In reply to the discussion: Bashing Garland for the election? Spell out the evidence he supposedly had that he could have used to convict Trump [View all]ecstatic
(35,135 posts)should have been held accountable, swiftly, and damn sure shouldn't be about to be sworn into the White House again. That is a failure on EVERY level.
I'm not sure who you think is responsible for that epic failure or if you even think that it's a failure that someone who tried to overthrow the government is now being given the keys again. For what it's worth, it's not entirely garland's fault. Mcconnell and senate republicans, barr from trump's DOJ, and now voters who believed trump's election lies (in part because trump was not held accountable in a timely fashion) share responsibility.
I promise you, had Obama done the same thing, he would have been in jail without bail. The doj knows how to move quickly when it comes to people of color and anyone who's not a rich white republican male.
The threat that trump poses is real and the person or persons responsible for protecting Americans from the threat did not do their jobs. It's unforgivable. And it's time to stop making excuses for them. They fucked us over completely. If any type of crisis comes to the US under tRump's watch, we're fucked.
