He doesn’t give a shit he’s an establishment republican who never should’ve been appointed. His entire mission was letting republicans off the hook while tricking the public into believing accountability was coming. He was NEVER gonna hold republicans accountable for anything

letscruise.bsky.social•6 days ago

He doesn’t care. How do people still not get that he was always working for and on behalf of Trump?

silassoule.bsky.social•6 days ago

He is getting way too much flak that he doesnt deserve.

decapitalize.bsky.social•6 days ago

“Politically engaged libs”? Where? Earth 1 or Earth 2?

mandoqueer.itch.io•6 days ago

politically engaged and politically competent are two different things

flglchicago.bsky.social•6 days ago

only fucking cowards who never led anything in their lives or served anyone but themselves focus blame for all this on someone like Garland

hate away, you're as garbage and as intellectually stunted as any MAGA

ilooovefloyd.bsky.social•5 days ago

Garland is probably oblivious. Also i don't think chump knows how hated he is. His people are too scared to tell him

reactionordinary.bsky.social•6 days ago

not in the least. and I doubt he’d care either.

thinkingrealhard.bsky.social•6 days ago

Who will interview Garland?
I am very curious to hear his reasoning.

bigbeeinfinity.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm pretty sure you just accused Garland of Unabomber cosplay

mdecrane.bsky.social•6 days ago

Garland is way too dense and obtuse to have any self reflection or self awareness

armthewhales.bsky.social•6 days ago

Today would have been a good day to be celebrating the third anniversary of Donald Trump being sent to a federal prison to begin serving a 20-year sentence for sedition.

armthewhales.bsky.social•6 days ago

I know, I know.... My friends and I have cried so much since the election I half-suspect it was rigged just to boost the stock price of Kleenex. :-(

mumofperfectkids.bsky.social•6 days ago

I wish that was the motivation for this madness. I’d go to Costco and buy pallets 😣

octatron3030.bsky.social•5 days ago

Garland and Mueller can both eat shit. Cowards worried about “political norms” that are nonexistent and not actual laws instead of real laws. They were more worried about being called a cuck on Fox News than doing the right thing.

"Incrementalism in defense of institutionalism is no vice."

boyishman.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is even more low effort than what you're accusing Garland of.

heathenswan.bsky.social•6 days ago

He’s a republican. He doesn’t care.

greg-den.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m not sure it is only liberals.

germancucumber1.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope his days are long and miserable. Unfortunately, his failure taints Biden´s presidency too.

turnofftrump.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think Garland's mistake was underestimating Trump.

Garland is a "real" conservative. A Republican... but many Democrats are similar.

The have difficulty imagining how much danger we are in.

They fail to understand that desperate times lead to desperate measures. They just stay the course.

theboobla32.bsky.social•6 days ago

He didn't underestimate Trump. He's part of Trump's crime syndicate, being that his best friend is Jared Kushner's attorney.

turnofftrump.bsky.social•6 days ago

Interesting...

Why do you think Biden would have him as Attorney General?

theboobla32.bsky.social•6 days ago

Because Biden himself didn't wanna prosecute Trump, and Garland was the Supreme Court nominee that Obama chose specifically in hopes it would placate the Republicans in an election year, so him not getting voted upon enabled him to be a sympathetic figure to fool the Dem base.

turnofftrump.bsky.social•5 days ago

I've been watching American politics since I was born in 1968.

I'm always very confused about how the Democrats can constantly lose every election even though they are always on the popular side of every issue.

I think people like you and I need to get more involved in the DNC.

theboobla32.bsky.social•5 days ago

I would run for office myself if not for the start up costs & no local organizers really wanting to hear me out/try my theory. Read it costs like $5,000 to get a staff, make a platform website, make a viral campaign launch video etc. I'm below the poverty line, don't have that money to spend.

turnofftrump.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yup. They were afraid to have a dem AG bc they knew MAGATs would claim the DOJ was "weaponized" and "partisan."

But having a republican AG didn't stop those false claims.

Dems need to stop caving in to MAGATs accusations. Caving in doesn't stop the lies.

We need to stand our ground.

skunkyweasel.bsky.social•6 days ago

Brother, i ask myself this way too often.

Great job leaving that building while it burned down and you did jack shit to actually stop that fire. His defenders I probably despise more than him though. Kinda like the band goose and its fans.

jeffreymkirk.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm guessing Garland is aware that progressives are mad at him, despite having no valid reason.

Those of us who know a thing or ten about the law also know that Garland fully prosecuting Trump by the end of 2024 was never likely.

Sorry, but it's not Garland's fault that Trump was reelected.

jeffreymkirk.bsky.social•6 days ago

Or that America's likely screwed till 2028.

Democrats can either spend the next four years pointing blame at whomever or they can get their shit together & quit pouting about bullshit like entirely predictable delays in the American criminal justice system.

Being real mad at Merrick won't do shit.

I’ve always liked and appreciated your work.

You’re much better than this profoundly stupid post.

hotgirlchristmas.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think he's a republican hack & he gets his coffee from the Dunkin' drive-thru.

iknwiknw.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes! Merrick Garland will be forgotten. Right nor left will remember him except as a coward. He serves one historical purpose as a lesson AGAINST white, male DEI. He wasn't qualified for the job but he was a Biden pal. Garland's what you get when a boys club inbred system refuses to hire the best.

markshatraw.bsky.social•6 days ago

I have to imagine we will get an unbearably sanctimonious memoir out of him in 18ish months

shoehornwithteeth.bsky.social•6 days ago

And unlike most people that libs hate, there isn't a millions-strong army of fascists to celebrate him for it.

rockintheroad.bsky.social•6 days ago

Also that smug bootlicker John Roberts, who had tge most power and chose to enable this, waves hands in air.

teorema.bsky.social•6 days ago

Worst non-Trump attorney general in modern history.

barryzigas.bsky.social•6 days ago

And yet John Roberts should be the one being shamed.

edburmila.bsky.social•6 days ago

He reminds me of Breyer, writing about how he wanted to fix the Supreme Court with collegiality right up until the last minute.

Some of these people inhabit a fantasy world.

kenmuldrew.bsky.social•6 days ago

You could have assassinated two supreme court justices just as easily as Garland. Do you wear a hoodie to disguise your failure?

madisonian76.bsky.social•6 days ago

Biden should never have thought that Garland was going to be anything other than what he is….way too judicial.

theboobla32.bsky.social•6 days ago

No, Biden should have realized that Merrick Garland's best friend is Jared Kushner's attorney. Merrick Garland was a MAGA mole inside the Biden admin.

itsheath.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m pretty sure every Democrat is pissed at him, not just “politically engaged libs”.

gaiasngbd.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hating him does nothing. Mitch should have removed on Jan 7th. He's to blame.

democracyrocks.bsky.social•6 days ago

The man literally destroyed us with his non partisan, bipartisan impotence.

carinachocano.bsky.social•6 days ago

They’re called rich white men. There was no distinction between fantasy and real life for them, so why wouldn’t they believe it was real?

gordonbsmith.bsky.social•6 days ago

How - EXACTLY - is this circular firing squad bs helpful?

mrlurkenstein.bsky.social•5 days ago

I hope so

uwspete.bsky.social•6 days ago

I wonder as well. If he’s some tragic figure who dies of shame and a broken heart, or another self-righteous James Comey with a 7 figure book deal.

bike2beer.bsky.social•6 days ago

Biden deserves a huge chunk of that hate

jay2.bsky.social•6 days ago

he thinks about walking into the coffee shop for an inordinate amount of time, but by the time he finally decides he's ready to order, the coffee shop closes and he just shrugs and leaves

amlyka.bsky.social•6 days ago

Perfect

chuck-onpiggott.bsky.social•6 days ago

emfish81.bsky.social•6 days ago

blueguy63.bsky.social•5 days ago

No. He is clueless

pizzmoe.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope so.

duhoc.bsky.social•5 days ago

I gotta admit I hate the mf sorry

emilcx.bsky.social•6 days ago

Pretty sure the area of the DC suburbs where he lives is sufficiently insulated from reality that his neighbors defend him

swedishkiss.bsky.social•6 days ago

He’s probably on a yacht in the south of France enjoying an aperol spritz at this very moment. He hasn’t a care in the world.

areyer.bsky.social•6 days ago

Although I am certain that tRump would have won the election even had he been convicted and jailed.

gracelesslady76.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wild how so many of us were angry that McConnell blocked his nomination in the Obama era like he was gonna be fuck all useless to us on that court anyway.

katherineogawa.bsky.social•6 days ago

Meh. His ponderous style & moderate views could have been an asset on the court. But they were definitely a liability as the nation’s prosecutor during a constitutional crisis.

gracelesslady76.bsky.social•6 days ago

Moderate as in the party that campaigns with Liz Cheney?

Yeah, "moderate" has gotten us in a nasty place and the word needs to be abolished by the democratic party.

The party of "meh," indeed.

nomoretyranny.bsky.social•6 days ago

He's locked himself in hus house

alangrofield.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think in his circles he is seen as a hero who stuck to the norms, unlike the current non-norm hooligans

urusobu.bsky.social•6 days ago

The hatred is real, but the recognition of his physical characteristics is minimal. Besides, I'm pretty sure Trump will provide him security, if he asks. Which contrasts the treatment of Fauci or even John Bolton. Is this why barristers wear wigs?

18thdems.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is Biden's fault. He could have appointed Sally Yeats who would have cleaned Trump's clock. Nope!

I want all the old Dems, Joe, Nancy, Bernie, Hillary, Steny, Clyde gone.
