I blame Garland. Everyone says he sold our US democracy. All I believe unknown=WHO paid-HOW MUCH & exactly why. WHAT is the price for betraying >65 Million Americans-not to mention the future generations who I fear will have lost what generations of Americans fought & bled to protect= US DEMOCRACY?
Not sure Garland as SCOTUS would have been any better than Kavanaugh so glad he didnβt make it now.
Merrick Garland was "a repeat moderator for
Federalist Society events".
It must be hard to wake up every morning and realise you're still Merrick Garland.You miss out on being a SC judge because of GOP chicanery, then you get the chance for payback, and you wimp out. Because you want to "heal." Fool.
(it was a choice to start at the bottom, wasnβt it? it was an option, to be sure, but in hindsight, it might now be seen as not the best choice, non?)
Took two years to bring prosecutorial charges in the pretty much open and shut Watergate case
This was far more complex and had the Supreme Court blessing
It helps having a modern version of the "republic" which works. And a population who will never accept tyranny in any form anymore. It is in the French DNA. Of course there are folks like Le Pen but they are everywhere. But they usually do not get a majority as they seldom reach more than 20% votes.
Victor Orban, "Je Suis Marine Le Pen"... Franceβs far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzling European Union funds. Sentenced to 4 years in prison and banned from running for public office again. She was friendly to the Kremlin. #marinelepen #rn #rascist
I believe Merrick Garland's legacy will be that he was the first coward who refused to prosecute Trump on January 7, 2021, therefore setting the trajectory for Trump to be able to run again for President.
He and the Supreme Court are the primary enablers of Trump's lawlessness and criminality.
Perhaps. Perhaps not. You can't know a future that didn't happen.
If justice had been swift against a violent insurrectionist, the Supreme Court might have been swayed by that. SCOTUS was encouraged by the lack of commitment of the DOJ.
Of course I know. I wasn't born yesterday. There is no world where SCOTUS would have allowed Trump to be tried. They were LITERALLY put on the bench to do Trump's bidding.
Its honestly fucking amazing--they literally attacked the capital and they were like "maybe if we wait first--lets try to see if we can get this whole thing to take care of itself".
It is impressive, Merrick Garland rat fucked our entire country.
Thatβs the truth. I wonder what Garland and his old boss thinks about whatβs happening. They are watching every bit of progress made in the past four years disappear. They were warned.
Yep! And frankly the Dems @democrats.org Failed to Fire him! I'm not saying this to diss the Dems... I'm saying this to convey to them how infuriating it has been to have voted for them knocked on doors for them, donated money, win the 2020 election to have them fail so catastrophically at
2. Holding them all accountable from day one. Instead they played footsies and old school softball with neo nazi, white nationalists pretending to be the good old GOP! THEY AREN'T! and they weren't! Sorry, Dems were duped and made fools of. And many still are.
3. We are SICK and tired of platitudes and excuses. Dems gambled recklessly with Roe V Wade and lost. Now women are dying! We see through your BS! Stop playing with Centrist bullshit! WE ARE DEMANDING SOCIAL POLICIES which support and aid in HUMANITY! NOTHING ELSE!
the French did it correctly. Do a crime, get sentenced. None if this βoh wait you want to run for office lets not sentence youβ bullshit.
Like, if I went out and committed a felony, should I expect to get off by saying βI want to run for presidentβ? Since when is that a get-out-of-jail-free card?
Well...not to piss in the victory champagne but this game is far from over.
First, Le Pen can and most likely will appeal against the verdicts, and one of the universal rules of law is "in court and on high seas you are in the hands of God"...
2nd, do not underestimate her fanbase and those...
...who are pissed off with Macron but are still considering whom to give their vote. Keep in mind that the RN came out second in the last election and Macron had to scrape his majority together. And they might vote for the RN in 2027, Le Pen or not.
βthe players that ensured Trump would not be held accountable were the rightwing jurists on the nationβs highest court who effectively crippled Jack Smithβs prosecution through a combination of calculated delay and a ruling that undermined the rule of law.β
I blame John Roberts and SCOTUS more than Garland, he's the one who slow walked every one of Trump's cases, none of which should've ended up past the appeals court if SCOTUS wasn't so corrupt.
Thatβs a really good point! Garland was so ill suited to be the Attorney General. They shouldβve thrown him another bone when he didnβt get his supreme court position. First felon might have been locked up in the beginning of 23. What a godsend that would probably have been.
Marie le Pen has always shouted for any politicians found to have committed a crime, should be banned for life.
Ironic that she is now disagreeing when it affects her.π
Elon Musk defense of Marine Le Penβconvicted of embezzling β¬4 million from the EPβstating, βWhen the radical left canβt win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world,β is about protecting fascists who break the law.
I still believe the βteamβ that picked Garland, for any high position, need to be identified and prevented from further decision making, except in their own lives.π
If America had the same law, the convicted criminal, Donald Trump would be a private citizen being prosecuted for multiple crimes committed in multiple jurisdictions, and Jack Smith would be a national hero.
He had help. How many judges do you know who would have put off your sentencing for littering (let alone 34 felony counts!) until seeing the results of an appeal that could not possibly take place before the meth heads and fascists of this country elected you president?
I hoped Merrick Garland did what was the best he could. He was running the DOJ with integrity and precision. He appointed Jack Smith as special counsel was just. The problem came down to the procesecution couldn't get past Judge Cannon, who impeded the cases from reaching their conclusions.
Merrick Garland covered-up the Ku Klux Klan that runs the State of Illinois Department of Revenue to help a fellow Chicago Jew avoid a scandal: @govpritzker.illinois.gov
Yes, Garland had a thumb on the scale. Merrick Garland was "a repeat moderator for
Federalist Society events".
We had the best economy, jobs, stock market, etc with Biden.
Felon47 blew it all up in less than 2 months. We have yet to see how low Bondi will go but on track to be the most corrupt AG.
Merrick Garland is a moderate Republican. Obama put him up for Supreme Court nomination in yet another failed attempt at bipartisanship. Why Biden nominated him for attorney general I will never know.
The French courts acted swiftly, ensuring Le Pen faced consequences before gaining more power.
In contrast, Garlandβs slow approach has let bad actors in the U.S. operate unchecked.
Justice delayed enables corruptionβhad Garland acted sooner, the political landscape might be very different.
she committed the crimes between 2009 and 2017 and the courts investigated for almost a decade before the trial. garland had indictments out in under 3 years.
Accountability shouldnβt be a partisan issue. Expecting timely and decisive action isnβt "defending" anyoneβitβs demanding a justice system that works.
If delays allow corruption to thrive, thatβs a failure, no matter whoβs in charge.
I don't remember her violently attacking her government, stomping on cops, threatening her VP's life, and trying to literally incinerate votes to overturn an election.
Le Penβs crimes were investigated for nearly a decade, yet she was held accountable before taking office.
Garland moved faster, but the U.S. system allows delays that let powerful figures maintain influence.
Justice isnβt just about speedβitβs about ensuring accountability before itβs too late.
Yes, and despite the investigation, the French courts acted before she could gain more power.
In contrast, the slow pace of accountability in the U.S. lets figures under investigation keep their influence and run for office.
Delayed justice weakens the systemβs integrity.
Let's not forget who blocked Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court, which would've meant he'd be occupied with that, and someone else would have taken care of the other things.

If he was unhappy with job Garland was doing (which was what?), he could have fired him. He could have invoked the Patriot Act to arrest all insurrectionists, boots & suits, & stash them in Gitmo. Thereβs much he couldβve done to protect the country & the Constitution from ruin but he chose not to.
For the love of Pete, let the man be, willya? Why in the name of all who wear sandals would you ping on Garland when that blonde bimbo sits in his office?
Thatβs because Mary Merrick Garland is a scary, sissy pussy waste of a man and I use that loosely, who was scared of his own shadow and slunk away from office.
Merrick Garland is exactly why FOTUS is back in the White House. I just wonder how much it cost to buy him and his integrity. He used to be an honorable man.
no fan of Garland here
but you can thank the corrupt SCOTUS 100% for this shit show rn
they dragged out their ruling on purpose to give him immunity
#DreddScottScotusπ€¬
Exactly, rule of law matters and justice should be served without fear or favor as he repeated ad nauseam. And in French politics that could actually serve her partyβs interest with her designated successor Jordan Bardela likely to get wind tails from this verdict.
Now, you're being an ass. How fucking long did it take him to do anything? Any with a half of a fucking brain knew Trump would try to run out the clock, which he fucking did. Yes, he indicted Trump but we wanted fucking convictions.
Then we would be blaming SCOTUS. But you're making assumptions. You don't know that. Deal with the facts that are in front of you. Garland took way too long.
I supported Garland through the first 2 yrs. I had some understanding of how complex the job was going to be to bring to trial a past president. After the first 2 years I realized he was not the man for the job. The FBI handcuffed him in many ways by not following thru on investigations.
I donβt understand what Obama saw in him. Garland is a member of the Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation is another sanitized version of the KKK. Iβd ππΌ kick him in the π₯.
But they're blaming the voters... I mean if they did their jobs, Trump wouldn't have been able to run and get immunity just a few months prior to winning.
It's so sickening, they HAD Trump by the balls for years!
I blame the voters too, and the supreme Court, republicans, Democrats, state and city of NY, NJ, AC, the media. Almost everyone has a level of culpability
I think it would not have gone so poorly for LePen if the U.S. had not served as a modern cautionary tale against letting people get away with this level of crimes
Kudos to France for Justice! US needs help:
Lets get the vote out on Tues. April 1st!
For real representation vote Dems.

#Biden and Co. Destroyed all credibility of legal system when they only pursued #Trump after he announced his re election
I wonder if garland regrets not being more aggressive and moving faster
Get back at the GOP
Too bad he didnβt take the Trump threat seriously
Yates would have been
Better!

He and the Supreme Court are the primary enablers of Trump's lawlessness and criminality.
Had he acted swiftly, a prosecution & trial could have & would have occurred.
By the time Garland hired Jack Smith it was far too late.
You think if he had moved faster, SCOTUS would have just said "Oh shit! You surprised us! Now we can't give him immunity!"?
You can't be that naive. There was no "clock to run out." SCOTUS was giving him immunity whether charges were brought Day 1 or Day 100.
If justice had been swift against a violent insurrectionist, the Supreme Court might have been swayed by that. SCOTUS was encouraged by the lack of commitment of the DOJ.
Maybe you're the naive dope.

In the end, it was all for nothing.
Biden's worst mistake.
Now everything he accomplished is eliminated.
Refusing to take action to protect us is also grounds for arrest

Merrick didnβt appoint a special counsel until almost halfway into Bidenβs term. Thatβs a big FAIL.
And again, Garland going faster would have just meant SCOTUS giving Trump immunity faster.
Rule of law, my ass. Now the entire world has to pay the price.
