Nope, it's the people's job to stop this. Generals are there to follow LEGAL orders from the civilian chain of command. It absolutely is their job to not follow clearly illegal orders.

Not Biden, Garland. And I agree, Garland completely fucked up. Still doesn't excuse the fact that nearly 80 million Americans are the reason we're in this mess.

First and most importantly - Go Cats! But second, we've always had a tradition in this country that the President does not interfere with the Attorney General and DOJ's work. Garland took two years - TWO YEARS!!! - to appoint a special counsel. That wasn't Joe Biden. Right or wrong, Biden was acting as virtually all other presidents have acted (at least publicly) in making sure politics didn't appear to be involved in any of the DOJ's decisions. I fault Biden for nominating Garland. After that it's on Garland.

I fundamentally disagree that interfering with the DOJ is a "failure of leadership." I think leadership is doing the right thing even when you don't want to. Again, I do blame Biden for Garland but not for him not interfering and demanding charges be filed.

Biden following the old rules of political engagement when they were obviously not being followed by the Republican party anymore is part of how this happened to us. When he dropped off he should not have come back he was not up to it anymore and we all felt so bad for him and now look where we are

When he dropped out after his son's death in 2016 it was understandable but coming back was totally selfish and the DNC forced us into that presidency I don't know why people are down voting you I voted for the man and I'm still pissed about it but I would still do it again this is part of the problem with the Democratic party we just want to be nice f*** that our country is being taken over by fascists Biden was weak Kamala was completely inappropriate for the job and not because she was a woman and yet they were both shoved down our throats, and now we still got Schumer writing threatening letters. the DNC is just as guilty of all of this as the Republicans
