A website called Jackpine Radicals in 2016. Delusional asshats who felt it was great to let Trump destroy everything because "now people will realize it's a mistake to vote for Republicans."

Which is like saying it's great someone got robbed because "now they'll understand the importance of locks."

Every time a new revelation about Trump came out everyone waved the pom-poms & cheered "Yeah! He's totally going down this time!"

And nothing ever happened. But they kept doing it over & over. "This time for sure!"

Nobody was ever coming to save us. Nobody was ever going to hold him accountable.

In the novel's sequel, the Marvelous Land of Oz, an evil witch is captured by the good guys who want her reveal some secrets.

Glinda tells the witch point blank words to the effect of "talk or die. We are not fucking around, we WILL kill you otherwise. Spill it. NOW."

Such a total badass!

I hate to say it because I agree with you, but he won't ever pay one cent to E. Jean Carroll, and the debt will be totally obviated. His convictions erased and he's patted on the head and given a Happy Meal because he is a Very Special Boy.

I never had any expectations he would pay the piper. Ever.

There are still people defending him. No, really, if you go over to Democratic Underground there are threads that pop up and his biggest cheerleader, "Bigtree" literally does nothing but scream at people that Garland isn't to blame and did nothing wrong.

We think it's Garland himself, frankly.

Same. We spent the past eight years being breathlessly told that "Consequences are just around the corner... Trump will pay the piper soon."

Um, no. Spoiler alert: He never will.

Anyone read the play "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett?

Yeah. Godot never appeared. Just like justice never did.

This is what waiting for Merrick Garland to do his job looks like....

I agree totally. Honestly, when the judges refused to enforce the gag orders to keep Trump from inciting violence, I knew the ball game was over.

That's not the way we wanted it to go but it was obvious he was never going to be held accountable, no matter what. Just too many people too scared.
