    Ye gods, America, you had four years and an open-and-shut case and it wasn’t enough to get rid of the orange ghoul.

      And just watch the neck breaking speed the Republicans rush through their political persecution cases. I expect to see Democrats in prison by the end of the first or second year.

      :(

          All this stuff is going to take years. It will be death by a thousand cuts. The people who are planning this aren’t going to risk moving too fast where constituents of blue states beg for secession.

          I envy their optimism at claiming they’ll end up in prison over a grave.

        Schiff won his new senate seat. It’ll be interesting to see if they go after a sitting senator

          I don’t see why they wouldn’t. They’ll say “we” went after a sitting president with impeachment so they’ll go after anyone and everyone with the fascist cheerleaders on Fox pushing for the death penalty (which they’re already doing).

        For what? What crimes can actually be proven in court?

          Shitlibs love making excuses for accepting a tiered “justice” system, they have no points, they just love the taste of boot.

          My point is that fascism builds until the root causes and those fanning its flames are rooted out and destroyed ala Napoleon, Mussolini, Hitler; or they burn on and continue to oppress under an authoritarian like Franco, Pinochet or Putin. There aren’t a whole lot of examples in between where an authoritarian relinquishes power after a short term.

          I know which one I prefer, and, from example, we can see a little jail time is insufficient.
