It sure looks as if Jan. 6, and the entire Trump presidency, were planned and funded by oligarchs in the shadows
onald Trump and his allies and followers were involved in a conspiracy against American democracy, the Constitution, the general welfare and the rule of law. Trump may have been president by title, but not in spirit or through his actions. At almost every opportunity he betrayed the presidential oath and worked to undermine the United States and its interests.
The examples are legion: Trump was elected with the help of a hostile foreign power and appeared to do its leader's bidding throughout his presidency. Trump engaged in acts of democide against the American people through sabotage and willful neglect in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Trump is directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of more than 600,000 people in America. He was impeached twice something unprecedented in American history for crimes against democracy and the Constitution.
Donald Trump was grossly corrupt as president, using the office to enrich himself, his family and his political allies.
Trump and his regime debased America's democracy and political culture, elevating neofascism and white supremacy in an attempt to create a new form of apartheid. The damage Trumpism caused to American society has created a full-blown political and social crisis. Matters are so dire that many observers, including President Biden, have described the Age of Trump and beyond as the greatest threat to American democracy since the Civil War.

Confiscate thier wealth to pay back the country for thier crimes against democracy.
Make it so thier spawn have to get real jobs. Hopefully minimum wage since they have no skills.. Than throw the ogliarches in federal penitentiary forever. It must be a regular prison the poor and people of color get stuck in..
For me I would prefer they get a trial on tv and then executed.
