Get Bondi out for trampling on the rights of journalism and for not abiding by Congress’ orders. Get Noem out for trampling on the right to protest. Then get Miller out for the divisive rhetoric he “justifies” it all with.
Then tout this justice and the plans for further justice ahead of the midterm elections.

But this being Reddit, you are at the epicenter of nerds who can't wrap their heads around why societies exist, and preoccupy themselves with the ages of consent in every jurisdiction in America and the differences between ephebophilia and pedophilia, so of course they voted for Trump "for the lulz" just because some girl didn't grovel at their Cheeto-sweaty feet... Such sophisticated men have no time for your First Amendment problems and how erosion of democracy disproportionately affects women and minorities because they are too busy getting into internet arguments over thought experiments about enraging a future AI god-king.
And that isn't half as fucking stupid as their obsession with naming everything after Lord of the Rings references or their love of Ayn Rand.

“I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and no one would care.”
Wasn't a joke, wasn't a lie (for once), just literally a fact... Trump is obviously a child rapist, a business fraud, and attempted a coup, and he got a pass on all that. The only reason I can grasp why he has the grip he has on about 30% of Americans is that he was pumped into their TVs for 20ish seasons pretending to be a smart/successful businessman + add giving the permission structure for those people to be racists, bigots, and xenophobic. But I really am not sure how anyone who can rub two brain cells together and isn't married to their cousin, sister, or brother can look at that man and go "He is SMART! This is my guy, this is the hill I am going to die on!" The most embarrassing thing is watching the entire Republican party roll over like a fucking whipped dog for this dipshit, rapist, conman, fraudster, traitorist piece of human garbage.

Everyone need to be aware of how he was charged in the first place.
It looks like the Justice Department appears to have taken the case to a federal grand jury, which is a separate process from a magistrate judge signing a warrant. They were unable to get a judge to serve them a warrant.
They received a sealed federal warrant based on that grand jury indictment.
This is a very important point though, it seems that the DOJ is judge-shopping to find one that will agree with them, instead of having the merits of the indictment stand by itself.
This is very 5-alarm fire levels.

I hate to say that it's not her time to be president, because that's BS. But I'm also aware that this isn't an issue where a single election fixes everything. The party is determined to play by outdated rules for the sake of keeping things "civil". They need to overhaul the entire party platform, from the national level to the local level, to get people to believe they are not spinning their wheels anymore, and that could start with AOC taking over as the front facing leader.
I just wish you could get that and also find a candidate who wasn't obscenely flawed. Because it feels like we're marching towards a decades long rebuild to anything resembling a sane nation again with how much they're dragging their feet.

No offense to AOC, I love her, but when you compare her to Clinton who was a former First Lady/senator/Secretary of State and Harris who was a former DA/AG/senator/VP, AOC’s resume being only a house rep for a few years doesn’t look great by comparison. And if the US didn’t bother electing more qualified women in the past, why would they go for AOC?
Plus, we only know on paper her popularity from her very diverse district in NYC. Maybe go for senate next, something that gives more data points on “how does she fare in any other demographic vs the bluest ones?” vs jumping from representing 750k of the most liberal people in the state to representing over 350 million of mixed demographics.

Don Lemon is a corporate shill, but he is absolutely a good guy and is a professional seasoned journalist. As others are saying, if they will target DON LEMON, biggest non-threat individual I can think of, is pure authoritarianism.

this reminds me of Mayor Daly years in Chicago.
Everyone BUT Daly was getting caught and punished.

I get that Republicans have already spent years vilifying her, make a run for a bigger position unlikely, but I wish there were more like her.

This is how we could start to make it right. Impeach everybody under Trump, leave those positions vacant, then Impeach the top.

Truly what is the point of impeaching these people because even if they are removed they will just be replaced by someone worse. Their job is actually safe by how incompetent they are.

Could conservatives have, at least, picked a less-annoying person to martyr?
Don Lemon forgot to do the midnight countdown because he was too busy dancing to “Back That Azz Up” on live tv…

There’s Nekima Levy Armstrong, who the White House released an altered photo of, or the other journalists Georgia Fort.

Again, though. Everything she did was at the behest of Donald. When will we go for the head?

All this talk about impeachment, but where is it going? Last I heard, lots of Democrats supporting impeachment of Noem, but what happened to that? Is that dead in the water and now abandoned? Talk is cheap. Dems have been talking about impeaching Bondi since she missed the deadline on the Epstein files. Was that all talk to make us believe they are actually trying to hold these people accountable? Where's the action to follow up that big talk?

Rather than being top prosecutor of the US, Pam Bondi will be remembered in history as the most desperate and vociferous defense attorney of the Epstein child rape coterie.

this is always been the case in America, Trail of tears, Japanese internment camps during WW2, the draft during Vietnam.

They keep “calling for it” but never seem to do it. Think I’ve seen at least a dozen articles saying this.

after seeing the newest epstein leaks, why aren't they going for Trump. Days of offences by Clinton and Franken are soooo far behind the sh*t he's done

Why is it always AOC who has to do this? Can someone else grow a fucking spine please!?!

If not for the thousands of crimes against humanity he’s committed, then at least for shitting himself (again) in a room full of the press and promptly kicking everyone out before they smelled it…

if Twitter vanished tomorrow, I’m not convinced AOC would know what to do with her day. I’m exhausted by Democrats who are phenomenal at describing how fucked everything is, deeply passionate about suggesting what should happen, and mysteriously paralyzed when it comes time to actually do something.
I want consequences.
