In reply to the discussion: Garland's Decisions For 2 Investigations [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(18,800 posts)1. If the "truth" you tell is imaginary, are the "scars" actually real?
Regardless of all the misinformation youve spread over the last few years, one thing remains unquestionably, undeniably true:
Your searing, blinding white hot hatred for Merrick Garland burns with the intensity of a thousand suns.
I defer to Master Yoda on hatred:
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering
What Yoda didnt speak on is that the suffering that comes from hatred often afflicts the hater as well as anyone targeted by their hate.
Sincerely wishing you a peaceful, hate-free Christmas and New Year. Self care will be critical in facing and resisting the challenges that lie ahead.

Sorry, Garland concentrated on putting away a few small fish while trying not to look "political" to the big fish.

Too bad you weren't around to advise the civil rights leaders when they called out injustices in the 50's and 60's.

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

Because it would have looked awful with a pending investigation against Hunter.

I was a Garland supporter for the first year or two. What a major, total disappointment he is, even derelict.
