I think this has to be A top priority of the next democratic administration. The biggest mistake during the Biden administration would taking way too long to investigate Trump.Garland was too soft and wasnt able to get the job done. It is Paramount that the next democratic administration Old Trump in his goons accountable so that we can send a message to the right that authoritarian crap wont be tolerated

The first couple years will just be reassembling something resembling a Department of Justice. It’s not going to happen quickly. They’re going to be hollowing out the good people left at the justice department over the next four years.
That said they have to do it. They can’t just undo pardons because that’s not how it works but at the very least they should make all of the corruption very public and let the American people see for themselves.
There will be extensive work that needs to be done. Both on international relations and domestic policy and bureaucracy. Idk if there will be time for revenge.
For what? There’s nothing to hold them accountable for that we’re not trying to hold them accountable for right now. Either the courts are going to hold the line or they’re not. But nobody is talking about indicting anyone for anything yet. There’s talk of what Musk is doing is "probably unconstitutional", so people are filing lawsuits, but that doesn’t mean he can necessarily be held criminally liable.
Make no mistake, Trump is a rapist piece of shit with 34 felony convictions and he should be in prison. But I don’t see much stuff that you’d be able to legitimately build a criminal case on, yet.
Honestly, it’s probably not wise to focus too much on it, unless public sentiment changes. We’ve been told that we lost two of the last three Presidential elections because we were focused too much on the bad acts of the other side. So, we probably shouldn’t do that.
We should, however, work on shoring up our Democratic institutions, reimplementing the Fairness Doctrine, wrangling social media platforms into something more beneficial to the public, and unfucking our courts.
I think dems should move on from Trump and his administration and focus on good policy. The Trump people won’t be relevant anymore in the next election when Dems win.
It would only help the Trump movement to go after them by making it seem like this “deep state”, “globalist” tribe is trying to hurt the Trump movement. (Obviously using their terms here)
You have to actually just defeat Trump and his movement at the ballot box.
The whole reason we are in this mess is because administration after administration hasn’t been held accountable for their corruption. Nixon was pardoned. Iran Contra was swept under the rug. Conservatives wanted to fight against Communism, so obviously Johnson wasn’t going to face any actual consequences. I’m sure Clinton broke actual laws beyond lying about a blowjob, ones that should have actually been followed up on. Bush Jr should be in prison for war crimes, as should multiple people throughout Wallstreet for their corruption. Even Trump part 1 should have resulted in jail time for basically everyone in power.
When it’s clear there aren’t consequences for corruption and criminality, that just makes corrupt and criminal people more emboldened.
We have some space in the Tower of London and quite a few old dungeons that haven’t been used in a while. Happy to help if needed!
Yes, but:
It CANNOT be packaged as holding the Trump admin accountable. It needs to be packaged as strengthening the checks and balances on the federal government, to return power to the voters and protect the people from government overreach.
A side effect building a government that can be held accountable should be, you know, holding the government accountable, but it can’t be about Trump.
Not just this administration. Start prosecuting any elected, CEO, or other clown fucking up our country to the fullest extent of the law like they would someone born in a trailer park.
lol yall think the dems are ever gonna be allowed to win again? Funny
It’s genuinely cute that you believe there will be a next Democratic Administration.
I think we should be tallying every crime every day and even if it means Donald Trump spends the rest of his life in criminal court crying immunity, they should still prosecute every single one.
To the last man
So accountable that right wing extremists would rather leave the country.
If they were smart, they wouldn’t do anything drastic.
When Trump is gone (either term’d out or dead), his allure is lost. If you go around politically sniping other conservatives, you’re just going to create an entire party of martyrs instead of one martyr.
I think it should rank just under rebuilding the government institutions that Trump is destroying. And I don’t think it should go through the DoJ. It should go through the DoD. Because the GOP is engaged in a rebellion; a coup, and they need to be treated like that.
