Lock him up !
Nothing will ever be fixed so long as he is involved in politics in any way. He is toxic for our country and for our citizens.
If the US Senate cannot find the courage or the backbone to do what needs to be done, then the Justice Department should find a way.
He needs to be locked up.
And if people get angry and want to storm our Capitol because their cult leader has been put away, then lock them up also.
That will solve a lot of our problems.

(15,154 posts)If he is given genuine consequences (prison sentence, perhaps) for what he did, it might give some of his cultists a pause. If it is all properly and legally done (I know, I know, Deep State) then it may slow some of them down. It's a step anyway.
But I don't think we can begin to address all of our problems, as you say, until we deal with this particular elephant in the room.

(796 posts)in this mess tells the MAGAts and criminals to just go for it, while creating massive anger from people who have played by the rules but have nowhere to turn for justice. Blacks are thrown in jail or killed outright instantly for nothing, but these bastards fuck everything up in a multitude of ways and suffer no penalties.
how are mike flynn and roger stone doing? is manafort even still in jail? and just watch, no one from the criminal drumbf admin will see a day in jail or, hell, even in court.
i'm completely sick of our country and it's worse every day.
