You're Damn Right I'm Angry!
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/11/youre-damn-right-im-angry.htmlThis was the most heinous attack on American government since the Civil War. In all honesty, those who participated in it should have had their citizenship revoked, and required to go through the process of learning about the constitution, like foreigners who want to become citizens, before being allowed back into American society.
The inability of the justice department to take that evidence, make a case with it and get it moving in a timely fashion is simply inexcusable incompetence. I'm angry at the foot-dragging, delaying obfuscation that went on at the DOJ for a couple of reasons. One is because we were left with the impression that they were moving as quickly as they could, given the deliberate and cumbersome nature of a legal system slanted to favor the rich who can afford good legal representation that slows down the process and makes a strategy out of interminable delays and legal minutia. The other is because they were lying about it, and they weren't actually doing anything at all, and had it not been for this being discovered, almost a year later in the process, and there having been a public outcry over it, no charges might ever have been filed against Trump for leading an insurrection.
And this is where my anger burns a bit hotter. The prime narrative of the Biden campaign, and his administration, along with his aims for re-election, emphasized that Trump was an existential threat to American democracy, and that the coming elections were crucial to the preservation of our democracy and the most consequential of our lifetime. Yet, they had the power, and the evidence, to have Trump permanently declared ineligible for public office by charging him with insurrection and making that verdict stick, because that's all it would have taken and it would have been the easiest case to prove.

I still cannot fucking believe he skated on this.
It's a good piece, but how come no one signed their name to it? It looks a piece from an opinion board but it's reliance of the first person singular ("I'm angry"
suggests this really should carry a byline.
1. The motto of the Washington Post has been, "Democracy dies in darkness."
2. Personal agenda "trumps" public good.
This lemming spent 4 years prosecuting absolute nobody's who tried to take down democracy at the behest of criminals and traitors not even indicted, protected billionaires from bitcoin theft, and protected the person responsible for a million deaths from revenge by Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
3. God's prophets profits are completely won over by "The Enchantments of Mammon," by Mammon's poster boy,
private jets and molesting children. (It's libertarianism. "You got power, you use it." )
THIS is America's God. (give or take a few folks)
4. I call "four horsemen", the coming together of
• Oligarchs
• Politicians who pander for the money they dangle,
• So-called "pastors" who seek secular power when their victorian message died on the vine in the 60's. ☮️
• The GOP's BFF, racism, racism, racism, racism, and more racism.
