Yup.
You can kiss Trump ever seeing consequences for his crimes goodbye.
Welcome to the new America.
Elections have consequences and Americans are simply too stupid to maintain a democracy. So we won’t have one much longer.
Trump didn’t see any consequences in the old America either.
Relevant username is relevant.
Not happening at all, but the only hope for accountability is a massive blue wave in 2026 followed by an immediate impeachment. Even then that’s just early retirement.
But why?
Make the fascist fire you.
- Because his job will now never be completed
- Because this also slightly diminishes the possibility that he’ll be politically prosecuted by the incoming admin - though to be clear, I fully expect the Trump DoJ to make Smith’s life a living hell, and to throw him in jail if they can, and perhaps even execute him if they can figure out how to kangaroo court things to that degree. That is not a joke. This is an entirely serious comment.
Why have a trial? SCOTUS already ruled President Trump is a king and can kill anyone so long as it’s an official act.
We are entering the beginning stages of fascism people. Hold onto your butts.
Google is already testing the Lügenpresse filter.

I understand the sentiment, but it will never happen. Killing “Whites”, especially whites named “Jack Smith” is bad for optics. Now Letitia James and Fani Willis is another story entirely. If I was either one of them I’d be getting my ass on a plane to someplace with a non-extradition treaty post haste.
Nazis make new in-groups and out-groups all the time. Loyalty way overshadows race in this case.

Tldr; Every other possibility ends in dismissal with prejudice. Dropping it leaves it potentially reviewable in 4 years. It’s still highly unlikely anything happens.
Came here to post this. Legal Eagle breaks it down proper here.
Thanks for this.
Because the cause for his appointment no longer exists. The OLC memo regarding the prosecution of sitting Presidents means that Smith’s appointment is frustrated at its most basic level of inception.
The Fascists will fire people with firing squads, there’s no shame in an act of self preservation when resigning from a job you can’t do might keep you alive.
Because he’s a nazi supporter, and was ineffective on purpose.
just wait till Jack see’s all the new crimes trump is gonna commit, he’ll be back in business in a few years
Dog… just stop with the copium. It’s embarrassing. Trump will never answer for his crimes, period. This should be abundantly clear after 8 years of flopped motions against him.
No Mueller report, no special council, no hush money case… is ever going to stop this guy.
Give up on the idea of justice against this dude and start preparing for his dictatorship.
“Won’t somebody [redacted] of this [redacted] p[olitician]?” unfortunately seems like our only escape hatch. I wish the two time travelers had better success in their missions. I am not confident the future resistance has enough resources to send a third, but one can hope.
The Supreme Court already rules that not only is Trump all but immune from prosecution, but that he can’t even be investigated or questioned over it.
So if Trump were to make a phone call and say “Yes, we’re going to sign this into law, and schedule a meeting about that other thing. Oh, and have Tom Hanks killed in a hail of bullets, kthxbye.”, the fact that he ordered Tom Hanks killed might be prosecutable. The problem is that even if they know he ordered Tom Hanks killed, they legally can’t even ask him about it because it happened during an official phone call.
Trump could go on a crime spree that would make the Mafia legitimately look like choir boys, and Jack Smith…well, Jack Smith isn’t going to be able to do Jack about it.
January 20, 2025 isn’t a swearing in ceremony. It’s a coronation.
yep, I hate it but at least it’s starting to sink in. come jan. we are in a functional trump dictatorship. there are no checks and balances left, the court assured so and with the legislative branch under his control, the single, only hope we have is that he’s too hilariously inept to be effective.
Leave it up to moderate liberals to roll over and die. Way to signal his kingship guys, fucking top notch pick, that Merrick Galand. To think this ineffective dipshit was considered for SCOTUS. Literally a direct historical correlation to the rise of Hitler through ineffective and complacent liberalism from the socialist party. I guess when you construct a DOJ that doesn’t prosecute billionaires the whole thing short circuits when the tyrant is one… who could have predicted that except every leftist and historian?
I’d quit too. America was too stupid to not vote trump in again, so why the hell martyr yourself for half a country of clowns when it gains you nothing?
We have a socialist party?
The Republicans sure think so lmao
“COMMUNIST MARXIST FASCISTS” are our preferred pronouns according to Shitler.
No, and neither did Germany.
Maybe I’m not getting something here, but why do you think Germany didn’t have a socialist party?
Because at the time of the Nazi takeover, the party with that name was wholly operating as a rubber stamp to the most extremist right wing elements taking hold of their party. “The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea” is similarly nondescriptive as “German Worker’s Party” later purposely misleadingly named to “National Socialist German Workers’ Party” after Hitlers rise.
Ah I see. Yes, no doubt the NSDAP wasn’t socialist but that doesn’t mean Germany didn’t have socialist parties back then. E.g. the social democrats were still marxist, iirc.
As an aside it is very saddening that people really think the nazis were leftists because of the name. That’s just a level of stupidity I can’t fathom to comprehend.
There are rules for us, not them.
I think you should leave
The Darkest Brandon move would be to remove the DOJ policy on not investigating sitting Presidents. Many of these cases were clearly not under Presidential Immunity, and some weren’t even done while Trump was President. That should have consequences regardless of getting the job back or not.
The darkest Brandon would be [redacted]
I still don’t understand how this is an official DOJ policy. I always see it referenced as a DOJ memo from the 70s. Who gives a shit about memos? This is supposed to be a country of laws, not 50 year old memos.
But yeah, would love Garland to issue a new memo overturning that policy. Let Trump’s first official act be to overturn an existing policy to prevent him from being investigated. Not saying he would even hesitate to do it, just saying I’d like to make it an explicit step he has to take.
Legal memoranda are not just an interoffice note. They are policy interpretations and internally-governing documents. The memorandum is from the Office of Legal Counsel which is an independent subdepartment — neither Garland or the President himself can overturn the policy.
Thanks for the clarification. I’m glad that presidents can’t just overturn Justice Department policy when they want.
Wish we had a remind me bot so I can check this comment in 4 years and see if that’s still the case.
It won’t be. Because: fuck everything
That’s government for you. If the 50 year old memo is the only thing that talks about it, then that’s the basis forever. There’s so much stuff like this that there’s an actual legal term for ignoring it: Desuetude. But that’s usually for things much, much older than that, and they would have been actively ignored for almost as long.
Darkest Brandon should have Trump [redacted]
Why? Prosecutors dogged Clinton for 8 years.
Thanks for all your hard work. Very meaningful.
The people clearly made their choice and intentions known. It’s a shame.
I dont think republicans picking whos vote gets counted and throwing all the rest away really counts as ‘people made their choice’
Are you suggesting that the difference in results is purely because votes were tossed? Yea voters rolls purged and gerrymandering, but the left didn’t show up, and that’s why Trump won. He has by all accounts more supporters than Harris did, and they made their choice.
GOP have voter suppression down to a science at this point, if dems continue to do nothing about it they’ll never win anything ever again
The suspicious part was several states experienced a ton of people who voted for Trump, but voted straight Democrat downticket.
Stop acting like MAGA. I live in North Carolina. The state has voted Dems on the state level and Republicans on the federal level consistently since 2016. Even Trump distanced himself from Robinson after his Black Nazi porn shit came out.
So what your telling me is the guy who cheated in 2016 (proven in court) and cheated in 2020 (we all heard it) Definitely didnt cheat this time…
ok got it.
And in case you missed it, criminal and rapist trump just nominated child rapist Matt Gatez to be attorney General, in case you were wondering how everything is going.
It the US its becoming clear that the elected officials pick their voters, not the other way around as it should be. And yes both sides do it, but one side does it a Lot more.
