Experts: DOJ has "sufficient evidence" to probe Clarence Thomas — but Garland won't go for it
Experts: DOJ has "sufficient evidence" to probe Clarence Thomas — but Garland won't go for it
I'm increasingly convinced that the corporate/authoritarian movement in the US will not be overcome until heads literally roll. I'm not endorsing this. But I don't see another way forward when we have elites who are immune from any sort of ethics guidelines or having to meet the needs of constituencies.
Look through history and tell me the last time anything else has defeated fascism. The event horizon is behind us.
Fascism is an ideology of violence and genocide. It only understands violence.
That's why we're making presidents kings now. Gotta work up to that french-style revolution
I think everyone has sufficient evidence to arrest Clarence Thomas. I’m not even a lawyer and I think I could get a conviction on tax fraud for the tour bus loan that got forgiven.
Overall, despite a handful of good calls, Garland has been a catastrophically huge disappointment in the scope of trying to shore up our defenses against fascism. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that his nomination to AG is amongst one of Biden’s worst appointment decisions.
I would agree. Biden has had some really solid appointments overall (Love me some Lina Khan), but Garland has just not gotten the job done.
Even when they can go for the removal of fascist enablers through legal means they refuse to. God damn it.
Garland is the weak-ass supreme court pick that was a result of "reaching across the aisle". I'm not sure why he was given the AG role, but democrats should pick people actually willing to fight for us. Democrats positioned themselves as "the only thing stopping fascism" but they don't even try.

You can't keep the greed game going if you're on the sidelines. Gotta keep us voting for these inept dumbasses or they won't be able to enrich themselves!
I hate how we have 2 choices:
100% farm to table fascism
or
80% Corpo stooge 15% inept stooge 5% actually gives a shit about people.
5% actually gives a shit about people
We have to balance the budget! There's simply no money left for giving a shit about people.
Democrats positioned themselves as “the only thing stopping fascism” but they don’t even try.
They seem to be there just to have the sand kicked into their face first.
I like about 80-90% of what Biden’s done. But he and his generation of Dems don’t put as high a priority as they should n fighting to improve the lives of us little people. Should we avoid a fascist dictatorship and Biden gets 4 more years, replacing Garland has to be a top priority
So the republicans are so criminal we can’t investigate them because of optics. I hate the government. Top to bottom.
If optics and mob threats are why you cant investigate corruption then in a very real sense right wing terrorism is working on the government.
We don't negotiate with terrorists; we preemptively capitulate.
If money is speech, it becomes the ONLY speech.
Dear lord, what does he have to lose?
How could ever look himself in the mirror if he helped the American people?
Garland is trash. Sat on his hands for over 2 years before being forced into prosecuting Trump, but too little too late and now nothing will come of it. Again has a chance to restore some justice in this nation by taking on the obviously corrupt Supreme Court, and again chooses to do nothing.
Biden could replace him, but for some reason keeps calling him John Mitchell and then just trails off staring at the floor…
Garland deserves to be remembered as someone who could have saved rule of law, but didn’t have the courage to do so. People should spit should they ever be forced to utter the craven coward’s name.
Remember, according to the RW, something something deep state radical leftist tyranny of Merrick Garland, etc...
Croupt officials gotta stick together! ❤️
Look at what you get when you try to appease Republicans by appointing a federalist society judge to be AG in exchange for 0 Republican votes.
Wait, Garland is Federalist Society? That explains so much!
He is not. If he were, why would the republicans have stonewalled his nomination for Supreme Court Justice? It doesn't make sense.
He has participated in some events, like debates, with the federalist society, but he is not a member.
Do all the research in the world and you will not find any connection there.
Except that it’s not true
