Are you fucking kidding me? We've got to have some reprieve against this absolute madness. What you can't be held accountable you fucks? I'm sick of this already and he hasn't even taken office.
If recent history is the template, to be unaccountable you must be:
white
male
rich
racist
misogynistic
...if you aren't all of these then I'm sorry, the rules of accountability apply to you.
In a small win for Progressives, with the power wielded by Peter Thiel to swing elections and public policy, one attribute was removed from the above list:

OK whatever, why hasn't anyone charged him after the initial investigation? I know you can get away with fucking high schoolers because of Christianity, but paying for sex is still a no-no in most jurisdictions right?
That’s not the reason, though. Imperfect witnesses are quite often at the heart of criminal cases – co-conspirators, jailhouse informants, etc. If that was an obstacle, no mobsters or drug lords would ever have been convicted.
The real reason is cronyism and political privilege.
