We already look like laughingstocks to the rest of the world when we beat our chests and brag of our democracy and rule of law.

The only way to save our reputation and bring the criminals to justice is to put the hammer down and choke them to death with it.

The country will recover. I'm not a conservative and don't give a shit about Republicans, but an effective opposition party is what this country needs right now as a counterbalance to Democratic policies, not a bunch of fascists that pretend to be one thing but intend to be something entirely different.
