It makes me sad. And the rigged Supreme Court letting an insurrectionist run.

The greedy have no value system.

blfreeman.bsky.social•190 days ago

Yes, he did as did the courts.

mommamia.bsky.social•191 days ago

History will not be kind to him.

Instead he attacked Biden. A private citizen. He can GTH

lifelongtennisfan.bsky.social•191 days ago

I gave him the benefit of the doubt over and again. But now I just think he froze. He wasn’t up for this assignment

jmoods717.bsky.social•190 days ago

Indeed he did.

thecrone17.bsky.social•191 days ago

This is not an era for timidness. Democracy requires bold action.

grandana.bsky.social•190 days ago

Garland is with The Federalist Society. Garland is doing exactly what he was expected to do.

archeryfan93.bsky.social•187 days ago

He was so weak

yolib.bsky.social•191 days ago

And now it's too late. Screw you, Merrick.

carbenzero.bsky.social•191 days ago

I 100% believe in this, he has not done the job as the law required of him.

bjr32.bsky.social•191 days ago

He failed us BIGTIME!

finddignity.bsky.social•190 days ago

Essentially Garland represented the goals of the Federalist Society (which he has strong ties to) while spouting sanctimonious statements about justice.

finddignity.bsky.social•191 days ago

When I read about his Federalist Society connections his inaction made sense. Garland never addressed the actual planners of Jan. 6. That emboldened them, and radicalized them even more. Always look at what someone does, and not what they say.

iexam.bsky.social•191 days ago

Possibly the worst pick for the US AG since John Mitchell, but more fatal to democracy than that corrupt arsehole.

sid-eschenbach.bsky.social•190 days ago

A most cowardly man, unfit for purpose.

ggmom615.bsky.social•190 days ago

He was picked to do nothing. Federalist Society, puppet of Leonard Leo.

ggmom615.bsky.social•190 days ago

IMO

studiojedi.bsky.social•191 days ago

So many other choices that would’ve been much better attorneys general:

Sally Yates
Preet Bharara
Doug Jones
Neal Katyal

blueeyedsentinel.bsky.social•191 days ago

100%

nj4ever.bsky.social•190 days ago

I despise him!

gregianthomson.bsky.social•191 days ago

It’s apparent that in America, crime pays

audhdad.bsky.social•191 days ago

I mean the safest person alive to be his AG is Garland. Absolutely won't catch charges for anything with that useless coward in there.

citrineglitter.bsky.social•190 days ago

He would have made a great Supreme Court Justice. He was not temperamentally suited to being the Attorney General.

Damn.

henrycove.bsky.social•190 days ago

I really agree he has not done anything.

justin1981.bsky.social•190 days ago

lauriekafka.bsky.social•191 days ago

I always said he was the worst pick of the entire Biden admin, immediately following his appointment. Once we all saw that he really was, in fact, a horrible mistake, and Biden MUST have known this to be true, why didn’t he get rid of him? Sometimes standing on ceremony has grave consequences.

blueeyedsentinel.bsky.social•191 days ago

Perhaps could fire him hire Jack smith and end this gdam madness

rdf328.bsky.social•191 days ago

Nice guy, but he definitely finished last.

lizardrath.bsky.social•191 days ago

Truth!!!

fraziberry.bsky.social•190 days ago

His IG page actually blocked me. I kept sending examples of Trump’s atrocities and asking what he was going to do about it.🤭

thegreatduggo.bsky.social•190 days ago

I found him annoying from the get-go but I also respected what his family had endured in WW2 and the Holocaust. I thought that might underpin a steely resolve and a stiff backbone but that doesn't seem to have been the case. He seems to have been more concerned about not making waves.

fascisttracker.bsky.social•191 days ago

What did we expect from a federalist?

demsgetitdone.bsky.social•190 days ago

I believe filing a case with such serious charges against a former President requires a thorough investigation and the delay caused by the Supreme Court would have brought us to the same place. I believe trump could have run for office from prison and pardoned himself when he won.

demsgetitdone.bsky.social•190 days ago

I blame our racist, misogynistic, xenophobic fellow citizens who fell under the spell of a despicable con man and the very powerful, very wealthy puppet masters pulling the strings to get this ignorant menace in office again.

jwalker0x.bsky.social•191 days ago

He’ll go down in infamy just like James Comey.

ann-t-social.bsky.social•190 days ago

Yeah, upstanding ol' Merrick....if anyone hasn't read this, it's worth a read....

jerzeegirl2000.bsky.social•191 days ago

Garland was never with us. I believe he was selected as a compromise candidate and ended up not wanting to rock the boat. He wasted our time.

sweetpea02.bsky.social•191 days ago

@bidenpotus.bsky.social @joebidenbsky.bsky.social This!!! MAJOR FAILURE

cielenbleu.bsky.social•190 days ago

What a tragic waste of opportunity after opportunity. He will go down in history as one of the most ineffectual AGs of all time. Think what a different place we’d be in if he had done his job.

transitfossil.bsky.social•190 days ago

failed to prosecute crime and treason.

he failed us utterly.

so did Biden. let us down at the end. didn't safeguard democracy.

jeffyt.bsky.social•191 days ago

Complicit by inaction.

negrolow.bsky.social•190 days ago

He has "dramatic villain twist face"!

halkincaid.bsky.social•190 days ago

I strongly agree with you. There were good evidence of treason and if you read about Aaron Burr the Supreme Court of that time said what was required to be guilty of levying war against the U S, refer to ex-parte Bollman 8US 75, 1807

hifibob58.bsky.social•191 days ago

Garland is just anotherspineless asshole in a long line of them foisted upon us by feckless Dems obsessed with and focused on maintaining “decorum” and outdated norms, rather than fighting FOR us, and pushing back against increasingly alarming levels of outright hypocrisy and fascism by the right.

fujitus14.bsky.social•191 days ago

Merrick is completely incompetent and a disgrace. Given the importance to our country of holding Trump accountable, why did Joe allow him to continue as AG? Joe should have fired him for lacking a sense of urgency very early on. IMO Joe will be judged more for what he didn’t do than what he did do

wherethelightis.bsky.social•191 days ago

He let the Jan 6 committee take the fall cuz he’s afraid of the orange blob

thefabulousone.bsky.social•191 days ago

He really did. What a waste.

chrisbritt.bsky.social•191 days ago

Truth

in1949do.bsky.social•191 days ago

Right on! Obviously and painfully Mitch knew something about Garland

doggybreath.bsky.social•191 days ago

He could be the reason for our demise

debbie156.bsky.social•187 days ago

He proved if you’re rich, you are above the law.

katers1956.bsky.social•191 days ago

"Without fear or favor". Those words will burn in my brain forever.

boop987.bsky.social•191 days ago

Four F**king Years!!!!!!!

detached-principle.bsky.social•191 days ago

The law forgot to "rule" and ignorance took its place

estherbgood.bsky.social•190 days ago

And Garland never pursued charges against Matt Gaetz.

catsmyau.bsky.social•191 days ago

It's just a long list of failures by the DOJ and our Intelligence Agencies. They were only concerned with maintaining the 'integrity' of their institutions. Unfortunately, it could cost us our Democracy.

elvisredux.bsky.social•191 days ago

Biden should have removed him but didn’t because of political appearances. Biden’s greatest mistake and history will reflect that.

joydesigner.bsky.social•190 days ago

Absolutely. We needed someone like Eric Holder in that role!

jp262.bsky.social•190 days ago

cheeho.bsky.social•191 days ago

Agreed

grumble333.bsky.social•190 days ago

People told me to give it time, wait and see, and foolishly, I was like "Ok, these things do take time."

asb412.bsky.social•190 days ago

He’s afraid of his own shadow. I blame him for Trump even being permitted to run again. #Coward

blueeyedsentinel.bsky.social•191 days ago

Biden fire Garland hire Jack smith and end this gdam madness

blueeyedsentinel.bsky.social•191 days ago

Garland is an impotent inept coward who failed all America and it's institutions

eclwires.bsky.social•188 days ago

I’m kind of shocked tRump didn’t nominate him for attorney general.

hortgirl0791.bsky.social•191 days ago

He wanted to appear as apolitical, yet we know which side he was on. So sad and such a miss for justice.

humanity101.bsky.social•190 days ago

👀👆😳‼️

ihatemaggats.bsky.social•191 days ago

Thank you very much garland- you failed your country-

mysoulhunter.bsky.social•191 days ago

Likely and he is done soon.

ceads57.bsky.social•191 days ago

He is a spineless ass kisser for Aipac..

kathie2013.bsky.social•191 days ago

It was clear three years ago Garland was a failure. Joe’s biggest mistake was keeping him.
Garland slow walked January 6 but let Hunter Biden get thrown to the lions.

buzzgrambo.bsky.social•191 days ago

It was SCOTUS that failed us.

mdwth.bsky.social•191 days ago

Trump & his Congressional SEDITIONISTS should have been arrested immediately and detained for treason immediately following Jan 6...

makaloa808.bsky.social•190 days ago

So sad that in 4 years he wasn’t able to hold tRump accountable and ran out of time. Just awful.

mimimineymo.bsky.social•190 days ago

I defended him for much too long.

grammy77.bsky.social•191 days ago

Too bad. I felt he was screwed over for the Supreme Court and was hoping this was his chance. Nope. Sad

martiniq255.bsky.social•186 days ago

A traitor

wisedan.bsky.social•191 days ago

He’s a weird little
Man Biden’s only failures not firing Garland with 6 months & not packing Supreme Court! Could still do both only one would help

jbird412.bsky.social•190 days ago

💯✅️

roguecitizenone.bsky.social•191 days ago

The kumbaya caucus seriously needs to learn how to fight back.

bobfrost.bsky.social•190 days ago

Yep!

marintane.bsky.social•190 days ago

100%. This election is on his shoulders. The Dotard should have been in jail right away. The DOJ didn't do ita job and now the world will suffer for it.
