Sucks for Biden, but I will never forgive him for not firing Garland & making damn sure pedo Trump died in a prison cell.
I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I suspect that the Democrats intentionally pressured to delay those prosecutions with the following idea, "If we wait until the last minute, then these prosecutions of crimes, which we 100% know Trump is guilty of, will torpedo Trump's presidential chances, and the Republicans won't have any time to boost a different candidate."
I think they didn't expect that the most slam-dunk case, the classified files case, would be pulled by one of the most outlandishly corrupt pro-Trump judges we've ever seen, Aileen Cannon.
I don't care why they did it. It was either the wrong call or an unforced error. One that we are paying for.
Either that, or they thought letting Trump run again would make their candidate a shoe in, so they wouldn't have to try at all and could run a "Status Quo, everything is fine so nothing is going to change" candidate.
Either way they put their own desires for power above law and order.
I sincerely disagree with this. I think Merrick Garland genuinely viewed his role and himself as "separate" from or "above" politics and totally disregarded the threat Trump because of that. This is honestly more in line with previous DOJs as far as political impartiality, however he was not what we needed in that moment.
Know what else would do that? A deep dark military prison cell he's never allowed out of, or a firing squad.
I will never forgive him for the Gaza Genocide
I was under the impression that it was Israel invading Gaza.
And which country is
the lapdog of? Which country could have ended the genocide with a single phone call? (Not a defense of Reagan btw, he was a Zionist neoliberal demon even with this one action, and the world is a better place without him)
From an outsider, the US has always looked like the lapdog tbh. Not that I disagree that Biden (and every other president before and after him) should have been telling Israel to fuck off.
I mean...
is way bigger, way richer, and way more powerful than 
, all by a country mile. And 
can't survive economically or strategically without 
aid.
Like I do get where your view comes from, especially with Trump basically giving Netanyahu whatever he wants and Biden having done the same thing except for going to war with Iran.
Actually, even if the dominance relationship was reversed, i.e. even if
did control 
, this would not change the fact that 
sent aid and weapons to 
all throughout the Gaza genocide. So while I do think it is important to clarify the dominance hierarchy between 
and 
for other reasons (e.g. in pursuit of a coherent analysis of 
as a vassal state of 
, although sometimes a belligerent vassal), here we can agree to disagree about the direction of the dominance relation and mutually conclude based on the facts that 
, and in particular its figureheads Trump and Biden, are demonic genocidal entities which are deeply responsible for the Gaza genocide.
What in the short attention span is this tik tok senior citizen format you're using and what condition causes it?
I mean usually I don't use the emojis that much, but I had to use the words AmeriKKKa (
)
and Pi$$rael (
) a few times, and I just find and replace every instance with its burning flag. I refuse to give these settler-colonial projects even the minimal dignity of spelling their names correctly.
If Netanyahu just says nope to Trump's peace plan, why would he say yes to Biden's?
And Reagan didn't achieve shit - Israel carried on building in the occupied territories regardless, and they only abandoned their war in Lebanon because it was going badly. Reagan did telephone the Israeli prime minister but the Israeli cabinet had already voted to stop the campaign that day, but of course Reagan wanted to take credit for that and announced how stern he was on the phone and the American news outlets of course delighted in fluff pieces praising the president for stopping the war. But that's all it was. Fluff.
So, no, your "American president can stop Israeli wars with one phone call" is BS,
America supplied the weapons to do the genocide. If America stops supplying the weapons, no more genocide. Are you 12?
Didn't Reagan give weapons and a Bible to the Iranian theocracy?
I know you guys also literally trained and supplied the group that would become Al Qaeda
You do?
Yeah.. Do you not? Not a big history fan, I take it?
Edit: apologies if not American, lol.
Thank you.

😁 🙂
Du hast Mich, lol
Also I think your link may be broken!
Username does not check out.
I think you have oversimplified somewhat.
You don't think Israel has a teensy bit put by for a rainy day? I do. You don't think Israel has a domestic arms industry? I think they export a great deal. You don't think there are other suppliers than the USA willing to sell arms to an aggressor? I do. You don't think electing trump is the worst thing America could have done for the people of Gaza? I do.
👍
With usa full support
As much as I personally would have liked it, I cannot support making the justice department nakedly partisan/political. It's horrifying that trump has tried to do so and I'm relieved the guardrails are still (basically) holding.
It's hard to be the good side. Like how the movie villain gets to throw babies for the hero to rescue (God, Hard Boiled is so good) but we don't win by becoming the bad guys ourselves.
Failing to prosecute a known criminal out of a fear of appearing nakedly partisan/political is, as it turns out, as bad as corrupting the justice dept to make it nakedly partisan/political.
Biden should have had an AG who went after criminals regardless of the political consequences.
If trump went to jail, it would mean every alive presidents could be persecuted including Biden do it will never happen
Firing the AG for not prosecuting the cases you want prosecuted, IS nakedly political.
The DOJ's independence is one of the strongest guardrails protecting American democracy and why so many decent people have resigned rather than submit.
Look at trials in Russia (about which there are some amazing albeit depressing documentaries) to see where a coopted justice department ends up.
Well, your so called guardrails were never anything more than a gentleman's agreement, that much is plainly obvious.
The simple fact is Garland's DoJ completely failed to provide timely justice for the citizens of the USA. Full fucking stop.
Those same guardrails have repeatedly stopped trump this term.
Just because things didn't happen as you wish they did does not mean they failed, full fucking stop.
Incorrect. The Judicial branch has stopped Trump repeatedly. Furthermore, I was talking about the DoJ's failure regarding the whole speedy trail thing we are supposed to have in this country. You can stop putting words in my mouth. We don't need your strawman arguments here.
FYI, the Executive Branch & Judicial branch are separate.
The current DoJ has attempted every single illegal thing Trump has requested.
Please learn how the separation of powers works in the USA.
Did you mean to respond to someone else? What words were put in your mouth?
And you might note the thousands who have resigned from the DOJ, leaving mostly incompetent goofs behind who cannot secure convictions. (Because, yup, they respected the DoJ's independence. In other words, one of those guardrails working.)
What a silly thing to say.
Lawyers quitting aren't a guard rail at all. Lawyers quit because the guardrails aren't working.
Lol.
Yes, losing half your workforce, mostly the best and brightest, is no impediment at all...
What a silly Billy.
Agreed. The problem was the appointment.
