Jack Smith's resignation plans are another confirmation of the president-elect’s abiding ability to escape legal and political accountability.

Maybe don't wait till the final year of the presidency to start the process.
- That's on Garland
  
  Buck stops with the President.
  
  Biden’s his boss. How would your boss respond to you not doing your job?
Land of the free, home of the brave.
Meanwhile someone had a bag of weed and spends years in a cave.
Dun dun
- Common misconception. It’s land of the fee.
  
  And the home of the beaver!🇨🇦🇨🇦
- The kicker is all the randos from Jan. 6th that were able to be found and convicted before Trump even had any prosecutions start.
- The only brave one shot at him.
  
  Seriously. If anyone has that "what would you do with a time machine" conversation and the people you're with say something about stopping Hitler, now we can all say "shut up, no you wouldn't. You didn't even try to stop him in our time."
For now, theres still a chance for him to share the same ending as any of his heroes. Maybe he can go out like the other man with a gang of blackshirted goons on a leash.
- If we look at the actuarial tables for known rapists and convicted felons who are elected to be the leader of the most powerful nation to ever exist, he's going to die of advanced old age on a throne of gold while underage concubines tickle his flaccid genitals. There is no justice.
  
  I bet every shit he’s taken for the last forty years has been unpleasant at least
- If only he could do the same thing as his idol. The greatest thing Hitler did was kill Hitler. I wish Trump would follow.
  
  I don't think Trump can kill Hitler
  
  But Hitler didn't do it on a whim. He had a decade of power, inflicted horrific pain on millions of people, caused a world war.... He killed himself only once the war was lost and he didn't want to face consequences.
  Trump will not have the same trajectory because the US army is the most funded in the world.
  
  Idk, I think I'd prefer if Trump followed Mussolini's example instead.
Constitutionally ineligible to hold office. Convicted felon, rapist, and insurrectionist. Known for tanking the economy with his trade wars. He presided over and directly caused the avoidable, unnecessary deaths of millions of Americans. He violated process and law to to make illegitimate SCOTUS appointments of unfit individuals. He directly undermined and invalidated multiple Constitutionally guaranteed rights… written in black and white… but which, for all intents and purposes, no longer exist. And not only was he unconstitutionally put on ballots, but won the election, too.
And nobody is doing anything about it. The rule of law and our very Constitution are worthless now. Democracy in America is dead. Government by the people, for the people, has perished in America.
God save us.
- Haha, the Constitution that enshrined slavery and didn't even extend voting rights to other white people if they didn't own land, was always useless. Liberals are just waking up to this now because Trump is an asshole haha.
He got away with everything so far.
- Who is doing anything about it?
- How old do you expect this greese bag of shit will get?

The Dems were never going to set a precedent of holding a politician accountable for their crimes. They are committing their own.
