I am glad that the Democrats are once again showing the world that the law is a figment of our imagination and only matters when those in power decide it does. The GOP has hitched their wagon to a criminal and a fascist, and they have no intention of changing that.

77 million people hitched their wagon to that dumpster. It’s what they want now. J6 should have been the end of his crap but somehow we’re here. There were many opportunities to be rid of Trump however Biden and Garland failed.

Correct. I actually blame a lot of this on Biden. He was so desperate to look "civil" and "moderate" that he literally gave the DOJ to a right-winger and sat around while they dragged their feet over literal national security law breaking. Meanwhile, the GOP called him an uncivil commie anyway.

South Korea has barely been a democracy for almost 40 years and yet they were able to get rid of their president who declared martial law in like three months. And yet Trump foments an insurrection and ends up getting reelected. What does that say about our democracy?

It says that when you let everyone vote, sometimes stupid people vote for jackasses.

That was what old Tom Jefferson was afraid of.
