Don't you rather have these fuckers stand trial and be actually convinced? I know it's a long shot, but death of old age is to kind for them.
Where have several court cases got us? Nowhere, and into his second term. We didn't even get anywhere with the Panama Papers, and that was just averagely rich people and bankers.
Heart attacks will have to do.
I'd rather some more just form of death than anything having to do with the US "justice" system.
When someone is dangerous, honestly, it's just better for everyone that their ability to commit harm is immediately ended. These men are already all old and whether by natural causes or a victim's bullet, they just need to die. A court case would mean years and years of platforming and then ultimately a dissatisfying compromise.
Yea. I think Aileen Canon, the Supreme Court rulings, and the Georgia prosecutor BS proves that our justice system isn't functional and would in no way stop these people.
COVID could have taken care of a lot of them.
Yeah but that's never gonna happen as long as we live in a world ruled by greedy billionaires. So yeah, mfs like McConnel dropping dead is a good compromise, cos that means they can't continue making lives of every normal citizen worse.
This would be ideal, but if anything has become abundantly obvious over the last decade or so it would be that laws are only for the common folk.
I mean I'd rather Trump live long enough to be convicted, imprisoned (ideally by having alligator Alcatraz repurposed as a prison for convicted former presidents), have his name stripped off everything he's put it on in disgust, and have even MAGA reject him before he finally goes the way of all men in some suitably painful medical fashion. But that seems unlikely to occur.
Next Dem POTUS does need to use every power and immunity granted by SCOTUS to it's fullest before being a sacrificial lamb and getting impeached, then passing laws to prevent thta from ever happening again. Anything important that is held together by "norms" or by "no one would do that" needs to be codified into law explicitly.
There's no one in power willing to actually convict any of these people. Ultimately their crimes as politicians is that they intentionally do not serve the will of the American people or even their voting base. And if you use that as a guideline to inform who should serve prison time it includes Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton and a host of other powerful Democratic politicians.
That whole generation is a lost cause. Let nature usher them out ASAP.
Statistically speaking how often would this happen (in the normal day to day life not in a context like the French revolution)? Even then if the person knows too much the trial usually can't proceed as in the case of Epstein
Of course, but that's not going to happen. Death on the other hand, is inevitable.
