1. Love this Joe, now as long as it is UNDERSTOOD rump and his criminal friends will be indicted

all of them.

[Demsrule86]

2. I think they will and Trump will spend the rest of his miserable life in court in Florida and New

York too.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. I'm not kidding, they must all be indicted

and NO working with cons, not EVER unless you are working with someone who is on record as not being a piece of shit.

[Demsrule86]

10. The cons are all pieces of shit...but we need to do some stuff...so let's hope we can get them

to do what we need.

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. OH my, no, never. Sure a few of them but the party as a whole is not who they were

these are small minded, ignorant, uneducated racist filth who believe god (doesnt exist) is on their side.

NOTHING will be achieved EVER with the help of more than a handful of them.

Of that I am certain.

[pangaia]

18. NO-- get rid of them.. all of them.......

[Demsrule86]

55. How exactly?

[bitterross]

11. NO MORE BS ABOUT NOT LOOKING BACK!

They MUST be prosecuted. I don't want to hear any shit about not prosecuting for the good of the country and unity. NONE!

[still_one]

23. You do realize that indictments are not the Job of Congress, and impeachment isn't an indictment

[Hekate]

45. You seem to be under the misapprehension that the POTUS can imprison whom he will...

I'm not picking on you, Eliot. Your posts have been popping up all over the place today, all saying the same thing. We get it. We all hate this loathsome orange turd and his enablers.

BUT if it was that easy for the POTUS to send someone to prison, Hillary Clinton would be in a Super-Max in solitary, just because she gets on the GOP's nerves. You see how that works?

I was serious earlier today when I specified that this all has to work its way through the courts. Else we are no better than they.

[Cha]

62. Excellent analogy about

our dear Hillary, Hekate.. Mahalo!

[Cha]

110. omg!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. A president has no control over who is prosecuted,

nor should he. That's what Trump wants to do - prosecute his political adversaries. Any crimes committed by Trump and his minions should be prosecuted if there is sufficient evidence to take to a grand jury, but that decision should be left to a (new, improved) Justice Department where Barr is not the AG, but the president should stay out of it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. Who a president appoints to Justice has everything to do with it.

I am CERTAIN 2008 conversations were had by our people in the WH and Justice NOT to go after the criminal Bush WH

All that looking forward not backwards stuff that in some ways led to this.

No bigger Obama supporter on this site, worked in both of his campaigns, but facts are facts.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. That's a different question. I'm sure Biden (or any Dem) would appoint an attorney general

who would not prevent the prosecution of anyone with respect to whom there is sufficient evidence of a crime to take to a grand jury. But no ethical president would instruct his AG to prosecute or not prosecute specific people.

[SCVDem]

19. I'm looking at

AG Kamala Harris.

I think that it would be fun to watch!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Or Amy Klobuchar.

She was the chief prosecutor for the county where I live, and she was very good at it.

Also, if she got a cabinet position her Senate seat would open up and the governor could appoint Al Franken to fill it. That's my dream, anyhow.

[SCVDem]

30. I won't argue with that.

Especially putting Al back!

[pazzyanne]

57. That is my dream also!

If Amy does not become President or Vice President, she would make a great AG, and putting Al back in the Senate would right a horrific wrong!

[wiley]

77. Interesting

That would be cool with me,

[Bayard]

72. Thinking the same

But I don't think we can afford to lose even one senate seat. Another reason I wasn't keen on senators running for president.

[GulfCoast66]

50. I agree facts are facts.

But your certainty about supposed conversations in 2008 are not facts I have ever seen validated.

Speculated about many times. Never validated.

If we elect a democrat in 2020 they will see all the records of this administration. There may be reasons to bring charges. May not. A president has lots of power to do shitty things and still be within the law. If not common decency.

Now things he has done in his business dealings? That’s his real fear. God knows how many laws he has broken? I just hope some of them are state laws. I have no doubt he will pardon himself and everyone associated with him as one of his last acts as president. Whether or not a self pardon makes it past Supreme Court review is in doubt. But with this court?

[SCVDem]

79. When we get back in power

I want a one year moratorium on "Nice"!

Fuck them! We need to go full McGarrett!

Book 'em Danno!

[Demsrule86]

12. Biden needs to fire Barr on day one...and Barr needs to be disbarred in my opinion.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. I'm sure Barr will be sacked no later than January 21, 2021.

Whether he is disbarred is up to the D.C. Board on Professional Responsibility.

[Demsrule86]

88. I know...he should be disbarred. The entire Mueller report needs to be released and the shit he has

done needs to be investigated by the FBI...I have no doubt that Barr obstructed justice.

[GulfCoast66]

51. If a democrat wins I look for Barr to resign before a democrat is sworn in.

And a presidential pardon before trump leaves office.

[Demsrule86]

56. I think that is true.

[Hekate]

53. OMG. As a member of Trump's Cabinet, AG Barr will be gone the same day the new POTUS is sworn in

Unless Trump fires him first.

[garybeck]

78. I kinda wonder..... if any Dem wins

will it be time to "move on" or will it be time to step up the investigations that Barr ended ?

[Demsrule86]

87. You have to move on to some degree...we have important issues to address.

[Demsrule86]

89. What a happy day that will be.

[Bayard]

73. They will need time to fumigate his office

And do cleansing rituals.

[Demsrule86]

86. Burn sage maybe? The man is demonic if anyone is.

[Cha]

107. Yeah.. the Buck Stops With Barr

on Epstein.

[still_one]

26. Thank-you. I can't believe that some do not seem to understand what an indictment entails

[NewJeffCT]

83. A president should not have control

but, you don't think Billy Barr got the job by telling Trump that he'll prosecute whoever Trump wants.

[Cha]

22. Agree!

And not just because I've been saying the same thing. He regurgitated words with no thoughts as to what he was saying.

8. Yes, it was brilliant that Biden

called out trump on his mouthing those word that had no meaning for him!

Mahalo, Siwsan

hi Cha, the polls still have him at the top and he keeps getting better.

47. Hi CatMor..

I'm so happy with Biden and his taking it to trump like this!

From before his Launch Vid to now.. and he won't stop until he's gone.. even if Biden doesn't win the Nom.

40. Joe's handling of Trump until G.E. 2020 will be a thing of beauty.

The Trumpistas at Fox, and the GOP apologists will be totally demoralized.

[Thunderbeast]

82. It was a powerful speech...but

If you are a boomer, it brought tears to your eyes.

We asked a pair of pretty bright 40 year olds: "Who was George Wallace?"

Had only a vague idea that he was some kind of politician.

Biden's signature line (more like George Wallace than George Washington) had no meaning.

As smart and capable as Biden is, the narrative MUST be resonant for people under 60 if we are going to get voters to the polls. Older white men will have a difficult, but not impossible challenge.

I loved Biden's speech. It hit many chords that resonate with my generation. We need to broaden the message's appeal to a generation that was not alive in the 60s.

90. Joe Biden reminded all of us of what a presidential president would sound like

Link to tweet

In a fiery and blunt speech slamming the tenor, tone and words of President Trump as the nation reels from white nationalist domestic terrorism, former vice president Joe Biden reminded all of us of what a presidential president sounds like. His words were stirring. His delivery was passionate. And they were befitting a man who kicked off his campaign with a video decrying Trump’s shameful response to Charlottesville....

Sure, some of that authority has to do with Biden having served side-by-side with the still-popular former president Barack Obama. His voice providing comfort for those of us who long for the days when a grown-up was president of the United States, acted accordingly and wielded the bully pulpit of the Oval Office with moral authority. Instead, in Trump, we have a bully with a pulpit and no moral compass.

“Days before the mid-terms,” Biden said of Trump, “he fomented fears of a caravan heading to the United States, creating hysteria. saying ‘look at what is marching up, that is an invasion…An invasion’.” The Democratic front-runner continued through a litany of examples of Trump hurling red meat to his supporters. “At a rally in Florida, when he asked a crowd, ‘How do we stop these people?,’ meaning immigrants, and someone yelled back, ‘Shoot them.’ He smiled,” Biden recounted. And then Biden drew a straight line from Trump’s embrace of white supremacy to the hate-inspired violence we’ve endured.....

Biden wasn’t blind to the shortcomings of our nation and the men who formed it. He talked about them. But he demonstrated that the vision of America was perpetuated by Democratic and Republican presidents alike throughout its history. Ending his speech, Biden slipped off his prepared remarks in an emphatic way. “This is the United States of America! Period! May God protect our troops,” Biden said pounding the podium, ending a speech that everyone knows he believes in his bones.

[Cha]

96. Wow! Thanks, Goth.. exactly

what some of us were saying!

[Gothmog]

100. Biden sounds like a President which is what we need now after that fool trump
