@wdlindsy@toad.social"The [Jack Smith] report is a sad reminder of the futility of truth in the age of Trump and a subtle, yet still brutal, indictment of the Supreme Court’s unprecedented grant of presidential immunity."

Key take away here? SCOTUS allowed all this failed coup attempt travesty and absolute immunity to happen. Their COUP was bloodless but effective......
If Garland had supported efforts to arrest and indict and prosecute Trump for sedition and insurrection as soon as he became Biden's AG, then we wouldn't be where we are right now.
We don't know that, especially if the DOJ had gone after ALL the insurrectionists at the top, including those protecting them, like Thomas and Alito, who should have been brought up on charges of corruption, anyway.
It's this kind of "but we caaaannnnn't" thinking that got us where we are.
Leaving the Supreme Court out of it, if he'd been tried in a federal court, he might have been convicted. He was, after all, convicted of election interference. And, as I said, if the corruption on the Supreme Courtesans had been rooted out then the Supreme Courtesans wouldn't have been allowed to interfere, either. Instead, all the corruption and lies festered and spread for four years.
Well, then, I guess we're all doomed. Let the Democrats keep on dithering and caving in, and it is what it is, bless your heart.
What we should do is all join the Republican Party. Imagine if one of those fools had to cater to his "base" of former Democrats or be primaried by a former Democrat.
Though leave it to a Democrat, even a former one, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
@KathyLK Yes, that sounds right to me.
@wdlindsy I think Marcy Wheeler's done a pretty good job of refuting the claim that Garland dragged his feet.
But Garland and Smith were up against a system that moves slowly, especially with Trump's own foot-dragging and his enablers on the bench, from Cannon all the way up to Roberts.
And, perhaps most disturbingly of all, an electorate that ultimately decided it was fine with putting him back into office.
