The Iraq war set the standard. Darth Cheney made torture great again and nobody even saw trial.

After 20+ years of forever war it only came up as a campaign issue, in how did someone vote for the Iraq war when they were in congress.

Wasn't one private courtmartialed? Lynndie England. And googling says 7 faced courts-martial this year, while independently another court awarded $42M in damages to the prisoners (who survived).

I'm outraged about Cheney's enshittification of our nation too, but truth is important.

Yeah, some justice but no one of consequence, which set the stage.

(Like what happened to the psychiatrists they hired to come up with waterboarding and other torture methods?)

Fast forward to today and you have a wannabe King pardoning his own coupists, massive fraudsters, and conspirators with foreign states.
