Summary

Former federal prosecutor Sara Levine, fired by Trump, warned on 60 Minutes that the Justice Department is “under attack.”

Levine, who prosecuted January 6 rioters, said she was fired for upholding the law.

Legal expert Peter Keisler criticized Trump’s pardons of Capitol rioters, arguing they signal that crimes committed in support of Trump’s agenda may go unpunished.

These actions undermine the rule of law and discouraging accountability for political violence.

    So, we agree. There was no other option except Harris and people didn’t vote for Harris because they decided it was more important to blame the Dems then fight the actual fascist.

    But yes, I’m sure that the same folks who couldn’t get Bernie nominated in 2016, 2020, and 2024 will become political savants now and organize a powerful third party in less than 24 months.

      I think you’re looking at it from the wrong angle. The problem is that the moderate libs have consistently shut down third party and leftist options for the last few decades. Since the Democrats haven’t had any competition, they have abandoned their constituency, and now work exclusively for corporate interests. By constantly voting for the “lesser evil”, you have allowed them to blossom into an evil that the average American cannot distinguish from fascism.

      I’m not expecting anyone to organize anything. At this point, I’m just pulling up a chair to watch the collapse. But good job insulting the Bernie Bros who tried to pull you out of this downward spiral, it’s good to know that the center will punch left no matter what.

        , I’m just pulling up a chair to watch the collapse.

        Sounds like you have a pretty privileged position in the world.

        Don’t have to worry about educating kids, or grandparents losing social security, or anything else.

        BTW, I was a Bernie bro who contributed to him three times. I got to watch that money do nothing because people like you were sitting, waiting for the collapse.

          Oh, I’m going to die, I just don’t care anymore. Humanity is going to filter itself out, and good riddance.

            Yes, you certainly sound like the sort of person to take advice from.

            Good luck with the teenage angst.
