    They need to trot out "The Rock" or someone with some testosterone as his spokesman. He's a good guy, but he has zero "tough guy" appeal.

    Thankfully Conservatives seem to finally be learning that the WOKE have no honor, and that to act as if they do is to be a chump.

    I dont expect this rant from an Abuser to have any effect outside of maybe aggravating disgust.

    EDIT: THis guy sure is creepy!
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    You dumbbells can't tell the difference between a news and an opinion column. The depth of stupidity among Righties here is still surprising.

    The search, the Bureau's silence afterward while Trump world exploded, then yesterday's speech exemplified Theodore Roosevelt's maxim to "Speak softly and carry a big stick." The speech itself in that regard could not have been better.

    Garland is proving himself to be the Attorney General those who know him thought he would be. His "steel" is in his spine, not his mouth.

    The Trumpanzees believe that bloviating, bluster, and bullying = "strong" man. How very wrong they are. As usual.

    Only weak people like the Trumpanzees need someone who sounds and acts "tough." Real power is quiet and deadly, like the fer de lance.

    Yes, my friend, but we swim in a political soup where images and sound bites matter. That was my point. I admire Garland as a very qualified and honorable public servant. I do not admire his gravitas.

    What he lacks in persona he makes up for illegal tactics and style. Garland is a stone cold killer of a prosecutor. He lays back and waits for the criminal to make a mistake and then jumps.

    I mean.. like I just told our other poster, we live in a world where people are lazy. They pay attention to strong images and sound bites. The J6 team, for example. They're doing an excellent job of playing and replaying relavent soundbites and the national and local news stations are picking them up.

    It sucks. We live in a political world. The twumpazees are leveraging that tactic. We've got to fight fire with fire.

    I agree to some extent. However, my idealism insists that those in power act like rational adults, not tantruming toddlers like that orange shitgibbon we got rid of in 2020.

    People who truly ARE strong have no need to bully and bluster and screech.
