Nice, TXR.
Agree.

Inaction is why many doubt the Democratic Party.
For too many years they had excuses why the southern border was not secure.
Trump came into office, bent some fingers and has successfully done what all Americans believed needed to be done.
Biden should have gone off script and taken Trump down.

Good points E.
I still believe that if there was the will there was a way.
2 years was too long considering the severity of the crime.
If Trump ends democracy as some believe is possible, many including myself will view Biden as the man who let him get away with it.

I feel like my daughters in away.
My farm overalls … no, they are stained.
My one suit for weddings and funerals… no, too formal.
My old Navy uniform.. to tight.
But unlike my daughters, i hung those back in the closet nice and tidy.

Guess I’ll just go as me. Jeans, and a sweater.

Who is she?
Is she someone I should know?

Yes I agree. It may have appeared as a witch hunt but strong leaders make difficult decisions no mater whose toes they step on.
History in this case would have praised Biden as one who made the difficult choice.
He didn’t make that choice and now we may never again have a legitimate election.

This “wall" between the President and the DOJ is a long-standing tradition since Watergate.
it is not based on law nor is it absolute.
J6, was Trumps creation to steal an election. An attack on America from within. It was Biden’s job to safeguard the US and he failed.
Democracy is now at risk.

voyager71.bsky.social @voyager71.bsky.social · 18h

I strongly disagree Amy.
Under the circumstances it was Biden’s job to take a front seat and safeguard the integrity of elections and the country.
Biden failed in that regard.
I like Joe, but look what we’re now dealing with… A dictator!
History will be very hard on Joe and deservingly.

Please Amy.
You may think that’s how it works, and perhaps it should, but it doesn’t and it never has.
Biden was president. An insurrection happened.
If Garland was not up to the job he should have been removed immediately.
Biden oversaw the investigation and finally under pressure charged Trump

Hegseth should be concerned.
They’re all kinda chunky.

Never protested before.
But I’m in.
And for the first time in my life.. I’m wondering.. What should I wear?

Yes James, but the Democrats have fiddled around with securing the southern border for 15 years too.
Trump, like him or not, has accomplished that.
I hate Trump, but the democrats share some of the blame for inaction and poor messaging.

I bet the color of their skin resembles the skin tone of most mass shooters in America.

And I’m guessing both groups get really turned on stroking their ARs

What game are they playing.
Why don’t they just make it simple so the MAGA chumps understand.

The rule of law was under attack when Biden dragged his feet for 2 years prosecuting Trump for J6.
Until I die I will wonder why.
Trump should have been charged with attempting an insurrection and immediately jailed.

It’s a sad commentary on politics when entitlement, money and the Rolodex squashes ambition and energy.
Oligarchy democracy is an unsustainable way forward.

voyager71.bsky.social @voyager71.bsky.social · 20h

..Or let the case move forward and begin the trial.
Call Trumps bluff and let’s see the cards.

Nowhere in my playbook did I envision these vindictive prosecutions.

Nowhere in my playbook did I envision J6 insurrectionists who beat cops receiving full pardons.

Nowhere in my playbook did imagine federal agencies like the CDC being methodically dismantled.

OBVIOUSLY I NEED A NEW PLAYBOOK.

Parity in the NFL or perhaps just a lot of mediocre teams ??
No powerhouse I see in any division going into week 7 — And the storylines about the games this weekend are blasé at best.
Not a Debbie downer on the NFL.. I am a fan, but the Zip and excitement is not there.
Maybe it’s just me.

Bessent seems concerned.
That settles it then. I’m going to a protest.

voyager71.bsky.social @voyager71.bsky.social · 22h

I’ll give you a list.
Durbin
Murray
Schumer

They all need to retire.

Janet Mills is too old.
Democrats need younger hungrier candidates that have that “Zip” I see lacking in the party.

Those connected albatross’s bring in the $ yes.
But that’s it.

Out the door Chuck.
