I don't think anyone needs to apologize because I strongly believe complaining made a difference
We complained and demanded justice until Bragg, Garland and others were forced to listen. I think they wanted to turn the page and move on. I don't believe this day would be here had we not put continuous pressure on them.
Schiff and others from the January 6th committee were EXTREMELY frustrated with Garland to the point where they were calling him out on national television. He finally did something in appointing the special prosecutor.
Similarly, Bragg had quietly moved on until Pomerantz called him out in his book.
Just my opinion, of course. Those who wish to apologize are free to do so.
Anyway, cheers! 🥂🎊🎈🥳🤗😁

Did you recently get some bad news? 
happening.
But none of that matter now! Instead let's join hands and
LET’S DRINK SOME BEER AND TOAST TRUMP’S INDICTMENT!!!
cnn is reporting more than 30 counts!
and do -- to those we elect to serve us in state and federal governments. Many people TOLD their representatives through various means of communication what they felt needed to be done. That is, they (we) took POSITIVE action.
That's extremely different from NEGATIVE complaining and whining to like personalities on social media of the sort that claims government's all corrupt, Garland's corrupt, Democrats are the same as Republicans, nothing ever changes, the courts are corrupt too, democracy's dead, and we're all slaves to people who want us to die, etc. No doubt some in this nation and abroad are paid to scrape up and weigh some typical truckloads of that product also, then run various formulaic evaluations to evaluate their progress, but their positive is not ours.
No doubt thoughtful statements that have become almost lost in typical threads on this subject were noticed by other DUers grateful for them.
As for the judicial system, let's remember that that is designed to avoid being influenced -- a hugely important matter of principle and function. Anyone who really thinks they somehow succeeded in influencing the DoJ's mission anyway might do better to be dismayed and hope they're wrong.
Every time I presented a fact-based counterargument based on what was going on in the courts and the existence of multiple active grand juries looking into Trumps crimes, I was told I better be prepared to take responsibility and admit I was wrong when Trump was not indicted.
Y’all said he would never be held accountable. You had no facts, only opinions and speculation. You didn't follow or absolutely dismissed court cases and reporting about witnesses testifying to Grand Juries.
You all were unequivocably wrong.
None of this matters now of course now that the first indictment has come down. As you say, Cheers!
I never expected an apology from anyone, even though one was continuously expected of me.
Take care.
Nonetheless the hurry-up posts also ignored news that contradicted their opinions.
Like I say it doesn't matter anymore, so cheers!
It seems that social media's displaying constant proof that our brains can be programmed to reliably produce negative conclusions from any input. And what more helpful environment for that?
I worry about the future with this a result of whole nations of people having to live through scary, troubling times.
But seen that way, being able to take credit for, thus save, some positives before they're restyled by the negativism trap may actually be a good thing.
which seek to destroy any institutions that defend (and are essential to) liberal democracy--such as a free press--to further authoritarian populism.
As a Democrat and a committed liberal, I find the "Age of Populism" to be very threatening to my values and principles.
It is a worldwide threat, and a domestic threat.
Be ever vigilant.
and all aggressively on the attack against our government. I wanted to acknowledge those who want us to do well. who aren't drawn to the destruction populist negativism calls for.
