    Do it. Give him jail time. Because when it comes to politicians we need to hammer in a lesson: not only could it happen to anyone, but it it should happen to almost everyone. They’ll need to be held universally accountable for crimes (for a change), regardless of political party.

      I worry about Republicans taking power and using the trump trials as an excuse to put together kangaroo courts in places like Texas and Florida to actually do the sorts of politically based prosecutions that they’re whining about now. That should never be a reason to not uphold the law though. We cannot let ourselves be held hostage by what bad actors might do in the future.

        What do you think the Hunter Biden trial is really all about? What he did was going to be given a plea deal and it was all ready to go then they scrapped it and went ahead with prosecuting him. They can’t find anything to impeach or prosecute Joe Biden over, so they went after his son instead. Meanwhile they cry and scream and yell about how all 91 indictments against Trump are “”“politically motivated”“” and therefore invalid.

        They already have said that’s the plan. They want to go after Biden and his family, Obama (they can’t fucking get over that guy…) and whoever else was a part of any investigation of Republicans.

        Turn on fox news and watch the fucking propagandists go from practically in tears talking about trump, to literally frothing rage ranting about how all Democrats need to be jailed…
