    Jeffries line of thinking is how we got into this mess to begin with. If we’d have prosecuted Trump for the treason of jan 6, he’d never have gotten a a second term. Jeffries is a coward and should not be in a leadership position.

      If we’d have prosecuted George W Bush’s people for their self-dealing, the torture, the assassinations, and extraordinary renditions to CIA blacksites maybe Trump wouldn’t have even bothered running for office in the first place

      Also, Nixon should have hung for undermining Vietnam peace talks in 1968

        Add in Reagan for Iran-Contra, Gingrich for undermining and poisoning democracy, and Kissinger just because I want to celebrate that death again

        I’m still kinda bitter about how everything after Bush was handled. The platform Obama ran, the margin he won with, the national attitude even! He could have started rolling back everything Bush, try to actually deliver change.

        Maybe all the entrenched institutions would have been able to push back. But we’ll never know, cus the admin never even tried.
