In reply to the discussion: I gotta wonder if Garland is hoping tRump will pass away or be diagnosed with dementia. [View all]Beastly Boy
(13,283 posts)25. Your sarcasm did not address the historical context of denying DOJ your benefit of doubt.
Your post just presumed its existence. It lists certain assumptions and presents them as historical fact. And, since we are talking seriously now, even if you can provide historical data (which I find conspicuously absent in this whole debate but would love to see) that confirm your assumptions , your sarcasm still targets the specifics of Garland's investigation without addressing the ways they are bound to lead to history repeating itself, not even in theory.
This doesn't signify the absence of benefit of doubt on your part, it signifies your certainty of the fallaciousness you presume, without explanation, to exist in each specific instance you are being sarcastic about.

Let's forget for a moment that Nixon received a presidential pardon and was never a target of DOJ.

Seriously, what do the non-cases that don't end up in court prove about justice?

Talking about justice without defining what it means to you is pretty ridiculous on its face.

Unfounded criticism that doesn't end is bashing. It's not democracy. And it's repugnant.
