shit at this point Bondi could walk into a committee hearing, hold up a puppy, douse it in gasoline, light it on fire, and the Democrats would just ask her to stop then say "I think she did something illegal just now, I think so."

Where were those charges that Ro Khanna was "drafting" up in December against her? Where's the impeachment? why wasn't she held in contempt yesterday?

She lashed out at them yesterday simply because she knew she could and there would be zero repercussions. and then AFTER the whole dog and pony show several democrat politicians were damn ready to make sure they got their soundbites in about it.

it's embarrassing. Bondi should be behind bars right now and I'm damn tired of Democrats telling me, daily, that these people are breaking the law and they're doing jack shit all against them.

The US isn't a European parliament. Republicans have the majority in the House, Senate, and Supreme Court.

By what mechanism does a minority party put Bondi behind bars when they have no power?

I might as well say, why haven't you arrested Bondi? You have as much power. AOC isn't a general with an army behind her to enforce the law.

The only power they have is to stop some bills from passing through filibuster. That's it. Stopping a bill means stopping money to everyone, not just the part of the bill that they are against.

Americans gave total control of the entire government to Republicans. Stop blaming the victim for not fighting back hard enough.

Exactly what I was telling folks yesterday. They have the ability to enact punitive measures against someone who is being defiant in a hearing. Hold her in contempt, summon officers to drag her out of the room ffs, they need to stop pissing and moaning about decorum and cartoonishly wringing their hands and fucking do something already.

That requires a majority but the majority are Republicans.

Why didn't Biden indict them when he was in power?

Don't promise me a good time

The president before Trump also didn't indict anyone.

No better time like the present to indict all pedofiles in the Epstein files.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Indict? INDICT? This language is only slightly less soft than what the democrats are using.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

TBH they want the the DOJ to "investigate" which is softer language. I want the DOJ to formally charge (indict) Epstein's pedophilic clients and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

PresidentS. Since W they've been getting a pass

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, good point. The whole Epstein file thing is such a scam. People are obsessed about as if there was some magical file able to put powerful people jail. We already know what happened and who was involved. No one was punished. More files will not change that. There will be more outrage, maybe someone will resign from their position, retire early or lose some election. That's it. We can still complain about the cover up but let's be honest about the possible outcomes.

[–] gnuthing@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Punishment will only happen if these ppl are no longer in power because we've revolted

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 1 day ago

You know who they are and what they did. Revolt already.
