Summary

Democrats blame Attorney General Merrick Garland for delaying prosecution of Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol attack, allowing him to win reelection before facing trial.

Critics argue Garland wasted critical time before appointing a special prosecutor in late 2022, enabling Trump to evade accountability due to DOJ policy barring prosecution of sitting presidents.

While Trump faces ongoing civil lawsuits, his return to power threatens pardons for convicted rioters and continued revisionism about the attack.

Despite public disapproval of Trump’s actions, he successfully leveraged misinformation to regain the presidency.

    Just a couple months ago, you would have screamed at anyone who engaged in such talk on the grounds that they were Russians that wanted Trump to win.

      Yeah, that’s about the reading comprehension I suspected you were working with in our interactions a couple months ago.

        Centrists insisted that his critics were all Russians who would be gone as soon as the election was over. You all knew they weren’t.

        Condescension is no replacement for defensible positions. And it sure as hell wasn’t a replacement for a good candidate.

          Again, you’re proving that your low level of reading comprehension has been consistent these past few months, but not much else, considering that’s not even close to what was being said.

            Doubling down on condescension is also no substitute for defensible positions.

              PugJesus literally called my previous account a Russian asset.

              Amazing how he ignores his own choices and past.
