Nov 2022

So sick of bending over backwards to try to satisfy the right that Trump investigations are not politically motivated. NOTHING will satisfy them. It feels like running again and again into a brick wall to try to appease the un appeasable. Garland has the facts and law...but, you know,

Another two years, Trump gets re elected and you know the drill.

He's admitted to stealing the documents....what more does one need? Meanwhile, TFG STIILL has more stolen documents.

and unarmed black people still get killed by police for "being black"...police serve as judge, jury and executioner. TFG has the smoking gun in his hand and we can't even get an indictment.

Sorry for the rant. I'm just sick to my stomach at the injustice of it all. The scales of justice totally bend in favor of the rich and powerful.

Garland is "stalling". You have evidence for that? brooklynite Nov 2022 #23
