I don’t defend Garland, I defend reality, by refuting your unsubstantiated opinions that you present as verified facts (yes, sometimes you include actual facts in your Garland bashing, but only as a path to insisting on a particular meaning gleaned from those facts).

Did Garland dismiss the Gaetz investigation, or was it the US Attorney in Florida?

Emptywheel appears to be focused on the challenges ahead, and the journalistic malpractice occurring on a daily basis. She has covered the Trump investigations exhaustively, and, aside from Smith’s final report, I’m not sure what else there is to discuss unless new information surfaces. There is no need for me to post past links from her site, as you never read them anyway, or if you did, your blinding hatred for Garland kept you from understanding the point she was making.

My scars have nothing to do with hate. My scars are the result of so many people attacking me because I keep posting the truth about Merrick Garland.

From my unscientific observation, it was only a handful of posters who challenged you on your false statements about Garland and the DOJ. Otherwise, your Garland-bashing threads often rose to the top of the rec list - seems that would give you quite a boost, rather than scars.

The fact is you seem driven to post Garland bashing OP’s almost daily, scapegoating him for everything from Trump escaping justice (when folks in the reality based community know the real villain of this story is the Roberts court) to Harris losing the election, to the heartbreak of psoriasis.

My wish is for you to, as Princess Elsa sings in Frozen, “Let It Go”, and free yourself from the prison of Garland hatred and let your self-inflicted scars heal so you will be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.

Secret things behind the scenes? Fiendish Thingy Dec 24 #59

So it is only for the people who disagree with you. Somehow, that doesn't surprise me at all. Scrivener7 Dec 24 #60

If Biden felt it was such a mistake to pick Garland, why didn't he fire him a couple of years ago? TheRickles Dec 23 #17

Because it would have looked awful with a pending investigation against Hunter. SunSeeker Dec 23 #21

If you think about that question in terms of political reality, you'll have your answer Orrex Dec 24 #71

He could have urged Garland to retire in order to spend more time with him family..... TheRickles Dec 24 #73

That would be effectively the same as firing him Orrex Dec 24 #75
