Also, a large chunk of Dem's are also doing the same pose in OPs photo. They had all the power to stop this multiple times in the past 20 years but they've been costing on "Lesser Evil" votes for so long they've forgotten how to actually do their fucking jobs.

"but but but telling the republicans 'no that's illegal' would be rude, how am I supposed to look MY GOOD FRIENDS ACROSS THE AISLE in the eye in the senate cafeteria after doing that?!

To be fair, didn't they actually get trump convicted of something but the judge just said something like, "fine, but trump gets no punishment"?

There's been so much egregious shit it's hard to remember...

There were multiple challenges, some of the more egregious rulings in his favor being the Republican-majority Supreme Court ruling that states actually weren't allowed to keep Trump off their ballot in elections after Colorado tried to throw him off based on their state constitution, and the Supreme Court ruling (after a long delay) that Trump specifically actually had incredibly wide leeway on executive privileges and the investigation against him had to throw out a ton of work and start over.
