Summary

Democrats blame Attorney General Merrick Garland for delaying prosecution of Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol attack, allowing him to win reelection before facing trial.

Critics argue Garland wasted critical time before appointing a special prosecutor in late 2022, enabling Trump to evade accountability due to DOJ policy barring prosecution of sitting presidents.

While Trump faces ongoing civil lawsuits, his return to power threatens pardons for convicted rioters and continued revisionism about the attack.

Despite public disapproval of Trump’s actions, he successfully leveraged misinformation to regain the presidency.

        He could have gone down in history as savior of the Republic. But no. At least he didn’t do anything overtly political regarding his criminal predecessor. I’m sure that feels fucking great.

              Don’t worry, presidential candidate Nancy Pelosi will get G.W. on the campaign trail if the next presidential election isn’t canceled for some reason.

          I always thought it was such a weirdly-cute thing personally. Like, “Let’s go Brandon” kinda feels uplifting (especially with how everyone uses it out of context to show excitement now) and I have no idea how any of it was suppose to be a dig at the guy.

          I think my minds just confused and needing to recenter to the new normal at this point. ITT we have “constitutional citizens” going after Trump and Left-wing Preppers not realizing they’ve joined the community already.
