    Democrats: Ha! Just you wait! We’re so ready to “look to the future, not the past” and let them get away with everything like we always do!

      Except this time they won’t have to talk just their own citizens into that idea. A lot of countries are pissed at the US, and they won’t forget it anytime soon.

      Tariffs, wars, insults and threats of invasion, those things will have to be addressed before the relationship can be mended.

        This. The US of magastan are screwing over the whole world and not many are willing to keep going with this. Hell, even Italy’s Meloni, a fascist fuck that idolized the orange pedohitler, is starting to say that dealing with it is harder than she thought.

        When the orange fuck finally croaks, there will be a worldwide party and many of the assholes in that administration will realize that if they ever leave the power, they will face several consequences because the world will demand them if the US wants to be considered relevant again.

      I’m still legitimately surprised Biden didn’t pardon Trump to “Let the nation heal”, though I guess slow walking his prosecution was his quiet verison of that

        However much I hate it, he followed the “right” way of handling the DOJ in that he didn’t request anything or interfere with anything. We don’t want the president having direct control over the DOJ in that way. What he did fuck up with though was picking Merrick Garland, the biggest fucking coward this country has ever seen. He didn’t want to be seen as “being political” so he dragged his ass on starting the investigation until it was too late and Trump could play the delay delay delay game :/

        When you have a president that interferes with the DoJ, it looks exactly like what Trump is doing right now.

        An independent DoJ is the sole reason why his first term was not full of retaliatory prosecutions. But he learned what he needed to do to rig it, and then did so. And now we have what we have. Is that really what you want out of the US going forward?

        I do NOT want a DoJ that a president interferes with, period. If it’s only “justice” for some, it’s NOT justice.
