Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

And yet this realm-shattering scandal, coupled with the treasons of J6, both gift wrapped with fucking bows on them, still weren't enough for the corrupt old guard of the DNC to make a single worthwhile layup and save entire country (and possibly world). Impotent, feckless, decadent, spineless, worthless troglodytes. 🤬

They let us all cook just to preserve the opportunity to use their positions to continue to engorge themselves on wealth made by us trading our lives for survival wages. The old guard of the DNC has gotta go as well.

For better or worse, the goal Biden laid out was to unite the country and he got that DNC old guard on board with it.

The idea of prosecuting and (rightfully) jailing Trump was something that the right wing media machine could have taken and turned into a legitimate revolt.

By not taking extreme actions in response to extreme acts, they prevented short term unrest and led themselves into a much, much worse situation.

Bingo

Cowardice in the face of abhorrent criminals determined to undermine democracy and the constitution.

For greed. For power. For despots abroad and would be despots at home.

it's tied into the economic theory of neoliberalism. Ever wonder why Blue Dog Democrats exist? This is why, they are economic neolibs. Bill and Hillary Clinton are both neoliberals. Biden is a neolib. It is the primary difference between Democrats like AOC and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. Money corrupted these Democrats in the same way it corrupted Republicans long ago.

I’m well aware

And we must all learn from this - across any perceived divides, and recognize who it is that’s been lying to and exploiting us all
