He wasted four years actually
Republicans abused democrats restraint, and took it for what it was, utter weakness – sort of like how Russia walks over Europe – where Europe practices “restraint” but Russia shows it for what it is, weakness. Don’t be weak when democracy is on the line.
This is infuriating How can Garland justify waiting so long? Trump should have faced consequences by now😡
When a rich person can delay justice for four-plus years, we know the system is broken.
You must not subject doing the right thing to complacency.
Shoutout to all the shitheads who kept saying “just be patient; the wheels of justice move slowly.”
Is it a mistake if it was done on purpose?
Merrick Garland is a MAGA puppet
to us peasants this may look like a mistake.
to the statesman class however this looks like class solidarity.
I don’t think he sees it as wasted; he probably got the exact outcome he wanted.
Here is a thought: Democrats don’t actually want to win. It’s just a self licking ice cream cone.
Donald Trump’s and his goons tried to stop an election and got away with it. Now we’ve re-elected this guy. Clown nation.
Democrats are idiots. They are playing a gentleman’s game, while the Reps are far more ruthless.
They only have themselves to blame.
Garland and Biden will likely be remembered as people who were evil through inaction. They have (grossly, and negligently) underestimated the threat, and did not defend democracy.
He ran on bringing the country together
But one side hires a rapist to watch their kids
It wasn’t a mistake. Not pushing hard to prosecute was a conscious choice. They decided that prosecuting an attempted coup wasn’t important enough, because the turmoil could have a negative effect on donor profits. America is Broken.
Teflon Don sends his goons to attempt a coup and gets away with it in ‘merica. But don’t buy up all the toilet paper at the CVS and sell it from your garage, the feds will be there within the week.
The cost was democracy
Garland was a known commodity. The buck stops at the top.
Agent Smith was ready to go, but wasn’t deployed until 75% of the way in.
Maybe Dems should stop appointing Republican AGs?
You’re all wasting time legislating the 14th amendment !! Your own oath requires you to act !!! We employ only ostriches in this government- no one is coming to save us from the daily catastrophe we are enabling.
This is the Democrat’s usual (failed) strategy coming back to bite them in the ass. They go low, we go high.
The Republicans played games and cost Garland a spot on the Supreme Court. So, the Dems had to come out and show everyone how good they were. How bipartisan. How they weren’t as awful and cynical as the Republicans.
Virtue-signalling. The only thing the Dems know how to accomplish.
They had to show everyone that they would actually nominate someone from the other party as AG, unlike the Republicans.
Garland had something of immense value stolen from him by the GOP, so the Dems also had to come out and make that right. Show everyone how good they are. How honest. So, he gets AG, even though that ruins absolutely everything for the Dems.
Now, here’s the ridiculous part… No one gives a shit about all this ridiculous virtue-signalling! People care about getting things done (something the Dems can never do, for various reasons). All the people who say ‘look at the Dems going high – I’ll vote for them now!’, ***already vote Democrat!*** The Dems are wasting all this time and money – and handicapping themselves in the process – all so that they can preach to the choir!
The voters don’t give a shit how good you are! The only ones who do already vote for you.
Right now, is Biden doing everything in his power to protect the country/world/Ukraine from Trump? No. Not in the slightest. Hardly any executive orders. But, he has done all sorts of photo-ops with Trump showing everyone how the Dems are good and would never interfere with the peaceful transition of power like the Republicans would.
The “fatal mistake” was Democratic voters believing the continued lie of “partisanship” over “accountability”.
South Korea has shown us how to PROPERLY handle a coup attempt. Both party’s leaders have sold out its citizens for the capitalist elite and the Plutocracy begins!
I’m not sure if our founding fathers would be more disappointed in the collapse of democracy due to blatant self interest corruption. Or if they’d be cheering on the youth to take charge of the future of our nation!
In retrospect, Merrick Garland would have been a fucking terrible Supreme Court Justice.
Garland like all their members answers to the Federalist Society and no one else.
Jack Smith should have just requested a pause for the duration of the Trump administration. Dismissing because of a truly poor memo saying one cannot prosecute a sitting President is chickenshit.
As an aside, many other countries prosecute sitting leaders without the country going into a tailspin, so could the USA.
After reading the Matt Gaetz investigation it’s pretty apparent the DOJ is in the tank for Republicans
Garland was too concerned with optics, when it didn’t really matter.
Trump and the right already claimed that Biden and Garland were directly prosecuting him when in reality that wasn’t the case.
