A periodic reminder that this administration needs the gallows when it's over, if the Republic survives that long

Now I'm wondering if Rule 3 (from @johnrogers.bsky.social ), came about from Reconstruction, Nixon, white collar stuff in the 80's... Little column A/B, maybe. But yes, definitely agree.
Unfortunately if we ever pull ourselves out of this the Dem coalition will likely do everything it can to forgive and forget. They have one move and it's "capitulate and give up"
Pardoning Nixon remains a mistake
Just like it was a mistake not to string up every confederate higher than the rank of private from a sour apple tree. Appeasing reactionaries and people who would destroy what democracy we have will be the death of this country
💯
Wild to see a in-house counsel Posting Like This. But yes, there have to be serious consequences for the people responsible for these crimes.
Few things have radicalized me quite like 10 years of Trumpism
I’ll be honest, it’s pretty scary how quickly the last 90 days have changed things. I find myself thinking things that would sound absolutely insane. And yet, the response must be commensurate.
I suppose the wall would be more efficient. Honestly not sure which sends the better message
I don't think it matters as long as a rich white guy is forced to be held accountable.
Good opportunity for some A/B testing. It's important to collect the data for future antifascists, because "never again" turns into "what's the big deal?" inside of three generations, apparently.
Mix and match as required. There's a lot of fascist heads to roll but the real important ones can be left hanging upside down from a service station for the necessary messaging

“a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came.”
This is one of the dumbest things I've read in awhile, and I've read Elon Musk tweets A Second Amendment solution now would be beneficial for everyone, but idk if you noticed he's rather insulated from opportunities Go touch grass bsky.app/profile/aleb...
I especially like Extra-Spicy Greg. We need to have an IRL conversation sometime soon
Side effect of spending the past week in Chicago I guess 😂
Hard city of hard men, plus me also.
It seems like a nice place! Has a lot of the verticality of NYC but without a hundred people breathing on your neck when you walk somewhere
Kurt Vonnegut really appreciated how the alleys enabled trash to be somewhere that wasn't the front of every sidewalk.
Right?? I was wondering why every other "street" was so narrow. But then yesterday I saw the trash collection and was like
"completely outside of anything I would consider reality" says more about you than it does me tbh Be blessed bsky.app/profile/aleb...
This app has a prevalence of folks who reason much like that guy. They have this idealistic, self-righteous and somewhat fantastic/fairytale-ish worldview that is largely devoid of logic and practicality. They also tend to lead with insults. I’d feel bad for them but eh, fuck them.
Are you not both saying the same thing, outside of what appears to be a call to reason that "further damage can be stopped if people in the system do their jobs instead of waiting?"
It's just typical reply guy'ing Someone says "I like waffles," reply guy goes "why do you hate pizza???" Same scenario here. I go "they should hang," reply guy goes "you're so evil for not saying they should hang NOW" Even though them hanging now would be totally fine too
Someone out there doesn't understand that "when it's over" and "when it's over four years from now" are two different statements.
I feel like maybe the fuck off part is severe but in light of how a lot of the establishment that we've always been taught was there to stop this type of thing and actively isnt, (yet we still get their adherence to The Rules) it's understandable as a lead-in. Immediately would be ideal for sure.
You're unhinged and completely outside of anything I would consider reality.
No, he's Greg.
Guillotine
Gallows feels more thematic given how many Nazi lovers are in the current admin
A wall can be used as makeshift gallows, so 🤷♂️.
I'm sure a captive bolt pistol would be far easier.
Model the whole thing off Nuremberg, right down to the charges levied (plus treason) and the manner of execution. Hold the trials in Mar a Lago and give them that name so it is forever associated with justice. Some prominent news outlets with plenty of Streicher wannabes, too.
One Tall French Choppy Boi FTW. Such panache.
Then put their heads on pikes afterward.
i'm for whatever method is most humiliating as they deserve that as well
A wall has symbolic value given the president's previous obsession with them.
Either way works
I support the 8th amendment, but I still think they deserve hanging, drawing, and quartering.
And not necessarily in that order
"Use every tool in the toolbox"
A gibbet on the Mall?
As American as the gun is, we do have a looooong history with the rope.
Maybe a gibbet?
0% tariff on rope
That's right. The only viable way forward is rigorous and relentless Reconstruction.
Before jail I think Stephen Miller should have to lead the naturalization ceremony for all those wrongfully kidnapped.
They need to meet Madam Guillotine.
Yeah. There is no way out of this that doesn't involve a lot of ugliness.
Exactly.
they can choose the gallows or the wall, yes
100%. We all know what the punishment for traitors is. People just don’t want to hear it.
Fuck you so hard. If they "deserve the gallows when it's over" then they absolutely should not be allowed to finish terms and remain in office. This is like saying that you'll politely wait for a mass shooter to finish before you take him into custody.
WTF is wrong with you.
My government is actively trying to kill me and the assholes in charge say shit like "Wait until they're done."
What part of when it's over implies waiting till his full term is done? Like if he's out of office early that still means it's over.
Are you under the impression that Greg is in charge of anything?
