    It’s been three fucking years. I strenuously object to the notion that building even an airtight case for crimes we all witnessed live on national fucking TV really needed to take this goddamn long!

    For perspective, by this amount of time had passed after the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler had been arrested, tried, convicted, imprisoned, wrote a shitty book, and pardoned and released again. If even the Weimar fucking Republic – damn near a failed state – could manage that, what do these ridiculous delays say about us?!

      Remind me what happened to Hitler after that prosecution?

      Jack Smith was appointed a little over a year ago. And Hitler wasn’t the Kaiser when he was arrested. We also all know how well that story went after the quick trial…
