Sure thing, except that gave us MAGA, a descent into fascism, and the possibility that there won't be a future president who upholds the independence of the Justice Department. I think what you should say is, "Biden did nothing about it"
I have zero tolerance for anyone apologizing for the inaction of our democratic representatives in fighting fascism, and not interested in Chat, so don't bother.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Four years wasn't enough time to punish MAGA insurrectionist leaders? Bull Shit. Biden made a choice to let Donald slide. MAGA won the House in the midterms, consider that the warning shot Biden ignored.
bull shit. Garland had a boss.
If the long timers were effective at their job, the MAGA insurrection leaders would have been punished for the Jan 6th insurrection, and wouldn't be supplicating to Russia, destroying our economy, and giving disbarred Rudy a Medal of Freedom.
We all are curious.
Looking at you @schumer.senate.gov
Collins is allowed from time to time to take a performative vote against Trump only after a GOP majority has been established. It’s as tired a trick as Trump promising he’ll announce his non-existent solution to a problem “in two weeks.” Yet everyone keeps falling for it.
This is so untrue! Susan waffles on only 50% of the issues. The other 50% Murkowski takes the lead on, and let's Susan off the hook. Both performative sell-outs need to be replaced by Democrats.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

I'm sure the DNC has other plans to help us lose, perhaps they will convince Chelsea Clinton to run...
So Robert’s is concerned that the rule of law is being eroded?? He’s one of them main reasons it’s happening. Robert’s, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh… We need reform for the SCOTUS!
He was originally propped up to run to steal democratic votes from ignorant voters that hate Trump, but it turned out he would have won over MAGA voters, so he dropped out of the race
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
A light at the end of this dark tunnel - WHEN all t-Rumps health issues symptoms become severe, SOON, we hope that he will rely ON RFK JR for treatments, using RFK 's remedies THAT ought to take care of things!!
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
Putin has always owned Donald. But Putin is a failure, just like Donald, Ukraine is defeating the paper Bear, and Americans can hopefully defeat Donald. We have to do that without our current Democratic party, though, they are failures as well. Gavin, AOC, Crockett... we need more of that!
So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning
#TrumpTrainWreck
Fuck Joe Biden for caring so little about protecting democracy that he managed to not hold Trump accountable, in any way, for inciting an insurrection in an attempt to stop Joe's inauguration, and then lost the House to MAGA, and still didn't act. Weak, Joe gave us Trump 2.0
Every time Trump tosses out a new tariff policy or has the US government buy stock his family and other MAGA grifting insiders are profiting highly off the insider trading that is occurring. The corruption is off the chart, but could have been prevented if Donald was held accountable for Jan 6th.
Most of us struggle to pay for groceries and electricity. Trump and his family have profited over $3.4 billion from his presidency, with a large portion coming from deals and investments that benefited from his presidential status. It’s only getting better for him, not us. Nothing is better for us.🔄
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
How about we deal with the guns, rather than bullshit about it? Oh, sorry, that makes me an "L", blaming the "R"'s, that only bullshit about this issue.
His LIES are NEVER ENDING. His CORRUPTION is all encompassing. VOTE OUT every Republican as possible, so we can impeach this CRIMINAL in 2027.
In lieu of Syrup of ipecac, listen to Republican platitudes.
I wonder how many of the cops are on disability due to the ego bruise of having a sandwich tossed at them.
Any money the DNC is paying its senior staff and its strategists has been wasted for years (look at their poor results, it speaks for itself). Democratic voters want a change, which is why the DNC is finding it impossible to sell themselves to donors now. They should call Gavin for advice.
Donald has such respect for law enforcement that he only called upon his supporters to beat them up one day so far...
C'mon Lucifer, I've seen South Park, I know what you are up to with Donald...
In a New York court, a judge found Trump liable for real estate fraud. The judge ruled that he repeatedly inflated the value of properties to get better loan terms and lower interest. It’s ironic that Trump is now accusing Lisa Cook of real estate fraud when he himself is the worst offender. 🔄
Trump's tax (tariffs) is the regressive national sales tax that Republicans always wanted to replace income taxes. I'm sure it will trickle down like Reagan promised when he cut taxes for the wealthy 45 year ago... sometime soon...
A “tariff rebate check” is like setting your kitchen on fire and then mailing yourself a bucket of water. There's an easier way to avoid the burn.
This is the natural result of the fascist oligarchs who bought Trump the presidency also owning the mainstream media companies. All we have now is 'fake news' (every conservative accusation is a confession) that bends the news to fit the narrative of those that own the news organizations.
maybe, autocorrect tends to correct misspelled words, it has no idea if you are choosing the wrong word, so no, it doesn't correct those issues.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Martial vs Marital.
If you don’t like having the Army on our streets, or your health insurance premiums Sky high, or your public schools defunded, then you must vote Democratic!
Those safeguards only work on Democrats like Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer. Except for the safeguards against insider trading, those they ignore.
As someone who has watched this project for over 25 years now I need u to clearly understand this: there is no secret plan. There is no strategy from Democrats. It literally is as shitty as it appears. Democrats benefit so much from their base thinking “they couldn’t be this weak/stupid.” They are.
Meanwhile MAGA/GOP, party of "clean coal" is gutting emissions regulations to encourage American manufacturers to stick with big, inefficient ICE powertrains, and gutted EV/clean energy credits to discourage their use. Like Reagan taking off the solar panels Carter installed on the White House.
All because Biden respected the independence of the Justice Department so much he refused to press his AG to prosecute the criminal MAGA insurrection leaders.
My sincere hope is that we are able to elect a Democratic successor that is not weak like Joe Biden and is willing to place Donald on trial for Emoluments violations (seizing the ill gotten gains, and putting him in jail for corruption), if nothing else.
Nichols: Even though these guys come across as clowns, they're clowns with flamethrowers.. They have the machinery of government behind them. These are people that normally would be struggling to hold on to middle management jobs in a department store somewhere
Someone other than Kaah Patel should investigate the felon-in-chief’s 37 trips to epstein’s “let’s rape children” island, but alas: the GOP is in control and full of pedophiles. #FckEmAll
There were other missed opportunities to simply apply the law and the Biden administration didn't.
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
Korea had a functioning government, we have a MAGA president, MAGA Congress, and MAGA Supreme Court, and an opposition party that thinks if Biden had fired Garland for inaction it would have been a stain on his presidency because it would have shown his indifference for not politicizing the DOJ.
And Biden could have acted without breaking any laws, simply by firing Garland when MAGA retook the House, and appointing someone who prioritized stopping the very real and documented MAGA insurrectionist threat.
Now it might be different if Trump and MAGA played by the same rules, but Trump showed us in his first term that his AG's served as his personal attorneys, working for him, not for us. Trump was a known danger to democracy, Biden didn't step up to meet the new reality.
Biden respecting the independence of the AG that he appointed was the wrong response immediately after MAGA led an armed insurrection against the United States of America. Democracy demanded more from him, and he failed us. 1
Does it matter what self-serving lies Ghislaine provides? Democrats held three branches of government, not only did they let MAGA insurrection leaders run free, they let Epstein's victims watch as nothing was done to give them justice.
Biden's weakness gave us Trump 2.0. Democrats as a whole just couldn't imagine what might happen with unpunished MAGA insurrection leaders. They certainly weren't listening to voters like me, demanding that they act before it became too late. Now we get to see what TrumpGilead is like. Thanks Joe?
The problem was he was President, and he played by outdated rules that MAGA fascists do not respect. And the warning signs weren't hard to miss, MAGA winning back the House in the midterms was enough for a competent leader to realize something needed to change. But Biden stayed steadfast... 1
Found it
Hard reality, bottom line. In trump's world YOU cease to exist. He hates you and your demise is his legal will. No one will stop him from doing so. But WHOEVER opposes him and wins will at least let you and us, continue to fight for your rights. Pick your poison.
If enough "brawling Democrats" like this emerge throughout this national tragedy, it's not going to matter anymore how many Democratic "leaders" like Schumer Jeffries or Pelosi performatively send strongly-worded letters. They'll fall by the wayside and soon we'll have a formidable opposition.
I like what Newsom is doing. I like what Pritzker is doing. I like what Mamdani is doing. We need all hands on deck NOW. We can worry about the presidential race LATER. Once we secure its relevance.

Given Gym’s history of ignoring sexual abuse, they couldn’t have found a better spokesperson for their cause.
Weird that Biden didn't take the opportunity to make sure victims were heard, probably because of his friendship with Bill Clinton and others that are likely in the Epstein records.
I believe it, Biden was weak, was pals with Bill Clinton (probably as likely to be on the Epstein list as Donald), and generally showed no sign of wanting to protect our Democracy from MAGA criminal insurrection leaders.
No frickin way #allythepiper #piperally #freebird
They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.
Cruelty isn’t a tourist attraction. America is losing billions under this evil criminal regime. The Constitutionally disqualified, illegitimate, corrupt, Russian asset, political thief, pedophile, criminal felon & his cronies & enablers all need to go now #MAGATerrorists youtube.com/shorts/JTh4o...
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
Humanity A system that rips fathers from their families in immigration court is not justice; it’s cruelty. People can only take so much before heartbreak turns into resistance.
When you’re too dumb to tell the difference between imitating and mocking.
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
And if a president wanted to spend his term unproductively, he would pass a lot of great legislation, but see it all reversed in six months because he refused to demand prosecution for MAGA criminal insurrection leaders, giving them the opportunity to retake control of our democracy to destroy it.
Epstein witnessed Trump raping underage girls cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFile...
Newsom’s Twitter troll is genius because pleading and crying in front of an authoritarian does nothing, but pointing and laughing enrages the authoritarian.
The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
The "Epstein Files" are NOT lists he kept of the clients he "serviced." In point of fact, they are the sealed/redacted transcripts of testimony that the victims gave prosecutors at his trials. They named names; this list of names remains hidden from the public to this day. Important distinction.
Ghislaine Maxwell said she never saw any man do anything inappropriate with any woman of any age. The interview should have been over after that statement.
libertarians are selfish republicans who love weed.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
I agree, Biden totally blew it. He had way too much faith in the system and the old ways.
Dukakis, but more of an asshole.
Seems relevant
There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.
Everybody blames the employee, nobody blames the boss. Biden (and senior Democrats) could have, and should have, seen the writing on the wall when MAGA took back the House. They still didn't act. Inexcusable, unpunished insurrectionists are now taking a wrecking ball to democracy. Blame Biden.
To be fair, the Russians were compromising Donald long before that picture was taken.
Meanwhile, Jack Teixeira shared fewer, less sensitive documents, was immediately arrested and frog walked, no bail, and got 15 years in prison. Unequal treatment under the law, but that works for Dems, who won't "politicize" the prosecution of MAGA, even if that means fascism for us now. WEAK!
I remember, Biden's Justice department filed the case in a Trump friendly Florida court, watched as Trump's future Supreme Court nominee Aileen Cannon interfered with their prosecution, but they refused to file similar charges in other jurisdictions so that Cannon/Trump could run out the clock. 1

🔥 CALIFORNIA Assemblyman Marc Berman: “I’m worried some of my colleagues from across the aisle are suffering from GAVIN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”😂
I'd say it is nearly impossible to white wash history now that the internet exists but the same oligarchs that bought Trump the presidency so that they could control regulations on their companies and set their own tax rates also control much of the internet.
Roberts is bought and sold, and his wife makes the family income by gatekeeping access to him, as long as the law firms desiring access to the illegitimate corrupt 'supreme' court pony up the $$. PS: I had to remove the autocorrect capitalization from 'supreme court' because they don't deserve it.
