Five days after blaming China for “the largest compromise of election data in history,” President Donald Trump shrugged off Beijing’s actions and said the United States was doing the same thing.
Part of me hopes that the reason they didn’t is because of feared backlash. Now the script is reversed; do it or face the backlash. Trump showed you how. Get it the fuck done.
Look, the Democrats don’t want to prosecute white collar criminal behaviour, some of their best friends are white collar criminals… namely the Republicans sitting across from them in congress.
I see a lot of blaming Biden and Garland, but not much mention of SCOTUS which was instrumental for trump getting away.
Whether he was in real trouble they inserted themselves and saved him. They even invented absolute immunity when a case was so damning and straight forward that didn’t look like there was a possibility of him getting away.
I suspect the result would still be the same even if Biden and Garland did it exactly the way people accusing them due those political hacks (they don’t deserve to be called judges, they are anything but).
Sadly, right now even if progressives will massively win in 2026, 2028 and following elections they still will be similarly blocked on every step unless SCOTUS is unfucked which as I understand will have to be done by expanding the court.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
They just made up some bullshit that said you can’t keep him off the ballot.
Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith who investigated and charged Trump with crimes but then the American public decided they collectively didn’t give a fuck what Trump has done and re-elected him as president.
Don’t try to shift blame here it was the voters and the non-voters who gave Trump a get out of jail free card.
I think the more salient question is:
Why didn’t Merrick Garland?
Because he’s the biggest fucking coward this country has ever had to suffer the existence of. I almost hate him as much as I do the Republicans
The fall of the US lands squarely on Biden and Garlands shoulders.
People being like “The President can’t tell the DOJ…” Yes he can, he can tell them to get off their asses because he’s their top boss.
Literally we’ve been watching Trump do it for a year and a half. He can absolutely tell them “get shit in gear on this or you’re out”.

Other than the people actually doing it and all the people who voted for it, yes.

This is very true
They just made up some bullshit that said you can’t keep him off the ballot.
Even though we saw him do this on TV

I agree that Trump was reelected
I do not agree that had Merrick Garland not slow walked the prosecution, that would have been the case
It was the most complicated prosecution in US history and it would have gone somewhere if he wasn’t re-elected.
Four years is a heartbeat in cases less complicated than that one.
OMG
we saw it happen on live TV
journalist recorded all the planning that they did on parlor
this was an opening shut case
You’re thinking open and shut but it really wasn’t.
Trump was the president.
Because Biden told him not to
