Those who will accuse me of beating a dead horse should take that horse's pulse: MANY in this

nation are no longer just impatient to see some Trumpie skins nailed to the wall; they are desperate to see that and beginning to actually question whether Trump and his disciples will in fact "get away with it". If you cannot see that such doubts about "the system" may adversely impact Democratic candidates in '22 and set the table for a "legal" theft of the White House in '24, you need to pull your head out of---where you've stuck it.

Yes, yes,---I am very much aware that "these things take time to do right", "the wheels of justice grind slowly" and so on. But, do the PTB understand that to tens of millions of Americans, such pronouncements amount to "YADA, YADA, YADA!"

This is an unprecedented existential threat to our democracy; to our way of life. Why cannot legal and Constitutional procedures be fashioned that will render justice at unprecedented speed? Much, if not most, of the evidence against Trump and company is on tape and film. Everyone reading this KNOWS in their heart of hearts that these guys were traitorous criminals.

Why have there been virtually no indictments of these despicable white collar thugs?

When will we be SHOWN that "no man is above the law"?

So, begin. Start explaining how I "don't understand" how things are done.

voters are denied their right to vote, the shit will hit the fan and stay hit. The fascists better hope their militarized goons in police costumes are as tough as they think they are.

And who committed it? I think the pounding home of the big lie, is just a way to insolate himself from prosecution.. as far as intent, knowingly, that kind of stuff. There are a lot of fall-guys...people that have dirty hands, but all he's got is a dirty mouth. Look at all the state governments that were ready to install him with their state legislatures. Trump is the face, and the mouth, but that's all he is. I hope they find something they can prove he did, but when you look at Florida, Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and all the other states that want to abolish democracy, it seems like there are not enough good guys who give a damn about the "United" States.

But, he's the leader. He stood up there and incited a riot to cover the coup attempt. He has done JUST WHAT HITLER DID. People always talk about Hitler, but this guy is manipulating everything so that he can still have a power grab. If the fascists gain power, our Democracy is OVER. I simply cannot understand why anybody would want to live under fascists.

Trump is associated with the mob, and he acts like a mob boss. People better wake up and strive to GTVO again. And, those officials who think it is cute that they are infusing daily politics and the Congress with confusing Pro-Trump radicalism, WATCH OUT! You are a minority, and although you are exploring every codified way to get what you want, in the end we will not give up the United States so that you can make a buck! Get the hell out of my country, and go live in Russia, or China, or NK!

Remember: Whatever Trump touches, dies. He's a liar, a thief, a pedophile, a rapist, a nasty toxic soul that is blackened. I am wishing that G-d would send a hurricane to flatten Mar a Lago. Just a minor footnote...
