Don't let him just sulk away. Don't let him skate for the "sake of reconciliation".
He MUST BE PUNISHED for the future health of this democracy. Joe, you must do what the rule of law demands and allows to make sure SHIT LIKE THE PAST FOUR YEARS can never happen again to our country.

(13,262 posts)Bad precedent to start jailing former presidents, no matter that this particular one richly deserves it. The usual response is move on. Plus it will make a martyr of him and give the rwnjs a long lasting rallying point.

(11,206 posts)The first thing the new AG must do is prosecute this monster. Then Barr. Then the 80 Republican enablers that failed to remove him when they had the chance. And that utterly failed to police themselves when it became clear in the first few months he did not have the temperament, intention, skill or even basic good faith to do the job.

Die in prison, Donald. Or kill yourself now. We don't really give a shit.

It isnt just about holding Twitler and his accomplices to account its about showing the rest of the country we can. Theres a place between Obamas take the high road and Twitlers flat out bullying and I think Biden fits there quite nicely.

They stopped these last couple of weeks to bring the country together with their ads. January, the drumpf-ism ads begin. They'll be giving the ammo to committee's and prosecutor's, allowing PEJB to keep his hands clean.

Let the state of NY go after Trump, he can't be pardoned for a state crime.
But I'll bet Trump flees the country right before the inauguration -- and then he'll continue to soak $$ from his followers with the "rightful ruler in exile story".
