Showing Original Post only (View all)Do Democrats have the chops to do what should have been done to Bush and Cheney? [View all]
America has always allowed its former presidents to get on with their lives.
Its tradition. Its custom. Its what we do.
Bushco lied us into a war that in many ways continues even today.
And we did nothing. Indeed, letting Bushco go is the only thing Nancy Pelosi ever did that I think was a huge mistake.
So what happens when Trump leaves office?
Will we say the pandemic and recession are much bigger issues and let him skate?
Will we go after him and treat it as Bread and Circuses as we try to get things back under control?
It is my view that we need to go seriously after him. That kind of criminality - and it is criminality, NOT politics - cannot go unpunished or it will certainly happen again.
