Obama hopefully knows how it's all his fault. He did jack and shit during his 8 years, 2 of which he had both houses of Congress. Meanwhile millions of Americans who needed help got nothing. Not to mention the 5 million folks who got kicked out of their homes because Obama felt like the too-big-to-fails needed bailed out but the average citizens were fine to eat shit. He basically elected Trump himself.

You're just a 12 year old girl throwing a tantrum. There is literally no actual political system in existence or that has ever existed that you would be happy with. None. In fact, none that you wouldn't shit on. Perpetual dissatisfaction is your creed...

Did you just let it slip that you're happy and satisfied with this current dying empire shit show we're living in? No wonder you're still voting Democrat. You're doing well enough not to care about politics or the 200 million Americans that are living paycheck to paycheck.

And you're doing poorly enough to be miserable under any circumstances, and I'm not talking about anything to do with money...

The DOJ is a political enforcement arm of the presidency.

You really have no idea how DOJ works

He is the strongest conservative candidate for the presidency

He is not a conservative. There are very few conservatives left.

I think I have a pretty good handle on how it works, and justice isn't equal.

as for conservatives, its a label -

A new contract between Minneapolis Public Schools and the local teachers union mandates that white teachers must be fired first when any kind of staff downsizing is initiated.

“Starting with the Spring 2023 Budget Tie-Out Cycle, if excessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the District shall excess the next least senior teacher, who is not a member of an underrepresented population,” the agreement, which was originally obtained by Alpha News, says. Minority teachers “may be exempted from district-wide layoff[s] outside seniority order,” and will also be given priority during reinstatement.

In addition, teachers at 15 “racially isolated schools…with the greatest concentration of poverty” will also be protected from layoffs.

“Past discrimination by the District disproportionately impacted the hiring of underrepresented teachers in the District, as compared to the relevant labor market and the community, and resulted in a lack of diversity of teachers,” the agreement adds. The agreement is meant to rectify past instances of discrimination through more and different discrimination.

Hans Bader, a constitutional lawyer, says that the measure is outright unconstitutional.

“When it comes to termination…an employer can’t racially discriminate even against whites. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 1996 [Taxman v. Board of Education of Piscataway] that an school district can’t consider race even as a tie-breaker, in deciding who to lay off, even to promote diversity, because that (a) unduly trammels the white teacher’s rights…and (b) putting that aside, the school district couldn’t consider race to promote diversity when black people weren’t seriously underrepresented in its workforce as a whole,” Bader wrote.

Bader also argued that the Third Circuit’s ruling is strengthened by a 1989 Supreme Court ruling (Wygant v. Jackson Board of Education) that stated that “a school district can’t lay off white teachers to remedy societal discrimination against blacks.“

James Dickey, senior trial counsel at the Upper Midwest Law Center, has already announced that he’s getting involved. He encouraged “any Minneapolis taxpayer or teacher who opposes this racial preference system” to send him an email at legal@umwlc.org.

Despite the backlash, however, the teachers union is sticking to its guns.
“It can be a national model, and schools in other states are looking to emulate what we did,” Edward Barlow, who sits on the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers executive board, told the Star Tribune. “Even though it doesn’t do everything that we wanted it to do, it’s still a huge move forward for the retention of teachers of color.”

At this time, no white administrators have volunteered to be among the first laid off at Minneapolis Public Schools.

Probably some truth to that. But I have my moments.

No way man, it's all a witch hunt, haven't you heard? The "deep state" (LMAO) all got together and decided to take this squeaky clean guy with no hint of crime or scandal and make his life a living hell, just for shits and giggles. That make WAY more sense than the alternative...
