Doesn’t “the public” tire of being lied to? Apparently not. It’s already accepted the corruption, racism and misogyny … even rape … by this guy. Must be exhausting always being a pawn.

When the Democrats take office after the midterms, the first priority must be impeaching and removing the thug. Next comes impeaching or ousting everyone in the administration who enabled him, including the joker who penned this BS. Then criminal trials should follow as needed. Once he is impeached, we hand the Orange Man over to The Haig and begin investigations of his family and anyone who bribed or otherwise supported him, ideally with a Special Counsel who will act faster than Merrick Garland or Jack Smith.

Taking on the Courts will be difficult, but it must be done. Not just the Supremes either. The entire federal judiciary needs scrutiny, especially judges promoted by the Heritage Foundation and appointed by Trump or Bush.

We cannot stop at the federal level. State officials are like nits; left unchecked, they grow into lice. We must strip away their tricks by rewriting federal laws so that any proposed changes to voting rules in any state are examined, just as it was once required for the Old South states to submit to federal oversight.

None of this will be easy. The only way to succeed is to have the majority of the people on our side. And we need a durable majority, something like the forty-year span from Roosevelt to Eisenhower, if we hope to achieve real change. Think about the progress made then. We could have it again if we just put on our big boy panties.

I know I am talking big. But the world we live in now exists because Reconstruction failed and Confederates were pardoned. There can be no such failure this time. Those who committed unscrupulous acts, and those who enabled them, must pay the piper. They must face the full weight of the law.

John Roberts is the Chief Insurrectionist, because he pre-pardoned Trump, paving the way for his return with the unconstitutional, shocking, and wrongly decided Presidential Immunity order.

I suspect you want it to say January 6, 2026 in the last paragraph.

Trump should have been removed by impeachment.

He should have been blocked from further state or federal office via the Fourteenth Amendment (along with failure to adequately address emoluments, resulting in Trump to continue to use his office for personal gain, Congress was negligent in that area).

There is currently a serious claim he should be disqualified by the 25A. As to January 2021, that is a somewhat unorthodox application, but it is a reasonable argument.

This is an institutional failure, with Mitch McConnell-led Republicans and the Supreme Court significantly involved. The Supreme Court slow-walked Trump cases repeatedly, including making blocking a criminal trial that was ready to be had. They didn't even SHOW UP (cowards) to release an unsigned opinion regarding a state's power to remove his name from the ballot.

And, yes, here we are, with the American public involved too. Ultimately, We the People have a significant role and what did we the people do? Re-elected the (expletive).

This wolf is a wolf, a poisonous rabid wolf that is infecting us all.

The scotus decision to allow trump to remain on the 2024 ballot was unanimous. I don't care any longer what the "liberal" justices reasoning was: can't have a "patchwork" of trump being on certain states ballots, and not on others, etc. They Failed to hold trump accountable for his crime of committing an insurrection.. After that ruling it was all downhill from this corrupt, treasonous scotus.

And, from AI google- "No ruling on insurrection: The Supreme Court's decision focused on the procedural issue of state authority versus federal power and did not rule on whether the events of January 6, 2021, constituted an insurrection or if Trump engaged in one."

Fucking Hilarious.

Make no mistake, this isn't just about rewriting history, it's about legitimizing his run for a third term.

That’s it? Five years later, and this is the grand indictment? January 6 is supposed to be the Left’s Super Bowl, Christmas, and Fourth of July rolled into one—and all they’ve got is recycled hysteria, ghost prosecutions, and a screeching op-ed about impeachment that already failed. No new facts. No new crimes. Just the same melodrama, reheated and served cold. Trump didn’t “return” because of institutional failure—he returned because voters rejected this exact nonsense. The public saw the overreach, the show trials, the censorship, and the lies. If this is the apocalypse they promised, it’s looking an awful lot like a dud.

Surprised that the WH Orwellian writeup didn't include a photo of the gibbet erected outside the Capitol building and any "hang Mike Pence" references...guess that may appear in future postings, as Pence has been clearly identified as one of the villains of the day.
