Don't worry. Prepare.

It’s all on Merrick Garland and the $upremely Courted, who have willingly led the American people to the chaos and violence lying in wait.

I’m gonna hold the politicians that lied to progress their career, the pundits that argued in bad faith, the clergy that put their faith aside for their political agenda, the people that sought to hide history instead of teaching it, those that worked hard to dehumanize those they disagree with, the leaders that opted for violence as a way to garner support, and I’m sure others, as responsible also.

I get it about the SC, but what did Garland do?

Unfortunately, the answer to your question is your question

Hmm. Well, not disagreeing, but, from your perspective, what should Garland have done that he failed to do? (And under which position - as he never made it to the SC and thus couldn't have voted down any of the things that happened there).

He should have assigned special counsel MUCH earlier. He has slow walked and delayed everything. Milquetoast Merrick.

Ah, like in https://www.npr.org/2023/09/06/1197998443/hunter-biden-gun-charge-special-counsel-indictment

Think I finally am on the same page as you on this. Thank you for educating me!

If Roger Stone and his cronies or other random assholes try to stop the count and start a coup best believe there will be. We won’t go out like 2000 believe that.

Tried that last time, ask Ashli Babbitt.

They sobered up real fucking quick.

The two sides are so rabidly opposed to the other's candidates, that I would be surprised if something considerable didn't happen around the time of this next election.

What are you going on about? When have Democrat supporters ever violently responded to an election outcome?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
