I will continue pointing out what the whole loaf is, and insist it remains the goal.

The insurrection Republicans are embarked on under Trump must be stopped, and the best way to do it is to break its leader on the wheel of law.

Maybe the insurrectionist house scum should not have yelled all that bull shit at Garland yesterday, speaking to you Greasy Head Ted and Josh Hauling ass. Hope they pissed him off enough to get to work and do some justice seeking.

My throat still hurts from yelling at Cruz, Hawley et al this morning seeing the clips. I wanted to hit everything on sight. It would be good for my health if I had just a little of his composure.

Why shouldn’t he be held liable? He assembled the bomb and lit the fuse. When it inevitably exploded, he denied any involvement.

But I suspect that’s be because his bomb explosion did not produce the results he intended: him back in power in the Oval Office.

If it had worked as he intended, you bet he’d be all over everywhere, boasting and swaggering and patting himself on the back, throwing his weight around, and doing possibly lethal damage to our democracy.

are, believe them. He is a traitor to the Constitution by virtue of stating he wants to remove it. He supports Putin. Aren't those two things alone the definition of a domestic enemy in the oath he swore to defend the Constitution and traitor to the country?

Seems to me that locking that bastard up would send a VERY loud message to the public: that it doesn’t matter who you are, how rich you are, or how famous and/or influential you are. The law rules, and applies to, EVERYONE.

“Would YOU be able to slither away from the clutches of the law, when you broke and flouted and defied the law over an entire lifetime? Would YOU be able to get away with it without ver and over and over again? Would YOU surround yourself with cohorts and yes-men who would easily “just let this go”?

I wouldn’t be able to, either. Nor would you or I be able to manipulate government officials who’d rather not investigate or otherwise take the trouble to get to the bottom of OUR crimes and cheating and pathological lying.
