Summary
Former federal prosecutor Sara Levine, fired by Trump, warned on 60 Minutes that the Justice Department is “under attack.”
Levine, who prosecuted January 6 rioters, said she was fired for upholding the law.
Legal expert Peter Keisler criticized Trump’s pardons of Capitol rioters, arguing they signal that crimes committed in support of Trump’s agenda may go unpunished.
These actions undermine the rule of law and discouraging accountability for political violence.
And they should have been shouted at. The current system does not allow for third party viability as disappointing as that is.
Uh-huh, and how is constantly voting for the lesser evil going for you? What did you seriously expect to happen? We’d just keep slipping towards fascism but never actually reach it?
It’s possible for you guys to both be right.
The thing about our system only ever allowing two viable parties is true. And once you’re at the general election, you can vote however you like but you ARE getting one of two choices, no matter how good or evil they are.
To fix things from within that system, it’s important to work to put a good choice on the ballot well before the election arrives.
…but since corporations are people and money is speech, that didn’t work very well. And now fair elections are probably a thing of the past. This shit might not get fixed until the greater evil burns it down.
You and people like you are the problem, and you’re blaming the people who are being directly affected by the poor decisions you yourself are choosing to make.
How exactly, is Chuck Fucking Schumer being most impacted?
Don’t recall naming him or any other dinosaur senator, so you tell me
People are blaming the Dems, not other voters… Unless of course, you’re a lib, who blames voters for not wanting to back a genocider or grifter…
The fact that this is constantly the response from libs being called out is honestly the reason I have given up. I’ve spent the last decade being politically active, trying to motivate Americans to vote in their own self-interest for things that will actually improve their lives, and I’ve received nothing but insults and assumptions from centrists who’ve never done a damn thing to prevent the collapse we’re witnessing now.
So yeah, fuck it. My informed opinion after campaigning for third parties and leftists for years is that Americans deserve everything that is going to happen to us. You didn’t want a democracy, and now you don’t have one. Congrats!
I am not a lib, thank you.
Is it the lesser evil if it’s on the same team as the greater evil?
BoTh siDes ARe thE Same?
How is that working out for you?
Honestly, it’s hard to fault politically disconnected people who feel that way. The democrats are just the ratchet strap that keeps us from going any further left while the republicans drag us farther right. The GOP also has a literal firehose of constant media drenching the working class while the democrats just suck on the corporate peepee. I voted for harris this time because it was the lesser evil but i am starting to understand how someone who doesn’t pay attention winds up voting for trump.
It’s almost as if protecting freedom is a full time job.
I served my country for a decade. What have you done?
One thing I’ve done is not believed everything I saw on the interwebs.
It’s pretty obvious your beliefs are heavily curated buddy. 😂
That’s what elected reps are for…
And how do they get elected?
They don’t grow in pumpkin patches
So, ypu agree, we should not vote for people, if they are not properly representing the party members, right?
The main difference is one smiles at you while stabbing you in the back, and the other laughs at you while gutting you.
Either way, you’re dead.
Both sides aren’t the same because they’re just as bad, they’re the same because they work together. Dems haven’t made meaningful changes in a long time and I’m done supporting them while they do nothing. They are complicit.
So, what’s your plan to stop Trump?
Going to create a viable 3rd party in 24 months?
