Just for comparison, the Feds indicted some random person for selling pirated TV shows in 2019 and didn't get a conviction until this month. That's five years, and the SCOTUS wasn't even helping him drag the case out.
Federal cases take a long time when defendants insist on going to trial and dragging things out.
You should reread his speeches. He didn't lie about being a progressive. He was openly a centrist.
He never promised single-payer health care or a public option. He promised to stop insurance companies from excluding people with preexisting conditions, which he did.
He never promised to end all the wars. He promised to withdraw troops from Iraq and send more troops to Afghanistan, which he did.
And he didn't say anything at all about taxing the rich or helping unions.
Zen's fascists will control you
One hundred percent natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big bro on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back, you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay
The US may be the backbone of NATO, but that just means NATO can destroy Russia 20 times over.
Without the US, NATO can only destroy Russia twice over.
For one thing, the Netherlands has nearly the lowest wealth inequality in the world, yet it is a democracy.
He ran as someone who would bring together Blue America and Red America in the spirit of bipartisanship.
From the beginning, he intentionally reached out to Republicans.
We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the red states. We coach Little League in the blue states and, yes, we've got some gay friends in the red states.
His 2008 acceptance speech at the DNC mentions "Republicans" five times, and never in a disparaging manner. It does not mention labor unions even once.
Tonight, I say to the American people, to Democrats and Republicans and independents across this great land — enough! This moment — this election — is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive.
The Bush-McCain foreign policy has squandered the legacy that generations of Americans — Democrats and Republicans — have built, and we are here to restore that legacy.
I love this country, and so do you, and so does John McCain. The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have not served a red America or a blue America – they have served the United States of America.
The challenges we face require tough choices, and Democrats as well as Republicans will need to cast off the worn-out ideas and politics of the past.
And I've seen it in this campaign. In the young people who voted for the first time, and in those who got involved again after a very long time. In the Republicans who never thought they'd pick up a Democratic ballot, but did.
Even if she took zero steps towards the goal, that's infinitely preferable to Trump's pushing for annexation of the occupied territories and dismantling the Palestinian Authority.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be Israeli.
Special cases cut both ways. Judge Cannon and the SCOTUS would agree with you that Trump was a special case, thus delaying the case further.
Judge Chutkan insisted on treating Trump like any other defendant. I think she had the right approach.
