    It all started with fluoridation of the water supply in 1946.

    Seeing the backlash against Tucker and the Georgia Gov. and SoS - I think Trump is more of a Republican problem. Let them sort it out amonst themselves. No reason for the Dems to provide a unifying target - let the GOP tear themselves apart.

    I know Rudy was bringing up My Cousin Vinny, but lately, I’ve been thinking of the arraignment scene in that film, where Vinny keeps trying to tell their story and the judge has zero tolerance for that and keeps saying “what are you telling me? Are you pleading guilty or not?”

    I think the Dems need to start breaking things down very simply. When Rs start talking about the prosecutions being politically motivated, just simply say, “Did you do it or not, and is it against the law? Yes? Then shut the fuck up.”

    Go after all of them, even Lindsey and Loeffler for soliciting political funds in the Senate building. Is that a crime? Yes or no? If it is, then prosecute them. No more excuses.

    Heck, I'm fine with letting Trump himself off criminally, breaking him financially, taking away his attention, and destroying his circle of enablers. That will send the message to the future that needs to be sent. Hitler nor Trump rose to power on their own. They had a network of enablers. Take that away from any future populist would be authoritarian, and their rise never gets off the ground.

    The enablers are tens of millions of white racist American voters, full of hate for a world where they are not considered superior because of the accidents of their birth. These are people who donated to get a double murderer out on bail. Nothing to be done with them. Putting a bunch of leading Republicans in the hoosegow if they've committed crimes (much of what's been done is morally criminal but perfectly legal) is all we've got.

    Can't wait for Trump's Farewell Address. I'm sure it will be classy.

    Yup. Fifteen hundred people a day - or more - dying because of this virus ... but it's no big deal. Got it.

    More importantly, HOW SOON CAN WE CHANGE THE NAME OF THIS THREAD?

    Do we really need to wait until Jan. 20? It’s never too soon to excise the T-word from the lexicon, IMHO.

    It doesn't serve as a deterrent to anyone. That's not how those guys think.

    I just spent four years listening to an asshole whine that his political enemies should all be put in jail. I'm not going to start chanting "Lock him up!" now that Biden is going to be president.

    There's a lot that needs to be done. Trying to punish people for the last four years shouldn't be on that list. It's a massive waste of time and capital.
