Nuremberg style trial after Biden wins?I surely hope there will be some consequences for allowing this to become a full blown pandemic...plus involving the Republican party and Mitch McConnell, Trumps family and his immediate administrative leaders he has in place.
IF there are 100 thousand plus dead in November, voting him out is simply not enough.

SEASON 32 EPISODE 8 GEORGE W. BUSH DOCUMENTARY / HISTORY
Conclusion. The evolution of Bush's presidency is followed, from 9/11 and the ensuing war in Iraq to his second term challenges, including anthrax scares, threat levels, Hurricane Katrina and the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression.
IF The Lincoln Project has successful effects, maybe some decent things will happen.

(23,336 posts)Ex-presidents are probably untouchable. Now, should investigations happen Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka, and Kushner, those might get interesting. Tax evasion, fraud, there should be a few things worth looking into.

(54,325 posts)There are certainly crimes enough to pursue. There will also be PLENTY of push-back by the bad guys if they are pursued, so the AG will need a lot of resources, including scarce funding from a federal government which will be strapped for cash for generations because of Trump's misdeeds. Meanwhile, frauds and thieves like McTurtle, DeVos, Kushner and Barr have enough cash socked away to hire a hundred clones of Perry Mason. It will be a battle that deserves to be fought, but it will not be a cakewalk. There might be some plea-bargaining in the most obvious cases, but I'll bet not one guilty plea.

I am fully against the death penalty except in cases like the Nürnberg trials. Trump qualifies. So does Kushner, Ivanka, Barr, and Moscow McConnell. Every one of them is a profound criminal and a traitor. Probably left some out.

Totally agree... "voting him out is simply not enough."
If we don't hold him accountable we are just enabling another to do the same.

1. Nixon
2. Reagan
3. Bush 2
4. The Titans of Wall Street
The U.S. Justice System does not promote "With Liberty and Justice For All".
The U.S. is not a member of the International Criminal Court. (This is intentional.)
The U.S. has been operating in a lawless manner for decades.
Globalization has shown just how corrupt and untrustworthy the U.S. is.

If we win we should be trying to distancing ourselves from banana republic governing and trying to bring the country together as much as possible. To prolong the pain of the Trump government would not be worth it.
