    The President has historically had wide latitude to act in times of emergency. The instigator of the insurrection should’ve been in Gitmo on January 21, 2021.

    Sure, call me extremist, but look at where we are now. I’m fucking right. But, barring the correct action, Biden could’ve followed the moderate, decorous course of launching the prosecution that day. But no, it took TWO. GOD. DAMN. YEARS.

    I’m so done with Democrat excuses.

      Biden had to preserve our beloved institutions so Trump would have something to tear down.

      I think, in principle, the president persecuting his predecessor and current political rival is bad. Much simpler a solution is to not disrupt his criminal investigation by electing him president, but instead we’re a country of assholes who can’t even show up to the polls to keep him out.

        Holding a criminal accountable for the crimes they’ve committed is not persecution.

          The courts were responsible. Biden already expressed disappointment in the AG for being slow. This should never have been Biden’s job to do, and it is our collective fault that he became president absolving himself of crimes.
