I don't think trump should face trial

I think he should be hauled off secretly in the middle of the night and put in Gitmo. He should never be allowed to speak to anyone but the prison guards for the rest of his miserable life.
He is a threat to our country by the knowledge he possesses and none of us are safe when he is allowed to roam free and use our secrets against us.
There is short term precedent for this.

"I am entitled to DUE PROCESS!"

Republicans are all about that when it applies to them. But if a Democrat is accused of the same thing, "throw their asses in jail!" They could care less about justice for all then.

and forced to eat vegetables (served by non english speakubg deaf mutes) or starve.

i'm with you all the way. tell his family and followers that he fled to avoid prosecution and if they hear anything it is their duty to report his whereabouts.

now and again release a grainy photo of someone enjoying a cold margarita with epstein and a bevy of schoolgirls.

that he would destroy our very democracy if it benefited him, and yet he still hasn't been arrested and still continues to divide us with his election lies.

I sure he's a big fan of waterboarding other people, we should give him a taste. Liz's dad says it's not torture. Throw Sean Hannity in also.

Though it appears to be an exception, I also think that exception may be our only hope of ridding our country of this disease.

You're frustrated, I get it, but due process is a core principle of a nation of laws and what you're proposing goes against every thing that core principle stands for.

Not only is it a core principle, an open trial also ensures that his supporters will know its ends with a carefully and fairly considered outcome.

Secreting him away is exactly what the crazies want so they can turn it into a casus belli

Should we consider it?

The fuck? Really? Circumvent due process? That's the act of a dictator, not law-abiding citizens in a democratic rule.

I appreciate your sentiment, but remind yourself that the taint of Donald Trump should not define US.

He may not deserve due process, but it's in all our best interest for him to get indicted and have a fair trial. If you want to send him to Gitmo after a conviction, fine. I have all sort of other ideas for a sentence, as well. But, this renditioning stuff...nope, nope, nope. We didn't like it when the Bush administration was doing it to Iraqis, so please stop suggesting we do it to our own citizens, even one as abominable and loathsome as Donald Trump. It's a slippery slope we don't want to go down. It also martyrs him in the eyes of his cult. Why give him another opportunity to play the victim?

As for the threat he poses now, I guarantee you he's being watched like a hawk, as are his wife, kids, lawyers, and other toadies. And, they know it. He may be "walking free," but he's constantly having to look over his shoulder, and that ain't exactly "free." If he's stupid enough to keep criming, which I believe he is, then fine. It's just more charges to add to his docket.
