What message does it send when a govt won’t investigate an attack on its own Capitol by seditionists who now announce their plans for a sequel unimpeded? Or that the former POTUS was a known career criminal who pardoned the criminals who aided him? Who would trust that country?
Refusing to enforce accountability isn’t strength. It’s dangerous denial that hurts not only Americans but anyone who deals with the US. Yes, actions speak louder than words — and when it comes to elite criminal impunity and compromised institutions, there’s been little action.
Trump and his lackeys treated NATO like a protection racket, threatened foreign officials with violence, blackmailed others, backed the enemies of our allies and the allies of our enemies...and walked free.

Why would you trust a successor admin that won’t enforce accountability?
The Trump admin was a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government. A bunch of its lackeys are still in office. Others are roaming free with state secrets that could be used to hurt allies. If I were a foreign leader, I’d ask Biden about that ongoing nat sec threat.

Once again, Garland serves Trump and Barr. We warned you about this many times on @gaslitnation. The DOJ is a corrupt institution and Garland is a corrupt institutionalist.

In 2020, I wrote that the Biden admin needed investigations and prosecutions of three major Trump admin crimes. The Biden admin investigated none of them and as a result our country is in even greater danger. Meanwhile, the GOP created vigorous counter-narratives for each crime.
1) Trump handling of covid (letting virus spread, hijacking PPE, shaking down states, etc). GOP counter: China “origin story”

2) 1/6 attack by violent seditionists. GOP: “big lie”, “it was antifa”, “it was tourists”, etc

3) Trump is a Kremlin asset. GOP: Biden serves Ukraine.
I’ve written about the GOP tactic of preemptive narrative inversion many times (for example, “pizzagate” vs Trump/Epstein rape case).

What’s remarkable here is that the Dems barely bother with controlling the actual narrative — the truth! — much less investigating the crimes.

"Certain foreign powers wanted Trump elected as a way of getting Kushner, a life-long friend of Netanyahu and oligarchs from around the world, into power to carry out private kleptocratic initiatives and rearrange the power structure of the Middle East." patreon.com/posts/51998329
"What’s critical to know is that these plans are ongoing, even though Kushner is no longer in the White House. The biggest example of this is what former Trump officials and GOP members are currently doing in Israel." --@gaslitnation

"The Kremlin is holding a lot of good cards now, having installed their asset in 2016 and had internal access to the full US govt for four years. We see examples of this hold in Biden and Blinken caving on Nordstream 2." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/if-you-l…
"Elite criminal impunity leads to more innocent lives being lost. It endangers everyone who is doing the work of preserving democracy. The Biden admin needs to protect Americans from the virus of transnational corruption and authoritarianism." patreon.com/posts/if-you-l…
"The GOP itself is a national security threat. So congrats GOP on your trips to Moscow on July 4 and 9/11. Congrats for doing Putin's dirty work and showing that there is a sizeable power dedicated to crossing off the Kremlin wish list." -- @AndreaChalupa patreon.com/posts/if-you-l…

"The only time for Dems to act is now. Not in 2022. There is no 2022. The GOP is continuing to dismantle voting rights and pass laws that allow them to throw out votes at whim." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/if-you-l…
"Despite holding the House, Senate and Presidency, Dems are not passing voting rights acts. They won't abolish the filibuster. We've seen no meaningful effort by Biden, Schumer, or other Dem leaders to get Manchin and Sinema in line." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/if-you-l…
"Biden fully acknowledges that the 1/6 attack was the worst internal attack on the US since the Civil War. But he's not behaving as if it was. And it's actions that count now, not words." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/if-you-l…
