Gov Pritzker: "You can delay justice for a time,

[JustAnotherGen]

But history shows you cannot prevent it from finding you eventually. "

He's meeting me where I'm at.

onald Trump has already shown himself to have little regard for the many acolytes that he has encouraged to commit crimes on his behalf. You can delay justice for a time, but history shows you cannot prevent it from finding you eventually. If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me, not time or political circumstance, from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

As Dr. King once said, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. Humbly, I would add, it doesn't bend on its own. History tells us we often have to apply force needed to make sure that the arc gets where it needs to go. This is one of those times.

Indeed, and as he said earlier in his speech:

Finally, to the Trump administration officials who are complicit in this scheme, to the public servants who have forsaken their oath to the Constitution to serve the petty whims of an arrogant little man, to any federal official who would come to Chicago and try to incite my people into violence as a pretext for something darker and more dangerous, we are watching and we are taking names. This country has survived darker periods than the one that we're going through right now, and eventually the pendulum will swing back, maybe even next year.[/excerpt]

When I say this does not end well for the magapubs - I mean it. And I believe Pritzker sees their eventual punishment in the same way I do.

Necessary so this never happens again.

4. If Governor Priztker runs and wins

I doubt he will let bygones be bygones. Everyone below the office of president should face conquesneses for subverting the constitution.


If Obama had thrown the bankers responsible for crashing the economy in jail back in 2008, we wouldn't be here.
Iceland threw theirs in jail. Worked out fine.
Unfortunately TSF will escape conquesneses thanks to the supreme court. I can only hope for his quick departure in some fashion.

5. K&R - he's got the mind, the clarity, the courage. - unfortunately, I'm a jinx.

6. If he can't back it up with something, those words are meaningless. I assume he's holding some good cards, at least

I hope he is.

10. What do you want him to do?

Specific ideas?

[Fil1957]

11. I want him to be able to do something. I don't know what that would be because unlike Pritzker, I don't have access

to the information and resources that he has. I hope he has options that I don't know about if Trump moves in. My point is that tough talk can backfire if there is nothing solid to back it up. I'm hoping Pritzker can back it up.
