The Trump Crime Family should have to pay for restoring all the things he's destroyed

during this term. The White House, the reflecting pool, etc. etc. etc.

He will be long dead but we should stick it to his descendants.

2. Everyone is ready for restoration, reversal, retribution.

It's a tall order. You need Congress and courts, and to do something about SCOTUS, like removing 5 justices. You need to fire and replace what remains of the executive branch. You need to pay for it all. You need to neutralize the press. And you need to run the country for lower costs at a time when we're bankrupt and unable to pay bills or borrow.

You have a plan?

It starts with killing the filibuster and expanding the court in 2029.

No need to embark on a futile attempt to remove five justices, when, with the right amount of courage, it is far easier to add 4-6 justices.

Reform the court (as you say, requires the Democrats to eliminate the filibuster--but it is already eliminated for confirming judges, so why not this?) completely, impose ethical standards, add justices. The current court will stop EVERYTHING a Democratic administration tries to accomplish with the current make up.

Asset forfeiture.

If Dems have the courage to expand the court in 2029, all (OK, many) things become possible.

And leon skum should have to pay all of us, personally, for the mental ratfucking we had to live through that either gave us PTSD or made what we already had far worse. Damages should be paid to every on of us. Richest fucker on the planet can afford it.

Lots of branches. Let’s just raise taxes on the oligarchs. Should cover a lot of the visible damage and that which has yet to be discovered.

... and when he croaks it will come out of his estate.

The settlement of the estate means all the creditors are first to get paid, and the heirs split whatever is left. If nothing is leftover after the creditors are paid, well so be it.

Musk could pay for it all with pocket change. But I would love to see the TSF’s family impoverished.
