    Biden did a lot of deeply frustrating and very wrongheaded things, but Garland for AG, imo, cleanly takes the cake. I genuinely cannot think of a more feckless, functionally useless, and societally harmful nomination that he made.

      I was vocally against it at the time, but too many dumbasses were way too into “poetic justice” to see how stupid making the compromise candidate your first choose was

        When I called out the appointment it was just a Republican in Biden’s cabinet who wouldn’t go after Jan 6 rioters or Trump, I was told I was being a doomer and unrealistic.

        I hate being right about horrid shit.
