Friendly reminder that James Comey and Christopher Wray could have done this at any time and choose not to. If Democrats do manage to take back a Congressional Majority and pick up a few gubernatorial seats in 2027, they'll once again be empowered by the engines of the state to retaliate against Republican criminality and malfeasance.

    If they take back anything, they’ll do exactly what they’ve done for the past 50 years of right wing power creep: wring their hands and talk about taking the high road and healing as a nation. We need a party that actually has the will to uphold laws. Impeach a president. Impeach congresspeople. Hold fucking trials. Throw fuckers in jail that belong in jail. We have a Supreme Court justice that has flagrantly taken bribes and refuses to recuse himself. Throw him in jail and say he can legislate from a steel toilet now. Just goddamn do anything.

    And will then most likely proceed not doing that. The current dems are a punch of wimps who bow to the corporate interests, just like the republicans.

    Unchecked power is dangerous.

    You are delusional if you think Democrats are taking power. The GOP isn't going anywhere. Fascism is there to stay.
