In reply to the discussion: FULL STOP! We now have enough evidence to put him away 10 times over [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)81. Well, there ya go!
At most, I'm accusing them of insufficient courage and motivation. I do have strong doubts now about the merits of Merrick Garland, but even then, no President, no matter how good, has a crystal ball to foresee how well every appointee will succeed at every job, so I do not see this as a reflection on Biden himself.
That's clearly accusing them of being COWARDS and of being LAZY. That's an accusation of Garland of being a FAILURE and implying that Biden of lacks FORESIGHT or any sort of political acumen.
And, once again, you falsely equate any impatience after more than a year with imagined demands for instant gratification.
No I haven't. And as irrational as it may be, the "demands" being made are real. So are the insults and insinuations and attacks and smears and the continual denigration of the Biden administration.
not anything anyone here is blaming Biden for.
That this deference and timidity about going after powerful and well-connected people is sickeningly common is no reason, however, to find it acceptable
There's a little ambiguity there. Are you insinuating that Garland is timid, or that Biden is timid? Or that that one or the other is incompetent? Regardless, it's complete nonsense. And I have to wonder why anyone would want to willingly engage in doing that type of dirty work for the GOP. This is little more than writing their script for them.
You can't separate reality from your own exaggerations.
Again... not about me. Nice try.
It's not about me either.
All I can say is that I'm not the one who's making (not so) subtle accusations of COWARDICE, LAZINESS, FAILURE and political incompetence of Joe Biden.
You're painting with an awfully broad brush about everyone on DU who expresses impatience with the DoJ when it comes their meanings, motivations, and ability to endure any waiting whatsoever.
No I'm not. I'm just putting things into perspective for everyone who has become addicted to "instant gratification" and who equate that with COWARDICE, LAZINESS, FAILURE and political incompetence... or who cleverly suggest that Biden's DOJ is corrupt and giving preferential treatment to Trump and his cronies.
It's as simple as that. Nothing more, nothing less.

+1, and the incitement anyone would be charged with was him telling the crowd to go to the capital

He can argue that, but without his virulent Senate supporters, it will be met with cold silence.
