70. There are punishments that are worse than death for people like Trump.

Jan 2021

I would like to see him living broke and friendless, standing on a street corner, in rags, ranting about "fraud" while people cross the street to avoid him. That would also have the benefit of allowing us to retain our moral standards. Trump is an old man. Like most old men, he has probably come to acceptance that his mortality is a fact, rather than theory. Were he shot at dawn, he would forever be a cult hero. Being inconsequential and ignored would be much more painful and lasting than a bullet.

I don't want him see him dead. I want to see him punished.
