2. "Stampede of knuckleheads yelling at ... Merrick Garland",

“Counter to the bleatings of the faux experts” (an aside here to give just one example: Laurence Tribe).

Why is this inflammatory crap allowed to be posted here? It isn’t Rs, Is or greens he’s talking about.

3. Perhaps

He’s tired of hearing people constantly complain the DOJ isn’t doing anything, when we don’t know if that’s true.

He’s pointing out that the DOJ has far more stuff to look through than the Committee.

I would have preferred he didn’t use the word “knuckleheads” but I guess he’s fed up.

There is lot of chatter on Twitter that is pure conjecture and speculation about the DOJ, when we have no idea what is actually going on behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, justice can move very, very slowly.

6. Well, fuck him. He's got absolutely nothing to be fed up about. People venting, worrying or

complaining about apparent DOJ inaction on something that threatens the existence of our nation as we know it has virtually no impact on him or anyone else who doesn't share those concerns. There is absolutely nothing wrong with anyone expressing their concerns about what DOJ is or isn't doing. Calling those people knuckleheads and bleaters is pompous bullshit -- from him or anyone else.

9. So, your issue is ad hominem comments and your first is to say "fuck him?"

Gotcha.

4. Do you honestly believe those more in the know than the rest of us have no right to be frustrated at

the constant drumbeat from those making assumptions? I'm not uninformed, but I likewise have no inside track. Some may. It falls to the reader to conclude who is full of shit and who might actually be providing some reasonable, if informed speculation.

Honestly, I am so over some of the specious alerts to anyone posing a counter opinion. I get the frustration, but this is where we are right now.

7. Yes. Especially using ad hominems.

8. Right because you and everyone here never does so...

Not directed at each other in this context, but at the defense of policies or conjecture not proven or which make no sense.

Right. The whole point of being here is to discuss our disagreements--not to silence them as you appear to want to do with the OP.

5. Because it's completely accurate, even if it hurts some feelings.

10. Good to know someone (eg Eric Garland) still has some optimism. TY for the post, FelineOverlord.
