War Crimes no but other charges perhaps. Of course, those charges would have to stick (unless the GOP turned the country into what Russia does) but yes, the new norm would then be Presidents being charged.

And we'll see. I am cautiously pessimistic myself though the most likely would be Georgia: she seems determined to go after the former President.

War crimes is a possibility that many republicans are warming up to. A lot are blaming bush and co for all the current problems so i wouldn’t be surprised if a new R president did exactly that


Hmm, tough to say considering people like Trump I believe did so as well. But if it does keep the President and other politicians straight, I'll take that.

Aye, but you are going after the King - and unfortunately, that requires a higher burden of proof, which yes, it has been met but you and I wouldn't be on the jury: your average jurist might be a different story. It's going to be exceptionally difficult to find an impartial jury given almost 160 million Americans voted in 2020 and opinions on Trump are well-defined.

You also have to consider the extra steps of vetting and protection: Trump supporters are bound to intimidate and attack those on the jury, as well as the judge and prosecutors.

Of course, none of that should deter Garland but if you're going after the King, you need to make sure your case is air tight, and criminal referrals by the committee may make Garland even less likely to touch it though it would increase pressure on him.


It already is air tight. What more evidence is needed? Indict him already.

It’s not anywhere close to air tight. There’s a lot of holes in the case that could cause problems

The entire senate is not up in any election.

The number of senators didn’t change, in fact in 2020 the vote share of the democrats went down by 8% while republicans went up by 6%.

On top of that the democrats lost one seat in the house while also losing 2% of the vote to the republicans gain of 4%.

Clearly the walkouts didn’t have the effect you claim they’d have and have actually made the republicans more popular not less

I would wonder why it even needs to be asked? Intimidation could be done in soft ways.

Uni is an experience. It’s not programming as the republicans declare. Hell I once had a raging Marxist for an economics professor. The guy would debate you to no end. And yet? When it came to the grades he judged the work rather then the ideology behind it.

The bill makes a survey asking if people feel comfortable expressing their political beliefs.

Which I think can backfire if Left leaning people feel like they can’t express themselves then maybe a victory for Liberals etc can be found in this.

Like what?

Testimony of certain individuals like the one about Trump grabbing a wheel. Conflicting testimonies and also there’s the fact that even if he was charged I’d say his likely hood of getting convicted is under 1%.

The fifth and straight up lying in court (not outright lies but saying I was forced to claim false testimony by congress) will be used

The United States is headed to an "uncivil" war, a cold war where people will openly call for the end of the Union. Not just on forums like this but actually on TV brodcast from both sides. This country will not be 50 states strong by 2030 I bet.
