Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Documents must be the Epstein files, Trump stole them to use as bed material.
This, I blame Biden for. He knew Trump was a traitor, and did absolutely nothing about it, while telling the public every day how big of a threat Trump will be. Biden willfully allowed this to happen.
Biden's idea was that ordering the DoJ to go after his political opponent, justified or not, would be something that would never be undone and the American people would never forgive.
He also had faith that the American people, when presented with a choice between a bumbling fascist idiot and anyone else, they would make the right choice. If he's right, not putting any pressure on the judicial branch should do the least damage.
He gambled for what he thought was the overall best outcome and lost. It's no coincidence that was also the path that required him to do nothing extreme.
America had forgotten how to do bold things. The Dems realized they couldn't campaign on status quo even though that was pretty decent and improving. And when they needed to come up with something more, their best answer was, "idk, $50k towards your first house, if the Republicans let us?"
I don't know which is worse, Obama for not forcing his Supreme Court justice through or Robert fucking Mueller, who was too fucking scared to actually outright say he's guilty af, even if he did line everything up for Congress to draw that conclusion.
I don't fucking care. He's a domestic terrorist and now even worse than what I'm sure they thought were hyperbolic warnings. He should objectively be in the Hague, so I don't give a fuck if he's also a 'political oponent'. Biden and Garland failed in a spectacular fashion.
When history looks back at this time, i think Biden's largest failure, (in regards this matter), will have been breaking his promise to be a one term President. So many screw-ups happened off the back of that, his catastrophic debate; the funding making it difficult for any other nominee but Kamala Harris to run; the undemocratic way Kamala was elevated to the nominee position; the late in the day change itself.
I suppose it was his own self importance, but democracy is never about one person. Each person plays a part, it needs to be recognised and acted upon when that part has finished.
It's true, I do believe if the dems had an open primary they would have done better. I know many swing voters that abstained or voted for Trump because they hated that Harris was "appointed" and thought it was undemocratic.
I do believe at least some of them truly did get hung up on this issue. Others I believe were juat using that as an excuse though
Biden could have done more, but Trump was charged and was in the process of being tried when Aileen Cannon blocked it. The appeal was abandoned when Trump was reelected. If the case was in front of an actual unbiased jurist, it would have gone much farther, but Cannon is pretty infamous for being a biased and inadequate jurist
It was a solid two years before charges were filed. He should have been arrested the second he left the Whitehouse, and thrown in some cell deep underground. If Biden had wanted the man thrown in prison, he'd be in prison.
And he literally weaponized a pandemic. He should have been tried by the military for war crimes and domestic terrorism.
Pretty sure the Patriot Act authorised Biden to do some heinous shit against Trump and he.
Didn’t.
The system failed as it so often does. This failure was perhaps novel for the sheer amount of corruption it took, but hardly unprecedented.
No. What is unprecedented is the willful mismanagement of an epidemic that you allow to spiral into a pandemic so you can ineptly weaponize it against your own citizens like the special Ed kid at super villain school. And then throwing a temper tantrum that results in a capitol riot.
Yeah the weaponizing of COVID against our own citizens was beyond insane. I remember someone threatening to kill me on Facebook because I said use precautions and be safe.
The fact that a bunch of people he pardoned went on to commit felonies kind of says everything.
History will go back and look at all of these enabling acts that brought about the fascist collapse of the American Empire. People in the future would be like, WHY WASN'T HE ARRESTED FOR THE BLATANT CRIMES??? in the same way we go "why wasn't Hitler stopped after this or that event?"
You are absolutely hoping for a sane future.
With Grok HomeTruth AI, kids will be tasked with tough questions like was the Holocaust even real?
Funny you should say that and I know that's probably where it's going to lead but I did use that fucking AI to fight back in some manner against a holocaust denial fuck bag who believed that the showers were just used for sanitation instead of gassing people
Not surprised, but sorry you had to deal with a person like that.
You are correct that is where this is heading. They want kids to learn everything they know from AI.
For anyone wondering why we keep top secret documentation in printed form, some of this stuff is so secret they don’t trust electronic devices to house it. To dump it in a bathroom in Mar-a-Lago is a sin that defies comprehension.
In a transcript of a July 2021 meeting obtained for his indictment, this is a direct quote from Trump, speaking to a White House staffer:
“Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this.”
It would be hilarious if only it were a Monty Python sketch.
Only a senile malignant narcissist could lack the self-awareness to say such a thing. When I say Trump is clinically insane, this is what I mean. The fact that this man is president instills a dread approaching cosmic horror. My highest hope at this point is to survive the next three years without a nuclear holocaust.
Don't forget that opposite the huge stack of document boxes was possibly a photocopy machine.

If it had been anyone else, he would have been arrested - within hours of them realizing those things were missing.
This is an explicit admission that the law is powerless against at least the president, but also likely many many more people in power. Freedom cannot exist if some people have cart blanche to trample other peoples freedoms, so now by the US's own word, they are no longer a free country.
How about do your fucking job when we most need you to? Worthless jerks.
The problem is — it shouldn’t matter. A crime is a crime. Succession is built into our foundation.
