Oh let’s be honest if the Supreme Court or Mitch McConnell had done their jobs if would have never fallen to him. But, he did fail also. Major bummer

Looks like Garland gamed it out perfectly - He had to know the case wasn’t getting to SCOTUS until 2024 if he delayed the SC appointment. I may never have any other image of the Biden Admin in my mind than Biden and Garland standing side by side. Abject failure.

I'm going to repeat my opinion of what's wrong with our country again and again .... our public education system is horrendous. We need to invest in our children's educations. Truthful knowledge is powerful.✌🏼

Truth

I hope Merrick Garland loses his job.

And he did it well. Trump was reelected. He had no intention of going after him or any Republican, but instead went after Biden with a special prosecutor. Said special prosecutor interviewed him, and wrote a report full of lies. Garland didn't want any of it changed.

I remember feeling angry when Obama couldn't get him confirmed. Now I'd never wanna hear his name again!

That’s what this song is about. youtu.be/H_eSXOIGZPI?...

👍🏻👍🏽👍🏼👍🏿👍🏾👍

Yes he had one job and he waited to long to do that one job for the American people

In hindsight, I’m glad he didn’t get confirmed to SCOTUS.

Agree. He should have to live with the legacy he created. One of total failure when the country needed him most.

Let's not forget the Supremacist Court's treason.

Hey Brooklyn Dad, get off X!!

I am so angry.

trump never said one bad word about Merrick Garland personally. It all makes sense now doesn’t it?

the only good thing the turtle ever did was keep that POS off the SCOTUS

He blew it

Yea he did and it wasn’t a job given to him by us

Milquetoast Merrick...

He's on the failicopter headed back to Merrick-Garrrr Land.

Total fail....

I was wondering when garland would be noted for creating the mess. We are now in.

Merrick Garland to all of us rn

Maybe he was frozen with anxiety living under constant MAGA death threats. Now I’m wondering if he would have been the best Supreme Court justice if a threat can alter his job performance.

I believe death threats played a big part in this .. just look at most republicans in the house and senate.. most are afraid of their lives.. Epstein, Ivanna and McConnell’s SIL are examples

It’s going to get 1000 times worse now that the President can put a hit out on “Enemies of the State” with immunity. Everyone will fall in line. Putin taught him the moves and America’s GOP party blindly voted for it.

I agree.. be safe 💙

Then resign.

What a failure !

So did the entire Judiciary, especially SCOTUS. It's not all Garland's fault alone. Throw Aileen Cannon & Judge McAfee in GA & SCOTUS & state judges who allowed him on the ballot. Etc.

So, so disappointed ☹️

And SCOTUS stopped him.

Incompetence galore

Jack Smith is also bad imo

Some of us were saying this over two years ago but no one seemed to want to listen. Biden is “too nice” to fire him. Well here we are.

Well he fucked that up !! And now we all pay the price.

People voted for Trump despite the photos of his leaving classified documents all over the place. Garland can’t save us from ourselves. The disturbing reality is that our fellow citizens choose a criminal authoritarian because “stuff is too expensive.”

I am now convinced Merrick Garland is some kind of sentient slime. He clearly has no spine.

He did do his job. He did the side job the Trump team paid him to do. He just repeatedly called in sick to his main job 😡

Turns out not wanting to appear political is ultimately very politically detrimental to democracy. Who woulda thunk? FTG

Somebody probably needs to look into his background a little bit

His family were Holocaust victims. He was trying to appear unbiased and failed to protect us.

To be fair he did have a couple of more jobs than just this one. But Garland, like so many others, tried so hard not to look partisan that he actually became partisan but to the felon who should’ve never been able to even run for office let alone become President ever again. But yes Garland failed

Merrick Garland is a Republican.

More like a DINO 🤷‍♂️

So incensed about the foot dragging. 🤬

and he fvcking failed big time

👍

There's an alternate universe where Biden chose Jack Smith to be Attorney General.

Mueller Garland Smith Outrageous DISAPPOINTMENTS

I guess it’s a good thing this pussy isn’t on the Supreme Court. At lease we’re not stuck with him in that position.

Biggest pussy to ever be Attorney General 🖕him🤬🤬🤬

And to think I was kinda upset when reps blocked his bench appointment. Just another milktoast liberal.

the onus is the SCOTUS decision. that ship already sailed long ago

The USA just explained to the world that they are no more the leader and protector of democracy or justice. To cede this former strong nation into the hands of criminals, grifters and traitors is unacceptable and just outraging. What in hell happens there? I can´t believe this. I really can´t.

Very possibly “check mate”. The majority of the voting electorate has given a 🟢 to the ultra wealthy without regard to their political motivations. Of course this makes me sick and angry, but I am also powerless… and WE can’t align on the most important issue -> Who controls our destiny? 🥺

He shattered the reputation of the USA and will damage it for a very long time. Disasterous

Sarah Kendzior has some well-considered thoughts on why Garland was a big nothing (from the POV of We the People). He did exactly what we was installed to do (from the POV of the oligarchy).

🎤Me seriously every morning I wake up & realize we gon have to fight this MF off of our rights with 1 hand while Holding our wallet tight with the other one.

This!

SCOTUS gave the immunity.

I want to hate him but can’t. I think he was trying to not appear politically motivated (because he’s not) and unlike Trump, Biden didn’t attempt to direct the DOJ. They just never imagined he’d run again or be seriously considered or I suspect they’d have done things differently.

Even though Trump announced he would be running on November 15, 2022!!!

Right but it wasn’t long after that Smith was appointed. It wasn’t enough time to investigate & prosecute. Remember trumps delay tactics. Same with the classified docs case. My point is they should have taken it seriously and started immediately. Not in 2022.

He literally let a WHOLE nation down

He did exactly what he was PAID to do.

I know. What the heck?!? And after Mueller I had hope as it was a blue administration.

Apparently he had TWO. One was for Trump.

SCOTUS played a part, but his lag launched that failed platform.

Constitutional Law 😢

Eric Holder would have been betterererer.

Yes, but it wasn't the job we wanted him to do. The job Biden hired him to do was restore the DOJ's integrity. It was a fool's errand, but that was his mandate. If Biden wanted an aggressive prosecutor, he wouldn't have chosen a judge.

He was useless like a dry leaf in the fall under a tree. A loser.

My theory? He’s facing treason. If they were busy catching trout, they may have switched to a bigger boat. Kamala just returned from cyber security experts most definitely. She doesn’t vacation. Hopeful that they have enough to send him to Gitmo & using all hands on deck to pull in this whale. 🐳

I can’t believe it! Makes me wonder what he would’ve been like had he become a Supreme Court Judge? 🤷🏻‍♀️

It was also Biden let's be honest

I'm blaming the appeals filed that delayed the trial and judge Cannon plus those who voted for him to keep him out of jail

Merrick Garland was the kid that got kick around on the playground in grade school. He just carried forward to the DOJ. He is feckless.

Do you think if Garland had moved sooner, SCOTUS would've done anything differently?

Such a disappointment....

Why was he kept in that position anywho???🤔🤔🤔

It wasn't even a hard one, since his prime suspect publicly confessed constantly.

He screwed that up right from the start....which was 2 years too late

He's a Heritage Foundation guy. He did do his one job ---- unfortunately.

Shh! @emptywheel.bsky.social might hear you!!!

Follow for follow if you want to #FreePalestine!

No Voters had one job

Garland is and always was spineless. I will never forgive Biden for selecting this scared little man.

Thank God that irresponsible fuck didn’t get on SCOTUS

What are you whining about Merrick Garland for, like he’s the only one who bungled this? Other judges dropped the ball, letting Trump run amok in their courtrooms. The lamestream media sucked up to Trump, too…and they’re STILL doing it. Try complaining about them…maybe they’ll give a damn!🤬

…oh, and give it up for John Roberts, while you’re at it.

…and how could I forget the majority of the electorate? You voted for it, now you’ve got it. Have fun.

The Trojan Horse. He ACTED like he was FOR the law…until he was placed into a position to actually BE the law. Joke was on every one of us in a ‘normal’ tax bracket—WE’D have been jailed and forgotten a long time ago.

Did u see this www.hackingbutlegal.com/p/letter-to-...

@adamschiff.bsky.social is absolutely right!!! Merrick Garland you are an epic failure!

I would have picked Sally Yates. She was ready to go ! Garland along with citizens united, a christian cult filled supreme court failed our nation! History will say this was America at her worst. Our national name has been weakened. We are following the UK into the abyss

#MerrickGarland I blame You!!! Your weakness & inaction after Trump & his mob attacked our Capitol is unforgivable! Trump should have been charged immediately following the impeachment trial! Had you acted quickly,Trump would be headed to Prison, not the White House!

His silence is deafening.

Yeah... there's a big difference between wanting to be thorough and deliberate before you bring cases forward and being just plain negligent in your duties. I believe we are seeing the latter rather than the former.

He should have stepped into office blazing on day 1 given that his actual 1 job was taken from him by McConnell

remember the good old days when the authorities finally chased down mobster al capone & put him away? nowadays they usher the mobster into the white house

Yes but it wasn’t the job your thinking about.

👍🏽

May he rot in hell!

And he BLEW IT!

If Obama had been successful in putting him on the SCOTUS bench he might have joined the conservatives there on every major issue - coz he seems to lack a spine.

I think it was deliberate.

Joe fucked that up BIG time!

bsky.app/profile/theb...

Because, maybe, just maybe, that was his job? To fuck us all up?

They say the wheels of justice turned slowly but inevitably the right thing always happens... I want to believe that to be true...

yep I said that from the beginning he has turned out to be one of the worst ag’s in recent memory! unbelievable

Justice should have delivered a review, BEFORE elections! Even w/out prosecutions. No excuse for four years of delays & failure. ZERO ringleaders prosecuted, crimes all term. It's not just Trump, and it's not just Insurrection. Complete failure, excuses are not enough. bsky.app/profile/chri...

I'll go with that-Cannon was in theory a random pick-luck?-Yes they started late-no laws were broken that caused a mistrial-Jack Smith didn't dragged his feet-I asked-Rep McClintock "Could Trump pass a background check?"-He is an adjudicated rapist & convicted felon but no one cared. That's on us.

Nothing excuses the failures of Justice. Nothing.

There was JUSTICE-SDNY-34 Felonies-he was found liable for rape-Yet 76 Million people still voted to keep him out of jail- 74 million voted to put him in jail-4 million (what's left from the 81m that voted for Biden in 2020) thought voting for a black woman wasn't worth seeing Trump go to jail

Wrong. There was no Justice. And voters can't be responsible for crimes they are not aware of. Justice failed. In the most extreme way. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Okay-u mean the 4 indictments-34 Felony convictions? Rape Case-Stormy Daniels-E Jean Carroll-88 indictments-Boxes of Top secret docs-Jan 6th or that 76 Million people didn't care he called Vets suckers & losers or a POW isn't a hero? Endless coverage, U really think people were unaware? Well I don't

No. Without any prosecution, or even full public review of the Insurrection, most supporters do not believe any of it. And that's evident now, and into the future. It's a waste of time debating this point. Justice failed, and it will ultimately cost lives.

Well we shall see in NY- but I'm not sure they wouldn't vote for him no matter what. That was my point-it was the 4 million Biden voters that couldn't vote for a black woman-She got the 3rd most votes in history-but you think the same 4M that voted for Biden-didn't know Trump was a criminal?

The job needed to be done, on time. Voters needed to be informed. Speculating on what difference it would make is just wild guesswork. The margin of 1.6% was well within rage that REAL proof would potentially make all the difference.

Forward to the end- They knew and didn't care- www.c-span.org/video/?54011...

Real proof? Like 34 felony convictions wasn't proof? No-folks knew-but they didn't care-u ask any MAGA-if Trump could pass a background check-Let me know what they tell u-The Chairman of Judiciary Rep McClintock said "It was a Kangaroo court"-u think he was unaware? I ASKED HIM on camera

And will cost many more.

He got away with EVERYTHING

Not really, there will no sentencing

Seems- only 74 million people wanted justice- the rest are okay with a criminal- they all knew who he was- they just wanted him instead of a Black Woman-Since we know 81M hated him in 2020.

So, the conviction on 34 felonies, tax fraud & liable for rape, called Vets-losers & sucker wasn't enough to get the 4m that voted for Biden that didn't vote for Harris-they need him to be sentence? Because if he lost-he'd be going to jail. So they didn't think he was a guilty? Is that your point?

He got away with everything and makes me sick We can’t deny that he’s untouchable

Oh, so far- but in the end- maybe not- we've seen it before

To merrick: When one haplessly bungles a situation because one thought it would just go away on its own.

Garland waited 2 years to bring charges against Trump. I doubt the investigation took that long. I'm crushed that Jack Smith, despite all THE EVIDENCE had to drop the charges. We elected a fucking convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and pathological liar as POTUS. Stupid people doing stupid things.

Nah, he just is a boomer and they don't feel that rich white guys should go to jail

I'm a boomer and I feel that white guys should definitely go to jail!!!!!!

I’m a boomer and I think the orange rump needed to be in jail on January 7! I hate old rich white men that ruin democracy. 🤮🤮🤮

Me too! I know there were hippies and mods, but a lot of people voted for Nixon and Reagan who thought Nixon wasn't a criminal

I’m a boomer and I believe all those old white guys should be jailed!

Yep yep

Unnecessary comment altogether. I'm a boomer and think rich white guys and rich orange guys need to be held accountable. I'm disgusted.

I was born in 1963.

Pshew. Very lucky!! You *just* made i! 😉😎😅

Technically, the guy who coined the term Gen X was referring to us born in the early 60s who weren't really boomers, but people changed it and made it later.

Did they? Are you conflicted? Do you relate better to one group? I believe I was born in the baby boomerest year of baby boomers.

BS - Boomer

Don't make generalizations. I'm a boomer. And I want him to pay for all the dirty crap he's pulled.

"Not all men" a lot of boomers voted for Nixon and Reagan etc. Don't take it personally

Your insulting divisiveness has no place on this platform. Do better.

I'm a boomer gen x. And there were PLENTY of boomers voting for Nixon and other right wing presidents.

It's not an age thing.

Who voted for Reagan? I betcha Garland did. I betcha he voted for Nixon too

I blame judge cannon and the appeals. Bet he appoints her to be SCOTUS

What if the excellent Pete Buttigieg had been the Attorney General instead of Garland? We wouldn’t have infrastructure, but at least we’d have justice.

Wait, we have an Attorney General? Did we have one this whole time?

No we had a gutless pussy🤬

Good one!

He sure acted quickly to get Hunter convicted.

In name only.

Yeah, but he naps a lot. Also, he wanted to pretend he was a SCOTUS justice. Listen to the arguments for a day then take a year to think about it.

Not against this Supreme Court he wouldn’t.

I love Pete but he isn't an attorney.

My cousin Vinnie would have been better than Garland.

Don't make me cry.

And we trusted him to do it. And he never did.

MG=Dual Citizen Israel

Obama's guy. Just saying

One fucking job.

He totally blew it as did Mitch McConnell and the MAGA voters

He had two jobs that were incompatible with one another: restore the DOJ's nonpartisan reputation and prosecute the felonious ex-president. I, too, am beyond angry and disappointed that he went too far in the wrong direction, but let's not pretend his job was simple.

I’m inclined to believe this too. But the greatest fault is the irrelevancy of our party. Let’s focus on getting ourselves back on track

Probably got paid off

I am so angry…

Agree

The deeper problem is that Garland is exactly what Biden wanted.

He should not have been appointed to that job imo

Biden should have replaced Garland in 2020, when he let the statue of limitations run out on Zelensky extortion/obstruction case. Biden & Garland failed to uphold their oath of office to defend and protect the Constitution against domestic and foreign terrorists.

Fcking Moscow Mitch was playing the long game when he denied Garland a SCOTUS seat. Team Putin helped arouse enough White Male Rage in 2016 to push Don the Con into the WH. Pushed 3 more extremists onto Roberts' Court to overturn Roe & empower the Liar. MAGA voters chose "The Tough Guy" in 2024.

He did his job, just as he was hired to do. He would have been horrible on the court too. We have to realize the truth that the government doesn’t represent us. It’s no coincidence the Dem party is doing nothing. Are they even talking?

So disappointing. I mean this man really just let Trump go free.

He didn't. His voters did. They had a good case that was delayed by Trumfp judges numerous times

Garland waited two years to even assign a prosecutor. Biden has been in office for four years. It was up to his administration to get this done. Garland was too weak.

Weren't they collecting evidence during that time? Idk but interviewing hundreds of witnesses and then the appeals delaying the case seems like they were up against a wall no matter what they did. I don't know exactly what his job entails but prosecutors do so that's what I was referring to 🤷🏽‍♀️

2 men ruined democracy. McConnell for not allowing the Senate to impeach the orange bastard, and Wimpy Garland

Just didn't have the balls to do it.

His job was to stall for four years until the oligarchs could get a firmer grip on the levers of power: economic, governance, xyz.

@merrickgarland.bsky.social

Biden shares some responsibility. He should have fired Garland's ass, wasting tax payer money & Jack Smiths time!

I want our money back from congress from Senate and our presidency and expecially our law enforcement who all died

Merrick Garland is the Neville Chamberpot of Neville Chamberlains.

Honestly, it was the Supreme Court along with all the people that voted him back in.They let him run a muck of the justice system. He is a con man that conned. A cult leader that did cult things.

Makes ya wonder what kind of Justice..eh?

Couldn’t agree more! 👏👏👏

Maybe the Justice Department should investigate him, but it certainly won’t happen during this administration.

Not trolling here, so don't think it. I honestly don't know what Garland's critics say/ believe he did wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

He did a great job according to his puppet master. Mission accomplished F’ing stunning

He was working for the other side.

Democrats always disappoint, brother. Getting used to it is the hard part.

Rick Gar is a slimly little fart smelling of brackish water & trash eggs

Do not forget Muller, Moscow Mitch...GOP as a whole

And he did it. He clearly did his job, drag your feet as long as possible to allow trump to win in 2024. If you still don't think him and Jack Smith were in on it, I don't know how much more evidence you need....

We need @jack-e-smith.bsky.social protected... and President Biden needs to expand the court and appoint some Supreme Court Justices. 🤔

Yep. The Federalist Society sure got their money's worth with ol' Merrick.

He’s a traitor.

Trying to rely on people to rein in the GOP and especially the tangerine tyrant has proven and will prove to be moot. The future that is coming is not going to be stopped by 1/2 dozen Republicans voting against it, don't rely on it. Saying there is no mandate is relying on a few to do the "one job"

Truth. I'm deeply ashamed of and disappointed in the justice system here.

"This republic was not established by cowards; and cowards will not preserve it." - Elmer Davis

soooo fucking angry

Yep, that pretty much says it. 😖 they had over 3 years to make something happen.

Awwwww.

More like fucking SCOTUS and dumb American voters.

It was neither scotus nor voters job to prosecute the organizers of an attempted coup against the united states. Garland failed to uphold the rule of law and the ramifications will be catastrophic.

SCOTUS sat on immunity case for 7 months, then ruled immunity for Trump in July. What do you suggest Garland do?

Garland sat on his hands for 18 months before opening a formal investigation into J6 organizers. There is credible reporting on this that I recommend you familiarize yourself with. It's a little late for suggestions at this point but my suggestion would have been that Garland do his f*cking job.

It doesn't matter how early or late the indictment would come in. The SCOTUS would have delayed it till July. Don't you understand how does the deep state work?

What scotus did was predictable, as was trump's "delay" legal strategy. DOJ played right into their hands by failing to get ahead of it.

I mean, SCOTUS ignored the Constitution and allowed Trump to run despite being illegible.

How would you play against SCOTUS?

By treating it like the emergency that it was, moving swiftly to indict and making the crimes and conspiracies against the country public, including the fact that a scotus justice and his wife were involved in the coup. Are you really saying that Garland/DOJ couldn't have done anything differently?

And I guess you also missed all those cases in different states disqualifying Trump from appearing on the ballots and SCOTUS ignoring the Constitution and allowing Trump to run.

I guess you missed my question where I asked you if you are saying Garland and his DOJ couldn't have done anything differently? Are you going to address that one or are you just going continue to be an apologist for our abject failure of an attorney general?

I guess you missed Jack Smith filing an emergency case with SCOTUS exactly a year ago asking to rule on immunity. And SCOTUS ignoring his request until February of 2024?

Exactly a year ago was November of 2023. I guess you missed the Willard Hotel meeting, where trump and his allies planned their coup attempt, that has been public knowledge since January 5th 2021? And nobody's criticizing Jack Smith - it was Merrick Garland that failed to move until it was too late.

Its all on cholesterol now. Come one cholesterol! Do your thing.

And he failed

The Subprime Court following Roberts Rules of Disorder had one helluva lot to do with it, too Jack Smith was ready to go. Judge Chutkan was ready to go. The Roberts Court threw tons of sand into the wheels of Justice Tons! They also pulled the wool over voters eyes.

Federalist POS

#supremecourt did this

I couldn't agree more! Maybe he's a closeted tRump thumper! Pretty pathetic!

TBH yes, but even if he was faster it would be pointless vis a vis SCOTUS and GOP. McConnell and his gang should have impeached. Biden should have been much more resolute vs Russia. But most of all Trump voters should not have been dumbfucks too lazy to Google.

Garland is part of what one would consider the deep state. These individuals are more attuned to keeping the status as is. He doesn't have the people in mind when doing his job.

He failed us in major ways.

one job for his federalist society buddies, and he succeeded brilliantly. maybe he WILL get on the supreme court after all...

Everyone said "give him time, he's got to be thorough. He's got one shot at this." Two words. Federalist Society.

But. You have to agree that: 1. Biden should never have hired him and 2. He should have replaced him after 18 months when it was clear he was slacking. Biden must take responsibility for much of this.

Garland's action or inaction in this has changed the course of America and its history. FFS 🤡🖕

The abysmal failures of feckless Merrick are the precursors to the ruination of a nation. The 💩 heads who voted for a criminal who stole national security documents are about to find out how badly they fucked up. Can’t wait till their trailer park dwelling asses can’t afford Walmart. Or EGGS 🥚

Oh it's coming.

3 freakin years…

It takes 2-4 years with all the evidence they had to compile and all the appeals that they filed delayed it more

So effin mad!

Tell it to the Stench Court.

Now we just sit back and watch the destruction and hope we get a chance to fix it in four years.

So did the American people💔

F the 79,994,133 that voted for trump

No shit. How much did he make by dragging his feet.

He's still a republican.

....perhaps his one job was to delay.

True dat

Now it’s like: America, we had ONE job!

He and McConnell will go down in history as the destroyers of our democracy.

Useless to We the People; very useful to the oligarchy, though.

This 💯

Turning on your own are ya? Not one second of self reflextion...
