Can we just replace Garland already?

Well…it’s been almost 18 months since the January 6th attacks on our country and we have enough evidence to convict the idiot trump of multiple crimes, so why hasn’t he been charged with anything? Even before the January 6th committee revealed how many crimes he committed, the Mueller report had enough evidence to charge idiot boy with 10 counts of obstruction of justice and that came out 3 years ago…we knew that barr wouldn’t do anything but what about Garland? Why is he letting trump and his criminal cronies run free and continue their attack on this country? Doesn’t he understand that this was a coup attempt and the right response would be to levy charges against all of them and as part of the charges, invoke the 14th amendment prohibition of ever holding office again that was used against the traitors after the civil war? What about the 147 repub members of congress who were part of the coup by voting to not certify the electoral college votes? Why have none of them been subpoenaed to testify to their roles? Many of these same folks are still running for congress and are still spouting the “big lie” that the election was stolen and yet Garland does nothing. Can we just replace Garland already? Can we get someone for AG who understands that the AG’s job is to protect the rule of law in this country and doesn’t just talk about it? As every day goes by with the leaders of the repub party not being held accountable for their criminal behavior just emboldens them and reinforces their belief that they ARE above the law and they will make sure they are after the next election…fish or cut bait, Garland. Geez….

Arrest the traitors….

Well…not sure if you read the news over the past couple of days but it has come out that in 7 states that Joe Biden won in 2020, repubs conspired to send in fake slates of electors to the National Archives with the intent of getting them accepted as real and installing the idiot trump as president again….in Arizona, the repubs that broke the law and betrayed the country were even so brazen as to take a photo of the group of them who faked the electors and signed their names to the fakes…look, come on DOJ, all of these people admitted to breaking election law and you do nothing? Every damn one of these people should have been arrested and indicted for this scheme…and this same thing happened here in Michigan…where the hell is the AG here? Why haven’t these folks been charged? Every damn time this type of behavior is allowed to go unpunished, it erodes the rule of law in this country and emboldens the repubs to go farther and farther in destroying our democracy…this bullshit has to stop now if we are to salvage any pretense that the law applies to everyone…Garland can speechify all he wants but without action, there is no rule of law anymore…geez…

Merrick Garland has to go…

Well…you know, I really wanted Merrick Garland to be a good AG and start restoring the rule of law in this country…but, he sits on his hands as all of trump’s cronies ignore congressional subpoenas which is braking the law…a few of them actually and yet Steve Bannon thumbs his nose at them and refuses to even acknowledge that he has received the subpoena…and what about the ten counts of obstruction of justice that Mueller had evidence for in his report? That surely should be enough to charge trump and now, the special prosecutor has shown that 13 people in the idiot’s circle broke the law by campaigning on government time…a violation of the Hatch act that makes this crap a felony….where are the charges for that? Look, I can understand getting your feet under you inĀ  new job but 10 months is enough…it’s time to start fixing our broken justice system and if he is not up to it, it’s time for him to go….geez….

Restoring the rule of law…

Well…with all of the fireworks that have been going off in the Mueller investigation and the emphasis on who is a crook and what crimes they committed, one really important facet of the investigation has been overlooked…that what Mueller is really doing is trying to restore the rule of law in this country that has been all but destroyed by the repubs over the past few years. As I’ve written before, the repubs have been acting like the laws of this country don’t apply to them and the constitution is just for suckers unless they can use it to attack people they don’t like…but now, with the Cohen guilty plea yesterday of lying to Congress, Mueller has signaled that all of the laws of this country are to be followed or there will be consequences…and guess who that puts right in the crosshairs of Mueller and the dem congress in January? Yep, Donnie Jr. and Jeff Sessions to name just a couple…but also almost every other trump associate who testified to support the trump lies about Russia and the campaign. So, there are going to be a lot of things to look forward to in the next month or so…meltdowns of idiot boy are going to be delicious…impeach…

Republicans and the rule of law..

Well…just a short one on the ongoing pattern of the repubs that only believes that a law or agreement should be adhered to when it suits them. The latest example of this nonsense is the piling on that happened when Obama announced that all combat troops would be withdrawn from Iraq by the end of the year….and the republicans went nuts calling it a grave failure of diplomacy by Obama’s administration. I’m laughing right now with the absurdity of it all…after all, the agreement to withdraw the troops was negotiated and signed by ole GW….so now, all of the repub candidates and some others on the right are blaming this on Obama? And, they are proposing abrogating another agreement just for political points in an election? These people are the worst kind of panderers, people who will say anything to inflame their base, no matter the damage to the US’s international standing…just like the neocons did getting us into Iraq…it just proves that these folks have an inability to learn…or to live in a reality based world…geez…
