I Guess I'm A Doomer But I Will Fight Till I Die

[gab13by13]

I plead guilty to preaching the doom of Merrick Garland taking too long to act. He only acted when the J6 committee shamed him into action.

The people back then, and now, who were bashing me for attacking Garland are the ones who gave rise to Trump 2.0. Garland should have arrested Trump when he knew He had classified documents in his bedroom and shitter, but he waited 11 months for Trump to return them.

Today, I see that Trump is breaking the law, how is DOGE even legal? Trump is ignoring the justice system. Trump has been using Signal and personal phones for government communications since he was re-elected, violating the espionage Act and federal records preservation Act.

Democrats are in the minority I get it, so they need to doing town halls every chance they have because it is up to us the people to save our Democracy.

Get out and protest, push your Reps to act, donate or join Indivisible, donate to Democrats who are fighting, like AOC and Bernie, Murphy, Booker.

What are the Timid 10 doing? The Senators who gave Trump what he wanted, the CR. Non-doomers told me that passing the CR would protect Social Security, it is being gutted right now.
We needed to take a stand and fight and not pass the CR, but once again the non-doomers said to wait, just like they said to wait on Garland.

The best way forward now is town halls, is protesting, is calling our reps, is donating to people who are fighting.

I am a doomer because I report what is happening, the people who say the courts will save us are wrong, who say a hero will emerge to save us are wrong. We must save ourselves. We can’t wait for the next election.

1. Everyone who doesn't see what's going on are gaslighting themselves.

[yellow dahlia]

27. Yes. n/t

[Silent Type]

2. Think Garland and Biden both knew what a chit-show prosecutions would be. Should have concentrated more on

getting votes out than hoping courts would save us, IMO.

[sprinkleeninow]

13. Should've done both concurrently. nt

[Kid Berwyn]

3. Interesting phrase, "Doomer."

Rhymes with "Truther."

And both timed to stop discussion of topics detrimental to the national security state.

[Bev54]

4. Once again, Garland did not wait until after the J6 committee to act

The facts are very clear that was not the case, no matter how many times it is said.

[gab13by13]

6. He waited 11 months

Before the FBI search warrant.

He waited 3 days to search President Biden’s properties.

[Bev54]

22. He did not, the FBI was not asked for their help

Until the spring of 2022. The DOJ started their investigation of the stop the steal prior to Garland being seated and got warrants for devices of the leaders but between lack of cooperation of those people coupled with lack of any sense of urgency by the courts.

We have been over this many times and I am tired of having the same arguments when facts are ignored. But to continue this narrative is misleading at best. Garland had some faults and some of his decisions certainly were questionable but facts are facts.

[Bobstandard]

10. Not this again

[Bobstandard]

11. The post above says it all

[notinkansas]

14. Huh??

The facts are that garland is largely responsible for trump 2.0. Along with mcconnell for choosing not to convict after the second impeachment.

[Bev54]

20. A little research goes a long way

[Hassler]

33. McConnell is responsible, as is the SCROTUS 6

To think they would have let any prosecution to happen, ignores what happened in 2024 when they gave him a lifetime pass to do what he is doing now. As for Turtle, he put Gorsich and Barrett by ignoring 200 years of history. He is the villain you're looking for

[Autumn]

15. Maye you ought to check on that?

For almost a year he sat and did nothing.

[Bev54]

21. He did not and I and others here have provided the facts of

The timeline many times but why let facts get in the way of beliefs

[maxsolomon]

5. The Pollyannas are gaslighting themselves.

D00m3rs are gaslighting themselves.

America will muddle through.

[Torchlight]

7. Sounds like quite the choice.

To be followed then by efficacies of great consequence.

[johnnyplankton]

8. It's nice to be optimistic, but it's not realistic. As Midnight Oil says in their great song...

12. "The powerful

only appear powerful because we are on our knees. Get Up!

[Jack Valentino]

31. "How do we sleep, while our beds are burning?"

of course they've been burning since Reagan was in office...

[et tu]

9. to me doomer rhymes

boomer and boomers know how to protest
krasnov should have been held on house arrest
on joe's first day in office until a court was
convened he is a traitor

[hadEnuf]

16. The illusion of "it can't happen here" is still very prevalent.

"Wait 'til the midterms", "the courts will stop them", "common sense will preval", "the Republicans will find their patriotism" and all of the other wishful phrases are not guaranteed. The possibility of these things working also diminishes every day.

Trump and the GOP do not care about the law whatsoever. Only what might cost them politically. That too will diminish with time.

The only thing that they understand is force or the real threat of force, both politically
and otherwise. Until we can achieve both of those things they will continue to stomp all over our faces and the nation.

[Jack Valentino]

32. Many of us still want to believe that 'democracy' will prevail in this country,

the better people among us, at least.


If that ultimately becomes impossible,
some of us will quite likely move towards the 'bullet' instead of the 'ballot'.

Can't say whether I would do anything more than hide in my basement...
but I am old and tired now.

[FailureToCommunicate]

17. Right on. Fellow 'Boomer Doomer' here.

Treading water for now, but I can plainly see the creek is still rising.

18. My Grand Parents were doomers

when they left Germany in 1936.

[moonscape]

19. And my parents who escaped

from Eastern Europe at the end of WWII. They chose to come to the US vs Switzerland like a couple of their siblings.

These days it’s tough not to wish they had stayed in Western Europe …

[Iggo]

23. Let's wait until we're in the minority so we can complain that there's nothing we can do.

Yep.

That sounds reasonable.

26. Just remember

We're Americans. We don't do fascism. We fight fascism.

And we win.

[Jack Valentino]

28. BILL CLINTON and BARACK OBAMA are ALSO GUILTY!!!!----

their administrations had clear evidence of Republican crimes,
and they BOTH decided that
"it is better to look to the future" than prosecute past crimes....

so they helped set the stage for what we suffer from, now...

[Skittles]

30. yes, THEY DID indeed

you know who WASN'T a fan of Garland? HILLARY CLINTON

[Skittles]

29. PREACH IT

and to hell with anyone who cannot see reality

[Kaleva]

34. Then there will be climate change to deal with

10s of millions, maybe 100s of millions, around the world are expected to die from the direct or indirect effects of climate change.

Regardless of what happens with Trump, the future is very dark.
