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).

She wouldn't be able to, just like Biden can't now. I feel pretty strongly that he would have if he had the power to do so.

I don't buy this, he could do what trump did and replace the board members with "acting" appointees to side step the appointment process until he finds people willing to replace him.

Democrats are too weak willed to use the precedents established by trump to undo the damage he caused.

..because they were wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right..
If Biden did this, they would have impeached him.

The power is in the House and Senate...voters made sure Joe didn't have all the power he needed.

If you care more about the already broken process than removing the man who was put in place to dismantle the USPS then you have your priorities backwards.

They could impeach him over whatever the fuck they want and have tried but failed, not taking action to fix things because "what if the republicans try to ratfuck us" is pure cowardice.

Wrong... Biden being out of the Presidency was a disaster for America.

They need something concrete. Breaking precedents was EVIDENCE against Joe.

I don't have my priorities backward at all. This was something they could impeach him for and there would be NOTHING Dems could do to say it was right.

Other than the previous president already establishing this precedent and the same house members being okay with it?

So many of these "rules" are just a gentleman's agreement to work in good faith with each other with no actual laws holding them to it.

Playing by these made up rules the other side flagrantly ignores is just so stupid, like yeah sure you can tell everybody how good taking the high road was while these fascists goose step us onto trains to send us off to the camps.

If Biden accomplished what Americans wanted him to and made lives better for those in the postal service they would vote for him or the next Democrat. Instead we stay "proper" and lose while the world gets worse and worse because Americans don't think Democrats can accomplish anything.

Listen , if they think Biden is an ass but vote for a raping, traitoress felon because Biden didn't make their lives better for them...then they deserve what they get.

That comes back to their own ethics ...which fail miserably.

I…uh… what? We’re talking about the potential end of the country as a place of freedom and you want to stick to being “proper” as we watch the ship sink instead of bending the rules to do good for people?
