Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It’s about fucking time
So far past time it’s not even funny.
Best marrick garland will do is nothing.
He might pretend to do something…
like I said. the best he will do is nothing. he's not very imaginative so he fails at most make-pretend games.
There is no alternative course of action. If you're expecting him to resign before November, don't hold your breath. At the end of the day they won't impeach but if you don't air the dirty laundry, what good is having the majority?
I was talking about Marrick doing something other than sitting around with a Trump-branded dildo up his ass.
The kinds of people who would resign over corruption allegations generally don’t go in for, uh, that much corruption…
This guy is as crooked as a pretzel
He is going to refuse to cooperate with the special counsel, claiming they have no grounds to oversee his actions.
Merrick Garland definitely doesn’t have the courage to do this, and it’s entirely up to him.
Of course with the power Thomas just gave him, Biden could order the Justice Department to open an investigation without a special counsel, but he clearly won’t do that. Same lack of courage.
We sure do have a courage deficiency in the Democratic Party, and it will be our downfall.
Ahhh, yes, sadly another dead end for actual justice.
