    trump himself provides the argument for why going after political candidates for “treason” is dangerous. Because if he steals it, you can bet that a LOT of Democrats are literally going to be lined up against a wall and shot (or abused horribly if they are one of the women they are obsessed with…). All because they commit “treason” along the same lines that mtg and the like insisted on impeaching Biden as retribution.

    That said, we had four fucking years to investigate this and didn’t even start to do anything of worth until year three. And then gave up when one shitty judge stalled and a bunch of shitty politicians declared trump immune from all crimes.

      This is why it’s important to lock him the fuck up and make sure it sticks.

      He’s going to have people lined up and shot regardless if he has to do another insurrection or not. best make sure he can’t do that.

        His supporters will do it for him regardless, mark my words. We’re going to see instances of people being shot for being Democrats after the election regardless of who wins.
