And if anyone knows a serious threat to the rule of law, it’s Gonzo.
It's wild I didn't recognize his name in another post but he's the guy that made the Guantanamo torture policy for the Bush admin, right?
John Yoo, his subordinate, wrote the actual plan, but Gonzales signed off on it.
Ah yes I remember him as well.
Man, I had forgotten about this little twerp. Way to spring back from hiding.
When even this torture-defending lunatic is going, "Whoa, hey, Trump's a fascist," then Trump is a goddamn fascist.
I'm happy to see all these Republicans endorsing Harris, but they're about 8 years too late at this point. Anyone with half a brain could see how big of a threat to democracy and rule of law Trump was in 2016, and yet they all went along with the grift anyway. We wouldn't be dealing with his shit right now if these same people had grown some balls back then.

Anyone with half a brain could see how big a threat to democracy and rule of law Alberto Gonzales was in 2006. It's fucking surreal to see people brag about this endorsement.
What's next? Is John Yoo going to take a hiatus from crushing children's testicles to weigh in favorably for Harris? Can we get Lynndie England's endorsement, while we're at it? Fucking wild how people have completely forgotten the congo line of war criminals parading through the Bush Administration 16 years ago.
As Jon Stewart said to Dick Cheney about his endorsement of Kamala Harris:
Fuck off. Fuck straight off.
Gonzales is an A-1 fucking piece of human garbage, who should be tortured for every second endured by the people he threw to the CIA goons. I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on him if he were on fire. Just an evil sub-human.
I feel like these guys are all staining Harris. But I suppose it's glad to have ya...
