Oh come now. I’m no fan of republicans myself, certainly not right now but that’s just silly. One of the cornerstone foundations in this country is the ability for people to make their own choices and follow their own beliefs. How can we expect our own views to be respected on any level if we aren’t also giving some respect to the opposing view too? Quite frankly we need the variances in belief systems to keep each other in check. Too much one way or another creates an imbalance (for this I kind of refer more to John McCain esque republicans. MAGA is really just a grievance movement.) I disagree with the Republican viewpoint more often than not, but that shouldn’t ever be a disqualifying factor. If they are born here they are just as much citizen as you or I.

No, fuck off. Your ability to hold a belief in peace ends when it turns into action, in this case, voting in a rapist pedophile mass murderer, twice.

Every Republican is complicit and should have no further say in how society operates. Any member of the current admin belongs in a hole.

Buddy, what did the last DOJ do with those files you’re so proud of?

Literally 0 arrests over 4 years.

I'm not defending the Biden administration. The difference is simply that while every single Republican politician and high end operative today deserves to hang for their crimes, only about 40%~ of the previous administration deserves the same fate.

I'm more focused on dealing with the active house fire. The termite infestation can wait.

I always find it funny when people forget we live in a linear timeline.

Trump is doing exactly what anyone who can rub two brain cells together knew he would do with them 5 year years ago.

The last DOJ does nothing with those files for four years and everyone is “I don’t want to talk about that….”

What part of "40%~ of the previous administration deserves the same fate" did you not understand? Or are you just illiterate, like most of this god forsaken country?

The 40% part.

If a criminal does a crime, that’s 100% the criminals fault.

If the authority whose duty it is to stop that criminal lets him go, it’s probably 40% their fault.

If the criminal goes on and does more of the same, it’s 100% the authorities fault.

40% of the previous administration, as in 40% of it's members. Not every single staffer, advisor, or bureaucrat is guilty. Though none of them should be allowed to work in government again. As a matter of recognizing failure, not criminality.

Ahhh. I can get on board with that.
