Inauguration Day is only seven weeks away. In “normal” times, the outgoing president and his team would at this point be facilitating a smooth transfer of power—tying up a few policy loose ends, but generally making way for the new president and acknowledging the new political priorities of that president.
None of that is happening with Donald Trump. In fact, quite the reverse........
Given how the post-election period has developed, it’s not enough to remove this man from power. His authoritarian presence on the political stage, the cancer that he represents on the American body politic, must be obliterated, leaving absolutely no possibility of a second act. For he has in this past month declared total war on American democracy. And in this struggle, there can be no middle ground.
There is a lot of talk of “healing” and “moving on,” of ignoring Trump’s myriad crimes in order to somehow nurture the greater good. But healing involves, at the very least, acknowledgment of culpability on the part of the guilty—that was, after all, the foundational principle of South Africa’s post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Trump is not only not admitting any culpability, but his rampage against the legal, political, and cultural pillars of American democracy is actually intensifying as his term in office draws to a close.
Without even a nod to truth, there certainly can be no reconciliation. Trump’s disgraceful, dangerous behavior, from his self-dealing while in government to his last-ditch efforts to subvert the popular will, is cratering trust in American democracy. For this, he must be made to face a legal reckoning.

Please, Democrats, keep telling Trump that he and his family will never know a moment’s peace if he loses. Let him know that he has to win this, even if he uses the military option.
Fair enough, I will parry that with this statement:
Finding the traitors is not enough. They must be hanged.
Columbia University School of Bullsht.
This guy’s a communist and should be executed forthwith.
Also a lecturer at UC Davis.
Defund the universities.
With articles like this everywhere on Free Republic these days, I might as well read the turncoat Drudge Report. It’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference.
Them’s fighin’ words ...
Try it and start the war, buttwipes.
We’ve had it with you scum. After your quota Muslim president, the blow job president, the Texas career crook who perfected fake voting, and you deem to criticize Trump? Not to mention clowns like Kerry and Gore who brought the title of senator to new depths of disrespect?
We will NO LONGER PUT UP WITH LIBERAL CRAP.
See my tag line.
Learn it.
Love it.
Live it.

Standing ready.
Fake awards that prop up your propaganda do not count.
“prestigious” Universities don’t make you credible.
The only thing in this world that matters is your soul.
...and when it’s black, when you’ve decided you can feign emotion (gaslight) to manipulate others, you have become evil.
Sasha IS evil.
What reconciliation? There is no desire for reconciliation or 'healing' or 'coming together' on either side of the aisle. Trump spent his term being president for only half the country. Biden will spend his term being president for only the other half. That's just the way it is and the way it's going to be for the foreseeable future.
The only way to stop the tyranny will be by force. We need to choose subjugation or liberty.
Ironically, it’s hussein and she-devil Clinton that have needed to be prosecuted.
Be careful what you wish for, my dad always said, "You may get it."
If they lay a finger on Trump, it’s on.
He should declare himself Caesar. Not kidding.
General McInernery concurs. I’ll wager that Lt. General Flynn is also on board.
I am awaiting orders.
What does he do, go into the barber shop and say, “give me the Larry Fine cut”?
More low IQ commentary from the "Build Back Better" conservative contingent :)
