Forgive me on the details, re: Garland. I have cancer and the meds make my memory and mind go a little wonky sometimes. I’m pretty sure you understood what I meant, despite the mistake.
Impeachment isn’t the same as a criminal investigation, and Garland still waited two years until the ex-President had become so criminally belligerent. He could have started on day one, and he chose not to.
We simply don’t agree on “the consequences of doing it.” You think it’s a lot more dangerous than I do, it’s as simple as that. I don’t think prosecuting criminals for crime is really that hard of an issue when the whole point of this damn system is for these folks to represent us and our interests. Sorry that we disagree on the far reaching consequences. “You get no credibility to me from simply yelling it must be different without being part of the change and accepting the consequences.” Okay, we both see different consequences unfolding, so obviously I am accepting the consequences and you’re being fucking obtuse. The fact that you view this as “Only I am smart enough to know the consequences” speaks loudly of how condescending you’ve been this whole time. You have also failed to detail these far reaching consequences that are so fucking dangerous.
Sorry I don’t have a plan. I have cancer and meds that cost $18.3K a month without insurance. You want me to be in charge of the plan? I’m in my forties and have cancer in a country that’s happy to let me die. I’m about to be a fucking statistic in “youth” cancer deaths. I’ve got my own fucking problems. I’m a voting citizen and I get to voice my opinion. I’m not required to hop and skip out of the fucking cancer ward to save the world.
“You understand that you and I and everyone alive right now has enjoyed almost 50 years of some of the highest standard of living on the planet.” Yes I do understand that after WWII we were the only country that hadn’t had our infrastructure bombed to living fuck-all and we were in a unique position to get a stranglehold on the world economy, and that included Reagan supporting coups in South America to get friendly dictators installed so we could exploit the living shit out of them for our gain. I don’t exactly feel good about that history, and frankly, neither should you. It was a fluke on the worldwide stage and our shithole country is spiraling into stagnation because we never had a plan beyond exploiting the third world. We’re losing that high standard of living right the fuck now, despite the Democrats “doing the right thing.” Amazon is literally about to sue the NLRB out of existence! Literally fuck-none of that has anything to do with Presidential immunity other than proving we need to be able to prosecute Presidents for crimes like that. I don’t care how great our quality of life has been if it’s been at the expense of other countries and their democracies. America isn’t the center of the fucking universe. The amount of times it has been abused is too god damned high.
All I hope is that if Trump wins, your defense of doing it “the right way” comes back to haunt you when the brownshirts come for us all. Having chosen the “lawful good” path won’t save you once Trump is in charge.
