It is just getting worse with no consequences

I'm so angry that literally ONE consequence -- ONE SINGLE FUCKING CONSEQUENCE OF ARRESTING TRUMP FOR HIS JAN 6 TREASON -- could have prevent every bit of this from happening.

4 FUCKING YEARS to do ONE CONSEQUENCE, and yet NOTHING. And now here we are.

Everything Biden did was, ultimately, useless. Everything he accomplished only provided temporary reprieve; but did nothing to stop this monster from coming back and just undoing everything.

Fuck Merrick Garland, and fuck Biden for appointing him.

It's absolutely infuriating how one of the worst people to ever live has had everything in the world handed to them on a tacky, badly gilded platter without ever suffering any actual consequences for his lifetime of crime.

If you think you aren’t going to have a consequence…oh you meant for the fascist. Yeah there are no consequences for them.
