      Batman can’t kill The Joker because, if he does, the writers can’t bring The Joker back in the next issue for Batman to defeat again.

      Presumably, Biden couldn’t prosecute Trump for the same reasons. Dems ran the same Pied Piper Strategy that worked so well in 2016, secure in their ability to defeat someone as easy and vulnerable as The Donald.

      Gotta give the people what they want. And what they want is another election with Donald Trump at the top of the ticket.

      Because he’s motherfucking fictional. Donald Trump is a real life comic book villain, and he’s also not even 1/100th as smart as the Joker.

      I agree. he gave him plenty of opportunities but IMHO what we consider justice doesn’t seem to apply to the ultra violent, rich or eccentric.

      the end game successes of capitalism are not compatible with democracy.
