(14,838 posts)Not until trump and his family are in jail and stripped of ill gotten gains.
Because if we let up, and forget, it will soon happen again and will be much worse. If we were saved from this, it is only because trump is so incompetent he could only fail. The next tyrant won't be so stupid, and won't be holding anything back.

I just want this to wrap up so we can get on with repairs without having to trip over the grifters at every turn.
From the Cool Hand Luke Reformation Project, let's help them get their minds right!

(13,061 posts)and going forward there are many crazies among the GOP ranks waiting in the wings. They're freaking nuts and the majority of them with authoritarian tendencies. The whole party is now a cult. The few with some semblance of a conscience need to bail. This party must fracture and die a million deaths.

(20,733 posts)She would feel compelled to keep quiet. I think we need her exactly where she is. Okok: Of course she won and would have been a great potus, and we wouldn't be in so much trouble, now. Obviously. I voted for her. Of course. But this way, we get her unbridled wisdom for years and years.

(833 posts)are in the "basket of deplorables." Oddly, for all the furor that phrase aroused, it is less damning than what she just tweeted. Both are accurate. Hilary will come out of all this as a hero the voters elected but the electoral college shunned. The majority of us were right, of course, and history will deplore the result of that election. One of the best outcomes--way down the road--would be the abolition of the electoral college. Onward, towards a more perfect union!

(45,534 posts)This should set the stage for civil suits or local charges since the police were injured by people who back the blue so much they beat an officer to death.
And then there are pre-existing lawsuits for his corruption in NY and NJ. He can't get away with everything every time. One of these is going to stick and take him down.

(7,921 posts)It is why they were SO confident in the session following to vote against the EC count. Hawley and all the other GOP managers and congressmen who went on at such length to prevent the count being accepted. They knew before the act and they knew what it was supposed to be about: the 2021 version of the Brooks Brothers riot. They thought it was done to give them cover and lend credibility to disregard the EC vote tallies. I suspect they did not anticipate deaths, but with this vermin who can tell what they'll allow, or predict, or do themselves. They see US as the Enemy to be subdued in any way they can, by any means necessary.

(9,967 posts)... people are always saying they just wish politicians would tell the truth. Hillary shows us some of them just don't want to hear the truth.
