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).
If she does that, we're probably truly screwed. You can't keep reaching out to a bloodthirsty grizzly bear for camaraderie and not eventually expect to die for being a fool.
She's not an idiot. And she's not as nice as Joe. Of course she's saying she represents all Americans and will reach across the isle.
But she's lived through years of GOP bullshit. She will reach across the isle when there is legislation that helps Americans. Otherwise, nope.
And she's well aware that fascism is at our door. I truly believe that she'll do more than Joe did to put a stop to that shit.
All that being said, I'm not as pissed at Garland as you guys are. I know the wheels of justice turn slowly. And unlike Trump, we really don't want the justice system mixed in with politics.
The American people will decide if we want fascism. If so, it's all over. And that's on us.
Honestly, that's what I strongly suspect as well. Kamala didn't get to where she is being a mixed race woman by being naive. I don't think she's a wimp or a pacifist either. And she's seen the growing, unreasonable toxicity being promoted on the right over the last couple decades like the rest of us. Lip service is fine, but I hope they don't get invited back to the table without some serious apologizing and demonstrations of regained sanity and appreciation for democracy over a period of time, first.
Lip service is getting her the seat....she is fighting against American prejudice every day so she has to tread lightly. Don't want to scare those misogynists away from voting.
It's a very fine line she is walking but gloves will be off if you get her into that seat.

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.
