"The [Jack Smith] report is a sad reminder of the futility of truth in the age of Trump and a subtle, yet still brutal, indictment of the Supreme Court’s unprecedented grant of presidential immunity."

Public Notice · Jack Smith reminds us of the futility of truth in the Trump eraBy Lisa Needham

@wdlindsy

If Garland had supported efforts to arrest and indict and prosecute Trump for sedition and insurrection as soon as he became Biden's AG, then we wouldn't be where we are right now.

@andytiedye @wdlindsy

It's this kind of "but we caaaannnnn't" thinking that got us where we are.

I think Garland did the best he could given the Supreme Court we have. His cases were never going to be allowed to go to trial, so having it play out during the election was the least bad option.

Leaving the Supreme Court out of it, if he'd been tried in a federal court, he might have been convicted. He was, after all, convicted of election interference. And, as I said, if the corruption on the Supreme Courtesans had been rooted out then the Supreme Courtesans wouldn't have been allowed to interfere, either. Instead, all the corruption and lies festered and spread for four years.

The only remedy for corruption in the Supreme Court is impeachment, and we could never have gotten ⅔ of the Senate to vote for that.

Well, then, I guess we're all doomed. Let the Democrats keep on dithering and caving in, and it is what it is, bless your heart.

We are certainly doomed if a bunch of us hive off into a third party, since third parties can only act as spoilers.

What we should do is all join the Republican Party. Imagine if one of those fools had to cater to his "base" of former Democrats or be primaried by a former Democrat.

Though leave it to a Democrat, even a former one, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
