  1. When are people going to learn that he people we pedestalize are immune from consequences?

  3. Woulda, shoulda, coulda, might, may be, outta, will likely, etc. and in a week the felon tortures us all again with his hateful, self-serving, abject stupidity and vengeful ignorance.

  5. ‘Special Council’s side reports: we would have won.’

  7. we have a legal system.

    not a justice system.

    and for all those hand wringers who wonder how nazis rose and stayed in power in 1930s Germany–well it’s pretty easy to understand real time.

  10. “The department’s view that the constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a president is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the government’s proof or the merits of the prosecution, which the office stands fully behind,” Smith writes.”

    *Does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged…* So, if a president murders someone while in office, he can’t be charged until AFTER he serves his term? If he’s caught committing acts of sexual violence or rape with irrefutable proof, la-de-fucking-da? I thought it wasn’t the constitution that prohibited the charging of a sitting president with crimes, but actually a DOJ policy-is that not correct? And this bullshit worry that charging a sitting president with a crime would disrupt the functioning of our government is the biggest joke of all. 1) tRump is the laziest president in modern history, so I don’t know what would be disrupted, and 2) isn’t that why we have a vice president? I’m sorry, but this statement confounds and frankly, enrages me.

  11. We’ll get him next time loses an election and tries to overthrow the government.

  12. –says Smith, the prosecutor who is supposed to believe his efforts would have been fruitful.

    Yall are grasping at straws.

  13. Garland wouldn’t actually go against the rich and ruling class. That’s hilarious

  14. Murica voted for him, possibly the most stupid nation on earth at the moment.

  15. We’ve known this for ove two years. To little too late. We’re fooked
