  • To be clear: they didn’t convict because he was leaving office in a few days anyway. because there was no need for a political solution when the doj can just do what it exists to do.

    there was no need to impeach him at that point.

    Hey, you know, it might be political if you don’t suck trump off.

    Maybe you should get on that. wouldn’t want to be political.

    (Fun fact, not doing something because it might be political is a political act, coward.)

    That is the trumpiest and scariest line of thinking possible. Elections are not meant to punish the losing side.

    The department of justice is supposed to enforce the laws of this country.

    And yes, you fucking coward, that includes arresting, trying and convicting an insurrectionist leader who tried to take over our country.

    Now go ahead, explain how that’s “political” and why we can’t have justice.


  • Contrary to popular belief, Biden (as president,) was in fact Garlands boss.

    Yes? The president is supposed to be fairly hands off, but when you have an FBI director who thinks it’s perfectly acceptable to wait a year until there’s a special prosecutor to get some of our most sensitive documents back, it’s probably well past time to ask him to resign and get someone who’ll do the damn job.


  • Yes, they had both chambers of the house for the first part of his presidency.

    Also, yes he appointed a scotus judge and a few others, but he didn’t pack the courts like he could have, and dems in both houses did fuck all to stop Trump or even solidify the voting rights act (which is now in the shadow docket chopping block.)

    Jan 6 was basically our version of the beer hall putsch.

    And fuck everyone who said I was wrong about that.







  • The officer told fellow police who arrived on the scene that he attended the students’ immigration rights protest with the intent of acting as an agent provocateur, according to a news report.

    Dusten Mullen, a sergeant with the Phoenix Police Department, has been suspended with pay pending an internal review of his conduct at a protest at Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona, on January 30, according to Phoenix Police Chief Matthew Giordano.

    So he picked a fight with a teenage girl, she gets arrested and he gets a paid vacation?

    He doesn’t get the same charges?!
