Special counsel Jack Smith drops election subversion case against Donald Trump

Lmao, thinking its still going to be legal to investigate trump in 4 years

If it makes you feel any better, you'll likely live long for the DNC to say the same thing against the next 5 Republicans, and maybe even a Dem candidate will get a death bed endorsement from Trump while Eric Trump goes on a rally your with the Dem candidate talking about how much the Republicans have lost their way since 2016...

Like, after Biden stepped down I told myself I'd vote D matter who like I always have. Because Biden had no shot in hell, and the DNC actually listened and I wanted to communicate that's all we've been begging for.

But I remember GW, I remember Dick Cheney was the real problem and Lil Bush was just a distraction.

But Kamala still trotted Liz Cheney around, acted like her dad isn't the biggest US war criminal in modern history, and tried to act like Trump was solitarily the one responsible. I still voted for her. But it ended up being harder than voting Hillary.

trump can drop dead as I'm typing this and not a damn thing will change.

I've lived through this series of events before. The vast majority of Americans have.

It's going to suck and we're going to lose ground, but there isn't a cat wrangler alive that can get republicans to agree and work with themselves.

They'll lose the House/Senate in two years. Maybe one, maybe both. But they won't get anything accomplished and they do t have anyone else to blame to motivate their voters in midterms.

They're going to have to eat that they got trump, the House, and Senate, and sure as shit aren't going to fix what they told voters they'd fix.

Stop saying the fight is over because neo liberals didn't get everything they wanted.

Start working on fighting our own party next primary so we have a chance of getting what America needs. If another neoliberal gets into the general, hold your nose and hope enough other people do too to mitigate damage.

Regardless of anything that happens, giving up is never going to work.

Fight every fight like it's the last, and no matter what happens treat the next one the same. This is what fighting fascism actually looks like, not voting once every four years.

Maybe blame the voters or rather the people who couldn’t be assed to come out.

Absolutely this.

Old-ass biden wins primaries because the only people who could be bothered to vote in ANY election that isn't just the general election, are other old people. They vote for the people most like them, fellow old people...

If you are told to vote between a rock and four piles of fresh dog poop you are obviously going to vote for the rock.

The DNC is at fault for making the voters choose between a rock and four piles of fresh dog poop.

It's chronic with that user. The Boost app allows you to tag usernames and it's very helpful for tracking bad faith accounts.

How can you witness the DNC lose two elections and barely win another by razor-thin margins during a time of unprecedented turmoil and think the party is doing well or above reproach?

All you're doing here is an ad hominem against the messenger and failing to give a single reason why you think their argument is wrong.

Trump got away with corruption because the DNC dragged their feet on pursuing charges until the 11th hour and now it's too late. That seems like a damn good reason to criticize the people leading the party.

Because the DNC is not blameless, and while we can't control Trump or his followers, the DNC is something we (should) have control over. Being critical of the things we have control over is literally the only way to improve them.

And for the record, DNC != Democrats. The person you are responding to is being critical of the DNC, not democrats. That is a very important distinction.

Also did you just link to the wiki article on FUD as though people might not know what you're referring to?

Its a practical issue. Sure, you can can throw the president in jail. But they are still president. They can totally call the military to break them out.

I don't think the person you are responding to is talking about Trump winning the election like you are. Unless I am misunderstanding, it sounds like they are saying that Republicans will point to this case being dropped as a win and that they were right all along. In other words, they will say that the Democrats were just unfairly trying to prosecute Trump, and dropping the case proves they had no evidence (even though that isn't why the case was dropped).

Bro what the hell are you talking about. This is about the outcome of the election subversion case (which was 2020), not the outcome of the election (2024).

He can't himself since it's spelled out in the constitution in the 22nd amendment.

So tl;dr it would need 3/4 of the states to repeal that. More detail than that, but that's what it boils down to.

A lot of us whiteys already knew

How is "less than 4" now "nearly 5"?

That can only be done if the case is presented again. You can't dismiss something that doesn't exist.

He cannot pardon himself on a dismissed case.

Jack Smith, apparently.

Agreed, but I don't see that happening in the absence of a legal justice system.

Do you have realistic ideas on how to make that happen?

The American voters failed humanity.
