In America no one is above the law except the president who can operate with immunity and cannot be tried. This is very fair and very healthy.

Dictators always seem to forget that legal immunity just means that accountability comes from a blade rather than a bench. That’s not a good time for anyone.

Why not… Wrap up the case with a quick trial and sentencing?

Merrick Garland is a conservative. He waited 2.5 years to even begin an investigation and only did so after being publicly humiliated by congress who gift-wrapped the fucking evidence for him.

Fuck Merrick Garland. I hope he is Trump’s first victim.

Merrick Garland is a spineless, worthless conservative piece of shit. He was one of the stupidest choices Biden made in his presidency.

Neoliberals need to be ejected from the party. They are not dying off fast enough.
