instead of facing Trump in '24, indict, prosecute, imprison him now. Or, we'll likely face him in 24

release the unredacted Mueller report, today when Garland is AG instead of Barr. Release the full unredacted report to the public.

Appoint a team of special prosecutors.

Does anyone doubt what a team of real prosecutors would unveil if they investigated Trump-Barr crimes?

Prosecute and imprison Trump, or we may well face him again in '24.

The demand for special prosecutors is far out-weighing the supply.

This is the way to prosecute Trump. What else can I say? I don't have any more words.

Biden might whip the former guy's ass by 10 million votes in 2024. In the meantime, I'll rate my level of concern that the Republicans are indeed that stupid at about minus 2.

Again, are we supposed to be afraid of the guy who lost by 3 million votes and then, in his triumphant return to the campaign trail, lost by 7 million votes? I don't know a whole lot about statistics, but I AM able to see which direction the trend line is slanting.

But more important is the electoral college. That is our Constitution and how I determine whether someone won or lost.

There are many reasons they have not rushed charges, has anyone familiar with the law will likely tell you. Your claim that it's because they're cowards is baseless.

Turd committed genocide by COVID. He should face the appropriate penalty.

There was no single racial, religious, ethnic or national group targeted.

People died on all sides, even rethugs. COVID was an equal opportunity killer.

Gross negligence leading to death on a massive scale, perhaps, but genocide, I just don't see it sticking.

calling it Genocide, he willingly knew how dangerous the virus was, withheld testing and lied to people it was going to miraculously was going away, he did not listen to health officials or experts. The result was 500.000+ Americans who died.

He needs to have the harshest penalty.

It’s his smart disciples like Cotton or DeSantis that we should fear. The longer Trump sucks the air out of the Republican room the better.
