She was never president, and did not commit her crimes as president.

So maybe it wasn't realistic to expect Garland to have everything wrapped up by now?

France shows us how to beat fascism

And barred from office for a while, at least.

The first thing they did was keep her out of office

And that was one war in a long history of being maniacs. WWI cast a long shadow for the French.

And we know that trump used his sons to embezzle money numerous times! They haven't even tried to hide it! Fucking shithole country

Also, the French surrendered in WW2 because there was an unstoppable Nazi military invading, and the Resistance were some of the bravest fighters in the war. It's always felt weird that Americans talked down about it when nobody has threatened to physically invade America for two centuries.

Why is this impossible in the US?
Brazil took care of their criminal president

After being found guilty of crimes, a judge refused to sentence him.

I thank you for your enthusiasm but the far right is still a very real thing in france that gets more and more popular thanks to macron and his friends embracing their ideas.

Yes france is not as bad as the US we have an actual left wing party but... yeah...

We don't live in a country that throttles presidential power. We just don't.

It is Merrick Garland’s fault that his successor is about to be Matt Gaetz.

iizard.bsky.social•112 days ago

Absolute truth
