You spent 4 years bitching about how craven and politicized the AG spot was… and now you’re pissed that the current guy isn’t rushing to politicize - Will Hunting Oct 21, 10:16 13
- no no. I bitched about how we had a fascist in the oval office and how he was going attempt a coup. And now that it is - Jovian Oct 21, 10:30
- Yeah, but so far Garland hasn't shown much interest in dealing with those either. He seems intent on just moving beyond Trump and I think it's a - pmb Oct 21, 10:25 11
  - We don’t know what they’ve got, or even if the states don’t nail Trump in 6 different ways while the feds minimize targeting a political rival - Will Hunting Oct 21, 10:35 1
    - I still don't agree conceptually with the feds letting criminal actions go from a politician when they directly threaten democracy. It simply shows - pmb Oct 21, 10:52
  - its not just a mistake, its the end of US democracy if AG Garland isnt working on prosecuting Trump and his cabal. -- nm - Jovian Oct 21, 10:27 8
    - ~It's the end of the US democracy as we know it~ - Strongbad Oct 21, 11:00
    - You honestly need to realize Trump is never going to be held accountable. He's untouchable, and no jury would convict. Full stop. -- nm - MDH Oct 21, 10:32 3
      - Fine. But let the process happen though. So what, we are to no longer prosecute criminals because we think they will get off? -- nm - Jovian Oct 21, 10:35 2
        
        What crimes do you believe Trump could be prosecuted for and sent to jail? - Inigo Oct 21, 10:47 1
        
        There were actual threats of prosecution if they did not if you read the transcripts and a ton of other evidence. The vast majority of cases are made - pmb Oct 21, 10:58
    - The beginning of the middle of the end. - Beryllium Oct 21, 10:31 2
      - and if/when he comes back to power in 2024, it will be because Biden and his AG are weak and feckless, and that *will* be the end. -- nm - Jovian Oct 21, 10:33 1
        
        The middle of the middle of the end. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 10:42
And Sinema is our savior by not wanting to raise taxes -- nm - budice Oct 21, 10:02 1
- oh she's pathetic. -- nm - Jovian Oct 21, 10:13
Yes, perhaps, but in doing so you also got clipped by two or three other bullets. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 10:01
