Today democracy died.
We can never again claim, “In the United States, no one is above the law.”
💔😭💔😭💔😭

What a country. A Rapist/Felon as president. Don’t ever have the audacity to ever criticise another country again

sharonformerrepub.bsky.social•98 days ago

I am so very very angry at my fellow citizens who were too damn lazy to do a tad of independent reading. We have so very many blessings in this country and too many were willing to piss it all away over a conman who only ran to escape legal accountability for January 6th and The Documents.

truth-is-beauty.bsky.social•97 days ago

This is bad for America in ways beyond imagining.

tpalm.bsky.social•97 days ago

Wonderful or horrible, I believe we get in return what we put out unto those around us. Our legal system is utterly weak, but I will have faith in karma. And karma is a bitch!

rich-13-1-7-1.bsky.social•95 days ago

It’s an amazing time to be an American.

mred772.bsky.social•97 days ago

I agree.

WHY DID NO ONE ACT?
🚨The @FBI @petestrzok pondered whether Trump was a Manchurian Candidate, but were they aware of a Celebrity Therapist, who had access & skills to cultivate one.
I cited the therapist to the Fed Gov in a 2013 fraud case for manipulating patients behavior

liberty1980.bsky.social•95 days ago

Where were you when Hillary was sending classified emails form a private server in her bathroom, and then destroyed/deleted thousands? Or when Biden had been hoarding docs in his garage? Hypocrite.

Predictably, Trump's handlers are already framing this as the case against him being baseless. His followers will never admit it's only because DOJ has a policy of not prosecuting sitting presidents, regardless of how sleezy a dirt bag criminal that sitting presidents may be.

katemcaff.bsky.social•98 days ago

Nor can it be said that in America all people will be treated equal under the law.

It’s even questionable if it true that we are guarenteed one person one vote. The Electoral College system of voting for president needs to stop.

bpenicook.bsky.social•98 days ago

Disgusting. Just rewatched Jeffrey Epstein doc.. he kept skating past consequences until the end. The felon and Leon were good friends.

reinanijinsky.bsky.social•97 days ago

Agreed 🙌🏼

gerry2147.bsky.social•98 days ago

jcm444.bsky.social•98 days ago

And now for the consequences: Donald Trump will surely sell our national secrets for a nickel to his authoritarian friends. Something really serious needs to be done about Donald Trump.

maneki9neko.bsky.social•98 days ago

DJT will probably give intelligence away as party favors. Others will be more discerning. Consider Jared Kushner, one of the highest consumers of intelligence in the last administration. Kushner was given $2B to 'invest' by the Saudis, in trade for unspecified services.

Either you REALLY believe that because you have no idea what is actually going on and are blabbing about things above your head...OR.. You don't really believe it, but are just angry that the guy representing the other side won, in spite of the political witch hunt you participated in. Which?

imnot2greedy.bsky.social•97 days ago

Truly disgraceful and embarrassing.

srslysteve.bsky.social•98 days ago

Trump's won. His behaviour is now ok, and it will in fact be encouraged. Extraordinary. A real watershed moment in history. Trump wins, but real justice, and all ordinary Americans, lose.

flamingonites.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yes he did.

sick but as a woman and being Native American and Black i new this was going to happen. wrong but just like it was in 1798 so it is in 2024.

True that. Ffs...

So unfair

kathimorris.bsky.social•98 days ago

It’s like a knife to the heart.

detroitzeta.bsky.social•97 days ago

You can thank your US Supreme Court and Aileen Cannon for that.

crystaljbs.bsky.social•98 days ago

It really is stunning how he's never once suffered a consequence in his life.

travelmimi.bsky.social•97 days ago

Sickening

rvinetworks.bsky.social•98 days ago

So… would this eliminate any successful argument about double jeopardy in the event of, oh I don’t know… impeachment and removal from office?

gabriengregory.bsky.social•98 days ago

This is how we know we’re in trouble. We must fight back & resist at every opportunity.

anderk.bsky.social•97 days ago

Agreed

reussgd.bsky.social•97 days ago

There was NO WAY this country was going to send a former president to jail. Ever. Not Nixon, not Trump.

lldurkin.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thanks to the Supreme Court! We are in serious trouble.

emersonirvine.bsky.social•97 days ago

Trump got away with everything and voters were his accomplices.

kreid28.bsky.social•98 days ago

This should piss every American off. We should all be allowed to get away with criming moving forward. What a joke our “justice” system is

sonyaann1.bsky.social•98 days ago

Yes. We all would have been in jail a long time ago. So disheartening !

latka.bsky.social•98 days ago

(Sigh) HOW goddamn long did they have? I’ve been a Democrat since I was 18, but for fuck’s sake - when we have the ability to do things we need to DO THEM! 🤦🏽‍♂️

friscodemocrat184.bsky.social•98 days ago

This is all on garland

escontrias.bsky.social•98 days ago

Headline should read: Rich white dude gets away with it again.

dutchiegirlie.bsky.social•97 days ago

I was talking to the front desk clerk this am at my motel, & she said she was scared. I said "we're not done fighting & hopefully they're doing sth behind the scenes" & she said "nothing is going to happen, it never does, he gets away w everything". It's heartbreaking to see how defeated people feel

dutchiegirlie.bsky.social•97 days ago

The conversation started when my boyfriend was getting coffee - the machine wasn't working & she was giving him a hard time about guys messing things up. He said "That's why I voted for a woman for president". That part of the conversation made her smile, at least

theenickman.bsky.social•98 days ago

He will set all the J 6ers free too 🤮

jeanne-winfield.bsky.social•98 days ago

He got what he wanted but how he got “it” AND where he is today is the real concern. 🤬

tonynovakclifford.bsky.social•98 days ago

rocketdog3.bsky.social•98 days ago

Unreal America. Do not preach about democracy around the world ever again. Thanks, The World.

jay10011z.bsky.social•98 days ago

Apparently,it would violate the constitution, as it would interfere with the workings of the executive branch.

I strongly doubt our founding fathers imagined a situation where an insurrectionist rapist with ties to a foreign enemy government would be elected President.

robe87.bsky.social•56 days ago

Time to prosecute yhe Trump voters how dare you be so stupid with everyones well being to get your fraudulent leader back in office you are all fucking traitors your going to suffer this disgrace for the rest of time as treason is a life sentence

howardian328.bsky.social•97 days ago

Am sick over this decision.😝👎😥

blackskymonkey.bsky.social•98 days ago

Deplorable.

barb97305.bsky.social•98 days ago

IMO our justice system is in need of help.

proflac.bsky.social•98 days ago

And it’s all he wanted. No way does he want to do the work. He wanted to eliminate the prospect of prison and family bankruptcy. The job of governing 370 million people, not so much. He’ll be on the golf course, winning tournaments against nobody.

factualaf.bsky.social•94 days ago

Now do Murderer Ted Kennedy and Rapist Bill Clinton.

fuck-elon-musk.bsky.social•97 days ago

No surprise there.

abeyakacheta.bsky.social•95 days ago

Joe Biden will never be prosecuted. Neither was Hillary. Both deserve to go to prison. Trump was never a criminal. The only reason you believe that is because THEY told you he was, and because you dislike his politics and him personally you believed them.

porkulous.bsky.social•95 days ago

You should move

blueeyedsentinel.bsky.social•98 days ago

They all folded

notebene.bsky.social•97 days ago

Darkest Day

So AG Garland & Smith are dropping Criminal’s Charges because they are AFRAID of Breaking the Law 🆘 ‼️❔❔

They defy even the concept of Critical Thinking & the Gift of Reason in the Name of 6 Chief InJustices’ New Law “Donald is Above the Law.”

collijr.bsky.social•98 days ago

It’s sickening!

delmarvaguy.bsky.social•97 days ago

The disgusting pig Americans voted to represent our country is apparently above the law. Sad isn't it? 😡

mangy-dog.bsky.social•98 days ago

Merrick Garland is the George McClelland of our times.

He runs his army by the book, but declines to dirty them up in an actual battle.

caliorrn.bsky.social•98 days ago

Never again can it be argued that we don't have a two tiered justice system.

muddyyuma.bsky.social•97 days ago

What I’d like to know one day is, who’s protecting him? The intelligence community knew who he was back in the 80s. Yet he always seems to slide through the net. None of this is accidental.

deetrek.bsky.social•97 days ago

Karma will get him.

angryveteran.bsky.social•97 days ago

He was only running to save his ass from prison, maybe he will take the win and golf for the next 4 years.... One could hope....

john-in-halifax.bsky.social•98 days ago

This nonsense about not indicting/prosecuting a president is ridiculous. If there is supposed to be no one above the law, then make no one above it. If anyone should be under the scrutiny of the law for something illegal they may have done, it should be a country's leader.
