we have an utter fucking nimrod attempting to set himself up as dictator because for 50 years anyone who could have stopped him has dithered and procrastinated, hoping someone else would do it

So Trump saw Dems pathetic response to Jan 6th and concluded basically everyone with 'power' in America was actually a pathetic push over coward and... It turns out he was right.

worst of all were Biden and Merrick Garland, who were expecting the voters to bail them out so they didn't have to clap Trump in irons, and when that didn't happen they said "oke doke, The People have spoken, I will now retire to private life"

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.

I mean… he was literally charged 100 times over and convicted Too bad Dems didn’t go the “secret South American prison to disappear political opponents”route and just needed voters to not make the single fucking stupidest decision in the history of elections.

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…?🤤”

Trump senses this and it's made him a megalomaniac. all the wealthy, elite leaders of powerful institutions are easily bullied chickenshits

Incredible footnote to the Paul Weiss-bends-the-knee debacle: They hired Quinn Emmanuel and geared up to sue the Trump administration, but also had Quinn back-channeling with the White House and decided to surrender instead www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

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

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!

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

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”
