Dems angry with Garland for not pushing lawfare

 Town Hall:

It’s astonishing how Democrats can’t accept defeat or take accountability. With Donald J. Trump returning to the White House, they’re directing their frustration and anger at one man: Attorney General Merrick Garland. Why? Well, because he dithered and didn’t aggressively pursue the phantom charges against Trump, which could have led to his being convicted or something. I don’t know—it’s hard to rationalize people who have a mental illness. It’s funny how they’re slamming the Department of Justice for being terrible at their jobs. The best is the opening line from The Huffington Post, where anger over January 6 was seemingly a bipartisan event—it wasn’t. No one cared except Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans, all three of them (via HuffPost):
...

It only reconfirms that the lawfare was a politically motivated circus. The charges against the J6 defendants are nonsense, and so is this notion that Trump orchestrated an armed insurrection against the country. It was unbelievable then, and it’s mocked and disregarded now. Democrats spent a ton of time and resources only to have Republicans coming in and controlling all of DC. If that’s not a sign that your argument sucked with voters, I don’t know what is.

Also, Trump being on trial, if it ever came to that, would’ve been another in-kind contribution. Second, he still would’ve beaten Joe Biden and Kamala Harris since most view the legal shenanigans as illegitimate. You cannot beat him, Democrats. The fact that Trump’s legal team successfully appealed and fought these ludicrous charges only exposes that there was a legion of anti-Trump lawyers willing to twist the statutes to the point where they were rendered meaningless to get Mr. Trump. We saw that in Manhattan; they did it at the state level. Luckily, there are enough judges to see through this circus.
...

The lawfare campaign against Trump was one of the biggest political mistakes the Democrats made and it is one of the reasons they deserved to lose in a big way in 2024.  Elections are won on issues about the economy and foreign policy.  Both were a problem for Biden and the Democrats who started his tenure in office with the highest inflation in decades and who allowed the world to blonder into war in Europe and the Middle East.  Garland had little to do with those issues.  In fact, I suspect the lawfare camping against Trump was one of the reasons the Democrats lost.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.

The decline of legacy media

 Candace Hathaway: President-elect Donald Trump's overwhelming victory on November 5 appears to have marked the end of an era for the corporate press. And that is certainly something worthy of gratitude this Thanksgiving. The outcome of the election revealed that the vast majority of voters were unswayed by the liberal media's relentless attacks against Trump and the Biden-Harris administration's persistent lawfare. Instead, America largely rejected the barrage of propaganda and negative coverage directed toward the Republican nominee, including outlandish comparisons to Adolf Hitler and desperate warnings of fascism. Even with the most prominent news networks behind it, the Democratic Party still failed in its mission to instill widespread fear among Americans about the prospect of a second Trump administration. So while the lights may still be on — for now — at the once-powerful media giants, Trump's landslide victory undoubtedly marks the greatest decline in their in...
