Learn from history - it we come out of this Dems must crush Republicans

[rufus dog]

In my lifetime, Nixon was let off with a Ford pardon, Reagan/Bush were not held fully accountable for Iran/Contra, Bush/Cheney were given a pass. In each case the Republicans came back and were worse, because they didn't pay a heavy enough penalty.

This time we need to prosecute each and every one of them. None of this, "we need to move on for the good of the Country."

For the good of the Country we need to penalize them to the fullest extent, use every means possible to strip them of Govt Pensions, jail them for crimes committed against the United States. If not, then ten year later we will be dealing with something worse.

1. We absolutely need to go all "shaka zulu" on their asses

[fierywoman]

2. And strip them of their ill-begotten wealth, ALL of it. Personally I'm fantasizing

about the asset known as Trump Tower being seized and it's value being distributed among all the immigrant families he caused to be separated.

[not fooled]

10. Would love to see

the kook brothers, shelly and the rest of the kleptocratic billionaires forced to disgorge the tax cuts, ALL of them going back to saint ronnie's. They have been stealing from the rest of us for decades.

Make this country functional again!

15. Did some quick math on that

works out to about $40 per individual based on Trump tower being worth about $450 million.

Of course Trump tower is totally leveraged, which brings the payout into the sub 1 cent territory.

3. That is the reason we are here.

4. have you ever seen dems holding reps accountable?

[rainin]

5. Nope. We have to demand it.

[herding cats]

6. To be fair, I've never, historically speaking, seen anything like this before.

We're in completely new territory here.

7. It's about fecking time someone is saying this, TY!

8. Ford made a grave mistake

When he pardoned Nixon. That act has led to Trump and his enablers.

[joshdawg]

9. Yep. IOKIYAR

A Democrat would have been pilloried.

[D23MIURG23]

12. "Grave mistake" nothing. Ford committed treason. n/t

[D23MIURG23]

11. They are setting up a prescedent that presidents are above the law.

It needs to stop now. I was livid when Pelosi took impeachment off the table and when we got no inquiry into torture and war crimes under W.

Beyond that, the repukes have been waging war on the dems for at least 24 years, and the dems never seem to get it. I feel like I've watched them trying to fight a gunfight with a butter knife since I've been old enough to be aware of politics.

I hope the democrats will finally learn this time. No more kid gloves, "moving on", or "reaching across the isle". Frog march the trumpsters into court, don't pardon them, and hang their crimes around the repulsive party's neck for the next generation.

[True Blue American]

14. Just one more reason

Pelosi has to go.

A new poll out shows Democrats want new faces. I agree, we need a big generation change.

[Johonny]

13. It's time for a wealth tax

They've looted us for years. We want are money back, signed The People.

[bluestarone]

16. YES!!!!

BEFORE RUMP gets all his judges in place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
