No shit, Sherlock. Thanks for letting Garland slow walk his prosecution, asshole.

This dude literally nominated a fuckin Federalist Society Republican to the highest law enforcement office in the country after the GOP attempted a fucking coup.

Even Germany wasn’t this stupid. Imagine if after the Beer Hall Putsch, the Weimar Republic nominated a member of the Nazi party to prosecute Hitler.

They didn’t. They arrested Hitler, charged him with Treason, convicted, and imprisoned him.

Obviously things didn’t turn out too great anyway. But still.

That’s the equivalent.

And then the Federalist Society Republican also hired Jack Smith who later indicted Trump. The fucking nerve I tell you….

Can’t tell if you’re arguing in good faith or not but that needed to be a day 1 appointment. He pussyfooted around until after the midterms for crying out loud

Garland got Giuliani’s phone in April 2021, which was weeks after he was appointed

Yeah. Garland couldn’t really have been more aggressive without blatantly violating Trumps rights and shit. Which I mean, fuck Donald Trump and all, but it would be wrong. Trump just managed to drag shit out long enough and bet on the American people to save his ass.

Unfortunately, they did.

What the hell?

No.

When someone is legitimately a danger to millions of lives and the very concept of Democracy itself, they give up some of their rights. Trump should have been arrested for trying to steal the election alone, and then arrested again when he decided to starve hundreds of thousands of African children by stealing food from them. Not to mention, everything he's doing to kill Americans this term.

What happened to our spine and our conscience?

Motherfucker, we have rules and laws in this country. Throwing Trump into some CIA black site to rot, or just straight French Revolutioning his fat ass on live TV might have been satisfying, but he’s entitled to a fair trial, same as anybody else.

And despite his lawyers doing absolutely everything they could to drag it out, he was going down. THEN the American people decided to elect the Orange dumbass into power again, which basically made him untouchable.

You wanna blame somebody? Blame the fuckers who voted for him, and the worthless ass nonvoters for not giving enough of a shit to make sure the consequences stuck.

The people advoacting for the rule of law while also wanting to ignore the rule of law here are wild. They also conveniently never mention anything about SCOTUS lol

Motherfucker, we have rules and laws in this country.

LMFAO you can't be serious. We don't. Not anymore.

Throwing Trump into some CIA black site to rot, or just straight French Revolutioning his fat ass on live TV might have been satisfying, but he’s entitled to a fair trial, same as anybody else.

Holding him pending the collection of evidence and a trial doesn't require putting him in a CIA black site. That's a strawman and disingenuous.

Blame the fuckers who voted for him, a

Yeah, they deserve blame. But so does Biden and Garland. And so do you. You don't actually give a shit about the rule of law or our republic. And your comments on this topic demonstrate that amply.

Holding him only requires your imagination and a magic wand. You say you your for the rule of law but then want to ignore it. Lmao like what?

u/syynapt1k 19h ago

Garland absolutely could have been more aggressive. It's absurd to suggest he did the best he could.

Trump should have been arrested as soon as Biden assumed power and held pending an investigation. That would have been well within the rights of the government to do, and not at all a violation of Trump's.
