I’ve never seen someone get so many free passes for the stuff he does.
This is less a “free pass” so much as all things going to plan.
Cannon is a trump appointed croney who has been delaying the trial and doing everything in her power to protect trump. And now the supreme court gave them an out and she instantly took it.
This is literally what republicans have been working toward for decades. Immunity by corrupting the government at every level.
Doesn’t it kind of feel as if this has reached some sort of end game here? Previously, it has always felt like - yeah, they play dirty, but they keep their bullshit contained to reasonable levels. But recently, it’s just been one absolute blatantly democracy-shattering decision one after another.
There’s been a concerted effort to infiltrate and influence politics by conservative Christians for years. I think events like the Brook Brothers riot emboldened dropping the thin veil of the Democratic process as they saw you can literally steal an election and no one will do anything about it. The real test of what the people will tolerate is only beginning, I fear.
Because we played right into their hand, the have been telegraphing this for years. All of their bullshit has been slowly ramping up for years, slowly getting more unreasonable but compared to everything else they’ve done it’s really not that much worse. Now that they were able to completely set the field they can move on the they’re end game. And I’m not sure we can stop them now.
Yes, because they are a) at the tipping point where they control enough institutions so the pieces fall together now, and b) someone came along who’s actually used all those pieces and everyone could see how absolutely unprepared and completely helpless the system and the political opponent was. They realized they don’t need to tiptoe around anymore.
Honestly for a long time I was really hopeful that the fact that he was doing it out in the open and everyone could see that he was abusing the hell out of every little loophole he could find, and creating some new ones, would mean that we’d start closing those loopholes when he was out of office and we might even see an era of reform.
He’s been out of office for 4 years and all the courts have managed to do is LEGALIZE HIS MISCONDUCT!
I feel like I’m finally starting to except our collective fate and now there’s nothing left to do but watch it burn down around us.
