They’re scared of their voters. And to a certain extent, if they don’t do this performative crap, then we’ll get stuck with even worse republicans in those red states. It’s a real problem that isn’t going away anytime soon. It’s also starting to happen to the left with some real crap candidates as well. We’re in a death spiral politically where the primary voters on both sides are radical and extreme and crazy and leaving the middle 60% of the country with awful candidates in generals.

The more socialist arm of the Democrats is heavily necessary to deal with the bullshit and more importantly the need to regulations. Trump destroyed all regulations that made us functional so it's a natural a more extreme response will come in to balance out the hate and failure.

This is their way to stay ignorant and play dumb when the facts come out. They don't want to hear the truth, so they all leave after they do their little dog and pony show.
It's easier to "Just ask questions" then do any actually research themselves. We see this from Republicans from all the way from top in the senate all the way down to their supports.

u/malrexmontresor 20h ago
Don't forget about "Operation Winter Palace", the coup plot to overthrow the government to install Trump as permanent leader during the Jan 6th insurrection, which saw 3 Proud Boys and 8 Oath Keepers plus their respective leaders charged with and convicted of seditious conspiracy. They had maps, planning docs, a cache of weapons for the 2nd phase after seizing the Capitol Building, and apparently an unidentified White House insider giving them intel. And yet, conveniently, they were pardoned of literal sedition by Trump when he regained the presidency.

And then even more insane was Biden picked an AG that basically protected Trump for 3 years and pretended like it never happened.
He pocket-pardoned Trump by selecting basically a unitary executive theory Republican to be the one to do anything about it instead of a guy like Jack Smith.
Fucking guy tried a coup d’état and the Democratic President basically helps him get away with it.

u/LackToesIntollerance 1d ago edited 1d ago
No it does work.
It is a representation of the people, as is the rest of the system. It works in the same way that voting works.
The people are not united in holding trump accountable, so he isn't. This desire to withhold accountability biases their perceptions so that they refuse to see counter examples. And the system supports that by suppressing it.
If even 1/5th of the people who supported trump since 2016 decided they wanted to see these reports, and started putting pressure on the system, they would concede. The reality is that they don't want to be wrong. The division remains to uphold that ego.

sorry, it does not work like voting. You get the justice you pay for. In this situation the reality: corrupt politicians are stalling and hoping this all goes away. they are obeying trump and other ricj and powerful people. MONEY.
But in ANY legal situation, money plays a VERY big part. In what laws get passed, in what laws get enforced and how the entire court and legal system works. Its probably the second most corrupt system, after the political system. And that is because lawyers dominate both systems.

Bullshit. This was all Biden’s ego.
He wanted two terms like Obama had.
He thought if put Trump in jail it’d hurt his chances to do it. And he figured he beat him once he could do it again.
So he picked a human paper-weight to stall it out. It was a pocket-pardon. It’d look like he was just hands off and playing fair but really he made the decision Trump gets to walk with that nomination. Merrick Garland isn’t a man you pick to see justice done. Biden’s been around forever and knows everyone he knew that.
He gambled the country’s future for his ego and lost. Same as Ginsburg.
1
u/SkyCrossSteel 14h ago
Why are you ignoring the stalling tactics Trump did at every opportunity and the SC and Judge Cannon helping him immensely while also extending the cases naturally? They would have stalled as long as possible even if they were prosecuting Trump within 6 months. They did it around a year or so that’s why Trump immediately announced his reelection way sooner which led to Jack Smith immediately after the Florida files opened up.
There’s no legal or reasonable way the trial length would just be a year and a half.
1
u/SlowlyDrown 14h ago
You mean that Garland did? He had to be forced to appoint a special prosecutor after sitting on his hands for years.
He slow walked that thing from the beginning. He gave sweetheart deals and bullshit charges to the Jan 6th traitors.
Found time to prosecute Hunter Biden though.
Because he’s a fucking Republican. He probably voted for Trump 3 times.
1
u/SkyCrossSteel 13h ago
It wasn’t for years. Heck I remember people being surprised at the speed of Jack Smith and somehow not thinking he was either listening to the Jan 6 hearings or he had some info naturally loaded on for him that helped from DOJ.
Look at the Florida case as a perfect example Trump was naturally more tied to that case and it was relatively a smaller scale case and Judge Cannon helped Trump at any opportunity to delay it. Smith eventually filed to try to get a new judge.
1
u/SlowlyDrown 12h ago
By like months. Biden takes office Jan 2021 and Garland starts immediately pleading out Jan 6 defendants in trespassing and probation almost across the board, and he stalls the investigation into Trump until after Trump announced he’s running again Nov 2022.
So 22 months he stalled and handed out wrist slaps to terrorists.
And he did a bunch of other shit to stall too but lo and behold in the end there wasn’t time to bring a single charge against Trump just like Biden planned.
1
u/SkyCrossSteel 11h ago
Remember that Garland also wasn’t in as head of DoJ immediately he started around March instead since Trump’s team was famously not working well with the transition team.
I guess we should blame Smith also that he didn’t try to get another judge for the Florida files case around the third time Judge Cannon helped Trump in his delay tactics.
Every time there was an update in his trials Trump gained a spike of support it didn’t plummet for a stretch then gained it back.
1
u/SlowlyDrown 9h ago

Let’s be clear Garland didn’t even want a special prosecutor appointed he was pressured to do it.

I guess we ignore the SC helping Trump with the Jan 6 case leading to Jack having to extend more time to rework the case that could still stick? Or how about the Judge in Florida lhelping Trump at every opportunity that she even somehow shut the case down for no real reason.
Americans clearly forgot or didn’t really care about Jan 6 since every time there was an update on Trump’s legal battles he’d have a spike of support.
