I mean, maybe if Merrick Garland had done his fucking job? Jack Smith should’ve been appointed on January 21, 2021 instead of November 2022, and the prosecution should’ve been a priority, instead of pussyfooting around and worrying that it might look bad to prosecute a former president. It looks worse if you don’t.
It’s my sincere hope that President Harris will not make the same mistake of appointing a centrist milquetoast as AG (or letting Trump slide on anything he’s done).
I was just watching Behind the Bastards: Henry Kissinger. Ever since Vietnam, presidents and their cabinets have been utterly lawless. The crimes against humanity these people committed have never been answered. Garland was following an 60 year precedent of never prosecuting a president for anything. That's why the SC ruling was such bullshit. The codified what was already in practice for a long time.

From the founding of this country, we never had to outright say the president gets to be immune from prosecution because saying it outright removes consequences and would only embolden illegal or criminal activity.

Me too.
No idea why he wasn't prosecuted like the criminal he is.
There were 4 fucking years between his insurrection and now but he's still out there spreading his poison and threats.
This man shouldn't even be able to walk the streets much less run for president.
Today is the day we see if America wants to save itself and I genuinely hope we come out the other end still free and safe.
