If or When the Democrats regain power

[edhopper]

over the smoldering ruin they leave our country in. We cannot "move on" , we cannot "look forward and not back". Call it justice, call it revenge, call it FAFO. We must make these mother fuckers pay for what they have done, every one of them.

[Irish_Dem]

1. If we don't prosecute, they will be back in power quickly.

[edhopper]

2. A lesson I hope we learned

from the Garland fiasco.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Yes. Abject failure of the DOJ.

[Emile]

3. Hopefully Garland is not the United States Attorney General

[swong19104]

14. Kamala!

Nail dem MAGAts to the wall.

[wolfie001]

25. Dude was scared of his own razor

What a spineless weasel.

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Like that time we threw Bush lesser and Cheney in jail for lying America into war?

Somehow, we must've missed that one.

Like the time Bush senior pardoned all the Iran-Contra traitors and, thus, his own prosecution.

[walkingman]

11. Exactly - thousands of innocent lives lost and no one gave a damn.

Our injustice system sucks. '

I would not surprised if we are not in another war soon - it is in our DNA.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

20. All the way back to the Confederacy.

[leftstreet]

32. +1

6. "We must make these mother fuckers pay for what they have done..."

Who exactly are ‘they.’

Trump will have immunity.

Musk, Vance, Hegseth, Waltz? Maybe.

But you’ll likely find the next Democratic president not inclined to prosecute a former president’s entire cabinet.

[newdeal2]

16. Start by using the same tactics to destroy the Heritage Foundation

And any other MAGA group.

[W_HAMILTON]

7. That will be my guiding light during the next Democratic primary.

When Kamala/Walz went with their Hope and Change 2.0, I was on board since it was a different approach than expected and, hey, maybe it would work!

But it didn't.

I want someone that will seek justice and exact revenge on these anti-democratic fuckers on behalf of our nation. I want all the MAGAt moles kicked out of government, I want all the Trump appointees and holdovers shown the fucking door on Day #1 Hour #1, and anyone that committed crimes during this administration knowing that the Trump DOJ would not prosecute them, I wanted them prosecuted immediately while the statute of limitations is still active.

Fuck kumbaya.

Fuck coming together.

I want them ground to dust.

Whichever Democratic nominee pledges to do that, that is the one that will get my vote in the primary.

[LeftinOH]

8. I have fantasies about Musk being stripped of his citizenship and deported.

[tritsofme]

9. Realistically, it would be difficult to do anything at the federal level. Preemptive pardons will be flying around like

hot-cakes.

At least as far as criminal prosecutions.

[Bettie]

10. YES! Yes! Yes!

We can't just say "we need to heal, so we're not going to prosecute anyone"....fuck that.

And don't put some "well, if we slow walk it enough we never have to press any charges" heritage foundation stooge in charge.

[c-rational]

12. Completely agree.

[dlk]

13. Accountability matters

Lack of accountability is taken as tacit approval.

[Dan]

15. One of the first things that should be done

Is institute a 90% marginal tax rate on the highest incomes.

Second thing is implement some type of regulatory rules on Social Media.

Third, re-establish a free press.

Four - overturn Citizens United .

Fifth - maybe try to get a real SCOTUS rather than that trash we have now.

Sixth - PUT TRUMP and his enablers in jail, and if not that, at least send TRUMP to The Hague.

[calimary]

17. ALL of these deserve a #1 ranking!

Institute a 90% marginal tax rate on the highest incomes.

Implement some type of regulatory rules on Social Media.

Re-establish a free press.

Overturn Citizens United .

Get a real SCOTUS rather than that trash we have now.

AND - PUT TRUMP and his enablers in jail, and if not that, at least send TRUMP to The Hague.

[wordstroken]

19. Exactly! Great platform! You run, you've got my vote!

[Hornedfrog2000]

18. Im sure schumer and the gang

Will write a neat speech.

[themaguffin]

21. I've been thinking about this a lot. The Dem pres needs to do this on day 1:

...during his speech saying optimistic things about our future and rebuilding, but then, add that we must prosecute.

I would even consider putting off the speech a day or two and get a few key things done. I don't know, but absolutely no normal, pretend this shit didn't crap.

[LoisB]

22. ABSOLUTELY!!

[AKwannabe]

23. Truth

[wryter2000]

24. I imagine

They all will have committed crimes. Indict them all and put them on trial, including the Orange abomination.

[Butterflylady]

26. One mistake in the title....

Not if we get it back, but WHEN we get it back.

[nowforever]

27. Unfortunately

Trump will be appointing a lot of judges including Supreme Court. Best outcome is democrats get back the House in 2026 and stop the insanity. Not sure our nation can survive 4 years of damage and not sure free world can either.

[Permanut]

28. Fix Article II of the Constitution..

I know, insanely difficult, but it should not be possible for a felon to be President of the US.

I would add more changes as well, which would of course, make approval even more difficult.

[Orrex]

29. The top priority will be to reach across the aisle

Preferably while peering over one’s half-glasses.

ENORMOUS pressure to “look forward” will come from the press, from the Right, and from moneyed interests.

It will take unfamiliar courage and resolve to avoid that trap.

[mitch96]

30. Yup, as the saying goes... "you don't bring a hot dish to a knife fight" nt

[Skittles]

31. HEAR, HEAR

HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE
