    It almost did. There was a mob of people just a couple doors away from murdering most of congress and making Trump a dictator.

    The only reason Trump failed to end democracy is because he and the rest of the Republican party were just trying things without a real plan.

    They have a plan now. If they get a chance to use it, they will be successful.

      The Democrats sure waited a long time to prosececute Trump with that. Now the result of that trial will be after the election. Thank Democrats for saving Trump from jail.

        What’re you talking about? Democrats were sharply criticizing Garland for not bringing charges sooner, and still are. The Justice Department is independent, not an arm of the presidency.

        And, it took Garland time to bring a case because you can’t put together a case against the previous president of the US in a day. You only have one shot at a prosecution like that, and it needs to be flawless. It’s like the phrase “when you swing at the King, you better not miss”. It takes time to build the necessary case.

        Blame the supreme court instead for being lazy and in Trump’s pocket.
