..To have played + laughed with enthusiasm, sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded
Imagine knowing that you've done such an abysmal job, been so useless at protecting democracy as Attorney General that your announced successor is a serial pedophile POS who you declined to prosecute despite a massive amount of evidence.
BREAKING: Republican Senator John Cornyn just announced that he would like the House Ethics Committee to release the findings of the Matt Gaetz investigation. It sure looks like Republicans are going to sink one of Trumpโs first nominees.
Trump picks incompetent loyalists for his Cabinet, and @CNN leads with "In Bold Move, Trump Picks Unorthodox Staff."
The media is the problem. They helped him get elected and they are covering for him now.
๐ Until now, I've lived life striving to make chicken salad out of chicken shit
Now I recoil as @MSNBC, @CNN, #MSM + historians spout off how "We need to do things differently "the next time ".
There's no 'next time'
There's no turning this chicken shit into chicken salad
Hold on, he would have been โinherently unelectableโ had he actually seen the inside of a courtroom shortly after Jan 2021 when his poll ratings were in the tank and even the GOP in Congress had begun to turn on him. Garland is to blame here - and Biden for appointing him.
Arrogant @POTUS Joe Biden did NOTHING in his 4 years to protect our democracy. He is the single biggest reason we are where we are. His legacy is the downfall of American Democracy.
Hey Norm, You are a self serving apologist extraordinaire for your friend, the wholly incompetent pacifist AG Merrick Garland. You do a 2000 word thread on what happened and avoid the main reason. Start soul searching your culpability by your blind loyalty to your useless friend.
There will be a lot of soul-searching among Democrats, as there should be. Those who criticize Joe Biden for not dropping out earlier, or Kamala Harris for her campaign, are looking in the wrong place. This was a broader rejection ofe ruling elites. 1
I blame the guy who hired Merrick Garland and then stood back for 4 years and did NOTHING to protect our democracy. I blame @JoeBiden and will never forget or forgive him.
Donald Trump has won a second term. โIt is a disastrous revelation about what the United States really is, as opposed to the country that so many hoped that it could be,โ @sbg1 writes.

@Stornoway_Cove We have thrown away all that is good in us and have forever forsaken both friends and family. 'America' will never mean the same to us or the world. Tragic
Fred Guttenberg: "I love America, but I am disgusted by those who could vote for this. I will move on and live my life, away from social media and the reality of this outcome."...
I will never again see a land of hopes and dreams
I cry for my children
The dream is over!
Was it racism? Was it sexism? The people voted and they voted for a liar, cheat, criminal, and someone who does not care about them. They voted against their own self interest. Fifty percent of this country just voted against our Democracy. I have disdain for that. I am today not proud to be an American. Today, I will struggle to stand for our anthem. I love America, but I am disgusted by those who could vote for this. I will move on and live my life, away from social media and the reality of this outcome. I feel sorry for those who voted for this outcome and actually thought this was going to work out well for them.
Do not turn on Kamala Harris and start trashing the campaign she ran.
She ran an amazing campaign.
Put the blame on half of America who voted for hate and a daddy dictator who they think will take care of them, but who doesn't give a damn about them.
