This is one of the best takes yet

It's so bizarre. All indicators are that anybody who would have aggressively opposed him would have tremendous political power. Americans love a fighter and hate rich douchebags, and every time anybody has started to take the gloves off, like Walz, they've immediately skyrocketed in popularity.

Congress has been thoroughly dysfunctional for decades. And, through capricious gerrymandering and the corrosive influence of money, they have insulated themselves from being held accountable by constituents. Now, someone atop the Executive branch has chosen to take advantage.

He's acted like a special birthday boy and everyone just went along with it

The reality is that all those people were actively in on it because they get paid by the same people that support Trump. They just preferred a version that's less overt where they can exploit people's suffering over a long period of time for economic benefit. Deep down, they are on the same side.

Woodie Guthrie literally warned us!

He was almost stopped by his own mediocrity. Without Mark Burnett he’s a huckster with a few name-licensing deals and a money laundering business.

Exactly this.

Should have been shunned into oblivion the minute he kicked that old stroke victim out and was being a slimy ass landlord in the 1980s money.cnn.com/2016/03/28/n...

Utterly true about everyone who could do something always looking away from the nimrod and his path of destruction. It's not too late to confront our nimrod problem.

And then looking back at what the Democrats were doing before my adult life and seeing the same fuckups over and fucking over, making the same fuckup mistakes and learning absolutely nothing as capital accumulated and organized against the interests of their supporters.

The Supreme Courts ruling, cementing his power, played a huge role in where we are right now!

And for 50 years, the people themselves remained complacent, like zombies repeating the same rhetoric, that the system was absolute, that the dual-party illusion was the only way. Never once challenging the structure that enabled their own decline. Canary in the mines chirping away

I still can't fucking believe that guy aimed for the head instead of center mass.

IMO the Four Horsemen of the (current) Apocalypse are Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Garland. Do they have helpers behind them? Of course. Is the GOP evil? Duh. Never forget, never forgive.

I will never understand why they’ve been so useless for so long - I hate to think it all comes down to reliance on big donors whose economic interests demand a more quiescent politics (“bipartisanship!”) as it seems a bit reductive to pin it all on that, but tbh I don’t know what else explains it.

Why does anyone think at this point that voters would even care if he was found guilty on every count and put in prison? MAGA would love it and braindead median voters would be googling the night before “wait is Trump in prison now and is he still a magic business fairy…?🤤”

Cowards

No, Big Law isn’t going to save us, we are on our own. #Resist #MAGA-Is-Evil

One of the biggest risks of drawing nearly all of our elites and leaders from a small group of rich people from the same background and with the same life experiences. Rich kids who see status as their birthright are never fighters. Bullies, yes. But never fighters

AND where the FUCK is Kamala???? Silent. Dead? MIA?

lol

Perfectly summarized. The rage we feel is awful, debilitating, righteous, and yet we cannot let it be the only thing we feel. The GOP town halls are bringing it. I will not stop.

I’m sure the round of applause on Garland’s last day from a bunch of employees who are either already or will be fired is worth it to him for his name being synonymous with milquetoast failure for generations!

Evidently, lots and lots of people care. They seem to buy a whole lot of it and while we try to change that, we have to recognize that fact.

Nobody in their orbit ever asked themselves or anyone else, “What would Trump do in my position?” to keep Trump out of power. Utter failure to recognize the stakes.

He meant himself and his wife, I guess.

Merrick Garland is legitimately so embarrassing

do you really think either of them are an asset publicly now? Maybe now that the party is in disarray but honestly they’re better off keeping away from cameras now

Biden didn't even pull Musk's security clearance

I am so exhausted and disgusted by the duopoly and the apathy. My husband watches David Muir and my blood boils just hearing all the BS when I KNOW that 400 more Palestinians were murdered by Israel and WE ARE IN A COUP but somehow that doesn't make the news.

Conservatives know the one way to make the people think someone is a criminal is to put them prison. I’d like to think this is distasteful to the democrats but i actually think they just find it distasteful to do it to someone at their own “level”

What the f would you have him Do

People wrongly think "nimrod" means stupid person. This mistaken notion started with a cartoon in which Bugs Bunny sarcastically referred to Elmer Fudd as Nimrod. Nimrod is a biblical character. He was a king who was famous for his skill as a hunter. Hence the sarcasm. And now you know.

It’s so infuriating because he himself is a such a weak pathetic bastard, any meaningful pushback would have broken him.

They are bought

Kavanaugh? Dems did NOT shut that bullshit sexual predator down. Now we - #thePEOPLE - have to do what must be done!! Shut this down with any means necessary.

Where's itzkoff with the Simpson reference... Can't somebody else do it?!

Does anyone else feel like being in the US is now like being on the set of “Mama’s Family” as an extra?

terrified of setting the precedent that powerful people who do bad things could be made to face consequences

There were literally like a dozen moments to stop him but Trump got bailed out by Schumer, McConnell, SCOTUS, local courts, Manchin, Garland, the FBI multiple times, and district judges. Why would you stand up to him now given that everyone else had folded to him like wet toilet paper.

I think it's easier to blame the leaders than to accept that "we the people" are also cowards and self serving. The 10%, the small business owners, the people too disconnected to vote, the folks who complain loudly on the internet but don't show up when they need to --- we are all to blame.

Everyone keeps expecting someone else to oppose Trump.

Still cracks me up that the entire reason January 6th happened in the first place was because Trump was afraid if he left office Dems would hold him accountable for all the crimes he committed in his first term

Lotta good their "Legal Precedence" is doing us now.

Including the banks who keep lending him money, bankruptcies or no bankruptcies

Funny, I was going to say just that to you :D

Solid point

These folks legit think an IQ of 85 is a solid B.

You are right...

But there were norms! Norms!

👏👏👏

Sounds like "we can't reveal the names of the Epstein clients because a lot of us are on that list."
