Beastly Boy

24. It's one thing to be disgusted.

It's a whole different thing to arbitrarily direct your disgust where it doesn't belong, and do it over and over and over again without as much as trying to understand why Garland is a piss poor target for your disgust... It['s enough to turn a saintly boy like me into a beastly boy!

Who ever concocted the ridiculous idea that Garland is at fault for not indicting Trump? Garland doesn't pass laws, he follows them. It's up to Congress to pass laws. And it is up to You the People, not Garland, to elect members of Congress. So if you are disgusted with something, elect representatives who will do something about your disgust. And if you fail at that, it's your fault, not Garland's.

And why do you need a scapegoat to vent your disgust on anyway? To me, that's seems beastly beyond my capacity for beastliness.
