1. Diaper Don is still out fomenting insurrection and election denialism.
2. Pig Pen three shirts is still advocating for the violent overthrow of the government and grifting.
3. The GA election interference case has devolved into a whos sleeping with the DA sideshow.
5. Judge Loose Canon is all but sucking Donnies wilted shroom hoping for her SCOTUS appointment.
6. SCREWUS is dismantling the regulatory state, destroying the right to vote, denying women bodily autonomy and taking bribes.
7. The DC appeals court is writing the consummate opinion on whether the Cheeto Shitgibbon is immune for life, to be delivered after its too late to hold douche-alini accountable.
Thank Odin for a fearless 80 year old superwoman who is giving Donnie skidmark fits, holding his necrotic feet to the fire, and costing him a fortune.
E Jean for President. Shes the only one getting work done when it comes to Combover Caligula.

We never heard someone say the Judge is from another political party so they are against someone. Trump started that but I think it will fade after he is in prison.

Reagan sent millions to the Iranians to hold on to hostages.
Neither was held accountable, nor was anyone else important for Iran Contra

(16,499 posts)The delays and bumps in the road are frustrating, no question. But as I posted in another DU thread today, it's not over till it's over.
For anyone who is considering giving up hope, I have this to say: I know we all feel like we've been waiting forever, and the longer it takes, the harder it is to keep waiting. But it really is NOT over, and it's nowhere near time to give up.
Hang in there, everybody!

(15,263 posts)If our so-called justice system somehow finally gets around to holding Trump accountable for at least one of his crimes before the election, with enough time to help save us from another Trump term in office, it's not as if I'm going to say, "Gosh! I never should have had any doubts!"
This shouldn't be a nail-biter. Well within the scope of a non-dictatorship (as if that's the ONLY other option) we're at least a year behind where we should be now. That's not just my opinion. I've heard plenty of well-educated, knowledgeable people with expertise and connections in the right places say the same thing.
You know what I haven't heard?
Other than defenders of the status quo here on DU, I haven't heard a single pundit or analyst or legal scholar put forth a passionate defense for the speed at which the DoJ and our courts have been moving.
I have yet to here any legal expert or ex-DoJ employee explain why you can't expect Trump to be held accountable any faster than this, lest we all swoosh right down the slippery slope into kangaroo courts, dictatorship, and mob justice -- which is what too many DUers act like the ONLY alternative would be.
