A post-Trump Truth and Reconciliation Commission ain't gonna be enough to rectify the injustices of these four years. I want criminal prosecutions.

In honor of DOGE, we institute a new form of capital punishment called death by a thousand cuts.

Unless he dies in office before he gets the chance, he’s going to be issuing mass pardons of the people responsible.

Of course he won’t do it for free, and the ones who get prosecuted will be the low-level ICE agents who can’t come up with $50,000 in bitcoin before he leaves office.

Not to mention there is nothing that suggests he’s ever going to leave office. A massive failure of the J6 response is that he came too close to actually being held accountable but never really was. He’ll never let that happen again.

The entire reason this movement continuously pops back up in the US is because the people at the top are never held accountable. They scream political partisanship, go free and start scheming for the next attempt.

After due process, but yes, absolutely.

Why due process? Asymmetric fights are rarely won.

Let's hold the trials in Nuremberg.

I have no desire to "reconcile" with any of these sadistic freaks. Nuremberg or bust. And if the so-called "conservative" movement can't cure itself of recurrent fascism once and for all, then euthanize it.

Dems better have a "project" underway throughout 2028 which is set up to tear down and rebuild DOJ from the ground up. People need to recruited and vetted for immediate hiring including career civil service - not just political appointees. Need to fire people that were hired or acquiesced to Trump.

How adorable. The party that couldn't convict Trump on numerous federal charges over the course of four years, is going to pursue criminal prosecutions after this idiot leaves office? A) he would claim immunity and B) he's not leaving.

After convictions, karma would be sending them to El Salvador

Yes, please! We need accountability and consequences for all the villainy.

They’re all infuriating, but this one gets me white-hot raging. Force all those assholes denying her treatment to breathe through a coffee straw for hours on end with no relief and see how they like it.

luriethereal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes and the threat of prosecution is what makes effective TRCs possible (“truth for amnesty” in South Africa).

starmann.bsky.social•2 days ago

Lots of people need to go to jail. Hopefully whatever Democratic candidates emerge are willing to commit to using every lever of their power to punish these evil fascists. We do not need the Joe Biden/Merrick Garland/Chuck Schumer Dems anymore

Nuremberg trials.

At some point people of good sense need to figure out which DP congress members are likely to escape their primaries & be elected, and start pounding them *early* with admonitions that punishment & retribution are expected. The Executive Branch *must* be purged of its criminals & wormtongues.

I thought there was a court order a couple of weeks ago to relocate Ozturk to Vermont.

docstock.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s going to require Nuremberg-style tribunals and, importantly, corresponding sentences that are actually carried out.

yeasting.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s gonna take a constitutional amendment or two to get there, but yeah.
