Spineless democrats could have prevented this 5 different ways, but failed to lock him up 4 different times, & pushing 6 million voters away from the party after funding genocide instead of doing what they were elected to do!
If progressives don't take the party over to change it, the party's over!!
there were many 'should have ended trump' moments before the J6 republican insurrection spawned by trump. But the institutions across the board, mostly the media and GOP, but also DOJ and the courts have failed us miserably, so now we live in a fascist nation
The only place left for the ‘buck to stop’ is the Supreme Court.
They may lack precedent, to shut Trump down, but in the spirit of our Constitution, a majority of justices could grab Trump, by the horns, and put him, in his place.
After that day, there was no excuse remaining- you knew who he was.
If you SONEHOW still didn't know... Him planning on pardoning the literal traitors of Jan 6th, made it impossible not to know.
#LizCheney spoke the Truth! Trump was impeached but McConnell and the Republican Senators were too weak to remove him!!!! That was the Fatal Mistake!
#NeverForgetJan6th
Can any of you come up with why you did not do this? @schiff.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov ???
🎯 it's disgusting that he got away with that and is now leading the country. Too many rules to follow to get rid of someone & not enough to save a country and its people.
We did not have enough of the leaders we needed for this time. We needed fearless loud aggressive patriots. What we got were too many spineless power hungry selfish weaklings Who sat complacent as he undermined our democracy n gave us a big middle finger.
Been saying this since Jan. 7. The missed chances to lock him up were ridiculous:J6& J6 investigation. Russian interference, Mueller Report, 34 felony convictions, Merrick Garland investigation,stolen WH files,Leticia James, 18 sexual assault allegations, Stormy Daniels. Courts did zero to stop him.
The excessive constant lawfare wagered against him is what made it so easy to dismiss it all as political attacks. The first call for impeachment came before he was sworn in for his first term by Maxine Waters. Nonstop lawfare while saying it's not lawfare makes it all seem illegitimate
Even in January 6, Mitch McConnell would have supported his arrest. By January 10th, their short memory had already begun to rewrite the history of January 6.
SCOTUS wasn't going to let anybody prosecute him, not Garland not anyone. They were going to run out the clock dragging out their decisions and kicking it back to lower courts to delay.
It's just Democratic Hubris. Biden, Schumer and Pelosi thought Trump was radioactive politically. The Media also repeated that often. Biden was worried about the Honor of the Office bullshit when he should came down on Trump like a 10,000 lbs Shit Hammer.
Should have been radio active. Never will understand how so many people could shrug off so many corrupt business scandals, convicted deception, convicted sex-abuse, and yet entrust him to hold the most powerful office in the world. Never will understand it.
Dems should have dropped the world on him but they didn't as always. As soon as Kevin McCarthy went down to kiss his ass less than 2 months into Biden's term they should have known.
Yes but if the bad child keeps getting rewarded they have no reason to shape up. It's like expecting billionaires to want to pay taxes, it doesn't work like that sometimes you have to drag it out of them.
Instead Trump pardoned the rioters, called them great MAGA supporters and patriots. Now his government is going to pay the rioter who was shot and killed breaching the capitol chamber $5m. And the Legislators whose lives were saved by capital police, allow Trump to attack these officers.
He was used to defendants who were low profile, incarcerated,plenty of time to prepare, and BROKE. He allowed TRUMP many exit and stall moments (months).
J6. Vote certification stops. Capitol evacuated. Democracy stops. Police injured/ killed. Military does nothing. Politicians do nothing. Oath to Constitution is lip service
The Grim Reaper (Moscow Mitch) was just as bad. How many bills were stacked in his office for the crime of being put forward by Democratic legislators? How many people did the little shitweasel threaten on behalf of Hair Furor?
In fact Trumps WH Counsel was anticipating at any moment that evening FBI officials to arrest him. So they had to plead with him to make that " I love you , go home " video. The WH Counsel testified under oath to that. Then of course SCOTUS obstructed Justice with delays.
The treasonous fascist leaders who participated in coup attempt certainly had Trump's back.
What Americans didn't seem to notice or care was that Biden, Harris & ALL Dem leadership sat silent & threw respect at the traitor leaders. Biden hired Garland to ensure traitors could keep leading.
Shame on Biden not replacing Merrick Garland when it became apparent he was a failure.
You can't point to the good Joe Biden did as any kind of defense since Trump is undoing it.
Garland drug his feet for 18 months before even appointing the special prosecutor (Jack Smith)
A real prosecuting attorney like Eric Holder as AG would have had federal Marshalls raiding mar a lago one day 1 after his confirmation, and hauling Trump out in chains.
Former AG Garland will have a book out (I bet) by early next year..and /or announcing he will be working within the Trump admin. He did absolutely NADA🙄
McConnell caved after saying Trump was morally and practically responsible. Voted to impeach, but not removed. Followed the wishy-washy advice from Sen. Graham, "...it'll tear our country apart."
Now, we're being torn apart by a reincarnated Trump who learned from his mistakes the first time.
‼️ Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ADMITS -CORPORATIONS “ATE TRUMP’S TARRIFS IN 2017, 2018, 2019” since they got trillions in tax cuts which increased deficit. Trump’s tariffs depleted our budget by trillions so Biden ‘s only choice to pay for Trump’s COVID mess was tariffs
"Well, he's done a lot of horrible things that would get anyone else decades in prison... but he's running for president! It would be SO MEAN to deny him that!"
I have repeatedly said that the fault of our current state of Trump comes down to two people:
Mitch McConnell- for being a coward to convict Trump during J6 impeachment trial.
Merrick Garland- for being a coward in prosecuting Trump.
These two people had the duty to protect the country, they didn’t.
Bill Barr & Jefferson Sessions should be jailed for Obstruction! If not for them Trump would have been removed after the Mueller Report. Now it's standard operating procedure to put Trumptoadies in these positions. Remember after WWII in Nuremberg, "I was following orders" wasn't a defense.
This is either rhetoric or you are dreadfully misinformed about the state of America.
America didn't become a Banana Republic on January 6, it's been getting there since least Ronnie Raygun. The rot in America isn't merely the politicians it's the population in general.
"The government you elect is the government you deserve." Thomas Jefferson.
In Jefferson's time, citizenship involved more than voting once every 4 years. Today, 11 million registered voters didn't vote. 26% of eligible voters haven't registered.
The fact your USA IS WHERE IT’S AT has people facing the fact. The same lawless fascists have always been the sworn enemies of accountable governance won’t stop until THE PEOPLE do what they always done rise up and vote them out to save democracy.

We have too many Americans that love this though. It’s not like the majority of Americans are fed up and have had enough. We have too many that not only don’t care, but they support everything these fascists are doing. What’s the solution there?
unfortunately both parties are all in on it. He should've never been on ballot 2nd go around. Ever notice that the same issues from the time of JFK until now are the same. Civil rights, education, abortion rights, voting rights. How come they don't change? All same party and they are enjoying it
Trump tapped into a group of paranoid people with collective mental illness, which is expressed in rabid delusions about the Deep State and “commies and gays” destroying Christian culture.
Oh my Gawd…. YES! He showed everyone THEN that he was a monster but his minions ran around wearing tshirts saying he could grab their pussy/inviting him to grab them by the pussy anytime. That is the hell he unleashed. No decency, no empathy, no class… Just pure trash ever since that day.
I know it boggles the mind. I guess some of us took things for granted snd it’s just sickening how so much is being ruined snd all the money that is lost, place in the world. All for what? I think everyday something must be done to stop the nightmare. And here we are!
I hear you. The problem is that he is one of the privileged racist class that is not touched by financial hardship. And he, like the rest, does not care. The grift is in.
Point taken. Lots of blame to go around. The question is, can we agree that we need to do whatever it will take now to save Democracy? And don't get into semantics. We DID have a Democracy, by definition.
We probably have different ways of getting there. We gotta know what happened to prepare for what's to come. They had their chance to put an end to this, what will they do to show us they won't repeat the same mistakes?
Democracy, eh... I guess. At least the appearance of it.
I agree that history is important. But, as for repeating mistakes, I think real engagement is the only thing that will guide "us" forward. Creating coalitions, from local politics on up (think, school boards, county commissions, city councils, etc.). Join or start a Democratic Organization in
your city. (we did here, and I am in DEEP red N. AL!!) Cultivating good quality PROGRESSIVE candidates to run in your city/county/state, or running yourself (even better if you are concerned about not repeating the same mistakes, right? 😁 And then support them, AND WIN!
After reading Liz Cheneys book. And seeing what we are going through now. How in the literal f@ck can she not come out and say I was wrong about Mitch McConnell he is an asshole, I made a mistake when I said “ that I have great respect for him “
He will PUNISH this country for kicking him out of the white house. You can not make a narcissistic psycho at 70, whatever his age is, not a psycho. MARK MY WORDS. This ONLY GETS WORSE. Trump wants war. So he can STEAL EVERYTHING and run to Saudi Arabia and build hotels. End game is LEFT OF IT ALL.
Except there's that immunity and that due process. Plus, only impeachment and conviction by the Senate could have kept him from running again.
Let's not ignore reality.
Yes!! That DEFINITELY should have happened. But no. Instead it was a preview of what was still come.The FELON committing even more egregious acts & crimes AND our elected representatives DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!
Just send harsh letters, have meetings & hearings that do nothing!Just ARREST & REMOVE THEM!
Exactly! Attny General calls the Secret Service and tells them to stand down, then orders the Federal Marshals to take FOTUS into custody for treason. Arraignment with no bail. Simple
And if Garland had followed through in a timely manner instead of cowering in the corner and if RBG had stepped down from the Supreme Court when taken ill, and if McConnell had followed through with his outrage speech about Jan 6 and impeached Trump, we wouldn’t be here would we?
On January 21, 2021
President Biden should have arrested trump for a attempted insurrection.
End of Story.
End of trump.
Inexcusable that the
aforementioned didn’t occur!
Does he know trump was president on Jan 6 so who was going to drag him out of the White House? A stupid statement. If the Senate had found trump guilty after the House impeached him for Jan 6 we wouldn't be here. Blame McConnell and the Republicans who still support that abomination.
You can’t treat terrorists nicely. But the corrupt judiciary certainly didn’t help. F Cannon. F the Supreme Church fascist wing. They created this monster and won’t stop him. Because of their God m’ kingdom delusion- KKKhristian Nationalism.
Biden wasn't president on January 6. The meme on this post said he should have been arrested 'before the sun set on January 6.' The meme doesn't take into consideration that there would have been no one to authorize an arrest on January 6.

Biden and Garland own it
Should have been the nail in the coffin!
But NOOOOOO!!!
Now those motherfuckers have jobs with ICE
Instead, they gave him a free ticket, to rerun and serve with more immunity than any President has ever had, ignoring the Constitution altogether.
They may lack precedent, to shut Trump down, but in the spirit of our Constitution, a majority of justices could grab Trump, by the horns, and put him, in his place.
We the People deserve no less.

I ALWAYS blame Moscow Mitch.
In reality, normal citizens wouldn't give up our relative comfort to go into all out war with each other
Militias might have caused some trouble but there aren't enough to make up one side of a war and stand a chance at winning
Garland wasn't sworn in until March 11, 2021 and he started investigating trump within days.
It's all documented in Smith's report.
And- https://newrepublic.com/article/190248/merrick-garland-trump-prosecution-delays
Unfortunately Biden's dementia WAS more advanced than Trump's.
He just had so much higher intellect that he had farther to fall!
Both parties were aware of the problems with their respective candidates Both could and should have nominated different candidates!
WE THE PEOPLE have a responsibility to protect our democracy.
1/3 didn’t vote.
Now, those folks are pointing at the MINORITY Dems and saying it’s their fault instead of taking responsibility for their own failure.
The DNC message was spot on. Kamala predicted all of this.
Worst AG ever, in terms of consequences.
What Americans didn't seem to notice or care was that Biden, Harris & ALL Dem leadership sat silent & threw respect at the traitor leaders. Biden hired Garland to ensure traitors could keep leading.

He sided with Putin because he thought that was better than letting the people of America have affordable health care.

What would George Washington think about Jan 6 ?
Good men suffered at Valley Forge. Enduring unimaginable hardship so we could have a free country.
What would they think about all of this?
"Well, he's done a lot of horrible things that would get anyone else decades in prison... but he's running for president! It would be SO MEAN to deny him that!"
Fucking corrupt country infest of GOP !!!!
Mitch McConnell- for being a coward to convict Trump during J6 impeachment trial.
Merrick Garland- for being a coward in prosecuting Trump.
These two people had the duty to protect the country, they didn’t.

Once he was allowed back into that White House, it was game over America.
We all saw that. 🌎

As an aside, I love Don Winslow's books.
You can't expect to evolve if people won't look at themselves as being part of the problem.
The whole point of voting for democrats was to hold Trump to account, they had him dead to rights.
It's not only the GOP that's at fault, please don't be like Trumpers...
We probably have different ways of getting there. We gotta know what happened to prepare for what's to come. They had their chance to put an end to this, what will they do to show us they won't repeat the same mistakes?
Democracy, eh... I guess. At least the appearance of it.
But all we had were excuses for 3+ years.
That was the whole point, right? To hold Trump to account?
Let's not ignore reality.
We still have the ignorant brainwashed Left crying for another Impeachment that protects the criminal in office!
Thank you!!!
Just send harsh letters, have meetings & hearings that do nothing!Just ARREST & REMOVE THEM!
RIP USofA!!!

Inexcusable that the

They tried to do everything else except for the 1 thing that would have ended this, that would have kept all of Biden's accomplishments in place.
They failed to jail Trump, they failed totally.

so tired of "shoulda"
I’ll never forgive that man for that specific act.
