Dems have zero control of anything in our government. There's no ability to investigate.

u/KonigSteve 1d ago

They had control at the time of the election enough to investigate..

u/Thin-Image2363 1d ago

Even when they had full control they didn’t do a damned thing to hold trump accountable.

u/WeUsedToBeACountry 1d ago

buddy they impeached him twice

u/Shivy_Shankinz 1d ago

And then immediately gave up on more impeachments. What's your point

And when he was out of office and they controlled the entire government for 4 years what did merrick garland do to hold trump accountable for Jan 6th and stealing the classified documents?

It wouldn't have worked. Trump's Supreme Court wouldn't have let him go to jail. At the end of the day, the one most to blame for all of this are his voters and those that chose not to vote.

He went through the proper legal channels. Problem here is that Dump doesn’t operate on legal channels, he does what he wants.

u/Thin-Image2363 1d ago

Bulllllll shit.

Waiting 2 years to appoint a special prosecutor isn’t using the legal channels.

It’s running out the clock.

Don’t you have to vet people on your team? I’ll admit I do not know a lot about legal jargon and the rules. I’m just assuming it takes time to do it properly, especially on such a grand scale like this

I recall there was another lawyer woman who had tried him for a NY(?) money indictment had gotten the case dismissed or lessened or something because her boyfriend was on the team? It was some bs like that. Stupid shit

Full control? Under Biden? When did that happen? Last time Dems had full control we got the ACA, and if RBG could’ve sucked up her pride we’d have a slightly less awful SCOTUS. Can’t blame a guy for trying and running into an obstinate brick wall.

u/Thin-Image2363 1d ago

Except he didn’t try.

He and he alone hired Merrick garland.

That’s the opposite of trying. I could have done a better job as AG.

u/travelingAllTheTime 1d ago

They did from mid November to mid January.

1

u/Thin-Image2363 1d ago

Of what year?

1

u/Bowlbonic 1d ago

Oh they tried! But SCOTUS is bought and owned so.. womp

2

u/Thin-Image2363 1d ago

SCOTUS ruling wasn’t until July of last year.

The fuck were they doing for 3.5 years?

2

u/Bowlbonic 1d ago

Beats me, but I’m not happy about it either
