In reply to the discussion: Top Oversight Democrat says Merrick Garland should testify on Epstein [View all]KPN
(17,279 posts)Garland as you seem to assume. But he did in fact oversee the DOJ, and there's absolutely no question that enough was not done to avoid the absence of accountability that threatens our democracy as well as national and global security today. Foreseeing the possibility of what we are now faced with is and was not rocket science.
What strikes me as contributory is all of the Dems who unfailingly defend every single past failure by blaming rather than taking responsibility. There's plenty of that to go around right here in fact. Though I suspect some will see this statement as just projection -- as usual.
Unbending defense and loyalty couched as objectivity is a recipe for repeatable disappointment.
Oh, and objective proof? Please show me the objective proof of economic betterment and strengthening of the working middle class over the past 45-plus years. Show me the record of success; our record of success in that regard.
