2. Just enough so that the noose breaks their neck rather than
slowly choking them to death, which is more than they deserve.

5. None. None at all.
No quarter.

Zero tolerance for those who tried to destroy this great country.

Impeach them, then put them on a plane to The Hague.

6. a good bit, change won't happen overnight and i'd rather have a really

8. All I ask is that they take the shovel away from George and Dick
straight away.

Then I'm willing to let them work up to getting us out of the hole.

10. We need the white house before we can fix a lot of the stuff
However if they let any of the destruction continue, I'll be pretty pissed.

The Dems will do what they can, however
the only immediate expectation I have is that they stomp on the "spirit of bi-partisanship" BS should some Dinos bring it up.

19. Reading this again and a lot of the responses, people are of two
minds as to who "them" is. I took "them" to be the Repuke motherfuckers who have been wrecking our country, but maybe that is not what you meant.

22. I never give the bosses slack.
They like to make themselves "leaders" instead of representatives. At which point Lord Acton's axiom kicks in.

23. Even if we only prevent the jerk from dragging the country down further,
that's a plus!! The jerk in office is dangerous and must be leashed!
