“If there’s a command and control we’ll go after them and bring them to Justice”

I think that speaks for itself....

At this point it seems inevitable that nothing will happen.

The Republicans will spend a few months playing this down and Fox and OANN will push non stop lies and conspiracy theories.

He will be acquitted by Republican senators who will then lie about this incident until it fades from the memory of the Republican base, who will suck it all up and beleive every word because all they really want is an excuse so they can get back to always voting Republican so abortions are as illegal as possible and millionaires get tax breaks in case they win the lottery one day.

The Democrats will put forward logical arguments and point out laws broken and be met with jibes and gaslighting. 2 months into his presidency Biden will wear a beige suit or eat a hot dog wrong and the Republicans will make it a bigger issue than January 6th.

The country is fucked. Republicans had the chance to reject populist authoritarianism and instead they've forgiven everything in less than a week, because they are more worried about not being in power than destroying the country.

I don’t think people realise how much damage this administration has done to the West and NATO.
