If we ignore it, maybe "it" will all go away?

Liz Cheney says that is what the Republicans are doing with Trump and the "Big Lie". But she does not believe it will work.

Neither MSNBC, CNN, nor FOX News covered the re-emergence of the criminal seditionist last night, but he was still at the front of their reports this morning? So, it does not look like he is going to disappear and neither are his supporters. They believe him and trust him over all the "fake news" media.

What should be done?

Is the DOJ working fast enough? Is there any reason to believe they are "ignoring" the Trump problem?

How much damage can be or will be done before anyone gets around to charging the traitor?

3. I think Trump's re-emergence

has been an utter failure so far. No, it’s not him we have to worry about but his acolytes like Ron DeSantis. He has a better chance of enacting a fascist agenda because he’s much smarter than Trump.

4. Relentlessly attack his coup-mongering, racism and fascism.

He should be a center of political struggle. Otherwise he will surely consolidate his hold on the Republican Party. Make the price high for the Republicans- they are still wavering.

8. I recommend "traitor" over "seditionist."

I think traitor has more punch to it and is a commonplace word. It also impinges on the right which wishes to “claim” that word.

I think that the DOJ is doing a good job. But there is the need for investigations that go beyond identifying those the DOJ is 95% sure of getting a criminal conviction of. That includes, but is not limited to, those republicans that played a role in January 6's insurrection.

7. I think it might be beneficial if a few Congressmen and Senators knew they were being investigated.

If they broke the law, they will be prosecuted.

Let them sleep on that.
