An excellent summing-up of the nightmare created by Traitor and his minions.

I appreciate the thought though.

We are a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. And we have always been one.

We ASPIRE to be a nation that doesn't gun down our citizens in the street, sure...

Denying reality gets us nowhere.

Over a thousand Americans are killed (almost exclusively with guns) by police/sheriffs/feds (aka the government) annually.

There are only a handful of days each year where the government doesn't gun down someone in the street.

....the south was still having lynchings and god knows what else was going on in all 4 corners of America. That's why the fat orange imbecile wants to stifle and whitewash history.

Decent fellow and Great President! Especially considering what he was up against!

Under the fascistic regime of Donald J. Trump, all constitutional protections are null and void.
Unless Trump draws back, I fear civil war is upon us.

but sadly we most definitely are.

President Biden has said that, too.

This nation has been gunning down citizens in the streets for centuries. Has Biden forgotten the history of the labor movement pre-WW2? The response to the "bonus marchers" post-WW1? Kent State? Never mind the slave patrols of the 19th century and lynchings of the 20th.

This nation has a storied past of deep cruelty including shootings in the streets. Aspirationally, we may be trying to change, but we've been backsliding hard for the last decade.

who acts presidential, respects the Constitution, doesn't want to be a dictator,
and actually loves American and Americans---- but doesn't merely mouth the words---

Actions speak much louder than words, and they are doing so still.

We are now a nation that guns down its citizens in the streets.

The only failure of the Biden Presidency for all its accomplishments, is that the Justice Department failed to imprison the Orange Pedophile. We're paying a huge price for the failure of that overlooked task.

and then IMMEDIATELY elevated him, a junior/associate Justice, to Chief Justice instead of as a replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor when she announced her retirement (where he nominated Samuel Alito to fill that slot instead), and thus he would replace William Rehnquist when he died (which all happened around the same time).

And before 45's ambitions were a twinkle in anyone's eye, John Roberts was chipping away at stuff, and eventually HE gutted Sect. 4 & 5 of the Voting Rights Act, barely kept the ACA in place (minus the "individual mandate" ), overturned Roe v. Wade, declared that the President has "immunity" (and thus THWARTED ANY PROSECUTION OF 45), AND is now in the process of dismantling the REST of the core of the Voting Rights Act that is left (Sect. 2).

Everyone looks at the circus act in the White House but the last bastion of power IS the SCOTUS and John Roberts.

...with no respect for the Constitution and the law.

Nevertheless, the nomination by Obama of Merrick Garland and the unconscionable acts of hypocrisy displayed by Mitch McConnell in putting a rapist and a religious bigot on the court in lieu of him does not excuse the fact that as Attorney General, Garland failed to protect the country from one of the most dangerous criminals in its history.

This Court has done everything in its power to tear the Constitution to pieces. Yes, it's very clear that Roberts is the worst Chief Justice since Roger Taney. Taney of course tore the country apart and led directly to the most violent episode in American history, the American Civil War.

Roberts seems hell bent on repeating the feat.

Garland - who I defended here for a time - did nothing to check this disaster.

and making an assumption that someone at the SCOTUS would allow a prosecution of 45, just boggles the mind. The only way to get him (which did get him) was for state crimes, and those are in their final appeals before he loses.

How you know is the vigor of his assaults on the state courts in NY, more recently in CO, where he has been trying to "bust Tina Peters free" from her state charges, and prison cell, AND right now as I type, GA, where the FBI has just executed a search warrant in the Fulton County Election office... GA being the state where he was not only charged, but where he had his infamous mug shot, and where the SOS there has been battling 45 since the 2020 election.

...of leading an insurrection against the United States.

It was on TV after all.

All these things you mention about State charges, which I credit, are a function of the failure to enforce and uphold a Federal law against treason.

The felon should have been in prison.

The milquetoast response to the treason charge has allowed the rise of a fascist state using the power of the American government against its citizens as opposed to for its citizens.
