Sucks for Biden, but I will never forgive him for not firing Garland & making damn sure pedo Trump died in a prison cell.
I will never forgive him for the Gaza Genocide
I was under the impression that it was Israel invading Gaza.
And which country is
the lapdog of? Which country could have ended the genocide with a single phone call? (Not a defense of Reagan btw, he was a Zionist neoliberal demon even with this one action, and the world is a better place without him)
If Netanyahu just says nope to Trump’s peace plan, why would he say yes to Biden’s?
And Reagan didn’t achieve shit - Israel carried on building in the occupied territories regardless, and they only abandoned their war in Lebanon because it was going badly. Reagan did telephone the Israeli prime minister but the Israeli cabinet had already voted to stop the campaign that day, but of course Reagan wanted to take credit for that and announced how stern he was on the phone and the American news outlets of course delighted in fluff pieces praising the president for stopping the war. But that’s all it was. Fluff.
So, no, your “American president can stop Israeli wars with one phone call” is BS,
America supplied the weapons to do the genocide. If America stops supplying the weapons, no more genocide. Are you 12?
Didn’t Reagan give weapons and a Bible to the Iranian theocracy?
I know you guys also literally trained and supplied the group that would become Al Qaeda
You do?
As much as I personally would have liked it, I cannot support making the justice department nakedly partisan/political. It’s horrifying that trump has tried to do so and I’m relieved the guardrails are still (basically) holding.
It’s hard to be the good side. Like how the movie villain gets to throw babies for the hero to rescue (God, Hard Boiled is so good) but we don’t win by becoming the bad guys ourselves.
Failing to prosecute a known criminal out of a fear of appearing nakedly partisan/political is, as it turns out, as bad as corrupting the justice dept to make it nakedly partisan/political.
Biden should have had an AG who went after criminals regardless of the political consequences.
Firing the AG for not prosecuting the cases you want prosecuted, IS nakedly political.
The DOJ’s independence is one of the strongest guardrails protecting American democracy and why so many decent people have resigned rather than submit.
Look at trials in Russia (about which there are some amazing albeit depressing documentaries) to see where a coopted justice department ends up.
Well, your so called guardrails were never anything more than a gentleman’s agreement, that much is plainly obvious.
The simple fact is Garland’s DoJ completely failed to provide timely justice for the citizens of the USA. Full fucking stop.
Those same guardrails have repeatedly stopped trump this term.
Just because things didn’t happen as you wish they did does not mean they failed, full fucking stop.
Incorrect. The Judicial branch has stopped Trump repeatedly. Furthermore, I was talking about the DoJ’s failure regarding the whole speedy trail thing we are supposed to have in this country. You can stop putting words in my mouth. We don’t need your strawman arguments here.
FYI, the Executive Branch & Judicial branch are separate.
The current DoJ has attempted every single illegal thing Trump has requested.
Please learn how the separation of powers works in the USA.
Did you mean to respond to someone else? What words were put in your mouth?
And you might note the thousands who have resigned from the DOJ, leaving mostly incompetent goofs behind who cannot secure convictions. (Because, yup, they respected the DoJ’s independence. In other words, one of those guardrails working.)
What a silly thing to say.
Lawyers quitting aren’t a guard rail at all. Lawyers quit because the guardrails aren’t working.
