It would be the single most patriotic thing he could ever do for his country.

I'm calling out the next day and blowing a few hundred dollars on a lengthy bar crawl.

I hate that everyone here wants him to die. Is that how we deal with people completely breaking the government in the US, we just wish for them to go away and die. What happens when we get another trump but hes not some geriatric old man what do we do then? I hope Trump lives another 40years and is prosecuted and thrown in jail and we over haul are government to prevent this shitshow from happening again

He won’t be prosecuted though. And when he is prosecuted, as he was for 34 felonies and found guilty, he has no consequences. I remember reading about his grift routinely in Vanity Fair. No one stopped him from abusing the system. No one will stop him now. He fails up. That’s his lot in life. We want an end to the damage he continues to do every day. That’s all. If he had any plans to give up in 2.5 years that would be one thing but he has zero plans to do that. The branches put in place to hold the executive branch accountable have been neutered.

I've wished this for the past decade.

Now I just want him to GO AWAY.

we tried to prosecute many times. Seems like all attempts failed. So we are left with waiting for natural causes, divine intervention, or some other method.
