How would remanding him to custody after his conviction on 37 felony counts prior to sentencing have been worse than what's happening right now?
Shit. I can't even anymore.
I'm going to get drunk and dream that I'm not living in this shitty country anymore...

The judge who presided over Trumps conviction on 37 felony counts clearly said to himself: Lets let him walk around free while we drag our feet on sentencing him. Whats the worst that could happen?
Well, we have the answer to that staggeringly näive question.

(3,171 posts)even further back. If we'd put more of a butthurt on the south after the civil war and held government officials to a higher standard, we'd be a different country.
I think about the movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. The problem was well known back then and nothing was done. Now it is institutionalized and entrenched so much that we have thugs willing to kill to protect it.

But I forgave him for it after he saved the ACA by showing up to vote against the repeal when he was recovering from brain surgery.
Much as I did not want him to be potus, I wish at least a few of the Republicans in the Senate now were more like him; i.e., able to think for themselves and in possession of a functioning spine!

(6,901 posts)No boldness or willingness to take the risks required. Now we have to suffer the consequences of Merrick Garland's dithering and incompetence, and the lack of fortitude among Democrats who had the power to take him down and pack that damn supreme court at the same time.
