(2,346 posts)But that is completely beside the point. We don't need any bullshit speeches about how if we all just stay calm, the system will take care of itself. These people are all afraid of upsetting Baby Donnie. Well, I have news for everybody. Nothing gets better by letting his campaign of retribution go without any resistance. There is absolutely no excuse for not having an arrest warrant by now.
That would be a clear signal to all the ICE thugs that they could end up in prison for their actions. Even if we can't arrest him immediately, he would not be free to move on his own. He might be safe in FL or TX. But with an arrest warrant, he sure couldn't come back to MN, or go to any of the other states where Trump is sending his thugs, for fear of arrest, leading to a long prison term.
Seriously, he could be looking at a life sentence. There could have been an argument for manslaughter -- until the ICE people denied a doctor's care while the victim was still alive. That makes it murder because it is a deliberate, planned act.
But that is all for a jury to decide. Right now, the first step is to show the people we are going to do more than bullshit, empty speeches. We must use the means that are available, and that means prosecuting under the laws of Minnesota, no matter if it makes Trump poop even more in his diapers.
Honestly, I can't believe so many Dems have so many excuses why we can't do anything. This is why we have lost half the people who once identified as Democrats.
Do something. Something more than empty speeches. People can forgive us if we try and fail. They can't stand watching Democrats not even try.
