Looks like its Game On, Motherfuckers.

[Stinky The Clown]

Garland, Harris, Biden

Increasingly stronger, harsher messaging.

The right will not sit still for that, that's for sure.




This post is a WayTaGo!, not a criticism in any way.

[Leghorn21]

1. My words *exactly*, Stinky!!!!

[malaise]

2. Pelosi coming up at noon

[Deuxcents]

3. Yep calling em out

Loud n proud at long last.

[Wounded Bear]

4. K & R...nt

[Johnny2X2X]

5. This is great

This is a way to unite the left and the center against the anti American democracy Right.

[wnylib]

33. Yes, I've been thinking the same thing.

Not just the left and center Democrats, but there are still some RWers and Independents who are not extremist, who deplore Trump and Trumpism, and are horrified by Jan 6.

The way to unite the country is not to reach out to the extremists who want to destroy it and try to persuade them to change. The way to unite us and to preserve democracy is to condemn the actions of those who would destroy it and unite the rest of us against them.

[DeSmet]

6. Anyone

Office holders, media figures or the guy in the street who speaks out against the truth about 1/6 must be labeled seditionist on the spot.

[fightforfreedom]

7. Game on is exactly right.

Good post.

[Beetwasher.]

8. Yup, The Fight is Being Joined In Earnest, Here Comes The Cavalry!!

Obviously there's coordination, they've been thinking about it and taking it as serious as fuck. Now the roll out. We've got the truth AND the brains on our side.

[KPN]

17. They have ... been taking it seriously. Good to see. They obviously sense the overwhelming

national support for holding the insurrectionists accountable, and are sending a clear and unwavering message that they are acting on doing just that. They have our backs because so many have had theirs and clearly told them so.

[Mr. Ected]

9. I'm sure this was how they planned on proceeding from the beginning

Use all of 2021 to accumulate as much evidence as they could. Keep mum about the status.

New Year 2022: inform the public, full speed ahead, take no prisoners (except the ones who desecrated our nation).

I no longer fear that the DOJ isn't taking this seriously or that they will only be going after the citizens and not the ringleaders. We're past that now and it's quite encouraging.

[OneGrassRoot]

10. This. n/t

[NightWatcher]

11. Pile this shit on building to October. Risky, but sounds good to me.

[soldierant]

31. Having a majority,, even a supermajority of voters

is not going to help us if their votes don't count.

AG Garland knows that. That's why he spent as much time as he did speaking about voting rights.

[DinahMoeHum]

12. Setting up the political time bombs to explode. . .

. . .at the appropriate moments.

[Farmer-Rick]

13. Bullies usually are afraid of accountability and authority

The right will not sit still for harsh messaging?
Probably correct. If they only get scolded, they will be all up in arms, oh so angry......but

If the right is actually held accountable like prosecuting Trump or his legions, they will sit still for it. One thing bullyies do is Not question authority. They are cowards and meek around authority.

[KPN]

18. I agree. There may be some truly whacko outliers, but overall, they will fold in the face of hard-

nosed, genuine rule of law backed by obvious and overwhelming public support.

[Roc2020]

14. This was the plan all along

Bleed from the GOP as much blood as possible from Jan.6th. And Biden/Harris made one first heck of a cut today

[live love laugh]

15. What "plan all along" are you referring to?

[KPN]

19. +1

Yeah, I really feel like the overwhelming public support for holding insurrectionists accountable that we've seen, read and heard everywhere but far-right wing outlets and enclaves over the past 12 months provided the urging and girding behind what we are seeing today and from Garland yesterday. Let's give credit fairly and where due.

[Jon King]

16. Biden can not leave office in 2024.

No matter what. The Repugs are going to cheat at the election board level and if they control the House will do all sorts of nonsense with sets of electors.

Biden has to stay no matter what, challenge everything in the courts, do not concede. No other option will result in American democracy surviving.

[Ponietz]

20. The election winner will take the oath in 2025

Therefore, Biden will not leave office in 2024. Implying otherwise is inappropriate.

[Fiendish Thingy]

21. And on his right flank, former Trump officials are meeting to strategize how to stop him

According to Stephanie Grisham.

[ShazzieB]

35. Oh, good!

Glad to hear it!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

22. YES!

Take it right up into their teeth.

[CaptainTruth]

23. And I am damn glad to hear it! Now we need to keep it up, relentlessly.

[Grasswire2]

24. Yeah, and Karl Rove comes out in public yesterday!

Gotta read his article.

[Mr.Bill]

26. So, he's already forgotten

about the election he helped W steal in 2000.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. That eerie feeling when you find yourself agreeing with Karl Rove

[lanlady]

43. I see he took a gratuitous swipe at Democrats

for having the gall not to discern who on Jan 6 came to demonstrate peacefully and who came to unleash the kraken. Well excuuuuse us, Karl, for not sorting out all those fine Brooks Brothers protesters from the guys in flak jackets. There was, um, a massive violent melee under way and it was difficult to keep track.

[bucolic_frolic]

25. Because we have to have this fight. No rolling over. Joe told us - the best ideas win. That's what

democracy is all about. And we have the best ideas.

[Joinfortmill]

27. Game on!!

[JanMichael]

28. G.B.H. is better.

[ShazzieB]

36. Better than what?

And what is it G.B.H.?

Sorry, but I don't understand this comment.

[JanMichael]

40. It is an acronym that is used in the UK for types of assaults.

Grievous Bodily Harm.

So Garland - Biden - Harris in that order.

[spanone]

29. ...K&R...

[Irish_Dem]

30. It is time to fight like hell to save our democracy.

Biden has made that clear.

[Ponietz]

32. That cretinous mass

should have studied how Mussolini, his idol, met his end. Or Göring, or Tojo.

Get the fuck out of our country and finish your miserable life humming Bonesaw bin Salman in Saudi—start practicing for hell Donnie. You don’t even deserve citizenship.

[Blue Owl]

34. Turn it up...

TURN IT THE FUCK UP!

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

38. "I did not seek this fight brought to this Capitol one year ago today. But I will not shrink from

it either. I will stand in this breach. I will defend this nation, and I'll allow no one to place a dagger at the throat of democracy. We will make sure the will of the people is heard, that the ballot prevails, not violence – that authority of this nation will always be peacefully transferred. I believe the power of the presidency and the purpose is to unite this nation, not divide it – to lift us up, not tear us apart. It’s about us, not about me.

Deep in the heart of America burns a flame lit almost 250 years ago of liberty, freedom and equality. This is not a land of kings or dictators or autocrats. We're a nation of laws, of order, not chaos, of peace, not violence. Here in America, the people rule through the ballot, and their will prevails. So let us remember together: We're one nation, under God, indivisible, that today, tomorrow and forever at our best, we are the United States of America."

President Joe Biden. Jan. 6, 2022

Wow. Just wow.

[Girard442]

39. In the immortal words of John McClane:

Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!

[Evolve Dammit]

41. America has put up with their shit for a year too long. Actually 5 years. They hate America.

[lanlady]

42. Trump will be charged. The administration has set things up perfectly

Garland goes on TV and states point-blank that DOJ is just getting started, that no one at any level will be exempt from consequences. Then Biden gives his tour de force speech yesterday aimed directly at TFG.

To me, the White House is signaling to the American public that Trump will face charges, despite all the skepticism from the media on that score.

I get it, it's easy to be pessimistic, and until the Garland-Biden sequence of speeches I had more doubts than convictions that Trump would ever be held accountable. But I can't shake the feeling this morning that Biden was setting the stage for just that eventuality. Is there any other way to interpret events of the past couple of days?
