Summary

Former federal prosecutor Sara Levine, fired by Trump, warned on 60 Minutes that the Justice Department is “under attack.”

Levine, who prosecuted January 6 rioters, said she was fired for upholding the law.

Legal expert Peter Keisler criticized Trump’s pardons of Capitol rioters, arguing they signal that crimes committed in support of Trump’s agenda may go unpunished.

These actions undermine the rule of law and discouraging accountability for political violence.

        Honestly, it’s hard to fault politically disconnected people who feel that way. The democrats are just the ratchet strap that keeps us from going any further left while the republicans drag us farther right. The GOP also has a literal firehose of constant media drenching the working class while the democrats just suck on the corporate peepee. I voted for harris this time because it was the lesser evil but i am starting to understand how someone who doesn’t pay attention winds up voting for trump.

        The main difference is one smiles at you while stabbing you in the back, and the other laughs at you while gutting you.

        Either way, you’re dead.

        Both sides aren’t the same because they’re just as bad, they’re the same because they work together. Dems haven’t made meaningful changes in a long time and I’m done supporting them while they do nothing. They are complicit.

          So, what’s your plan to stop Trump?

          Going to create a viable 3rd party in 24 months?
