@NastyOldWomyn I was pretty sure this was the case, and the kvetching over MBS’ immunity was overblown. What something *looks like* to many as egregious can be perfectly normal and consistent with how things *should* work. The rules don’t always lead to outcomes we like. Thanks!
@SawyerSteve You’re welcome! That’s why I quote tweeted that paragraph.
@NastyOldWomyn @SawyerSteve Thanks as well. I distinctly remember my global studies professor pointing out why this is so, but I didn’t bother to look up the details.
