If Dems had a collective backbone (yeah, I know, but let's pretend), they'd make it clear that, on getting back in office, they'll declare a state of emergency, suspend the part of the Constitution that gives the President unconditional pardon powers, and rescind every single pardon that Trump has issued unless it can be proven that it was not corruptly issued.

And while they're at it, remove every single Trump-appointed judge, reverse every precedential decision that MAGA-majority courts have made, repeal every single piece of legislation, and roll back every executive order and regulatory change made by the Trump admininstration.

And since we're on a roll, impose a lifetime ban on every single Trump appointee ever holding public or corporate office (after they're removed from office), and shut down and seize the assets of any phony non-profit that was interfering in the political process, and apply the same ban to any billionair donors of those groups.

In other words, turn the system off and turn it back on. Hard reset.

They control the voting machines now. As if we're ever getting another chance.

I don’t believe it. I’m certain if somehow we get another democratically elected president they will drop all charges in the name of “healing” and let the fascists regroup to try again.

There is no real history of holding the forces of fascist regimes accountable. If you're thinking of the Neuremberg Trials, I urge you to look up how many people actually got prosecuted and faced justice compared to the total number of Nazi officials. Spoiler: it wasn't many.

Thinking that members of ICE or supporters of this administration will face ANY legal consequences for their actions is delusionally naive. They won't.

Even in a magical fantasy scenario where MAGA loses all power, progressives get into office, and enact wide sweeping change to undo all of Trump's damage and ensure it can't happen again; the only thing that would happen to these people is that ICE loses funding and they have to find a new job. That's it. And in reality, even if a progressive takes office, ICE funding is never going away. Just look at the TSA, we were promised it would be a temporary thing in response to 9/11. Does anyone really believe it's temporary anymore? Does anyone expect even the most progressive politician to push to defund them?

Damn right we won't forget. We will hang every one of you fascist fucks if it takes every day for the rest of our lives.

We are coming.

The entire administration needs to be thrown in prison immediately. No bail.

I hope somebody throws a bullet+shaped pie at Miller right in his fucking forehead

Trump may have Supreme Court immunity, but his administration does not.

Who TF is "Jeremy Raskin".

Can we proofread at least a little better rawstory?

Didn't secret service shred their signal messages after the insurrection?

BUT if we Hold Accountable the people that are LITERALLY SENDING THEIR SUPPORTERS TO MURDER DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS it MIGHT look Political! BEST to Forgive and Forget!

If they are kicked out of power then won't he just pardon them all?

Weirdly their immunity currently can't stop bullets.

I sure hope it gives them pause, but I don't think any of these assholes will face consequences. I mean, if recent history is any guide.

The J6 terrorists got a slap on the wrist (and were all given a pardon by Taco), and AFAIK, none of the orchestrators of the attempted coup and those that planned and stoked the terrorism got any punishment whatsoever.

I wish I could believe that but.
