While part of me likes this idea, I’m concerned about setting a precedent. We don’t want to normalize prosecuting/imprisoning politicians who had anything to do with the previous administration. Republicans (especially MAGAts) WILL abuse it, and instead of resorting to the legal system only in the case of serious crimes, they’ll casually use it against anyone they have a grudge against (which can be virtually anybody). I don’t want to read about a new batch of lengthy, expensive, ultimately unsatisfying trials every 4-8 years.
Democrats are hardly saints. I don’t trust them with this, either.
Yeah, i get the point but you're sorta kinda forgetting that little fact that trump is already a convicted criminal, who also defrauded so many people so many times (hello trump university!) AND HE FUCKING LED AN INSURRECTION
You're comparing apples with horse shit that went 3 years over it's due date
Thanks. I needed some perspective, and that helped!
Well you're very welcome!
