Legal system serves dose of reality to deluded Trump supporters

Rachel Maddow argues that while right-wing media may be able to sustain false narratives for its most dedicated followers, the evidence-based legal system has served a series of wake-up calls that have taken some of the air out of the right-wing bubble. Joy Reid suggests the DOJ should have played a greater, earlier role instead of leaving it to local prosecutors.

The advantage of State-level prosecutions is that they cannot be reversed by pardon by a future fascist US president.

What a pleasure to hear a conversation where 😊intelligent participants are listening to, and talking to, each other. And Rachel’s oil spill with shorebirds image was priceless!

[missopowers]

All smart, articulate women on this panel, and they are killing it. Excellent.

Hats off to that police officer who deliberately didn't hold the door for the Orangecon. That must have been for the first time that happened in decades. He tried to hide his shock by scowling hard.

Jack Smith is a true warrior and we will see justice prevail soon enough.. Thank you for sharing your excellent discussion ladies! 👍. So intelligent and heartfelt ❤️

[seattlegrrlie]

I didn't think about that, but Joy Reid is right.

Sounds true, Joy Reid! completely brutal for DOJ not to prosecute DJT and leave it up to these local/regional (if tremendously competent) actors instead.

[TaraZsun]

Love this all women panel. Love listening to such intelligent women. ♥

The absolute most compelling and profound comment is that of Joy Reid. Wow! 👏🏼

[abimbolaowolabi]

As an American, I felt America's institutions had caved in to Trump. I was wrong. GOD bless America.

[sandrapawula]
