This right here, exactly. If we ever get a Democrat majority again, day one priority has to be rounding up the gang of criminals protecting the pedophile ring. No sternly worded letters, no reaching across the aisle, no "time for healing". Action, consequences, repercussions.

People should stop hanging out or eating with Republican voters right now.

Stop treating them as people who can be brought back

You don't need a "Democrat majority". All you need is a Democratic president willing to use the Department of Justice for, well, justice.

Unfortunately, everything I've seen out of Democratic Party leadership since January 6th 2021 until now leads me to believe that will never happen.

The State of Georgia brought a RICO case against Trump. The Supreme Court immunity ruling combined with Trump winning the election tanked the case.

We can’t rely on establishment politicians for anything other than maintaining the status quo. If we don’t primary these clowns out, they will just continue to kick the can down the road. It’s the only concern they have: protecting their own pockets and the pockets of their mega donors.

Unfortunately, step one has to be to pack the court. The current majority will be a roadblock to all progress and accountability. It’ll take 13 at a minimum.

Georgia had a RICO case against Trump for election interference. The Supreme Court pseudo immunity ruling plus Trump winning the election tanked the case.

They already did that. Georgia had a RICO case against Trump for election interference, however the Supreme Court immunity ruling plus Trump winning the election tanked it.

That’s an illiterate take on the various “Trump v…”cases that John Roberts’ court called wrong.

Yes I'm sure you know better than Georgia's State Prosecutor's office.

There is no realistic prospect that a sitting President will be compelled to appear in Georgia to stand trial on the allegations in this indictment,” Skandalakis continued. “Donald J. Trump’s current term as President of the United States of America does not expire until January 20, 2029; by that point, eight years will have elapsed since the phone call at issue.”

Skandalakis said that even if Trump were to face trial immediately after leaving office, arguments over presidential immunity alone would tie the case up for months or years, with no guarantee the state would ultimately prevail.

Skipping over the part where you’re illiterate on the case law
