    They’re saying democracy in the US is over. The slow walk of prosecutions against the Jan. 6th insurgents, particularly its organizers, has given the fascists the confidence to do it again at a national level. We’ll either have to fight back with equal violence, flee, or submit to their dictatorship.

      The slow walk of prosecutions against the Jan. 6th insurgents

      A sane legal system takes time. While I agree the organizers have mostly gotten off scott-free, it’s because they know how to keep themselves in the grey area even knowing full-well how the uneducated, violent people will react to their messages. The rubes have gotten hard time and I feel potential rubes have taken some notice. They’ll still play the victim all day, but they seem less hesitant to join calls to action.

          And if the fuckers hadn’t obstructed in the first place, Garland would be a Supreme Court Justice, and someone else would be AG.

          I can’t believe how many people are trying to paper over that by strawmanning “you wanted Garland to indict immediately?”

          No, i wanted him not to BLOCK ALL INVESTIGATIONS FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. But insiders gonna inside, Garland wants those country club memberships and speaking engagements.

                I saw “a typo” more than once, but typos get a pass. I think on the third time reading it: “OHHHhhhh.”
