    Look, I’m going to be honest, if a Progressive or Democrat good on the campaign trail and says they would use all of the powers granted to trump against all Republicans in a goose and gander situation, they’d have my vote.

      “All billionaires will be summarily executed and their assets will be distributed to the citizenry, and the Heritage Foundation will be declared a terrorist organization, and all current and past leaders, funders, employees, and judges endorsed by them will be immediately sent to a prison camp in El Salvador” seems like a winning message.

      And anything the president wants only needs an executive order, it seems, so it should be pretty easy to implement.

      I’m not about revenge, I’m about making the world a better place for everyone, even the people who want to make it a worse place.

        Good for you. I am and I also think using the powers Trump has been given effectively would make the entire world a better place.

          Do you think that will make it better or worse? Cause you know it’s going to swing back the other way at some point, and as aggro as they already are toward the left, can you imagine how they will react when they have legitimate reasons to think they’re being targeted?

            Well I suppose between using the DOJ to prosecute “criminals”, prevent Republican firms from practicing law in federal courts, arresting Republican judges including the SC, and following through with Trump’s “homegrows” plan, I guess I’m not seeing a problem.

            But I’d settle for taxing the living fuck out of conservative churches and other non-profits that violate not staying out of politics.

            For now.
