..And now I know why I’ve never been a believer in God.

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.

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.

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.

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer
(One People, One Realm, One Leader)

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 · 17h

..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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Schumer’s heart is not in it.
Party confidence in him is very tepid.
This is not the time for passive leaders playing it safe.
Pitching change needed.

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

As a progressive voter, I’ve lost all confidence in Schumer.
He has no fight left in him.
He bores me.
I discount every word he mutters.
This is not the time for weakness.
Democracy yearns for resolve.

Chuck Schumer continues to miss the mark.
Frustratingly ineffective.

Agree.
I have a difficult time being upset by Trump. He is who he is and to his credit he doesn’t try to hide it.

What is baffling to me is the Trump voter who I feel should know better but for whatever reason refuse to recognize the danger he poses.
This I don’t understand.

voyager71.bsky.social @voyager71.bsky.social · 1d

Good suggestion.
Small town protest here but maybe I’ll yuk it up a bit protesting on one of my more placid horses.
Might be fun.

Never before.
For the first time ever I’m thinking what should I wear?

Lifeboat I forget..
will watch this week too.
For whatever reason I don’t remember it.
