Can't someone just take one for the team and assassinate him? Like, I think he deserves worse than a quick or even a slow death, but at this point it seems like a totally acceptable option.

Long term thinking does not lead me to recommend martyrdom for Trump. He has earned more than enough of my enmity for it to feel right, but it's more important to destroy his movement at this point. The Union has to stop "losing the peace" to finally put this festering insurgency to rest.

He could die of natural causes and he will still be martyred by his cult unfortunately

When he dies, many of them will refuse to believe it. Some of them believe JFK is still alive. Not JFK Jr., JFK.

They must have his head in a jar somewhere like Futurama style

I think the idea is that when their leader is gone, they’ll scurry back to their sewers. Which is likely given they’re weak as f..k

It is hilarious to see you try to take the moral high ground on anyone. You can not begin to grasp what moral behavior is.

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent Cheeto?"

I want to watch him rot in prison.

I want him to watch them take his name off the tower.

I want him to watch Maralago go up for auction.

I want his assets to be sold for a fraction of their worth.

But I guess it's not about what I want and what justice can afford

He's scum but let's not make him a martyr for his cult. It's better to convict him and imprison him. He's so old and he's facing so many indictments, he'll likely die in prison. But let's also change the legislation for Secret Service protection so that our good Secret Service do not have to be in jail too. Taxpayer money shouldn't be spent protecting a former prez that couldn't fulfill their oath of office to uphold the law.

This type of statement always makes it sound like they would be sitting in the cell with him.

Which is, of course, ridiculous.

If Trump actually faces prison time, it'll most likely be in a separate facility where he can be kept separate from other inmates. And the secret service detail would become essentially jail guards. Probably a much smaller group as well, as thwy wouldn't need to protect him in such a variety of locations and situations.

Secret Service agents should not be jail guards in a jail. Jail sucks on either side of the bars. Secret Service agents should be protecting former Presidents that kept their oath of office, not traitors.

that's your opinion, just like i also have an opinion that my landlord deserved a painful death. What should i do? Fucking kill him?
