"The fact that Trump is now unlikely to ever face consequences for his crimes can be laid squarely at the feet of one man: Merrick Garland. He dragged his feet on prosecuting Trump, making it easy for him to run out the clock and escape accountability."

We did expect our Attorney General to do the right thing. He betrayed our country as far as I’m concerned.
Biden could have pressured Garland to move faster, or picked a better person to run DOJ, or replaced him.
Biden is many things, and accomplished a lot, but wasn't equipped for this moment in history.
Don't forget to include mitch McConnell, SCOTUS, and 73 million voters. They are just as much a part of this as Garland and Biden.
His campaign was a car crash and hers was superb. And they still chose the rotting rapist corpse
Newsom too woke, Buttigieg too gay, you needed a moderate
It was all bullshit.
As @kenwhite.bsky.social says institutions can't save us, they move too slowly. Only the ballot box can.
So it was a collective cluster something. It's not all Garland s fault.
A couple more prosecutions might have resulted in a bigger win for Trump and the GOP, esp. after SCOTUS reversed the convictions.
But at least he would have had to go through some things.
Justice takes time, but trump got all the white glove treatment possible from DOJ and judges.
Roberts, Thomas & Alito are in the bag
The 3 new GOPuxers are still a bit stuck on the whole constitution thing
They've secured control of every facet of US Govt & they own the SCOTUS.
Project 2025's here & there's nothing anyone can do about it.
The United States of America as everyone knows it is over.
It'll be Gilead on steroids.
All he has to do is preface everything & anything with "This is an official act", then he's covered. The SCROTUS will co-sign with a rubber stamp & file it as approved.
""The fact that
This is all open source information please Google it. Garland always has been a republican and has always been loyal to the Republican Party. Biden was wrong reaching across the isle. Garland still May end up as a part of the MAGA scotus he will vote forTrump .he defended Trumps rape case
Here we are. 😒
Trump should be kissing Garland's feet.
The goal of the establishment is to maintain the status quo.
Trump's investigations and trials were as much about show as a campaign promise. There was never any real political will to prosecute a former president.
Its no one's fault but those who bought the media lies as truth.
McConnell has always been a soulless ghoul.
He wanted him on the SCOTUS but the GOP blocked it.
Welcome to the stolen Fragmented States of Rushica
“America” is dead.
I had a blue voting friend today tell me the Democrats don’t “know what the people want”
Really?
We are in Rome now, Bread and Circuses
I am ill …
Everything tidily dovetailing doesn’t happen accidentally.
