I'm increasingly convinced that the corporate/authoritarian movement in the US will not be overcome until heads literally roll. I'm not endorsing this. But I don't see another way forward when we have elites who are immune from any sort of ethics guidelines or having to meet the needs of constituencies.
I think everyone has sufficient evidence to arrest Clarence Thomas. I’m not even a lawyer and I think I could get a conviction on tax fraud for the tour bus loan that got forgiven.
Overall, despite a handful of good calls, Garland has been a catastrophically huge disappointment in the scope of trying to shore up our defenses against fascism. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that his nomination to AG is amongst one of Biden’s worst appointment decisions.
Garland is the weak-ass supreme court pick that was a result of "reaching across the aisle". I'm not sure why he was given the AG role, but democrats should pick people actually willing to fight for us. Democrats positioned themselves as "the only thing stopping fascism" but they don't even try.

You can't keep the greed game going if you're on the sidelines. Gotta keep us voting for these inept dumbasses or they won't be able to enrich themselves!
I hate how we have 2 choices:
100% farm to table fascism
or
80% Corpo stooge 15% inept stooge 5% actually gives a shit about people.
I like about 80-90% of what Biden’s done. But he and his generation of Dems don’t put as high a priority as they should n fighting to improve the lives of us little people. Should we avoid a fascist dictatorship and Biden gets 4 more years, replacing Garland has to be a top priority
Garland is trash. Sat on his hands for over 2 years before being forced into prosecuting Trump, but too little too late and now nothing will come of it. Again has a chance to restore some justice in this nation by taking on the obviously corrupt Supreme Court, and again chooses to do nothing.
Biden could replace him, but for some reason keeps calling him John Mitchell and then just trails off staring at the floor…
Garland deserves to be remembered as someone who could have saved rule of law, but didn’t have the courage to do so. People should spit should they ever be forced to utter the craven coward’s name.
They should investigate all crimes, but I'd be pissed at the Biden campaign if I were Garland. Republicans held him in contempt and were calling for Garland's arrest while Biden campaign insisted Biden didn't have memory issues. Now it gives the appearance that Garland was shielding Biden.
