      Well let’s not say anything too outrageous here. They need to be tried in a court first, convicted, which should be a slam dunk, then imprisoned for life or executed. We still have laws, its just that no one has been following those laws-- from either party, or in the supreme court, so we’ll need the ICC’s help to sort this especially as it involves crimes against humanity. We need to sign onto that court-- it might literally save the country. We already had US laws against shipping weapons to genocidal regimes before this all started and that didnt stop either party. The dems who allowed those shipments should be in chains and awaiting their day in court right next to trumps war criminal cabal. Theres still a way out of all of this, although I dont have much faith that our country will find its way toward actual honorable justice.

        It’s not outrageous. It’s what The Constitution dictates for High Treason and Sedition. Which I argue the Republicans are guilty of and then some.

        Republicans deserving execution should be the default position at this point, we should normalize it.

          I dont disagree with your wanting to see accountability and you make a good point about normalizing it. But as cops know and exploit, the idea of acting in the interest of justice and going through the motions puts people at ease and in line with letting it play out. So its useful.
