If all AOC had to do was rebrand it to the Red White and Blue New Deal to get Republicans on board, I’m going to have an aneurysm.

This nonsensical stunt is the political equivalent of jingling keys in front of a baby.

Trump’s cult can’t coalesce around anyone but him. He’ll be a martyr, but sanity will be restored long enough to get some adults back in the room and rebuild the guardrails of democracy once more.

Guarantee I’d be sabotaging shit on this side to help you guys win. Every sensible American loves our Canadian neighbors and respects their sovereignty.

We live in a country where black men gained the right to vote before any woman did.

Misogyny is the original prejudice.

Yeah, okay? Already addressed that above. I don’t feel like running around in circles with you. You are blocked.

Okay, I edited my original post. I had the timeline slightly off in regards to which events took place and when, since both of those things occurred in 2022.

I consider your overall argument that Trump had been under investigation for January 6th from the very start to be thoroughly refuted at this point. It took two years for them to start - fact. Plenty of concrete evidence to back that claim up. Stop calling it misinformation.

Brother, your source backs up my claim, but hey, here’s another just in case. In the DOJ investigation related to Jan 6th (not the classified documents case), Trump was specifically NOT a target. The scope expanded in 2022 to also include DJT and his inner circle.

Meaning, of course, that for the first two years of Biden’s presidency, they were not actively investigating Trump’s role in inciting the mob that attacked the capitol, or his deliberate inaction when the situation became out of control and capitol police could not stop the mob from breaking into the congressional chambers.

Trump was not a target of the DOJ investigation until 2022, so whatever investigations took place before then did not include Trump as a key suspect in any criminal proceedings.

Again, you are the one who is misinformed.

Not misinformation.

The initial investigation by the FBI/DOJ specifically did not include Trump as a target. This was a purposeful omission, the justice department prioritized identifying and capturing 700 individuals who actually set foot in the capitol.

But as we all know, it’s possible for the justice department to do more than one thing at a time. They could have opened the second investigation into Trump’s involvement immediately, rather than waiting for all of the stooges to get plea deals. They didn’t. Five minutes of Googling could have told you that Merrick Garland did not open an investigation into Trump’s involvement (by appointing Special Council Jack Smith) until three days after Trump announced his intention to run for reelection in 2024. That was on November 18th 2022.

Make all the excuses you like for Garland, but he fucked us big time. The timing of the prosecution was extremely strategic and not coincidental. He waited until he knew that Trump would receive political cover in his reelection bid to start a real, earnest investigation. Republican swine looking out for one another.

Biden should have insisted that the investigation into Trump begin immediately. If he refused, can his ass and bring in someone with some teeth. Trump would be in prison right now if this had all begun in 2021.

What’s an example of Garland deferring to decorum?

Not immediately starting the investigation into what happened on Jan 6th 2021 is unconscionable. The fact that it took him 2 years into Biden’s term to even allow prosecution of the case out of fear that if it was done any sooner it might give the appearance of political retaliation means that Americans were denied timely justice.

Luigi Mangione shot a healthcare CEO in the back of the head and was in court by the end of the week.

Donald Trump committed the most brazen and public act of sedition ever and still walks free to this day, over 4 years later.

If you were to ask the founding fathers what they thought the most serious crimes in a free nation ought to be, they would have said treason, followed by murder. But we sure don’t seem to fucking treat these two crimes with anywhere near the same severity.
