      I think its important that we get reminders of what he’s done. Things like this are too easy for the public to forget about.

      We have become a passive culture, waiting for things to happen instead of doing things to prepare.

      For example, I have spent most of the last week packing protest supplies in the case that SCOTUS says trump is immune to the 14th.

      You may be right in your sentiments and maybe nothing at all does happen to him.

      Which is why it is important we don’t forget and prepare to riot.

        While I agree, he’ll never plead guilty, meaning he’ll go to trial. And 30% of this country is deluded, the prosecution can only challenge a certain number of jurors, and it only takes one to hang the jury. You think they’re not going to be able to get one person on that jury?

          And here we expose the dangers of assuming all humans will act with honor and dignity, which those establishing our legal system assumed.

          If we get a hung jury, the nation will riot so I wonder at the end of it all the amount of damage done to protect this fascist asshole’s ‘rights’ will be worth the preservation of a system that is 100 years out of date.

          If he walks from this coup attempt, there is noting in this nation worth saving.
