What good is being president if you can’t instruct your justice department to investigate the woman you raped? Excuse me! I thought this was America!

OK, but if she wins again Trump gets hanged. Deal?
Nah, the fix is in. Trump's administration doesn't even pretend to be on the up and up. Openly corrupt and the conservative wing has lost its mind more than usual to approve the behavior, whether it's in courts or congress.
They are going to toss her in prison for daring to inconvenience dear leader.
This justice department is very incompetent. The only political prosecution they ever got to a trial I can remember is the guy who threw a sandwich at one of their thugs, and the jury threw that shit out.
Everything else has been dismissed because this is the worst bunch of lawyers to ever lawyer.
2 years ago, career attorneys with decades of experience would drop everything to get a job in the justice department because it was so prestigious. Now they're having trouble recruiting kids straight out of law school graduating at the bottom of their class.
And federal judges are DONE with these clowns. It's not just a presumption of innocence for the defendant. The justices's default assumptions are increasingly that the justice department is actively lying.
All pretenses of not being a personal bludgeon have been dropped.
Was there any pretense before?
Well corporate media outlets held a pretense to toe the line and try to keep social democratic movements from gaining popularity by pretending all is normal, all is well.

Actually she is his adjudicated rape victim, not accuser
CNN is owned by a MAGA billionaire shithead and the use of the word "accuser" instead of "sexual assault survivor" is likely intentional.

Literal political weaponization to go after a victim of your leader. The Republican party is so despicable...

Accuser makes it sound like he was not found guilty of rape. If Trump is not impeached the US will be rightly viewed as an autocratic banana republic.
I feel like we blew past banana republic a while back and are onto deciding whether we're a nation of laws at all anymore. The idea that the US is a democracy is laughable.

First he raped her. Then he violated her. Now he will try to kill her. I want her on a coin.
She should get the entire slush fund.
^ This.
Cannot wait to see some reporter or politician ask Todd Blanche if she's eligible for the money.
Is this the same administration that said Biden weaponized the DOJ?
Every accusation is a confession of either what the Repedopublicans are already doing, or what they plan to do.
Every. Time.

Will no one rid us of this turbulent ~~priest~~ Todd Blanche?
God I'm so sick of this entire corrupt administration and their fucking childish vindictive bullshit.
The GOP just HATES the law. They must despise having a Constitution which establishes a country of laws since they allow this kind of autocratic dictator shit to keep going on under their seal of approval.
Wilholt's law:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
STOP. CALLING. IT. THE. JUSTICE. DEPARTMENT.
It is the JUSTIFICATION Department.

Why is this not an Onion headline?
Finally a good use for my taxes.
Hasn't he given her enough money? You already know she's unforgivably litigious, so you give her another reason to sue, after the judge inevitably throws out this case, like they've thrown out every one of these cases?
He hasn't paid a cent
And it sounds a lot like you're accusing her of being vexatious
Why the fuck shouldn't she be vexatious? Doesn't that just mean angry? I think she's justified in being angry.

Good thing they just created a fund for people who are victims of a weaponized justice system.

I didn't rape that woman, I only rape children. I didn’t loose the 2020 election. My very fine phone call with Georgia proves that. 🫲🍊🫱
The irony of him drawing more attention to this through his vendetta.
Attention and then... what? There's no consequences for this horrible man or his administration's illegal acts. I console myself by hoping victims get justice in the next life...
What can we do? You're exactly right but we as the people need to claw onto what little power we still have.
True. Sorry for being defeatist. We definitely have to resist. Shit just sucks...

Threatening a mosquito with a tank. This is so obviously djt threatening the entire public that nothing serious can come out of it. This is the circus they voted for.
Remember all the assholes in the Tone Police from the "liberal media", as well as all the reactionary centrists, as well as a few self-styled online leftist revolutionary types were all spending lots of time and energy wagging their fucking fingers at Biden pardoning his family?
Seems he knew full well what a goddamned monster Pumpkinhead and his crime wave really are. If I were to criticize this action, it's that he didn't spread the net much wider.
