    The President has historically had wide latitude to act in times of emergency. The instigator of the insurrection should’ve been in Gitmo on January 21, 2021.

    Sure, call me extremist, but look at where we are now. I’m fucking right. But, barring the correct action, Biden could’ve followed the moderate, decorous course of launching the prosecution that day. But no, it took TWO. GOD. DAMN. YEARS.

    I’m so done with Democrat excuses.

      I think, in principle, the president persecuting his predecessor and current political rival is bad. Much simpler a solution is to not disrupt his criminal investigation by electing him president, but instead we’re a country of assholes who can’t even show up to the polls to keep him out.
