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.

    Lmao if you get a primary. Trump wasnt the one who took that away from you last time, and he wasnt the one who screwed over bernie before that. Good job pointing to the two token progressives as if that doesnt prove the other guy’s point.

      Keep saying both sides are the same enough, maybe you can convince yourself.

        Thats literally not what im saying. Im saying you all should have demanded the democrats be better, not just pledged your undying devotion because they arent as bad. But keep blaming everyone except the politicians who fucked you, thats turning out great.

          What is your actual plan?

          I know the Dem I want to run against the current GOP Congressperson in 2026.

          What are you planning on doing? Going to get a 3rd Party up and running in 24 months?

            No, probably not unfortunately. But if you had all listened to the people sounding the alarm about the democrats years ago that might have worked. If you all hadnt spend so much energy attacking undecided and pro palestine voters a year before the election even happened, and instead directed some of that energy into pressuring the democratic party, whoch was what the whole undecided movement was about, then maybe the democrats would have changed direction and not shifted so much further right and lost the election because of it. Your constant apologetics for terrible party leadership is causing you to lose any small influence you may have had. But also yes, its probably worth getting a 3rd party going at this point even if they aren’t immediately viable, because you’ll never see meaningful change otherwise.

              So, you don’t have a plan or any idea of what to do besides try and get good Dems elected?

              But yes, let’s keep harping on the past instead of moving forward, because not doing anything always works.
