    You mean the people who betrayed America and let hundred of thousand of Americans needlessly die in the pandemic?

    Then cut aid to foreign governments so they could bail out their authoritarian friends causing hundreds of thousands more people around the world to die needlessly?

    These people have been gleefully plotting to form hunting parties to track and murder minorities and anyone who’s against their agenda. Prison would be too lenient.

    Don’t worry Bannon, Democrat leadership doesn’t exactly have the best track record of holding criminals and actual enemies of the people accountable for their crimes.

      Exactly. I’ll eat my hat if any of the key people gave any consequences at all when all this is over. It will be all, “we have to look forward, not backward.” I wouldn’t be shocked if an elected Democratic president pardoned Trump and his goons so that we can “heal as a nation.”

        Garland’s understandable desire to appear a-political in the Jan 6th and Trump cases will be a stick the left use to beat the moderates in the Democrat party for decades, and rightly so.

        If Garland hadn’t wasted 15 months working from the bottom (rioters) up Trump would probably be in prison now. I think he was well intentioned but didn’t have the bottle to be the guy who put the wheels in motion for banging up a President.

      The only good outcome is a revolution and starting the Untied States over from scratch

        No revolution, but you really need reforms to the power structure and the way elections work. Starting with the current division of presidential power between a Prime Minister (or Chancellor) and a President. If you already had this separation of powers, you would never have been paralysed the way you are now; if representatives failed to reach an agreement to approve the 2026 federal budget proposed by the prime minister, the president would simply dismiss the government and call for new elections.

    Oh, Steve. If there’s any justice in the world, you’ll never see the inside of a prison. Just the inside of a blindfold.

    If you have to change the way the country works so you don’t go to prison, you should already be there.

    It’s not “those who will be targeted,” it’s those who broke the law. How is it that a group can claim they should arrest and detain/deport people for filling out a piece of paper wrong 14 years ago that had nothing to do with fraud, embezzlement, or hurting anyone. Just trying to work a 9-5 and provide for their families, yet this group can turn around and support people who are openly admitting they have committed crimes and should commit more while asking others to commit crimes to stay out of prison in the future.

    Alternate headline: Bannon tells GOP they’ve been doing just an absolute fuckton of crimes.
