Summary
Democrats blame Attorney General Merrick Garland for delaying prosecution of Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol attack, allowing him to win reelection before facing trial.
Critics argue Garland wasted critical time before appointing a special prosecutor in late 2022, enabling Trump to evade accountability due to DOJ policy barring prosecution of sitting presidents.
While Trump faces ongoing civil lawsuits, his return to power threatens pardons for convicted rioters and continued revisionism about the attack.
Despite public disapproval of Trump’s actions, he successfully leveraged misinformation to regain the presidency.
This is on Brandon. Fucking idiot thought decorum or whatever the fuck was so goddamn important. He is a failure of historic proportion.
“They go low, we go high”
But think of how NOBLY the Dems have lost the Republic! Completely polite and norm-abiding as what remains of our democracy is torn to shreds and pissed on!
They didn’t lose the republic … they gave it away.
You lose something of you trying to fight to hold onto it. When you weren’t fighting to hold onto something, then you just give it away.
At one point looking at all this political stupidity, it makes you think that the US is only run and controlled by one party, a single party united by money and wealth
They fought, they just fought according to the ‘rules’ of the game. They were playing baseball while the GOP was playing “Beat the ref and crowd to death and take their wallets”.
They’re so goddamn certain that the newspapers tomorrow will praise their sportsmanship against such a terrible foe, and talk about how they ‘deserved’ to win, since that’s how it worked in the Good Ol’ Days™.
In reality, what newspapers aren’t themselves intimidated by the thugs with aluminum bats will be lambasting the Dems for playing stupid fucking games while a massacre went on.
To the Dem thinking, everyone will lock arms and sing kumbaya and the next game will be totally aboveboard because people will be watching extra close for unsportsmanlike behavior. And hell - if it doesn’t work out like that, it’s not like the Dem players will be beaten to death - isn’t the GOP just going after refs and the crowd? The Dem reps feel safe enough to gamble with our lives as many times as it suits their civility obsession to do so.
Knowing that the GOP is both stupid enough and malicious enough to target these oh-so-civil-Dems in the coming years is scant comfort, but at least I’ll have plenty of folk to spit on when everyone is waiting in line for the gas chambers.
What I don’t understand about the whole thing is that targeting the Dem representatives already has happened. Not just Jan 6th, one idiot tried to murder Pelosi, and bashed her husband’s head in with a hammer.
I just can’t see Pelosi as human after not going after the fascists and sitting in the lukewarm shit for a bit more. I don’t know how the hell didn’t she make it her life’s mission to see at least some justice for that.
The stocks would go down, can’t have that.
Because they’re so goddamn certain they can just wait it out and everything will return to normal. The newspapers will praise them. The Republicans will be contrite. They’ll be at the head of a new mythology of suffering-martyrs who made it out the other side to be the shining beacons of civility for the next era of statesmen. “Even when I was attacked, I didn’t strike back out of wrath or vengeance .” they imagine themselves saying, to a crowd waving their photo and naming awards for peaceful and cooperative success after them - or at least selling absurd numbers of their memoirs.
They can’t imagine that they’ll be remembered like those who appointed Petain in Bordeaux.
Hell, maybe they’re too dull to even imagine that anything that hasn’t already and literally happened to them will happen to them, I don’t know; I’ve known plenty of voters like that, so why not reps too? “I didn’t die last time so it won’t happen next time either!” Like people whose cancer goes into remission and take up smoking again.
Something something high road
When they go low… We sit idly by and get buried in their shit
Just a couple months ago, you would have screamed at anyone who engaged in such talk on the grounds that they were Russians that wanted Trump to win.
Yeah, that’s about the reading comprehension I suspected you were working with in our interactions a couple months ago.
Centrists insisted that his critics were all Russians who would be gone as soon as the election was over. You all knew they weren’t.
Condescension is no replacement for defensible positions. And it sure as hell wasn’t a replacement for a good candidate.
Again, you’re proving that your low level of reading comprehension has been consistent these past few months, but not much else, considering that’s not even close to what was being said.
Doubling down on condescension is also no substitute for defensible positions.
PugJesus literally called my previous account a Russian asset.
Amazing how he ignores his own choices and past.
Absolutely.
Trump is 100% Biden’s legacy.
He could have gone down in history as savior of the Republic. But no. At least he didn’t do anything overtly political regarding his criminal predecessor. I’m sure that feels fucking great.
We can’t piss off the Republicans, Kamala will need to court them to win in 2024!
She needed the endorsement of Dick Cheney.
Don’t worry, presidential candidate Nancy Pelosi will get G.W. on the campaign trail if the next presidential election isn’t canceled for some reason.
Doesn’t matter saved his own family and enriched his friends.
who the fuck is Brandon?
Morons who care about right wing memes call Biden that
I always thought it was such a weirdly-cute thing personally. Like, “Let’s go Brandon” kinda feels uplifting (especially with how everyone uses it out of context to show excitement now) and I have no idea how any of it was suppose to be a dig at the guy.
I think my minds just confused and needing to recenter to the new normal at this point. ITT we have “constitutional citizens” going after Trump and Left-wing Preppers not realizing they’ve joined the community already.
