    Some of us pretended to to wrap presents for the kids. Others erased evidence that could help put a pedophile in jail.

    Bondi’s been on the outs for a while now. They’re just throwing whatever blame at her to rationalize getting rid of her. People might think her eventual departure is good, and it is, but they’ll just put some other just as awful person in her place.

    Unimpeachable: Republicans control too many seats to ever allow successful impeachment (even less conviction) of any of their loyal gang members.

      This needs to be hammered home every time people meme about writing strongly worded letters.

      They literarily have NO POWER.

      That said, if Democrats take back power and do not fully prosecute these fuckers there needs to be riots.

      Check that, we’ve seen Biden, we KNOW centrist Democrats won’t do shit.

      We need leftist flooding the primaries and sweeping out the old Democratic guard.

        I’m a school bus driver and one time I was chewing out some misbehaving kids. At one point I said “if you guys don’t stop I’m going to report you to the principal and he’s going to, uh, give you a stern talking-to” and I just started laughing because it was so pathetic. The Repubs are like the kids on my bus: they know they can do whatever they like and nobody’s going to be able to do anything about it.

    Throw it on the heap of all the other illegal shit this administration has done for which they’ll never be punished.

      Okay, slow your roll there. Protecting pedophiles is not nearly in the same category as directly facilitating pedophilia and engaging in human trafficking.

      Downvote all you like, but a murderer is still guilty of a greater crime than their friend who is helping them bury the bodies.

    Until the dems control Congress with a healthy majority, nobody in this administration will face accountability.

      Even after dems have healthy majority these people won’t face backlash.

      It’s two hands of the same body. They’re working together.

        the reason they’ll say for no prosecution ?something like “so we can focus on our mission, let the healing start and so we can move forward together” ™

      I don’t believe the democrats will prosecute these people either. The only way I see justice ever being done is if there’s a violent revolution or a war

    Remember when Obama decided that “moving on” was more important than prosecuting the Bush admin for war crimes? There won’t ever be any consequences for these people unless we find a way to distribute them ourselves.

      Remember when Obama continued committing war crimes like he was the 3rd and 4th terms of the bush administration? It was in his best interest not to prosecute, the precedence would have been inconvenient for him.

      The corruption, incompetence, and negligence of the Bush administration led to the avoidable deaths of over 10,000 American citizens, countless foreign nationals, the rise of organized Muslim military extremism, AND the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

      When Obama took over, I never bought into his Hope & Change bullshit, he looked like just another neolib placeholder President, meant to fill in between destructive Republicans presidencies. That was the role of EVERY Democratic president since LBJ, the last warrior Democrat, and that’s the role that Obama filled.

      I said at the time, that if Obama didn’t aggressively punish the crimes of the Bush administration, the Republicans would view it as extreme weakness, and pounce. Republicans are feral, and they operate like wild animals. If their natural tendency for chaos isn’t controlled, the next Republican administration would be even worse.

      Despite that, even I was surprised at how bad MAGA became.
