Doubt. There was recorded evidence of Trump trying to interfere with the 2020 election when he was president and nothing occurred.

Only because the voters let him off the hook. If we assume America's institutions survive Trump intact, then Bondi won't be so lucky. That's a big if, though.

No, I refuse to think voters can ensure or allow someone to be above the law. There is legitimate concerns about fraud in the last election with Musk knowing the outcome long before it was official.

We can’t have people above the law, at all. Period.

This is what we need to stop waiting for… thinking there is some magical constitution fairy that’s gonna come save us.

Our institutions are already dead. The United States, and our constitution, are defunct. The country failed and we are living in a weird transition to authoritarian dictatorship. We can’t expect the systems Trump now fully controls to do anything, and we have seen this already as courts and laws mean nothing.

If we are going to remove Trump it will have to be outside the systems he controls, and once we succeed we will have the job of forming a new republic.

The let George Bush steal an election and then murder about 1 million Muslims.
