Attorney General Garland Should Join DU!

[MineralMan]

He should come here and ask us what he needs to be doing and who he needs to charge with what. We have ideas. We'd be happy to share them with him.

I mean, he's not doing anything, so he has plenty of time to listen to us, right?

Without any possible doubt, DU will straighten him out!

[malaise]

1. Hahahahahha

[MineralMan]

11. I'm rofling!

[brer cat]

2. Well done, MM.

[FSogol]

3. He should fix everything. That's what I would do!

[MineralMan]

10. Indeed! Me, too.

I'll be happy to share my ideas with him, for sure.

[Hortensis]

39. "FSogol should run for President!"

[33taw]

4. Who knows, maybe he already has.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

5. LOL

Garland is very busy right now undoing the damage caused by Sessions and Barr.

[Ocelot II]

6. If there are armchair generals why can't there be armchair AGs?

No legal training required, but watching multiple episodes of “Law & Order” is highly recommended.

[MineralMan]

12. Exactly!

[VWolf]

51. You bet. I already did my own research n/t

[Ocelot II]

52. If doing your own research means you *know* that livestock dewormer works better

than covid vaccines even if doctors and scientists say otherwise, it stands to reason that doing your own research means you know that Garland isn't doing his job correctly even if lawyers who actually do law for a living say otherwise, right?

[VWolf]

57. Precisely. What do those so-called "lawyers" know that I don't?

(Aside from constitutional law, precedent, procedure, etc, etc, etc)

[marble falls]

7. Maybe he should, just might quench the fire in some DUers' bellies!

[Beastly Boy]

8. So should Biden

He would learn how to effectively deal with Manchin and Sinema, become convinced beyond any reservation to not compromise one bit on the reconciliation bill under any circumstances, and be made fully aware that, as a general principle, practicing the art of the impossible is the surest way to achieve results.

Oh, and he will certainly learn, much to his surprise, I am sure, that Rand Paul is an asshole.

[Budi]

9. Biden could answer the divisive burning question of what political category he's in.

Moderate?
Centrist?
Liberal?
Progressive?
DEMOCRAT?

🙄

[we can do it]

13. Not only that, how fast he needs to act on those tasks.

[MineralMan]

14. Yesterday, if not sooner.

I mean, never mind the law nor evidence requirements. Just put them all in prison forthwith! Yeah, that's the ticket.

[gab13by13]

15. It's not a joke, ha ha ha.

It isn't just people on DU who wonder when the higher ups in the coup will be held accountable?

As far as president Biden goes, I don't recall anyone here picking on our president, thank god for president Biden. I just wish that Speaker Pelosi could trade places with Chuck Schumer for 1 month. I guess it's also a joke that S1, one time the most important piece of legislation has disappeared from sight, meanwhile gerrymandering marches on, ha ha ha.

Did anyone catch what a judge did yesterday in sentencing an insurrectionist. The judge was upset that our prosecutor had not gone for a more lengthy sentence. The judge stated that he felt a stiffer sentence was required for someone who attacked our democracy. The judge stated that people involved in a coup deserve more than just being locked up at home. That came from a judge. He was bashing our DOJ prosecutors for not demanding stiffer jail time, ha ha ha.

[MineralMan]

16. See? The AG could get advice from you here.

That's just what I'm saying...

[lagomorph777]

19. +1000

It is unconscionable that DOJ prosecutors are letting so many terrorists walk. This needs to be their top priority; stiff sentences for the insurrectionists are necessary for the survival of the nation.

This is not a joke.

[lagomorph777]

17. I agree.

And I'm not kidding.

[MineralMan]

18. I know you're not kidding...

[Tommymac]

20. I'm not sure where AG Garland's head is at these days. The World wonders.

I have an opinion, but I'll keep it where the sun does not shine, for now.

Seriously, he needs to explain to The People what the fuck his long term strategy is in regards to 1/6.

Right now it seems the DOJ is pursuing leniency to the nth degree for these insurrectionists.

WTF, Why???????

[Budi]

22. Yup. If only they'd just read DU!

[Ocelot II]

49. No, he does not need to explain his strategy. Why should he tell TFG exactly what

he plans to do, so TFG can destroy or falsify evidence and intimidate witnesses and do all the other things mob bosses do the avoid prosecution?

[gab13by13]

21. The biggest threat to our democracy, right now,

is from a handful of Democrats who don't understand that our democracy is hanging by a thread.

Texas is making a farce out of redistricting, it will pick up 6 or 7 seats by gerrymandering.

What happened to S1 being our top priority? What good does it do to pass other bills while the GQP is setting the stage for unlimited minority rule?

[Budi]

25. The answers are all right here. If only they'd join us. If only...

[Hortensis]

40. Let's add in the 80 MILLION voters who were apparently

indifferent to both tRump and Biden, or didn't know there was a difference. At least they were mercifully down from 100 MILLION nonvoters in 2016, but!

[NurseJackie]

23. Haaaa!

[MineralMan]

30. Love that GIF!

[CentralMass]

24. There are a few related article links below but the bottom

line seems to be that the law of the land does not apply to (particularly) republican administrations) and those in power. Rather it is typically used to shield them from their illegal deeds and malfeasance. It should come as no suprize if tRump and others face no substantial consequences for their criminal activities. The highest law of the land is on their side.

[Budi]

27. Can someone please send the AG & Democrats & Biden a DU link!

Problems solved.

[Hortensis]

43. Obviously. They need to stop wasting their time and turn to

what can be done. Like agreeing to fat contracts on golf courses.

[Budi]

54. If only they'd read DU...

[Hortensis]

26. "It's simple, Mr. AG. When the truck won't run, you open the hood,

fix the problem, and close the hood. It's just that simple, folks!" (Cackle, cackle!)

That was a few years before DU's time, or I'd suspect Ross Perot might have tried out what became his extremely famous "one-solution-for-all-problems" here and been as excitedly receive by some as he was when he ran for president as an independent reformer and Reform Party reformer.

Perot offered himself a couple decades too early -- the Republican base especially were quick to adoration but few were quite marinated enough yet for The Real Ross Perot. Who knows, in this golden age of adoration for psychopathic megalomaniacs and paranoid nutcases, he might have given tRump some real competition.

[MichaelSoE]

62. Sometimes the car not starting is not so simple to fix

[Hortensis]

65. Lol, thanks, Michael. We'd never seen this. Loved his

attempts to fake out the car. Definitely works better on voters.

[MissMillie]

28. Do we know for sure that he hasn't? :silly:

Don't mind me... feeling goofy today

[MineralMan]

31. Well, if he had, everyone would be in prison by not, no doubt.

[gab13by13]

29. The AG should also watch,

Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid, Chris Hayes, or Rachel, they all get it.

Oh and by the way, Steve Kornacki time is fast approaching, an election year where nothing gets done.

[Ocelot II]

47. Yes, all those media talking heads know ever so much more about complex criminal prosecutions

than some half-ass government bureaucrat who was only ever a federal prosecutor and a federal judge. Just being on tv makes you more knowledgeable than anybody else.

[IronLionZion]

32. He can deputize DUers to go arrest crooked Trump associates

[ananda]

33. LOL

[gab13by13]

34. Well I know one thing our AG is doing,

defending Trump in the defamation law suit being brought by E. Jeanne Carroll. I know, we must defend the office of the presidency when our president defames a person who accused him of rape. Correct me if I'm wrong but defaming someone regarding a rape is not a part of a president's official duties, but then again everything's a big fat joke.

[Ocelot II]

46. The narrow legal issue is whether a president is a government employee

for the purposes of determining whether, under a specific statute, the US can be substituted as a defendant in any lawsuit against the president. They are not defending the defamation action.

[AllaN01Bear]

35. hear. hear.

[Justice matters.]

36. Big donors to Democrats called the DNC to make sure he doesn't.

Ha Ha Ha

[Hortensis]

44. The DNC administers, it doesn't power or steer.

[Budi]

55. K & R that is correct. Thanks for the reminder!

"The DNC administers, it doesn't power or steer."

[Lucky Luciano]

37. I, for one, am not worried.

I’m sure the consequences will be so devastating for republicans and their fascist enablers that this will never happen again.

[CentralMass]

50. Was that sarcasm ?

[pazzyanne]

38. OK guys, after reading the last 3 OPs, I have just 1 two part question:

Where is the party and what are ya'll drinking?

[reACTIONary]

41. I think he's already on-board...

... He doesn't have to use his real name, right?

[MineralMan]

42. Real name? Apparently not.

[secondwind]

45. I believe he IS doing everything that we want him to do... This is no laughing matter......

[bluewater]

48. Hey, it couldn't hurt to hear what a bunch of aging, opinionated Dems are yelling at the clouds.

After all, we are reliable voters.

[JustAnotherGen]

53. Well done sir

[Bettie]

56. No one is permitted to be frustrated

noted.

You should go and snark at the federal judges who have said that the feds are going easy on the insurrectionists too, since you have appointed yourself as arbiter of what people can and can't say.

[MineralMan]

58. Apparently nobody is permitted to laugh, either, right?

I'll make a note of that and store it with all my other notes about things.

[Grasswire2]

59. A certain faction of DU seems to be vastly out of step with citizens of the real world.

It's a kind of culture shock to come here and see some members beating up on rank and file Democrats who dare to urge prompt adjudication of unprecedented crimes of sedition and treason -- urged because justice delayed is justice denied and the clock is ticking and we have many miles to go before we can rest.

Why do some Dems want to beat up on other Dems who are asking questions and seeking progress?

[Grasswire2]

60. Here's a sample of what people are seeing out in the world.

[link:http://

[kentuck]

64. Some people seem to be whistling past the graveyard.

They see no urgency. They see very little threat to our democracy. People are just too impatient. The DOJ has this, y'all. What are you so worried about? Could I have some more pudding, please?

[CentralMass]

63. Well said.

[LanternWaste]

61. You should tell him something like "Enough. That's quite enough!"

'cause a lot of people tend to instruct others to act differently than they do. And then rationalize it as something else...

'natch, man. 'natch.
