You may be right about some people but are wrong about me. Trump is shameful and should have been held to account by Republicans, long long ago.

No treatment of him by Democrats will be seen as remotely fair (and be honest, it won't be remotely fair), and only makes us progressively into more of a shithole country.

Not to mention, half of the lawfare that's being proposed is against Elon, who is abrasive but legally a far cry from Trump. It's just lawfare.

Edit: and it's too bad to see I was right about you!

No, you're not being honest. The consistent failing of Democratic attempts to enforce the law is having too limp a wrist. Being too meticulous, forming too much bipartisan consensus, giving too much opportunity for "delay until it goes away." All the way from Jerome Powell through the Epstein investigation to the Jan 6 prosecution.

If that changes -- and to be clear, I hope it does -- it will be a dramatic departure from trend.

I literally laughed out loud.

You live in a dream world.
