If a half-million people had died — unnecessarily — while Obama was president, you know how the GOP would react: after all, they held 4+ years of hearings over Benghazi and hounded Clinton for years
How appropriate to call out Trump's murderous rampage. (Also appropriate today: the worldwide COVID-19 death toll surpassed five million. Add at least another 20 percent for the uncounted.)
Yeah, you'd think that of all the many crimes large and small of defendant Donald John Trump (three names for serial killers) mass murder in the hundreds of thousands would be at the top of the list, that huge pile of Trump crap stinking up the Department of Justice.
But, you know ... Merrick Garland. He's plodding along doing his due diligence or whatever. Jaysus! Pick one crime at least and go for it! There are so many to choose from -- reams and reams of prosecutable evidence from the Mueller report and two impeachment trials, for god's sake! And it's been over nine months since that goofy fcker was kicked off his almighty presidential throne magically protecting him, according to the infamous DOJ memo anyway.
So what's the big holdup now? He's just another measly private citizen in the eyes of the law like everyone else who's not POTUS. Why is Donald John Trump not being charged with the crime(s) of the century? Why is this murderous, demented clown -- the titular head of a seditious death cult who is daily and loudly providing the singular battle cry for insurrection based on a lie -- still running around free, living the life of an exiled king in a luxurious palace on the coast, bilking his deluded followers, busily ruining our democracy?
Like Saddam Hussein, this two-bit tyrant should be chased down like the rabid dog that he is, unceremoniously dragged from his gilded rathole, and put on trial to face real justice, preferably by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands.
But no. We're special. Certainly, fascism won't come to America wrapped in a flag and carrying a Bible. Haha, how ridiculous!
I wonder if the Bolsonaro potential prosecution is giving them any ideas. Nobody here went after Bush for what is easily a war crime. Can he travel in Europe these days? He cancelled a 2011 trip, because he was still a wanted man.
They better get on with it. The closer we get to the next election, the more a prosecution of Trump will just look like an election tactic, especially if they use the racism issue.
Speaking of elections, I think the verdict is in. NO MORE RETREADS! Especially from the Clinton era. We need new vibrant faces, people who can avoid offending parents. Perception is reality. CRT isn't being taught, but we sure as hell can listen and talk about what kids are being taught.
I've seen a petition or two calling for trump's prosecution for various crimes but we need a petition and a movement specifically dedicated to these unbelievable (but all too-true) allegations. Who has the ability and time to write and launch one which encompasses these facts and criminal charges? Let's get a few million signatures and deliver it to Merrick Garland.
Considering the Mueller report, two impeachment trials, numerous tell-all books, day-to-day headline news ad nauseam, crowds of contemporaneous firsthand witnesses and enablers (Trump is too lazy to do anything for himself), and years of FBI files up the wazoo, the leader of the world's most powerful and knowledgable justice department no doubt already has more than enough prosecutable evidence readily available at his beck and call to go after the bloated orange grifter this instant if only the will to prosecute can be summoned.
The wimpy way out is to hide behind a commitment to remain nonpolitical. That's all well and good, but it's a political decision NOT to charge Trump with crimes he most certainly committed, is it not? Is he above the law?
In the end, it just takes guts for Merrick Garland to use the DOJ to seriously attempt to jail a criminal former president for the first time in American history, setting an irreversible precedent for the future, which, of course, is precisely why he needs to do it. True justice should not get lost in the minutia of law or noble traditions, especially since time is so short. Republicans are waging an all-out holy war against the truth to cling to power; and should they regain the House in 2022, say goodbye to any formal inquiries into Trump & Company -- their golden calf.
Day of the Dead. 💀
