if trump ordered someone to be shot for accepting bribes we would find this idea a lot less appealing

anyone who spent a lot of time in that part of the world will tell you this stuff can basically be made up

the western method to do this is to plant csa material on a person and then publicly announce they've been caught with it. not many people consider that 'possession' can simply be a USB stick found in a tree on your 2 acre lot, or a usb stick that has been planted in your car

your entire family and social network will immediately cut you off and very few consider these things can be fabricated

That's because that's not how the laws worked in the U.S., nor have the laws ever worked that way. If that was actually how the laws worked, a lot of enemies of each administration would get tarred with this, instead of literally none of them.

And they all won their cases. Drug possession isn't a strict liability crime.

Did you actually read your cites?
