House and Senate say now. Will Lindsey say anything? apologize? Can the MAGA sitting on the fence now throw them all under the bus? No Republican should win any statewide or national office this mid-term. Between the Trump tax cuts and the damage they did, the awful suck up to Russia by half our Congress on the GOP side, the continuous lies, continuous obstruction, the Trump- Saudi, Bibi, Putin collusions. the fascist infiltration of our law enforcement and intel communities by the Trumpsters, the inflation brought on by Trump's buddy Putin with his war in Ukraine and the collusion of Trump's corporate buddies on pricing and fixing, overturning of ROE, the ruination of the SCOTUS from kissing Trump's ass ...what the fuck is the DOJ waiting for. LOCK THEM ALL THE FUCK UP!!
Truth is, Biden is too good for this country. So was HRC!

(4,298 posts)Christopher Steele: Igor Danchenkos unmasking and indictment is one of the most disgraceful episodes in US judicial history. Igor, a valuable FBI source on Russia, was thrown under the bus for partisan political gain. Imo the only beneficiaries from Barr and Durhams actions are Putin and the FSB.

(15,412 posts)if I could choose between Trump being destroyed, his fan base cut in half, him just being a lunatic screaming into the clouds OR to have him in jail I would take the first one every day of the week.
Why?
If he is in jail with a big crazy base out there thinking he was wronged, it solves NONE of our problems. We get revenge but that is empty.
Also, we forced Nixon out so they tried to force Clinton out. When Biden leaves office you get a bunch of goons in power again and they start locking up Dems.
We need to be steady and make sure we can prove our case and we need to chip away at his popularity.
Settle down. I trust the people in control to see it as we see it.

I see that argument is now morphing into "I don't care if he's ever arrested!"
The rest of us do care.
And two years later the "settle down" crap is not only obnoxious but also pretty ridiculous.

(2,357 posts)Landsberg prison from Nov. 1923 to Dec. 1924. Hitler biographer John Toland writes that in prison, Hitler not only penned Mein Kampf, but converted the jailers and warden to the Nazi cause. As a result, prison rules were bent to benefit Hitler: his quarters were made more "luxuriant" and prison rules didn't apply to him so he could work on his book. Moreover, he left Landsberg more determined "to carry out his long-range goals" to become "a true Fuhrer."
If tfg landed in prison, it would be a Club Fed hotel-style room complete with his favorite food, a nice bed, an equipped office, telephone privileges 24-7. He would emerge as an even more martyred champion to his base.
For me the best "punishment" would be a lifetime ban on ever holding any public office again.

(51,021 posts)crimes he committed in plain sight? He doesn't need to be prosecuted for them for ME to think justice has been served! And I have no trouble thinking that AND parrotting that no one is above the law! And I can talk to those who disagree in a tone that drips with condescension and keep a straight face!!!"
So this Independence Day are the sedition party members going to have a return trip to Russia??? You know to confirm their support? How was this not a billboard across America?

(12,595 posts)I mean, they'll support someone like Hershel Walker because he'll give them an additional Senate seat. The fact that he's barely articulate and has character defects exceeded only by TFG doesn't matter. He'll sit where he's told, do what he's told, and in general fuck over the people who elected him. And collect $174,000 a year from the taxpayer for at least the next six years.
