"President Trump has pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the convicted founder of the crypto exchange Binance, following months of efforts by Zhao to boost the Trump family’s own crypto company."

You Americans elected a mobster as President.

Well, half us Americans did:) The other half is still in total disbelief

Closer to 20% of Americans did.

Disbelief, maybe. But you have to own it now.

Once is an aberration. Twice is your democracy speaking.

Eggs were so expensive though. /s

I feel there is some perversion happened - the American culture in particular has been strong on a hero cutting through and going across the laws and rules toward his goals (and the recent years super-hero craze is an epitome of it). And i feel that in some perverse way Trump got tuned into such a hero storyline and naturally abusing it to no end for his own gain.

We Americans had our choices robbed of us. And we cannot think outside of the ballot sheet.

I agree with you. The system is ridiculous, it gives the voter two options, and that's all. People point out that monopolies are bad, but a duopoly is very far from being a solution for it. Americans (and many other countries in the world) need better representation.
