Summary

Former federal prosecutor Sara Levine, fired by Trump, warned on 60 Minutes that the Justice Department is “under attack.”

Levine, who prosecuted January 6 rioters, said she was fired for upholding the law.

Legal expert Peter Keisler criticized Trump’s pardons of Capitol rioters, arguing they signal that crimes committed in support of Trump’s agenda may go unpunished.

These actions undermine the rule of law and discouraging accountability for political violence.

    I’m not a politician. I developed an entirely different set of skills. Throwing away my career at the potential of reskilling is absurd.

    And Dems weren’t doing their job. I’m tired of people pretending like that’s acceptable. I canvass. I get people ready to vote. I do my part.

    I can’t even tell you the last time a Dem policy benefitted me directly. What I have in common with them really just boils down to them being the only opposition right now. I pushed Harris like we had to and I’ll never forgive them for running such an unlovable candidate. They knew what they were doing. The second there’s another serious option I’m gone. Dems complete lack of opposition makes them complicit in everything that’s happening.

      AOC and Omar have entered the chat.

      If you don’t like the Dems that are in power now, you can primary them. If we get another election.

        We haven’t had a real primary in a long time.

        AOC is a joke. I will actually not support that in any way. Dems are just as capable for what’s happening. They’re actively complicit.

          So, what’s your plan?

          Just roll over and let Trump do what he wants?

          Create a viable 3rd party in 24 months?

          Give me some options.

            That’s exactly what Dems are doing right now. Voting Dem won’t save you because they’re on the same team. They have the same sponsors and they’re both more beholden to them, than you or I.

              So, your plan to stop Trump is not to vote for the Dems?

              Please, name the alternative.

              Do you have anything like a plan? A leader? Anything at all?

                You’re so full of shit.

                Stop with the loaded questions and baited answers. You’re not here for a debate and you’re not here in good faith.

                You’re the people that lost us this election. I hope you enjoy the boot you put over us all.

                  How did I lose the election?

                  I told you that you had two choices. A proven fascist who happily lead people to the slaughter house during Covid and on Jan. 6. and the candidate who promised that no matter what there’d be another election in 2026.

                  Don’t blame me because you couldn’t figure out the difference.

                  BTW, I contributed to Bernie in 2016, 2020 and 2024.
