In my lifetime, Nixon was let off with a Ford pardon, Reagan/Bush were not held fully accountable for Iran/Contra, Bush/Cheney were given a pass. In each case the Republicans came back and were worse, because they didn't pay a heavy enough penalty.
This time we need to prosecute each and every one of them. None of this, "we need to move on for the good of the Country."
For the good of the Country we need to penalize them to the fullest extent, use every means possible to strip them of Govt Pensions, jail them for crimes committed against the United States. If not, then ten year later we will be dealing with something worse.

Of course Trump tower is totally leveraged, which brings the payout into the sub 1 cent territory.

(3,077 posts)It needs to stop now. I was livid when Pelosi took impeachment off the table and when we got no inquiry into torture and war crimes under W.
Beyond that, the repukes have been waging war on the dems for at least 24 years, and the dems never seem to get it. I feel like I've watched them trying to fight a gunfight with a butter knife since I've been old enough to be aware of politics.
I hope the democrats will finally learn this time. No more kid gloves, "moving on", or "reaching across the isle". Frog march the trumpsters into court, don't pardon them, and hang their crimes around the repulsive party's neck for the next generation.

A new poll out shows Democrats want new faces. I agree, we need a big generation change.
