Upon our obvious victory let me be the first to say: NOW PUNISH HIM

Don't let him just sulk away. Don't let him skate for the "sake of reconciliation".

He MUST BE PUNISHED for the future health of this democracy. Joe, you must do what the rule of law demands and allows to make sure SHIT LIKE THE PAST FOUR YEARS can never happen again to our country.

Throwing their leader in jail is a good start. He doesn't get to Tweet from prison

Bad precedent to start jailing former presidents, no matter that this particular one richly deserves it. The usual response is “ move on”. Plus it will make a martyr of him and give the rwnj’s a long lasting rallying point.

The first thing the new AG must do is prosecute this monster. Then Barr. Then the 80 Republican enablers that failed to remove him when they had the chance. And that utterly failed to police themselves when it became clear in the first few months he did not have the temperament, intention, skill or even basic good faith to do the job.

Prosecute him for every single crime. No concurrent sentences.

Die in prison, Donald. Or kill yourself now. We don't really give a shit.

How many times have you heard how libs are weak? Time to put that myth to bed and I can’t think of a better way to do it. It isn’t just about holding Twitler and his accomplices to account it’s about showing the rest of the country we can. There’s a place between Obama’s “take the high road” and Twitler’s flat out bullying and I think Biden fits there quite nicely.

of drumpf-ism and root it out of the senate and house. They will be airing *all* the dirty laundry and crimes of those who never stood up to stop all this. Along with being a media powerhouse.

They stopped these last couple of weeks to bring the country together with their ads. January, the drumpf-ism ads begin. They'll be giving the ammo to committee's and prosecutor's, allowing PEJB to keep his hands clean.

That gets the GOP in the senate and house as well.

Let the state of NY go after Trump, he can't be pardoned for a state crime.

But I'll bet Trump flees the country right before the inauguration -- and then he'll continue to soak $$ from his followers with the "rightful ruler in exile story".
