Yesterday I finally changed my mind. I thought we should let Trump be gone and forgotten after he leaves office. I now think he and any enablers of this action, including police who let it happen, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This can't be tolerated. I also think any senator who kept up the charade after Congress reconvened in the evening should be expelled.

You either draw a line and protect it, or admit the line's gone.

Over here undermining the House or Congress with force is punishable with a life sentence.

We've been moving the line so far back that we're now at the Marne. It's time to bring the taxi's full of soldiers to the frontier.

He will see no prosecution as proven by the impeachment.

It seems unlikely. But what he will face is a whole bunch of lawsuits, hopefully including wrongful death from that dead cop's family. At least this will make him poorer and bothered. It's a small (very) consolation that he'll never be left alone.
