        Only if they can pay the $1 Million+ that Trump charges for those.

        He’s not going to pardon all of the insurrectionists. They were thrown under the bus before they left the original rally point. They’re just too stupid to realize it because they want to believe that he actually gave a shit about them. Otherwise their entire self identity is in question.

    What are you gonna do if we call, Jack? Sit with your thumb up your ass for four years and accomplish nothing?

          Nah. They engaged in textbook bottom-up investigation knowing they’d be prosecuting a former president and going up against stacked courts.

          The stacked courts delayed everything. Would’ve happened regardless; the only difference is if Garland/Smith rushed, they might risk a lack of corroborating evidence to convince a jury or lose on technicalities.

          As much as it pains me to say it, I’d rather this than a jury returning a Not Guilty.

          The biggest bullshit post-election is this scapegoating Garland. That we knew Trump was a convicted felon and pending 3 other trials and still voted for him is kind of a bigger problem.

          Jack Smith just did the best thing he could do by dropping the charges now.

          In January they’d be dismissed with prejudice. By dropping them now, they can be re-filed when Trump leaves office.

    Also the number for your local fire department for when your half drunk relative decides to try out that deep fried turkey cooking method he watched on Youtube once.

      I never got why it’s so hard for some people to fry turkeys. People fry stuff on their stoves all the time, but make it a turkey and they forget all the basic safety tips they’ve known their whole adult lives.
