He was more of a sketch comedian turned Senator/podcaster than an actor, but they DID hold Al Franken accountable. Some would say excessively so.
People making shit posts like this and the hopebait pretending there will magically be punishment and restoration "once this is all over" are part of the problem.
They want to talk like its a foregone conclusion that the evil will fail and the good will prosper, but history has shown us anything but this happening, and we've literally seen no signs that they won't continue getting exactly what they want with only mild delays and roadblocks.
Trump is literally dying in front of us. Once the cult leader falls, there absolutly will be a reckoning. His base is tied to him specifically, not the party.
Wishful thinking. Go watch the videos of bush administration lackeys defending the Iraq war or Abu Graib. They were reelected shortly after all that came out. The conservative and evangelical coalition has always been there and is well beyond trump.
Dems are 100% capable of losing the next election

Also, frankly, even if the Trump family was as wealthy as Trump claims. Or had as much physical cash as Elon has assets / investments. It would be a drop in the bucket.
Nations operate on scales that are orders of magnitude larger than any privately owned wealth. That's kind of the point. This would be like levying a $1000 fine for a billion dollars in damages and expecting it to "be fixed".

It's a nice thought, but I don't think the American people have it in them to punish Donald and his family appropriately.
We didn't even punish the Confederacy appropriately, and those bastards killed hundreds of thousands of people.
the trump admin has killed hundreds of thousands of people

How about all 1%ers?
Over. When will it ever be over...When the fat paedo leaves office? Nope. He won't leave office until he's dead. If he's not dead when his term finishes he'll just stay in control by force.
So when he's dead?...nope, the rest of his scummy vomited sperm with legs will use all the means at hand to bribe their way out of it. Then they'll carry on being just as disgusting as they are now.
Just fucking do it today, by force. Then get his pieces of shit children next. Then investigate, then imprison. Don't wait, FFS.
When the USA is irrelevant. Don't worry, we're working on that.
"When" lmao this guy is optimistic.
Well cheetoh-brain is clearly too old for his position and in failing health. It’s only a matter of time, and not much of that. There’s every chance he won’t live out his term
It’s the family and hangers-on that are the problem. They’ve already looted billions from the country so are now part of the excessively wealthy. When they no longer have a presidential pardon to lean on, they are at risk of justice. It could happen
Right now my biggest fear is one of them turning that money into a political dynasty
Baron is going to be the problem going forward after these clowns are dumped. They have been grooming that for years now.
I'd be happy just seeing them all hanging from piano wire.
Not just the trump assets, the assets of all the tech billionaires and other billionaires that profited of the misery of the american people
Not just the trump assets, the assets of all ~~the tech~~ billionaires
Fixed it for you.
While we're at it, $100m is also MUCH more than anyone could possibly need for a lifetime, so let's include all hectomillionaires too. Especially Bill Maher.
They all look so angry and miserable.
Tbf, one of them also looks high af.
Not just tRump assets (though they absolutely need to come out of this destitute), but also Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, and Pam Bondi. They were his circle of evil.
And all of the justly tried and convicted traitors should receive capital punishment - no living out the rest of your life on the taxpayers dime.
I don't know. Except for a few really exceptional assholes, I like the idea of them sitting in a bare, cold/hot cell in Gitmo, for the rest of their lives, in solitary, and with absolutely no TV or reading material or conversation allowed, and they get the exact same basic food, like a hot dog and stale chips, for EVERY meal. They get no information from the outside world, and the outside world will never hear from them again, until the announcement of their deaths.
And don't bother with suicide watch. Nobody cares what happens to them. When they die, feed them to the sharks.
I think it's going to take a lot more than that to heal all the damage these chucklefucks have done to America's former allies.
I mean, the wealth of the 1% comes from more than the US. We would all like it back.
All we had to do is use the emoluments clause, years ago. Oh well, it doesn't matter now.
Don't forget the other officials and tech companies...
...oh right none of this will actually be done, because of the class war.

The sad reality is that the future Newsom government will want to "move past" the Trump admin, letting them get away with their corruption. Maybe a token-trial where one of them gets lightly punished.
We all know this won't happen unless Netflix or some steaming site make a fictional series on it and make this happen
Democrats will rehabilitate Trump the moment he's out of office.
Yep, I been saying that all along. He was deep in debt when he took office 2016, and became wildly wealthy through open corruption. So take away every fucking penny, and leave him and his demon spawn penniless.
It won't matter anyway, they'll all be in prison, except for the ones that dangle at the end of a rope.
I absolutely promise you that there will come a day when we dream of having the set of problems we are currently dealing with. We will look back at the innocence and care free joy of 2025.
Everything only gets worse. So while today might be the worst day in history, this is the best it's ever going to be. Remember how bad things were under Bush? Tell me you wouldn't trade everything to wake up in 2003. In 20 years you will dream of this life.
Here's the neat part, you get to have a cooling-off period before Baron starts running, and they do it all again.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
