I ain't no historian, but when an elite such as we now have owns the powers of government, they do not relinquish their grip without major force. They are gaming various scenarios to keep the same type of characters in control when the dotard drops or is deposed.

I think Trump, and his entire Republican Cabal should be sent to the Hague. Including the Repub U.S. Senators, the Repub U.S. House members, and The Repub U.S. Supreme Court Justices. Plus anyone Trump and the Republicans appointed to anything....

Oh, and reverse all of his pardons, arrest and replace all the Border Patrol, ICE, etc etc etc

by the ICC.
I know we opted-out to cover our potential need to violate.
But, it would be a service to the world for them to go on record.
Particularly to re-enforce the International Humanitarian Law as it applies to firing on the shipwrecked and Denial of Quarter.
This Is Heinous and a strain on our Legitimacy. (Like we need another).
