his communications about January 6 how carefully he was avoiding being explicit, supposedly maintaining what's meant to serve as plausible deniability (in legal terms). "It's going to be wild!"

It will end up being the only way to silence this threat to our democracy. If he would leave the country, never to return, that would be acceptable to me. It would be acceptable because getting the pus out would be of paramount importance to the safety of the country. Let all those who worship him get in their rowboats and see if they can keep up with his yacht.

I think that if he were to be just incarcerated in some prison somewhere, a minor industry would pop up around him, and we would have to listen to his whining until he dies. This man is like a rust on the steel of our nerves, some infectious biofilm that needs to be wiped away. So, yeah, send him to prison. He has done no less than the skankiest of his followers, and that woman who got shot and died for HIS cause deserves to see her mentor land in the jail in her place.

LOCK HIM UP!

... it couldn't make for a better story line.

What's scary is it isn't fake and after hearing about Antifa justification for insurrection act today it gets scarier.

I don't think it'll ever happen and I don't think there's enough to convict.

I think the best opportunity is the Georgia case.
