Democrats decry ‘sham for justice’ after prosecutors drop Trump charges

The United States is a fucking joke. The nation supposedly founded on the rejection of a king believes that one person is literally not subject to US law. I could not have more contempt for, or feel more shame about being an unwilling participant in the unprincipled hypocrisy of this absolute shit hole of a country.

Fuck the oligarchs that run this place. Fuck the fascist Republican Party. Fuck the cowardly Democrats. And fuck the moronic, fear-riddled people.

If only we still had another month with a Dem president and his AG controlling the DOJ...

I mean a month is a short time, ideally we'd have had that the last four fucking years and had plenty of time to handle this.

sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted.

The charges, including election interference

🤡

Election interference is legal if you do it so well you win.

Wow I'm so shocked

Had 4 years to sort this and out the fucker in jail for treason and decided to dick around doing fuck all til a few months before the election.

Biden has the blood of 100,000 on his hands and the death of democracy in his lap. That's his legacy.

Democrats fear Trump will seek political retaliation, deepening national divisions.

No, it's not a fear. It's an acknowledgement of exactly what he has said he will do:

Trump has said repeatedly he will seek political retaliation, deepening national divisions.

English person here: I didn't think he was classed as 'sitting' until he was officially voted in with the Electoral College and sworn in. Surely there's still time to prosecute.

I told my wife 4 years ago when these charges came in "If this becomes more than a slap on the wrist I will be amazed", I am not amazed.

I’m actually kinda OK with this considering the circumstances.

With the republican’s capture of the presidency, congress, and the SCOTUS, there’s no way he’s going to suffer a day for his charges if the court pursued them.

The main problem was not sentencing him quickly when they had the chance. That’s the major fuckup.

Anyway, the dismissed charges are without prejudice. Which offers the opportunity (assuming trump survives his presidency, we don’t end up with a de facto republican dictatorship, etc) that he can be sentenced after his presidency.

But we all know how the courts love sentencing rich old white dudes.

Went from oligarchy to patriarchal oligarchy reaaal quick there lmao

Everyone's going to shrug it off like they did in russia when putin was beginning to spread his roots. Then they'll cry 'it's not the people's fault, it's him!".

The party of law and order...for everyone but themselves.

This is what America voted for. Cthulu help us.

Democrats sat on their ass for 4 years and bailed Trump out.

Lot of good that decrying'll do now.

Democrats are done, elect a progressive party

Here comes 4 years of dem finger wagging

Merrick Garland needs to be remembered by history as an all time coward. The way we use Machiavelli to label a traitor, we need to use Garland to denote the most limp, failed and feckless human being.

Here's everything you need, press this one button and the majority of the country will celebrate you perpetually and history will call you a hero... Doesn't lift a finger, throws up down the front of his shirt, falls asleep.

Fuck Merrick Garland, without qualification.

It seems counter intuitive, but you want as little of this of this floating around as possible while he's in office. Act like nothing's pending throughout his term, then reopen this the minute he's out.

We don't need him having more motives to try to dictatorially stay in power after his term, and stuff like clearly pending trials and sentencings hanging over him the moment he leaves the WH could give him that extra incentive.

"President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office, as an ordinary citizen, unless the statute of limitations has run, still liable for everything he did while in office, didn’t get away with anything yet – yet.”

— Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), on February 13, 2021, arguing against the need to impeach Donald Trump.

More like fear of retribution from the orange felonious madman

See Americans, this is the type of shit you should invade gov buildings for, that type of shit is for when the institutions don't work, not for when they are doing their job

Breaking News: liberals once again forget which country they live in.

He's not sitting yet, you fucking bootlicker.

People don't understand that this was the most-damaging ting Smith could do. If he didn't drop the charges now they'd be dismissed entirely in January.

By dropping them without prejudice now, before trial begins and before the case can be reassigned by the Trump admin, the charges can be refiled in 2029.

Smith is keeping his eyes on the prize.

Cry more. Americans brought this on themselves. After everything we've gone through over the past decade with the orange, we elect him right back in the WH with eyes wide open. We deserve everything that's coming our way.

He's above law so the law is beneath him.

But nothing is beneath him so the law means nothing.

There are a couple of troubled people that deserve a pardon and an apology. Maybe their boom sticks back too? They will definitely not do it again! They pinky promise!

If only Americans would decry it.

👍

The liberals keep fascism in their back pockets just in case.

Capitalism hasn't been able to offer what it promises and its only natural that the left or right would emerge the victors. Sadly with poor education in america and red scare, McCarthyism both still poisoning the well then only one realistic outcome is possible and your all living it. A trump victory.

If you want real change join a socialist / leftist org. Read socialist theory and teach others of the scientific approach to society and class differences.

When justice is not done, sometimes justice will be done.

you should have tried winning
