    I just don't want government controlling every aspect of our lives, especially when private industry is more than capable of handling it.
    Technically, the people are also capable of creating benign governments that actually serve its citizens.

    Private industry is usually too busy tripping over its own dick to actually get any meaningful work done.

    And yet, private industry is leading the way in opposing Nazis like Trump.

    Clyburn's statement today that democrats may wait until 100 days into Biden's term to send Trump's impeachment to the senate is a good indicator that the whole thing is probably dead. Yeah, those of us who care enough to chat on the internet about it understand why he should be convicted even if he's out of office - but most Americans don't understand it or understand why they should care as soon as he actually leaves the building. If the trial happens even one week after he's out, the general consensus among voters will be "yeah he sucked, but he's gone, why are we wasting time on this?" That will give enough Republican leeway to vote against, and even conservative democrats like Manchin may decide to vote against it for some extra points in their next election.

    I think you need to look at the recent election results. The people have spoken.

    Private industry greed and incompetence is what gave Trump his bullhorn to begin with.

    Man, this is gonna hurt. Fomenting a coup has real repurcussions, not just losing your social media accounts.

    The PGA will reportedly be stripping his Bedminster course from the PGA Championship in 2022.

    Without social media or golf, what does Trump have left?
    The man staged a failed attempt to overthrow the government. All of these repercussions he’s facing are a joke when you consider that penalty for treason is death.

    Yes, the people did speak.

    The people also spoke when they elected the Nazi in the first place.

    I have very little faith in "people."

    "§2381. Treason
    Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, OR shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

    Not automatic.

    One of my favorite quotes is "Brevity is the soul of wit," which includes my appreciation of the irony of its speaker.

    Just incited an insurrectionist mob to try and kidnap/kill elected officials and storm the Capitol building? BETTER GIVE A FOOTBALL GUY A MEDAL!

    During these trying times, Trump is giving the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the land...to Bill Belichick. Is America Great Again, yet?
