Now, Daria. Now. And let’s all breathe for one second and remember that he is NOT in the White House. The plume of stench from his regime is still in the air, but it’s clearing. Can you feel it?

I said earlier Merrick Garland has been our Attorney General since March 11th. I cannot help but think he is on it. And our current Vice President is the exact one that posed the question about investigations to Barr. And speaking of Vice Presidents, despicable Pence just squeaked at the quickly decreasing wiggle room he lives in.

And to be quite honest, I’ve always feared who is pulling the strings rather than Trump himself. My focus is that the Justice Dept will bring THAT to light of day. And then the people will make mincemeat of that influence at the polls.

Well Biden needs to throw some $$$ at the DOJ and good people with those skill need to think about going back to work at the DOJ. That kind of “service” is every bit as important as landing on the Beach at Normandy. It is not heroic, there are no medals to be had, it is surely a grind and frustrating, but we desperately need all those hands on deck to straighten our course and do right by the rule of law. Otherwise we are just a freaking banana republic like the rest of them, How did we not learn from the Nixon admin’s shenanigans and do what needed to be done to strengthen our democratic institutions?

Why did we not learn from the Nixon's shenanigans?

Because Ford pardoned Nixon, which communicated that if you are the powerful/rich elite, you will not be held accountable for your misdeeds.

I almost feel nostalgic for Gerald Ford. He was just a party hack, enamored of the status quo, a decent guy without visible vices thinking inside the box, little leadership capacity, not too big on the vision thing, but a breath of fresh air -- well, air freshener -- after Tricky Dicky stunk up the place. The pardon was both the most important and worst thing he did as President. Strange that he survived 2 assassination attempts in the space of 17 days, some sort of record, I guess. Squeaky Fromme: now there's a footnote from history.

No, Christine, I can't. Not because I don't want to but because his puppet masters are still pulling the strings and getting away with crimes against US Americans. His regime walked, unscathed, out of office. They are still turning the screws at the local and state levels where people are at the most vulnerable.

I hear you very clearly. I still say to many, however, AG Garland has been in office just 3 months. The regime is still turning screws, but not as quickly as they did with the former president whipping them to action.

I am anxious to hear our Atty General speak this afternoon.

The trouble is, the powers behind the GQP have been busy setting up ways to overturn the will of the voters at the state level, and the Dem majority in the Senate is so thin that it looks like they will get away with it.

I just felt it, Christine, I just felt it. And the stench of these traitors to our democratic republic is despicable.
