It wouldn’t have happened but they also won’t lift a finger to punish those who did it.

i mean trump did get convicted in NY state... and the cases in georgia and florida were strong

Let's not forget that the florida case ran out the clock with a corrupt judge by the name of aileen cannon who showed clear favorable bias towards trump in every single ruling. Multiple ruling had to be appealed and overturned by republican appellate panels.

Yeah no one was punished in either of these instances. Exactly as planned. There is no rule of law for the government. Mind blowing that people still believe there is

my point is... the democrats were definitely pursuing actions. Republicans interfered and ran out the clock. Then the voters re-elected the guy who was convicted and still actively indicted.

What do you want them to do differently?

Maybe enforce the law??

Democrats let republicans just blatantly ignore courts and then just throw their hands up and say they tried their best.

They literally will let people lie to congress and issue 0 punishment. The Democrats have 0 interest in punishing Republicans. Those are their friends and they’re will protect as they have consistently done.

There is zero room in AOC's heart for any republicans. full stop lol.

The only way to do what you want is for democrats to also just start ignoring everything with regards to the judicial system and go full blown authoritarian. Which... maybe we need at this point, idk. Seems like an awfully slippery slope thi.

Hungary seems to be recovering tho... still early days.

They already ignore the judicial system lol.

Lying to congress or ignoring subpoenas should put people in jail. Instead Democrats just move on sand say they tried their best.

Idk how you can honestly believe the Democratic Party has any interest in holding Republicans accountable. Their actions consistently show they will protect them

they literally pursued trump in 3 distinct court cases. one resulted in 30+ convictions. The other two were defeated by republican delay tactics. Why are we ignoring these unprecedented efforts?

Biden installed an AG who he knew would make no attempt to go after the first Trump Administration.

If you consider what happened over the last 5ish years to an “unprecedented” effort then you have 0 expectations of your government.
