the records of what he was doing secret.

(36 posts)Every day the TFG's attacks on American democracy accelerate. Every day his base of crazies become more and more emboldened. At this point, I'm all for cuffing him and stuffing in a cell at Guantanamo to mitigate the fallout of his lies.
The dots have been connected. Act on it.

(36 posts)Well who'd know, especially given that Merrick Garland seems to be AWOL.

(36 posts)I believe I used "seems". And you know, appearances are everything. That's why trump is who he is....that being a snake in the grass criminal and there's plenty of evidence to support that. Nine months after a bloody insurrection attempt and trump is still free to pollute American airwaves and interwebs with his bombastic lies.... well, things are NOT moving fast enough for my liking. If you're satisfied with the progress, well then good for you. Go have yourself some cake.
Like many I've read here.... I don't have much faith trump will ever be held accountable.
I have zero faith in Garland's DOJ. ZERO
It has become tragically clear that the laws in place for common people do not apply to the wealthy. It needs fixing, and fast.

and vote.
I remember all too well how Obama was shellacked in the midterms here at DU there was a constant stream of whining from people who had not gotten their pony, and I wondered how that translated into the general public, especially given how many Dems seem to need the excitement of a presidential campaign to get motivated.

(18,486 posts)I am so sick of these "if you don't do what we want you to do when we want you to do it, you're gonna lose" threats.
And not just because the notion that Trump and the Republicans are so awful that Democrats must stomp them into the ground immediately, but if they don't these folks will just let Republicans take over, is stupid as hell.
