Justice for the wealthy!
Who would have guessed garland would be a terrible pick for SC and AG. Well done Biden
Considering that the whole reason Garland was nominated for the Supreme Court in the first place was that he was so conservative Obama figured the Republicans had no excuse to object to him, I sure as Hell did guess that!
Yeah, now go and vote for trump!
Oh wait...
We can't be sad/disappointed in Bidens terrible decisions? I hope he doesn't keep garland in his next term
Bomb threat
Now that I have the DOJ's attention: Do us all a favour and tell Garland that this is his fucking fault for not accelerating this shit into court with the pedal to the metal immediately after Biden took office.
The first year, I was like, "They need to shore up their prosecution."
The second year, "Probably waiting until next year, so not to cause an issue during an election year."
The third year, "Come on....do something. Anything. Charge him for littering..."
The fourth year, "It's not happening. Not when he's running for office."
It was his bid to get it in 2020, too.
They had 4 fucking years to get this little bitch ass loser in a jail cell with a misfitting orange jumpsuit. This is such a slap in the face of all of us peasants.
And now there's not enough time to do anything, even if he admitted all of it and provided evidence
Americans have a hard time understanding that what happens in most of the world can happen here, too.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
At a weekend rally in Ohio, his first as the presumed Republican Party presidential nominee, Trump stood onstage, his hand raised in salute to the brim of his red MAGA hat, as a recorded chorus of prisoners in jail for their roles in the Jan. 6 attack sang the national anthem.
Initially relegated to a fringe theory on the edges of the Republican Party, the revisionist history of Jan. 6, which Trump amplified during the early days of the GOP primary campaign to rouse his most devoted voters, remains a rally centerpiece even as he must appeal more broadly to a general election audience.
In heaping praise on the rioters, Trump is shifting blame for his own role in the run-up to the bloody mob siege and asking voters to absolve hundreds of them — and himself — over the deadliest attack on a seat of American power in 200 years.
Republicans in Congress are embarking on a re-investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack that seeks to shield Trump of wrongdoing while lawmakers are showcasing side theories about why thousands of his supporters descended on Capitol Hill in what became a brutal scene of hand-to-hand combat with police.
Trump is facing a four-count federal indictment over Jan. 6 — charges he conspired to defraud Americans over his 2020 election defeat and obstructed the official proceeding in Congress to certify the vote for Joe Biden.
The initial House Select Committee on Jan. 6 found that Trump criminally engaged in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 presidential election and failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol and beating police.
The original article contains 1,118 words, the summary contains 277 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
If Trump wins the election this year, it's going to be the last election for President we ever have.
slow motion coup.
So now he’s taking credit for/working with Antifa?
Even if he loses again, won’t he just run again in 2028 if he is still alive?
