Stephan: As I watched the news today what struck me was the astonishing corruption, lying, bullying, and scamming that now defines the Republican Party. And yet, not a single high-ranking Republican is being held to account for any of it. This lack of accountability is poisoning our democracy, and once established that you can do such things and fear no consequence it will be next to impossible to stop it in the future. Where are the public hearings from the 6 January committee; where is Merrick Garland and the DOJ; where is the Manhattan DA; where is the Georgia Case against Trump? What I see day after day is more and more evidence of the criminality of the Republicans and everyone seems to go Ho-hum, what's on the movie channel.

Attorney General Merrick Garland is under immense pressure to deliver high-level grand jury indictments around the Jan. 6, 2021, violent insurrection. The Justice Department’s website lists hundreds of “Capitol Breach Cases” and the FBI has an extensive “most wanted list for the U.S. Capitol violence.” But so far, the raft of accuseds glaringly includes zero people who were at the top of the federal payroll that day, including most prominently former President Donald Trump himself.
This is not for lack of evidence. In February, former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade did the legal spadework supporting such an indictment in a carefully rendered “model prosecution memo.” In it she details — using only publicly available evidence — how Trump may have violated at least two federal criminal statutes by pressuring former Vice President Mike Pence to thwart the election results: conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction […]

I feel sorry for you, Lindi, it must be hard to understand what is going on when you cannot comprehend facts. Do you not understand that Biden and the Democrats have been blocked by the Republicans and Manchin from everything they are trying to do? From your comment, I guess not.
