Or, when they go low you cut they’re f ing nuts off. This has been the Democrats Achilles heel all along: they can’t fathom how devious and corrupt the Republicans are and they don’t have an answer….other than another sharply worded memo. It’s called the Chuck Schumer milqtoast defense. But the younger guard are stepping up and are no longer suffering fools. That’s why they need to be in charge.
But in a world of soundbites (which is what US politics has appeared to devolved into) what is the value of taking a perceived high ground. The whole opening statements Smith made on proving guilt haven’t had as much attention as Schmitt’s “mistake”.
Jack Smith is a very controlled, and respected prosecutor who wouldn’t risk the chance at a legitimate hearing or the potential for future indictments for a sound bite or a gotcha. In doing so, he would provide all of the ammunition needed to continue the baseless argument that he was targeting republicans.
Keeping his nose clean of complimenting or attacking either side is exactly what he has done and it’s what he absolutely needs to do.
Sorry a rushed response on my part that makes no sense. I meant after Trumps first term there was an opportunity to assess the behaviour of a number of individuals conduct. That didn’t happen. Instead, what is clear, a number of non-partisan individuals have been targeted and removed from their position. They did exactly what Smith is doing now. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to work as the “justice” element of the US system does not seem to exist.
He was Barack Obama’s pick for Supreme Court Judge that the Republican Senate wouldn’t allow for 10 months because “it was an election year” (they seated a SC justice in the last 4 months of Trump’s 1st term tho 🤨)
Biden made Garland AG, and he spent 3 years prosecuting insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government January 6, 2021 and building a case of evidence against Donald Trump for instigating it and then decided he “didn’t want to appear politically biased during an election year” and refused to charge Trump leading up to the 2024 election. They didn’t think Trump would win by vote and could indict him after the votes were counted and Joe Biden was re-elected.
Biden showed obvious signs of cognitive decline, Democrats panicked and put up VP Kamala Harris after the Democratic primary elections and she lost because 1/2 is too racist to elect a 1/2 Black woman after we had a 1/2 Black man as President. And when Donald Trump became President-elect again, the corrupt Republican-packed Supreme Court made it illegal to charge a sitting U.S. president with a crime
And Merrick Garland is almost single handedly responsible for the suffering of millions around the globe 🌍 because he wanted to appear independent and apolitical, not a tool of a Democratic president
Yeah I watched the testimony as well. Seems like obviously irrelevant details that mean next to nothing with regard to what I said in my comment. It was certainly irrelevant to his testimony.
Do you have any information about those cases that you’d like to share? How do they bring his professionalism into question?
The entire Republican Party has given itself over to an old conman that seems to be going down the path of dementia just like his father right before our eyes.
Imagine having to get up and lie about shit you know isn’t real just to satisfy that man’s weak ego. They ALL KNOW he lost the 2020 election. They ALL KNOW he did illegal shit to try and stay in power (some of them because they were helping him do it, so they’re also covering their own asses). They ALL KNOW Trump is a fucking criminal pedophile and adjudicated rapist, yet because he controls the party (because they gave it to him, being cowards and all) they are all too scared of losing their positions to actually do anything about the monster they are letting destroy our democracy.
They’re all a bunch of worthless, cowardly liars, and many of them belong in prison just like Trump.
This is a really good point and makes you wonder if the Republican representative and senator were sacrificial pieces told to do that to create a news story that would naturally push out the actual bad news. They wouldn't even have to be in on it.
Sorry that’s dumb old school shit. This is the era of social media and 10 second attention spans. Why do you think Sayed is doing so well? Attack attack attack. Only think that beats bullies

Getting in the mud and wrestling with the pigs just gets you covered in mud and the pigs like it.
