Yeah, we know. But it's not like Congress or SCOTUS is doing anything to stop him. Or even slow him down.

Yeah, no shit. If only one of us had been in a position of power to try to prevent this…
Then why didn’t you put him in prison you useless cancer-hiding fuckhead?
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the reason we don’t put people like ex presidents in prison cuz there’s a higher chance they’ll get petty and leak info to another country or is that just an excuse I heard by people trying to justify it?
Trump's bathroom leaks information, regardless of whether Trump is prosecuted.
Excuse, for sure. There's any number of slimy "protect the rich and powerful" excuses all over the place. Fuck all the excuses, no one is above the law and no one gets to hold the country hostage.
I get that I just wasn’t sure if it’s like that’s why they don’t stay in prison but still get charged with felonies. I do wish we could choose to punish political opponents tho like public hanging if convicted
~~try to~~
Fuck you for not stopping it Joe.
I remember reading for four years that Merrick Garland was just making sure his T's were crossed and his I's dotted before putting Trump away. Whoopsie.
The worst part about this was, at the time many believed that to be true.
But it was never even in the works
Well he did defeat medicare.
NO SHIT SHERLOCK
grandpa has escaped containment
He should shut the fuck up. That fucking hump is responsible for this.
When he took over, he immediately launched a Covid Vaccine program and an Economic Stimulus program that were both far more successful than predicted. For that, he could have landed in the top 10-15 of presidents.
But he had to do a decent job for the rest of his presidency, which mainly included dealing with MAGA as the National Security Threat they are. He had just seen Trump launch an Insurrection. That would have been enough for him to step off the podium after being sworn in, and say "Round them ALL up, and ship them to Guantanamo for interrogation. We'll sort them out there."
If he'd done that, we would have found out about the False Electors Plot, AND his Stolen Classified Documents Operation. That's THREE separate cases of sedition and treason, and more than enough for him to get the noose.
Rounding them up would have suppressed the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and allowed the Dems to better control the messaging going into the 2024 election.
Instead, Biden basically checked out of the job after announcing his Covid and Stimulus programs, and stupidly appointed the most feckless Republican to be his AG, perhaps the STUPIDEST Democratic Presidential decision in modern history, who dithered and slow-walked Trump's treason cases as long as he could, giving him a two year head start to run out the clock, which he did, successfully.
In addition, he ignored the many warnings, many coming from the mouths of the criminals themselves, that they intended to rig the election and steal the presidency, and Biden allowed them to do it in front of the entire world, without any interference at all. And when they did, he went along with the ridiculous concept that Trump won the election "fair & square."
The American voters fired MAGA decisively, and expected the new Democratic administration to clean up the mess. Instead of getting justice for America, they tried to make friends with feral animals, and got eaten alive. For his weakness and cowardice, allowing MAGA to rise again, Biden's legacy is in the toilet, and will he will be buried in the bottom 10 of all presidents.
Biden betrayed us, and he's lucky that he won't be joining the MAGAs against the wall with the rest of them. He deserves the firing squad as much as any of them.
100% THIS
The Dems are complicit and criminally inept by design and top-down decision-making, they fucking allowed this. We are here as much by the dirty players, Project 2025 puppet-masters as the DNC itself.
Fuck the entire two-party charade.

Golly, if only someone could have prevented this...
Well, maybe the voters could. Well, I guess not.
Maybe you should have done your job and had him executed for treason
Had him tried for treason. Calling directly for execution implies that he is guilty. Which everyone is entitled to a fair trial. He didn’t even give him a trial. It was a complete abortion of justice in all aspects to let it go un acknowledged.
This is the right answer. If you are in a position if power, the consequences for your actions should be ten times more than a civilian.
Instead, all they really ever need to do is step-down and get a high-paid consulting job and for some reason that’s enough.
Absolute insanity.

Well it seems there’s evidence musk stole the last one and nobody is doing shit about it
Idk if voting harder is the best strategy when the opponent wants to steal an election.
Edit: Since most discussion still focuses on voting, here are some ideas you could do instead / additionally:
- (general) strike / walk outs
- riots
- do what the yellow vests in France did and shut down the economy by blockading important logistical routes
- get inspired by indigenious resistance and shut down the US like they did with Canada by shutting down key freight train routes
- squat public spaces like was down in occupy wall street
- do property destruction of republican infrastructure
- take university campus like it was done during free palestine protests
- show solidarity with those imprisoned now and those that will be in the future
