There is one person to blame and it’s Merrick Garland

Expand full comment

It's not just him though. It's both the National Archives and FBI playing nice for almost a year before bringing charges under the Espionage Act. When they asked for the documents back and he said "I don't have any", they should have right then and there referred the issue to the FBI for investigation. And, after he turned over a few via his lawyers, a search warrant should have been issued and he should have been arrested.

But, at the end, who's really to blame are all the people who just couldn't vote for a Black woman who had their best interests at heart, and THEY helped elect the most vile human to ever hold public office.

Garland was always a Republican. He is a member of the Federalist Society. Why Biden thought it was a good idea to appoint him AG to go after tRump and the other criminals was always beyond me, but here we are.

I can't tell for absolute certain if he's a member of the Federalist Society, but when I google "Is Merrick Garland a member of the Federalist Society," the first link was a favorable link about Garland from the Federalist Society, so obviously google thinks he is, and it's clear Biden should never have picked him for AG.

Biden is not a true Democrat. I didn't vote for him for that reason. And he chose Kamala Harris for his VP to get the black vote. He has a reputation of being a racist back when he was first elected to Congress about 40 years ago.

It wasn't complicity. He didn't want to do anything that might suggest that the Justice Department had any bias in the matter, although having just learned that Garland is a member of the Federalist Society, to which all the Trump Justices belong, I suspect he did have his own bias in the matter. Consequently, he did nothing. Biden's worst mistake was appointing him.

I doubt it's complicity. There's a very wise rule: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

I think he was simply an overly-cautious person. That's a great quality in a federal judge, but not so much in an Attorney General. He should have been confirmed for the Supreme Court.

Exactly! Obama wanted him to be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court and the stinking Republican Mitch McConnell is the sob that blocked it. McConnell belongs in jail for violating the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.

Had he filed charges in February 2020, the ensuing trial would have been over and, as per the constitution, he wouldn’t have been allowed to run again. I’m not sure even his pet scotus could have gotten around that. Ffs, the evidence had been assembled for him by the impeachment hearings.

Think back to the second impeachment for the moment when mitch mcconnell said the courts would handle it. That is where the real blame lies. Those repubs that voted against impeachment are at fault first and foremost. Yes, Merrick Garland did not hire Jack Smith soon enough. But history shows this began (and ended) with what was formerly known as the republican party (uncapitalized words for emphasis).

I think they're both equally to blame. Either could have changed the outcome, so that Trump would not be returning to the White House. Neither did, Garland by his foot dragging.

He left an insurrectionist and a traitor alone for 2 years. There was a narrow window to splinter his relationship with his capos. This was not business as usual. Garland showed his utter incompetence and behaved like this was not a coup. It was. Trump should have been put in jail within weeks of Jan 6. Was there evidence? Fuck yes WE ALL SAW IT ON TV. Was there a conspiracy? For fuck’s sake the signs are all there for everyone to see plain as day.

Trump should have been arrested when he locked President Biden and his wife out of the White House. He had them standing outside in the cold air. And Trump refused to answer his phone and put a stop to the riot. He called all those Q'Anon and Patriot Boys and other A-holes three days prior to do that rioting for him. He should have been arrested as soon as he reached the Capital building!

Teflon Don wiggles free again.

When his cases started going to trial, I thought that maybe Trump's contract with Satan was coming to an end, but apparently he re-upped. One day, Trump will ride that golden escalator down to the nether regions of hell to his eternal reward. The only question is, how much damage will he wreak in the meantime.

November 26, 2024 is Trump's sentencing day over those 34 felony charges in New York. I believe the judge will sentence him. Trump is only the President Elect. He is not President yet! So everyone pray the judge locks him up. He can serve as President from his prison cell.

Istvan, are you suggesting that the main law enforcement institution in the country needs to kowtow to the objection of those who are sympathetic to the criminal?! No, that is NOT how law enforcement is supposed to work. The rule of law REQUIRES you to go after the criminal, you do NOT ask the public to first vote if they want you to go after the criminal.

Perhaps it’s possible he could have moved faster but he faced a slew of obstacles. He is a very honest, credible and knowledgeable man and I believe he would not move forward unless he was totally prepared, was as positive as he could be and fully believed he would get a conviction. I’m not sure that even if he filed charges in February of 2020 that it would have made a difference. We have all witnessed how Trump plays with the Courts as a defendant and that he files frivolous claims in response to charges for the sole purpose of prolonging the hearings. Trump’s maneuvers have shown us his total disregard and his outright disrespect for our Legal system. Any other person would have been jailed immediately for any number of the charges filed against him. No one but Trump is at fault for any of this.

I have great respect for Jack Smith. He tried but the judge was not going to let him go forward with the charges. Mr. Smith was a pit bull and never once retreated even when Trump’s appointed judge continued to obstruct his path.

Truth be told, no one other than Donald Trump, his supporters in Congress and his corrupt Supreme Court appointees are responsible for the damage he continues to inflict upon our nation. It’s still hard to believe what we have witnessed since prior to 2016 when Donald Trump first got involved with politics.

I also want to know why our intelligence agencies didn't seem to realize we were missing all those top secret documents. How is it possible that my local library is better able to account for all of its books than the US intelligence community is able to keep track of our national secrets?

Expand full comment

They did. That's how the National Archives knew he hadn't returned the documents he took with him. Every classified doc that goes to the White House is tracked.

Whether it's an original or a copy, it's all tracked. How do you think they knew he had them in the first place?

The agencies send the list of non-returned documents to the WH staff first, then they send an identical list that also includes all documents sent to the White House and to the Office of the VP.

The archives usually is pretty good at retrieving those, and in some cases, as evidenced by both Pence and Biden having docs in their possession, a few random docs do not get returned. The reason they're usually taken is they're either low classified or potentially has some classified info in them that is now declassified, and/or the doc was taken with the understanding it had been declassified, when in fact it hadn't be fully through the declass process.

Expand full comment

You are right in part. Every Classified document is logged in and signed for at every location and by the person who receives it. There is an ongoing process in which it is handles and filed. When it is returned its logged in and filed. If not returned that is noticed as well. Such as is the case of all the stolen documents. And even if they were declassified which none of the stolen documents had been declassified, they are still filed. And filed as declassified if in fact they are. All of those documents remain serious!

I know I'm right, I spent 16 years in the Intelligence field. I've even couriered docs to the WH and back.

How many R Senators grabbed for power instead of upholding their oath of office? We have seen that it was impossible to hold anyone accountable for that, even with our votes.

I think we can lay much more blame on Mitch McConnell. After all, he had multiple chances to stop Trump and didn't. He also packed the Supreme court with far right "Justices".

True!

Trump’s win isn’t political vindication. It results from saturating the system with disinformation, feeding grievances, and twisting reality until voters saw a false picture. Winning this way doesn’t erase his record of fraud and lies; he remains a criminal felon, for life.

What the country needed right after Joe Biden was elected were tribunals that punished ALL of the MAGA coup actors with either prison, fines and expulsion from politics. That would have set the necessary precedent about what political behavior was acceptable and what wasn’t. But that’s not Joe. He believed in the goodness of Americans. He bet on the love of goodness and fairness to beat MAGA at the ballot box. But the plan did not work and now we are facing the consequences!

Trump won becuase 10 million 2020 Biden voters failed to vote. Trump only received 600,000 more votes than he did in 2020. Harris received 10 million fewer votes than Biden. Exit polls will not tell us why since these noshows did not exit. Post election polls will eventually tell us why so many people thought not voting was the right thing. My hunch (without data) is these voters were turned off by the Gaza war daily imagery of women and children dying and thought neither Trump nor Harris were committed to stopping this “genocide”, as a it was portrayed. We need to understand this and stop the distractions of woke vs non-woke and other blame games. It is the noshows who decided this election, by default.

Meh, it was the racism sexism BUT ALSO if I were to put my tinfoil hat on, I have questions about the low voter turnout and some shady precursors to 11/5/24...

Trump called "Election Fraud! Rigged Rigged! In PA! In MI!" two hours into votes being counted.

This was while over 62 polling centers (most in blue counties & colleges) across 7 Swing States had Putin Russia created bomb threats to affect day of voting.

Now include the MASSIVE voter purging rolls that have been going on in GA, NC, NV, AZ - Journalist Greg Palast made a 2021 Documentary "Vigilante's Inc." on voter suppression tactics by the GOP, especially in 2020 thru 2024. This isn't just typical voter redistricting & gerrymandering.

Now, Shady Elon Musk who has perverted twitter into a Social Media Disinfo Weapon known as Xhitter, which has 100% MAGA brainwashed 1/3 of the country since 2016, who was already illegally bribing voters via 1mill raffles for Trump in Swing States, who had SEVERAL DOJ lawsuits on tap, and also was in contact with Putin just like Trump since 2022.

Then we have several Blue Wins for House/Senate seats and other Dem. Measures like Abortion/Wage Increase, plus several ballots in all 7 swing states only had votes marked for President, and nothing downballot?! Only the top ticket was showing these Trump heavy numbers?! Where places like North Carolina Dems swept all the other seats? Judges?

*Not to mention Starlink which Musk owns may have had some kind of server link to electronic voting machines.

Bottom line is both Trump and Musk have MAJOR REASONS to rig an election because of their many DOJ & Fed & State Investigation.

Look how Trump was literally Crashing his own Campaign because he didn't care, he kept saying "I got all the votes I'll need." or "Me and Mike Johnson have a secret." and finally "When this election is over you will never have to vote again, we'll fix it."

I think it doesn't hurt to demand a provisional & mail & day of recount ballot AND to investigate voting machines (the same ones MAGA did with thier 2020 claims) to see if the turnout matches the totals.

*also Joe Rogan said that Dana White told him Elon left their election night party 4 hours early because he knew Trump was going to win via some algorithm app he specifically created for this 2024 Election?!

I hope due diligence is being done behind the scenes as votes are still being counted.

Because these dudes are scary, PJ 2025 is scary, Putin, Netanyahu have been collaborating with both Musk & Rump, and they are DESPERATE. They would absolutely try to rig an election, to stay out of jail. Trump is a criminal. Always has been.

Thank you for summarizing the obvious shenanigans of these traitorous politicians. Since the Dems fear being the kettle that calls the Republicans the pot they shy away from acknowledging how all these tricks and tools impacted this election. Talk about rigging and cheating!

AOC's own Election Survey on her constituents was eye opening too. She wanted to ask why many of her voters split ticket voted for AOC and Trump instead of for Kamala last week.

I do think there is 100% motive for both ‘Rump & Elon to try and cheat this election to avoid indictments/jail.

But yeah, again I'm not into con-theory stuff, but I am aware of why it's appealing, so many great docs available during the last 9 years of the 'Rump Era on QAnon, Anonymous, NVIXM...plus the older cult and domestic terror events: Waco, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma bombing.

If our FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, Election Security staff have not seen any evidence so far, citizens should go to their state election offices and check their votes. Then if there is enough voters seeing non-counted ballots or top ticket of POTUS switching.

That's not correct. Those figures can't be right and a whole nation can't turn red overnight. You know what it looks like to me? It looks like Putins election. He allows a few thousand or a million vote for the other guy but all, or majority goes to him. This election looked like his just to say she got some votes, all of the country red that's real fishy and election interference.

I'm with you, Dian! I've had something gnawing at me all week. I mean, how could that ass-hat..

1. win Popular and Electoral vote results??

2. Win with lots of women (re: What about those women's bodies belonging to the government?

3. I can't believe Latinos would vote for the ass-hat, knowing one or more of their family members will be put in detention camps, and you may not hear from them ever again?!

4. Finding out that ass-hat has been speaking to Putin on the regular, and, perhaps, planning how the votes will line up giving him the win?!

There's more, but it's late and my brain has stopped working. I'll give it a try at some other time...

I totally get you. I have rented and saved about how it's not logical and looks like one of Putins elections. Give the opposition a few but the most will come to me. It sounds and looks like Putins race. Ukraine I feel so sorry for but he will not give up. Biden promised him things I wish he would give the F-14, 15. I really wish we would enter and once we are in we are in, say to protect Poland. My brain is so tired. So I do get you. Some fool called me a bit and there is two scammers on her.

I voted for Kamala fully aware she was a woman and black. I believe she would have surrounded herself with a competent cabinet and grown into the job. Alas, we will have to wait another four years unless Trump does something egregiously impeachable, which is entirely possible.

Oh, he will certainly do something that is entirely impeachable, we know that. The thing is that the Republicans control the Senate, and the Supreme Court has declared that nothing he does. Quechan of his office is illegal, so we’re stuck with him until he dies. I think he will die in the next couple of years, and JD Evans will emerge as the man to take us back to the 1700s.

No, it was definitely Garland. He let Trump get away with everything. If he had acted when he should have Trump would be in jail - maybe. Maybe not but I don't think he would have been President. Kamala ran an amazing campaign - even more amazing considering the time constraints and everything else. It was the mainstream media treating trump like an ordinary candidate and bowing down to to their corporate overlords to a point, but the misogyny of voters wanting to vote for a white man - convicted felon, rapist and multi bankrupt that his is instead of an amazingly accomplished and experienced woman can't be overstated.

Expand full comment

Mary, thank you again, and many of us join you in wondering how we will survive another lengthy period of ptsd. I point out that the media are owned by wealthy patriarchal men and that Bernie Sanders is a damaging Patriarch of the left who always missed the point or chose to ignore the fact that the overwhelming number of "workers" who are minimum wage workers arecwomen, many of the single mothers who didn't become so by immaculate conception. The comments here show that there us enough blame to go around, including Biden, Garland ( a poor choice for this particular job and it seens

seems not assertive enough for a highly politicized Supreme Court, either), the male owners of media, and others. And at least one man here who wants to blame white women above all, which js ridiculous. You don't blame enslaved people for not uprising enough, you blame the patriarchy that gave rise to slavery, including the mostly male black African men who profited from selling people from tribes other that their own. You don't blame mentally colonized for a patriarchal onslaught when the constitution never even acknowledged their existence in the founding document, and when REPUBLICAN PATRIARCHS ENCUMBERED THE ERA PASSED IN 1972 with an unusually burdensome deadline, engineered opposition to ratification which finally took place in January 2020, and when after the House under the leadership of the great Nancy Pelosi passed a bill to finally publish the ERA as law and Mitch Misogynist McConnell refused to bring that to the Senate floor because he " didn't believe in it," and when Biden ( who also refused to let other women corroborate Anita Hill's charges of sexual harassment in Clarence Thomas's Confirmation hearing) didn't do a thing to push publication of this amendment nor did Chuck Schumer push it. All of these men failed us, as they have always done in theif pathetic inability to represent their sisters, mothers, wives, nieces, aunts abd cousins. White women weren't used so obviously horrendously as black women have been but they have been mentally and emotionally colonized, so that matter is much more complex than any man can fathom. A massive deprogramming would be needed to change that. But we have been raped, invested, blamed and otherwise abused and had Roe removed so that even little boys are taunting little girls with " your body, my choice." No, Patriarchy is THE PROBLEM! It always has been, and it's so entrenched in every social, political, religious, and legal institution that any remaining vestige will spread like a cancer when women make any gains. Because apparently men don't think they can compete successfully on an equal basis with the majority of the population, the real demographic that subsidizes this nation's economy with free and underpaid labor. And now that it's all out in the open, instead of looking at patriarchy, pundits are blaming the black woman who had to stand by for 4 years and who shone brightly and inspired us all with her flawless campaign, white women voters, and the party whose foundational demographic is female. Thanks lot, fools.

Thank you for replying to me. I appreciate your response.

I’m very sceptical of the voting tabulators for 2 reasons. One is that an election fraud investigator has suggested that the tabulation level is shows evidence of irregularity on these 2 threads

https://spoutible.com/thread/37794003

https://spoutible.com/thread/37937176

The 2nd is that I’m Canadian, and my very rightwing provincial government just banned voting tabulators in our elections. That tells me that they know something or have strong reasons to suspect something is suspicious about that part of elections (we vote on paper ballots, fyi) because it means that elections take longer and therefore cost more. This isn’t a government that wants to pay people to manually count votes for no reason.

I didn't hear any "Woke Politics" from Harris or Walz. All of the Identity Politics I heard came from the Trump side. Unfortunately, because he is a dancing clown that had his deflection/distraction campaign in full force, the Harris/Walz campaign were fighting against a hurricane of messaging that put words in their mouths or took their words out of context. They fought a valiant battle, and I still appreciate them for the effort.
