What good is being president if you can’t instruct your justice department to investigate the woman you raped? Excuse me! I thought this was America!
Actually she is his adjudicated rape victim, not accuser
CNN is owned by a MAGA billionaire shithead and the use of the word “accuser” instead of “sexual assault survivor” is likely intentional.
Make corporate media responsible for spreading misinformation again.
MCMRFSMA!
Rolls off the tongue like a fine … rusty school bus.
Literal political weaponization to go after a victim of your leader. The Republican party is so despicable…
Imagine thinking deplorable doesn’t define a republican, especially with actions like these and days like Jan 6th under their belt.
Accuser makes it sound like he was not found guilty of rape. If Trump is not impeached the US will be rightly viewed as an autocratic banana republic.
I feel like we blew past banana republic a while back and are onto deciding whether we’re a nation of laws at all anymore. The idea that the US is a democracy is laughable.
The fact that democracy put us here is what’s laughable.
to be fair, the amerikkkan version of democracy has always been corperatocracy or christocracy… never was or ever will it be real democracy
Thanks for edgelord nonsense. The US is, by definition, a democracy.
sure it is, poors get one set of laws and rich get the other, as is tradition for the “roman model” of governance
It’s still a Democracy as long as we have elections. Once MAGA cancels elections, it’s Civil War.
it’s Civil War.
Unless there’s something better on TV.
Oh, we’ll have elections.
They are just trying to decide how convincing they can get away with making it look like a free and fair election without letting it actually be free and fair.
Putin for example has decided that 88% support is “close enough” to a free and fair election… for now.
how convincing they can get away with making it look like a free and fair election
I believe all elections in the US going forward will be putin style elections, the rethugs will just issue a decree that the supreme leader won again and this time he going 95% of the votes. All hail king turd
You think Congress has the power to enforce an impeachment even if they rule that way? We’re beyond banana and full mango.
Accuser makes it sound like he was not found guilty of rape
He wasn’t. It was a civil lawsuit. He was found liable.
Guilty and Liable are just different legal words for different kinds of cases, but they both mean the same thing:
HE DID IT!
but they both mean the same thing
No, they don’t. Being intentionally stupid doesn’t help your cause.

Frankly, the continuing inaction to do nothing at all to even admonish the administration for openly corrupt behavior turning everything into a personal benefit for trump is depressing even if someone implemented ‘other methods’.
As bad as Trump is, it’s more worrying that no one is even vaguely willing to go along with ousting him. The handful of GOP that was even vaguely on the fence has been ousted at this point. Since the supreme court has ruled that openly politically aligned and outright racist districting is ok, and challenges about each state’s districting are only ever valid if the challenge would strike down a democrat plan…
First he raped her. Then he violated her. Now he will try to kill her. I want her on a coin.
She should get the entire slush fund.
^ This.
Cannot wait to see some reporter or politician ask Todd Blanche if she’s eligible for the money.

Fuck you
we skidded out of that timeline years ago. there’s no way back.
Skibidi’d out of that timeline
STOP. CALLING. IT. THE. JUSTICE. DEPARTMENT.
It is the JUSTIFICATION Department.
Persecution department? Department of litigation?
Federal Bureau of Payback.
Phantom Limb voice: “THE REVENGE SOCIETY”
A better word is Rationalization, but it doesn’t fit your justice/justification construction.
While both words involve giving reasons for an action, to justify means to prove that an action is right, moral, or valid. To rationalize means to invent socially acceptable or seemingly logical excuses for an action after the fact to make it appear reasonable.
It is the Department of Rationalization.
But “Department of Justification” is still “DoJ”.
I hear ya. I only recently discovered the difference between the two words, and I love using them in their proper context.
Every day, worse.
It really is fucking astounding how every day finds a way to be worse than the one before…
As it will, until people organize and push back.
Will you have more capability to do that tomorrow, or less?
“And then, things got worse”, used to be a joke about the arc of Russian history. Things sure have changed quickly.
The GOP just HATES the law. They must despise having a Constitution which establishes a country of laws since they allow this kind of autocratic dictator shit to keep going on under their seal of approval.
Wilholt’s law:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
The irony of him drawing more attention to this through his vendetta.
He isn’t smart enough to think things through to the next step. We all know that he’s not played 4D chess

He even got “cow” and “giraffe” right, I heard him brag. So about a 3 year olds level of cognition.
Thousands for all we know. But we do know he isn’t fucking stupid enough to brag about it.
Attention and then… what? There’s no consequences for this horrible man or his administration’s illegal acts. I console myself by hoping victims get justice in the next life…
What can we do? You’re exactly right but we as the people need to claw onto what little power we still have.
True. Sorry for being defeatist. We definitely have to resist. Shit just sucks…
Good thing they just created a fund for people who are victims of a weaponized justice system.

Hasn’t he given her enough money? You already know she’s unforgivably litigious, so you give her another reason to sue, after the judge inevitably throws out this case, like they’ve thrown out every one of these cases?
He hasn’t paid a cent
And it sounds a lot like you’re accusing her of being vexatious
Why the fuck shouldn’t she be vexatious? Doesn’t that just mean angry? I think she’s justified in being angry.
Vexatious in this contexts implies vexatious litigation which is a form of abuse against the legal system and very much what he wants people to think she’s doing
But isn’t he initiating this litigation?
The law is not written in stone. Different DOJ’s interpret things differently, from other DOJ’s. That is why a “well-written” law is ambiguous, so it can potentially generate large amounts of legal costs and fees.
OK, but if she wins again Trump gets hanged. Deal?
Nah, the fix is in. Trump’s administration doesn’t even pretend to be on the up and up. Openly corrupt and the conservative wing has lost its mind more than usual to approve the behavior, whether it’s in courts or congress.
They are going to toss her in prison for daring to inconvenience dear leader.
This justice department is very incompetent. The only political prosecution they ever got to a trial I can remember is the guy who threw a sandwich at one of their thugs, and the jury threw that shit out.
Everything else has been dismissed because this is the worst bunch of lawyers to ever lawyer.
2 years ago, career attorneys with decades of experience would drop everything to get a job in the justice department because it was so prestigious. Now they’re having trouble recruiting kids straight out of law school graduating at the bottom of their class.
And federal judges are DONE with these clowns. It’s not just a presumption of innocence for the defendant. The justices’s default assumptions are increasingly that the justice department is actively lying.
I didn’t rape that woman, I only rape children. I didn’t loose the 2020 election. My very fine phone call with Georgia proves that. 🫲🍊🫱
Will no one rid us of this turbulent
priestTodd Blanche?God I’m so sick of this entire corrupt administration and their fucking childish vindictive bullshit.
