(11,223 posts)60. You could say the same thing about US justice system
Remember the torture in Chicago?
Remember the abused and dead people of color in the US by the police?
Remember the Supreme Court giving the criminal Trump immunity? Remember the Supreme Court taking away women's right to control their own bodies?

I'm not a vet, but I'm certainly not bragging about Venezuela's free health care at the moment.
