A lot of people in the replies/quotes are admitting that what they wanted was just an authoritarian ("but from the left") who'd order people jailed on his personal say-so, and that really tells you more about the reasons for Trump's re-election than any Harris campaign "post-mortem" ever could.
Question: Did anyone from the White House, including President Biden, ever tell you they expected you to bring charges against Donald Trump?
Smith: No.

That RFK Jr would lie to Congress is not surprising. What is outrageous is that Congress is not holding RFK Jr accountable for lying to them. The U.S. Constitution depends on each branch of government holding the others accountable to protect our rights & freedoms. #DrPanForCongress #AmericanValues
RFK Jr. broke almost every promise he made to senators to get appointed, turned #ACIP into a subservient mouthpiece rather than an expert committee, and put views over science at every turn. wapo.st/48YSPC1 via @rachelroubein.bsky.social @lenasun.bsky.social @laurenweberhp.bsky.social

I've done my research and it's clear that his hand is missing which means that all the Executive Orders and pardons he signed are illegitimate.
I am determined as God is my witness to start the Trump fake hand conspiracy theory. His hand isn't showing signs of an undisclosed illness. It's a fake painted Halloween costume hand because his hand was already removed. It's time.

There are only 45 million foreign-born people living in the United States right now, about half of whom are naturalized citizens. So this ridiculous edge-lord post by taxpayer-funded trolls is suggesting deporting 55 million native-born citizens.
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

The indictments were done with plenty of time to go before the election. Everything was done if not for the Supreme Court and for Republicans.
