CatDemocrats keep helping Trump confirm his abysmal nominees.
someguy3“They didn’t do tricks to delay” is now turned into “helping”. JFC is this what they’re down to?
Actually yeah. They need to do everything they can to keep these fascists from enacting their agenda. The right did it to Obama when he tried to get Merrick Garland on the supreme court. The Dems should do the same thing.
Fuck Merrick Garland he was Republican challenge that they thought Obama won’t dare to nominate. When he did they still blocked him.
And then Biden, for some god awful reason, picked him as AG to slow walk any judicial proceedings against the felon Trump.
Yeah, he selected him to make DOJ impartial, except it doesn’t look like anyone cared.
Yeah, he selected him to make DOJ appear impartial, except it doesn’t look like anyone cared.
And the reality is, not only did no one care, it actually made the department partial to not prosecuting Trump for his many, many crimes, because according to these moronic, selfish, short-sighted, anti-American Republicans, it’s not a crime when the president does it. Nixon toooootally should have finished his term without resigning, I’m sure no one would have convicted him :))))
Typical brain-dead maneuver from establishment Dems.
Biden hired him to slow walk the trump investigations so he could run as second worst again in 2024.
lennybirdBullshit. He didn’t delay jack shit.
Didn’t he wait until 2023 or at least until mid 2022 before he started anything?
- He walks into his office late January, 2021.
- They immediately begin what is literally the largest criminal investigation and prosecution in the DOJ’s history, going after Jan 6th insurrectionists.
- They continue getting confessions, plea deals, and building a bottom-up investigation that builds corroborating evidence
These under the constraints of:
- Federal judges including SCOTUS stacked with Trump-appointed corrupt judges.
- Garland going up against an organized crime syndicate with an entire party and propaganda apparatus and effectively unlimited money to put up in defense.
- A jury pool almost impossible to be untainted while Defense need only convince 1 idiot on the jury.
- Garland hands off to Jack Smith literally the day after Trump formally files to run for President again (again, to avoid technicalities on conflict of interest).
It seems very obvious to me that this was a classic bottom-up case you see similar to RICO cases in white collar or organized crime syndicates. Garland had to ensure his case was extremely tight given the nature of going after a former President and the courts.
Let’s instead blame:
- The courts who were ones proven to actually obstruct.
- The voters who many saw what happened and still chose to sit out or not vote.
I’d rather he have done it right and not get a verdict than rush it and Trump gets vindicated by a technicality or a Not Guilty.
Not-delaying is helping
LupusBlackfurDems who are voting to confirm are every bit as complicit as the MAGAts who are falling in line to suck vote to confirm.
Are you surprised that people are upset that democratic leadership is once again showing themselves to be completely spineless in the face of rising fascism?
Why are people like you so hellbound to defend any criticism of the party? No one here is saying Democrats are worse than Republicans, they’re just not happy with how obsessed they are with decorum when their opponents are actively trying to force a constitutional crisis.
I voted for Kamala Harris, I’m also exceedingly pissed off at Democrats for decades of thirdway politics, and taking any chance to roll over in the face of opposition.
If we don’t criticize our own party then we’re never going to change, that’s not what the progressive party should be clinging on too. We obviously need to shake up the leadership of our own party or were going to continue seceding control over to fascist.
Not spineless; willingly complicit
Nice cope
If not voting counts as voting, then not delaying counts as helping.
I used to think words meant something too, but it’s clear nobody believes that in the U.S. anymore.
“Delaying” correctly implies that the outcome is inevitable, while not voting is absolutely something that helped Trump win, in the sense that many people who had the power to affect the outcome, and thus keep Trump from taking power, failed to do so. If you didn’t vote, it’s either because you were either happy or ambivalent about Trump winning.
Personally, I’m much more mad at the idiot non-voters who made Trump and Republican control an inevitability than I am at just about anyone else at this point. As the government stands today, just about anything that the Democrats can do is merely symbolic, as the Republicans have all of the power over the executive, legislative, and judicial branches for at least 2-4 years (assuming we even have elections in the future).
Always blame the voters and never fight.
Republicans can always block shit when Democrats have a majority. Funny how it never fucking works the other way around.
They’ve also been voting yes to confirm some of them. So yeah they continue to be utterly useless
I’m not interested in torching democrats either, but their reliance on the patience of progressives has to come back and bite them somehow. We are all watching the right move with lightning speed and wondering why the Democratic party ever convinced us the same couldn’t be done for progressive policy.
convinced us the same couldn’t be done for progressive policy.
Burn the fucking ICE down then. Or simply prosecute Trump and put him in jail.
It’s over either way. While there may be a way out of this, it’s not going to be with the current dems, and very likely not a peaceful way either.
As much as the current situation is fucked, a normal country (under Dems) needs some level of ICE. So no they can’t burn down ICE. And Dems are not the judicial branch. Dems do not decide who goes to prison, the judicial branch does that. This is the same old: Dems are beholden to the truth and rules, and GOP isn’t.

Yes, we didn’t have a normal country prior to March 2003, when ICE was founded.
See I could discuss immigration and government approaches to it over the decades but something tells me you’re not discussing in good faith.

Yes, I’m disagreeing with you and called out your blatant lie about cannabis, so you’re just going to scream bad faith.
That is the conundrum. Stake your claim in norms and legality while your opponent steamrolls everything to the delight of a generation of people who’ve lost all patience and you’ll always lose. How do you fight that?
He doesn’t want to. He wants everyone to be happy when no one fights it.
Cannabis is still schedule I. Democrats do tricks to delay when they want to.
Hello ensign crab! Where did I say in this comment anything about Cannabis? lol. But to address what you brought up, it’s working its way through the courts last I heard. Which, drumroll please, is not the Dems lol.

When you said that Democrats don’t do tricks to delay. Biden did just that when he waited out the clock on cannabis rescheduling.

A new lie. Neat.
See I could pull up articles but I think you just want to waste my time with a slapfight.
Since fucking when have you not wanted to slapfight? You just know you’re lying…
Reported and moving on.

queermunist she/herYou can’t be neutral on a moving train. If they aren’t even delaying the fascist they’re helping.
