Donna, what else can we do? We are the adults in the room. Resorting to violence is Trump's domain, along with his band of misfits. I must disagree with your view on the court system. The lower courts have been quite responsive to litigation against Trump's antics, adhering to the law. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court is the exception, with many Republican appointees leaning towards political solutions rather than constitutional ones.

I agree with you. I'm just so frustrated, angry & upset. I don't condone violence. I shouldn't have generalized about the judicial system like I did. The R partisan SCOTUS Justices, and judges like Aileen Cannon & the TX judges that attorneys judge-shop for are the ones I was referring to, and the one who is trying to take away NC Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs' re-election she won by trying to have 60,000 votes taken away from her even though 3 recounts demonstratedthat she won fairly.

The Justice Department made several errors in handling post-election actions. Filing the classified documents case in Florida, rather than DC where the crime occurred, was the first mistake. While hindsight is always 20/20, it is crucial not to repeat the same mistakes.

As Tom pointed out, playing fair with these individuals is counterproductive. When the midterms bring a new face to the legislature, act swiftly. Impeach, impeach, and impeach, followed by convictions in the Senate.

Taking down these demagogues one by one is the only language they seem to understand. Trump sent a clear message that violence in his name is acceptable; we will send a clear message that criminal behavior has consequences in the civilized world.
