      Sure but this is his only move here given what the shit ass Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity.

      Hopefully this orange asshole survives the four years and someone with a moral compass picks the car back up after/if he leaves but there’s not a damn thing he can do now with Trump back in office and he’s just got to wait until he gets indicted himself in political retribution from this orange fascist.

        Hopefully he dies tonight, but the roaches always seem to be long lived…

        Oh cool. The latest in a looooooooooooooooong fucking series of “Oh darn! Our hands our tied! We can’t do this thing we never wanted to do in the first fucking place!” moments.

    Legal justice has become a pipedream. The only options with any real chance of happening are vigilante justice or no justice.

    I want him to get drunk, go on a podcast, and just spill the tea. What does he really think. I mean, I think I know, but I’d love to hear his honest opinion of the games that were played, who dropped the ball, and what he thinks of all the players, outside of what we glean from the filings.

    Good… because this might finally lead US citizens actually consider a civil law system rather than a common law system…

    Aw, who am I kidding? Yanks don’t even use the metric system yet. Smh.

    EDIT: /s for morons who don’t get irony.

        Yeah, common law systems have a tendency to go that route.

            Russian people? Yes. The Duma and the Kremlin? No. Name your terms, dimwit. Context matters. I mean not to you, since you’re a dimwit.

            Also: you didn’t get the original post, did you? Reading comprehension and understanding irony is not your strong suit I guess.

            "bUt RuSsIa HaZ a CiViL lAw SyStEm.’

            Russian laws don’t matter, because they are run by a literal fascist - you moron.

            What was your point again? Mine was violent revolution whereby Trump gets axed and no president could set a legal precedent like that again.

            Did you get that?

              You understand the difference between a civil and common law system is an extremely niche issue that most people engaged in online politics don’t really have an opinion on, right?

              I called you a fascist accelerationist because you were praising the Trump victory for something that doesn’t fucking matter. It’s like if you said some deranged like “elephants are a cooler animal than donkeys.”

                It’s called irony you moron. Perhaps I should have put an /s behind it for your stupid ass.

      He’s dropping them now because its the only move that might revive them when Trump is out. If his old ass lives that long.

      He is making a pragmatic decision that any reasonable lawyer would make.

      DOJ policy is to drop a case like this. If he ignored policy then he would be fired by February before the case would even proceed. So no matter what he does, the case is dead and at least he got to write some words down. Basically the same as the three resonable justices on SCOTUS who have no power to do anything beyond write dissenting opinions that might matter sometime in the future.

      It sucks, but Republicans have completed their coup from within the US government.
