    Why should he? He has only benefitted from this behavior. This is what happens when accountability doesnt exist.

      Rich people have forgotten that law is the peaceful solution. When that no longer works, people tend to take things into their own hands.

      1000%

      The administration showed their hand that they didn’t really care about justice or the rule of law by sitting on their hands on going after Trump for J6 until basically too late, and even then, in a purely performative manner. They did not care about the relationship between a literal attack on our democracy and justice and accountability for the powerful. Look at Brazil. Look at SK. Both orders of magnitude more committed to the project of democracy than the US Democratic party.

      In not going after Trump the very hour after taking power set Trump up for victory by putting the full cynicism of the Democratic party establishment on display. Everything that happened from 2021-2024 is an inevitable result of this weakness.

      Merrick Garland is a fucking removed. Glad to see his true colors instead of jerking off about a scotus that could have been

    Why would he?
    The Supreme Court legalized anything he does as an official act.
    If he issued an executive order that all federal employees must use his hotel chain when travelling he can’t be investigated for Emoluments clause violations, Misappropriation of funds, Federal Procurement Violations, etc as it was an official act which he receives absolute immunity for.

    …he didn’t bother to hide it the first time, either?

    This time he’s just far more brazen about being a vengeance filled asshole.

    What’s he deserve vengeance for anyway? Being a coddled fucking loser his whole stupid fuck life? Yawn.

      For real, that doesn’t sound any different than the first time. I’m certain there’s somewhere that you can point to where he’s more open about it. But he was already pretty open about funneling money to him and his kin.
