forget the judiciary, the DoJ didnt even charge Trump for the insurrection until late last year. It's been in the hands of the courts way less time than in the hands of DoJ.
That (iirc) Harvard professor specialized in fascism wrote that we cannot count on institutions for protection. We’ve seen that institutions, including the judiciary, can be taken over and corrupted. Trump has stated multiple times that one of his first acts as president will be to basically clear the decks of the federal government and fire all of the non-Trumpist personnel. His lawyer even argued that the president can break any law, up to and including murder, and impeachment is the only process to hold them accountable. I’m not even sure how that’s supposed to work, since then they could arrest or kill everyone in Congress who would support their impeachment.
Basically, we’re fucked.
I mean… do they want political assassinations? Because that’s how you get political assassinations.
if USA decides Trump is a criminal before November 2024, let him decay in jail.
Otherwise, Biden, with absolute immunity, should kill Trump for democracy's sake.
After this, Biden has to declare to be culprit of murder and argue he has to be accountable for this crime so USA doesn't fall into fascism. This would end the madness of presidential absolute immunity.
Biden would go down as one of the most important presidents that way. But probably he’s just going to remain Not Trump, which is the next best realistic thing I guess.
I feel very strongly that the judicial system will fail the American people in convicting this treasonous shitbag.
I've said from the very beginning, he will never face justice.
All according to their plan. Trump appoints corrupt Christofascist judges. Corrupt Christofascist judges try to delay all rulings until AFTER a Trump re-election, when he'll pardon himself of all crimes. Empowered by said judges and their absolutely bonkers at times interpretations of law, Trump can then inflict the Christofascist regime (Project 2025) on the United States populace. This is a hostile right-wing takeover of the United States government.
