Summary
Merrick Garland’s failure to swiftly prosecute Trump for inciting the January 6th insurrection allowed Trump to run for president again in 2024.
Garland’s slow-walking of the investigation undermined the seriousness of Trump’s actions and normalized him as a Republican front-runner.
Garland’s inaction contributed to the current state of the republic, where Trump is poised to return to the White House.
I remember when Garland was nominated by Obama, and of course he was a olive branch to the unhinged teabaggers - who then pronounced him to be the second coming of Karl Marx or something. And now we see what a fire-breathing liberal he actually was.
In any case, the kid-fucker has not held the office yet, so judging if he’d be the worst or not yet is a bit premature even if Garland was unbelievably milquetoast in the fact of an insurrection and a coup attempt.
