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.

The TDS crowd keeps using the word Authoritarian, but are too deranged to see Trump is possibly the least authoritarian President in decades.
Trump has done nothing illegal.
No, he shouldn’t.

Yes he should.
If this steal remains unchecked, our country is gone.
Trump is our last chance at saving our nation just like Lincoln.
Trump is the most vetted President in history.

I personally do not mind seeing a commentary from a Leftist media being occasionally posted on FR.
One per week would be enough to satisfy my interest in seeing what Leftists are reading these days.
Witch hunt and prosecute Trump, great to bring unity and to untie us as Americans, huh, AbramskyIdiot?
But then again, being born and raised in the UK does not make you American anyhow, right?
I join you, but we will have to put some of our own in cages. They are not to be trusted.
There are dung flingers all over Free Republic. They are like monkeys playing with their own feces.
These leftwing communist totalitarians want to eradicate history and anyone associated with defending our Constitution.
They are truly satanic evil.
Time is running out for the good guys and we are close to all-out armed civil war.
The only question is what side will police and military choose?
I guess it’s important to know how angry these folks are. I am Pretty sure most folks here don’t agree with the conclusions.
That expresses the thought of the left. When they are in power, they are nazis. When they are out of power, they accuse the humans of being nazis.
Don’t act shocked when they do it.
I thought the US died in 2008 when Obama won?
Obama sucked for 8 years, but that’s how we got Trump.
For fun, Trump declares Martial Law, then what?
What’s the plan moving forward?
What precedent is now set?
“For this, he must be made to face a legal reckoning.”
OK, great. Now what are the charges?? What laws were broken? Where’s the evidence?
This article appears to be from a full blown black commie outfit, something only the most die hard commie lefties would read.
And just what are President Trump’s myriad crimes?! In fact name just one ‘crime’ please. Waiting.....
You are right. These people thrive on hate. They view things through a lens of envy and greed. Anyone who is successful through hard work is someone they hate. They think that person exploited others to become successful. Although some successful people like Bill Gates are OK now because he turned leftist and hates others who work hard now. I posted this story to help others know who these people are and help them understand that we probably can’t just get along.
We never got Trump. The Uniparty invalidated his election via the ongoing coup and disenfranchised us. That is the “precedent now set”
Sic semper tyrannis.
