    If we don’t have a Nuremberg type trial in this country by 2028 there will be no future for anyone here worth living

      It’s not gonna happen unless the populist left takes power, and only if they decide to not compromise this time, like they did during the time of the New Deal. And I don’t see that happening in time for 2028. But who knows, maybe I’m underestimating DJT’s ability to drive unemployment to the 20-30% range.

      Not gonna happen just like Obama refused to do anything about Bush era torturers covering for them. Barring a revolution Trump era officials will got off fine at worst having a single symbolic person given a slap on the wrist.

        You think there is going to be a country to go back to after Trump? Quit fooling yourself. He’s torn down all the progress you’ve made as a country in the last 75 years. It would take decades and decades to get back to where you were, and you’ll be left behind by the rest of us. Welcome to the divided states on America

      Yeah, the problem has always been that Democrats want to ‘look forward, not back’ and just don’t punish Republicans whenever they do this shit.

      Happened after Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr and Trump I. And then you see the exact same characters crawling out of the woodwork and trying again. Roger Stone is always there and hasn’t spent significant time in prison.

      Trump tried an actual coup and the only people that went to prison for it were a bunch of yokels who probably didn’t even know they were participating in one.

      11 were hanged. It was a symbolic guesture. You are already free to believe that fascism is over and that they don’t have any influence right now. You don’t need a trial, just close your eyes.
