    Don’t worry Bannon, Democrat leadership doesn’t exactly have the best track record of holding criminals and actual enemies of the people accountable for their crimes.

      Exactly. I’ll eat my hat if any of the key people gave any consequences at all when all this is over. It will be all, “we have to look forward, not backward.” I wouldn’t be shocked if an elected Democratic president pardoned Trump and his goons so that we can “heal as a nation.”

        Garland’s understandable desire to appear a-political in the Jan 6th and Trump cases will be a stick the left use to beat the moderates in the Democrat party for decades, and rightly so.

        If Garland hadn’t wasted 15 months working from the bottom (rioters) up Trump would probably be in prison now. I think he was well intentioned but didn’t have the bottle to be the guy who put the wheels in motion for banging up a President.

          He was a republican, and that’s why he dragged his feet for 4 years. It was either too hard for him, or he was one of them all along. In either case, a complete fail of a man, who deserves all the contempt and loathing that I have for him. Garland is the reason we have Donny 2 Inches as president, and not in jail where he actually belongs. History should have Garland right up there with Benedict Arnold.

      We’re going to have to demand they do. When the time comes, we cannot let it go. We must insist these people face justice. Be as annoying about it as we are about the Epstein files.

        No revolution, but you really need reforms to the power structure and the way elections work. Starting with the current division of presidential power between a Prime Minister (or Chancellor) and a President. If you already had this separation of powers, you would never have been paralysed the way you are now; if representatives failed to reach an agreement to approve the 2026 federal budget proposed by the prime minister, the president would simply dismiss the government and call for new elections.

            Ah, it’s really easy to wish for the destruction of other people’s countries.

              The Donny 2 Inches government is fucking the entire world, mate. The whole world wishes this destruction on you, at this time. Elect better people, stop being run by and for criminals, and stop fucking over other countries and their people, maybe?

                I’m not American either. That’s why I first said “you” instead of “we”.

                I assumed the other guy was American and you assumed I was American, quite funny, isn’t it? 🤣
