Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Seems that any day that ended in a y, demoralized the DOJ with as much gusto as they seemed to lack actually charging and prosecuting, always errering on the side of caution, allowing the fascist criminal to take control of the United States government, well, as lock as they didn't stick their necks out, they'll still lose their jobs, to people who will destroy the entire rule of law. Good work, folks, excellent public service.
I don't think we can say they were erring on the side of caution. A cautious person would have seen what happened in efforts to get state election results thrown out, on January 6th, and of course they would have pursued all of those prosecution efforts as soon as possible. Because if they waited, you would get what we have here today, and everybody knew it.
It could be because their bosses wouldn't let them do their jobs. Now things will be even worse. They will be set like dogs onto people for political reasons, while still unable to prosecute those who deserve it.
It's not good enough to blame it on their bosses. Everyone there had the option to speak up, to go find some senators to talk to, to talk to the press, to quit their jobs in protest. If they didn't do that, then they put themselves before the general public. And I understand they may have had practical reasons for doing so, but it was still their choice not to act.
