'Should be terrifying to everyone': Prosecutor fired by Trump delivers blunt warning - eviltoast

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.

    So, your solution is to quote Marx and hope the revolution will materialize.

    it’s actually not quoting Marx. Marx believed that a capitalist society will over time always result in a worker’s revolution. I’m more pessimistic about human nature. I think a capitalist society will always result in fascist authoritarianism

    I wish I had the privilege of letting things get worse

    do it then. make things better, I’m rooting for you.

      , I’m rooting for you.

      Like everything else you wrote, that doesn’t actually do anything at all.
