15. I have no goalposts to move, and I don't think Trump is "invincible".

I'm simply pissed at the slow and timid pace of going after Trump -- something that even (finally!) real indictments, if they ever come, won't erase.

I'm always happy to see signs of possible progress like this, but they don't make me hold my breath waiting for real-world consequences to befall Trump and his cronies.

Wasn't speaking of you. Kingofalldems Feb 2023 #19

Perhaps not, but I suspect a lot of the DoJ cynics like me feel the same way Silent3 Feb 2023 #25

The people who say they believe Trump is untouchable sound to me like they mean it 100%. ShazzieB Feb 2023 #50

I agree. Unless you have inside info from DOJ or Sp. Counsel, you know nothing but the news items. Joinfortmill Feb 2023 #59

Yes, great exasperation - frustration enough to turn your hair grey. slightlv Feb 2023 #64
