That sorry fucker should have been legally dealt with years ago. Shut his ass down immediately!

Why do we keep doing the shoulda, woulda, coulda? It's going to bite us in the bum eventually.

So he's "running" again to lead the government he attempted to overthrow?! What sense does that make and how is this legal?! Those violent January 6th insurrectionists have been charged, tried, convicted and jailed - why is the guy who precipitated the insurrection still loose, let alone "running" to try it again?!
