108. THIS - It must happen.

Poetic justice would be to use the guillotine built by his cult followers.

But the first ones under the blade should be Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn and Sean Hannity, with TFG watching - because they had his ear and used it to encourage his worst instincts. TFG wasn't smart enough to craft this on his own - so they gave him ideas and reminded him that he's got the power to succeed at a fascist coup.

The 1/6 investigation will reveal other bad actors, certainly among his family members, congressional republicans, his cabinet and advisors, plus funders and leaders of shadowy right wing groups.
