The president has taken shots at Trump over a number of issues in recent months, but he has stayed largely silent on the four separate indictments against his predecessor.
Member that time when Al Gore said yeah we don’t want Bill Clinton to campaign for us?
Man if I was trying to pop enough republiQan heads in whatever states, I’d be harping on Don the Con non-stop. 100 different ads about what a lying, low-life loser he is.
Member when they went low and we went high? Red America is so far down the sewer, pretending they’re not is just a flat-out mistake. My 2¢.
Why? The MEGA lot are not a bunch of people who are known for thinking skills. Trump is their Messiah, they’re not going to listen to anything Biden has to say.
The people who think that Trump is an idiot already think he’s an idiot and continuously pointing this out won’t change anything.
I guess the risk is galvanizing the already red-faced cult that exists in support of Trump. Would it be worth convincing those conservatives left of the MAGAts to drop the Trump train if it meant giving the cult all the red meat it could ever want?
This really goes to show the precariousness of the system…the Justice Department theoretically controlled by the President is investigating someone running against him. One more reason Biden is showing himself as up for the job, this takes some tact.
But I don’t know what the alternative system is. If the Justice Dept is fully independent (like, another branch of government) then it prevents the conflict of interest to some extent but you can still get Supreme Court style ideological takeover that could be biased or accused of bias. In some states the AG is a stepping stone to higher office, certainly the AG could run for President and there would still be a conflict.
There’s a constitutional reason the justice department falls under the president. It is a function of the executive branch, from Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution: “…shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed…”. The DoJ is the enforcement arm of the executive branch.
Focusing in on the Trump campaign would just detract from their main audience, so they might as well leave it be. Everybody knows what's going on with him anyways
does not need to only has to lie his ass off about anything just like Trump and people bow down at the vote box
climate change, voting rights, bodily autonomy, protecting protected wildlife areas, etcetera he promised it all what about cop city or oil drilling on Native Sacred Land doubling as protected wildlife area he greenlit to be drilled for oil
where are the real candidates? Jill Stein was tied to a chair by Obama for wanting to debate with everyone else the person who Biden ran as vice president with Bernie ran and embodied all of what the “democrats” supposedly stood for
not able to vote btw Biden took mine and others away through a series of laws voted on jointly by republicans over the decades F##K THE DEMOPUBLICANS
Remember that time Trump had toilet paper stuck to his shoe and he walked all the way to his jet, in full view of the world, and even then, no one told him? I think about that sometimes and I just laugh and laugh…
I’m Czech so I don’t take parts in politics of the USA. You don’t have to either cause it doesn’t matter. Corporations controll your politics anyway… Left, right, middle, they care only about power and money.
The word you were looking for is ‘teaching’. You’ll have to forgive me for not taking the opinion of somebody who doesn’t know the difference between those two words very seriously.
It also gives them no ammo to say this is all some liberal attack. Even though they’ll still keep saying it is. Reality doesn’t often play a part in the cult of his followers.
It also would be a bit inappropriate I think, given that it’s his Executive branch that’s prosecuting him in a number of these cases. Even though it sure seems like he’s maintaining distance from the Justice dept and allowing them their independence (unlike his predecessor), the optics of a President using the Justice dept to attack a political opponent, then using it in political campaign attacks would look kinda bad. The Georgia case though I think would be fair game, but better to just let that case speak for itself and not potentially influence it.
I agree. Pretty much everybody knows about the cases by now, and you’re either sane and are looking at the very least waiting to see how this plays out in court or you’re a trump supporter and assume the system’s rigged against him anyway. I see more of a chance of it backfiring by trying to capitalize in the indictments than getting more people on his side.
