    Except Hakeem Jeffries told us all today that we don’t want retribution, we want “to get things done.” I would be surprised if Dem leadership will actually seek legal consequences for anyone involved in Trump’s admin.

    I suppose they could flee to Argentina: it’s had a tradition of welcoming fascists since 1945, and the place is run by one of their guys at the moment.

      My cousin married an Italian girl from Argentina. She’s in her 20s so I don’t blame her for nor do I ask where she was in the 1940s (if you aren’t a nazi and your parents are/were, awesome. Way to overcome a tradition of hate. That’s how I feel about my cousin in law. She’s pretty cool) but she gets a lot of shit for it for some reason, living in Miami.

      While Dems are debating whether they should punish MAGA, MAGA fully expects it, because they certainly would.

        That was the Biden Playbook, and it resulted in the Democrat Party having a lower approval rating than Republicans. They know that if they don’t go after MAGA, we’ll go after them in the 2028 primaries, and nominate every DemSoc we can find.

        Besides, here’s the thing: They’ll go after the MAGAs, because that will distract us from Israel, which holds the leashes of every top-level Democrat. We have TWO battles to fight, before we can gain real control, and start doing things like Medicare4All, Free College/Trades, etc.

      I mean, Bannon was convicted of both fraud and criminal contempt of Congress for not compying with the Jan 6 Committeec subpoena.

      He, in fact, did go to prison. Only for the pedo to pardon him later on.

      Congress should create addendum to the Presidential pardon. Complete pardon, unless the president is also a felon.
