Trump's campaign was big on vengeance, and the various unjust kangaroo courts that are going to spin up are going to be a nightmare.

But I'm not sure Merrick Garland's prosecution is going to get much sympathy from the left.

How much "we" fucked up

Uh, what was i supposed to do? I cant exactly eliminate the dnc on my own

running an ineffectual moderate when the opposition are literal fascists

A mound of cat food should have handily won over a serial felon suspected of espionage.

Don't blame the career justice lawyer and politician for assuming people to have more brains than a bowl of tapioca.

The only solution now is to rile up MGT so she gets Texas to secede and open the door for California/cascadia and new England. The Flatlanders are sick in the head and need to be quarantined.

And I know people think it's mean to keep kicking a geriatric president when he's a lame duck.

I'm okay with it when it's for legitimate reasons, and I think you have some legitimate ones. He did some real good on infrastructure and renewables, but he still fucked up in a lot of other ways. What's annoying is when people say he was either infallible or the very embodiment of evil.

We should accept the good while condemning the bad, because most people are more complex and nuanced than the caricatures presented by the internet.

But to your last point, I agree that we will continue to lose to the Donald Trumps of the world if we don't have someone willing to publicly promise to fight and hold the entire rotten establishment accountable.

if anything people don't kick the geriatric lame duck enough. mind that he helped the republicans in this election by insisting on running until it was super late. that's pretty bad for an extremely apathetic nation like the US. some people didn't even know he dropped out and found out when they saw the ballot on election day.

The one benefit of the doubt is that the court of public opinion is a much easier conviction than a court of law. And if you fail to get a conviction in the court of law, that's easy ammo for Gaetz to call the whole thing a witch hunt.

It’s unfortunate that Gaetz gets to walk away and live his life as a free man. But part of me has to believe that there is a good reason; as in maybe they dropped the charges because he’s considered a little fish, and they are going to use him to go after the bigger fish. Either way, fish stink, and so does our so-called “justice” system.

Yeah. They have a document on US soil that was (apparently) hacked and contains such damning evidence that a career politician would run away. That’s some fucking evidence.

It’s probably not as bad as what trump has done, but Matt doesn’t have the clout to bang a child and get away with it.

Nonhe didn't. If it were up to trump, he'd be in

It's the attorney general from Florida.

He looks like the great Cornholio, I bet he needs TP for his bunghole

“I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz said on Friday in a livestreamed interview on the Charlie Kirk Show.

Seems like they're referring to Charlie Kirk?

As someone with ADHD, I absolutely hate when articles do that. They'll mention someone's full name once, then then refer to them by their last name for the rest of the article, so that I can easily forget who they're talking about. Drives me nuts.

The only workaround I know of for this issues is to Ctrl+F the last name to make it easier to find the one spot where their full name is mentioned. I wish people would be more considerate of those with ADA-recognized disabilities such as ADHD and mention their full name every time.
