He only has immunity for illegal acts conducted during his execution of his duties as President. Raping children is not an official act of the Presidency. He may however be beyond of the statute of limitations. He was not the only powerful man that needs to be exposed. All of them should be.

Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.

You are 100% right. So corporations like Walmart or McDonald’s don’t pay a living wage or provide healthcare benefits so the us taxpayers subsidies those employees with SNAP, Medicaid and other social service programs.

Look it up yourself. The numbers are wildly misleading on purpose. There is huge pay inequality in the US, and CEO pay includes things like stock options, performance bonuses and other benefits not afforded to the hourly worker, but often part of packages for executives & managers.

None of these numbers are even close to accurate but the idea that a CEO should make obscene amounts greater than the workers is in itself obscene. You do not creat a healthy economy with that kind of thinking. As evidenced by our growing homeless population.
