The Democratic Party should wash its hands of Donald Trump?

[kentuck]

Let the news media report on him. Let SNL mock him. Let the Justice Department investigate and let the Courts prosecute. But, above all else, let the Republican Party deal with him. They own him and he is now their problem. The Democratic Party has already spent far too much time on this sociopathic narcissist. The Democratic Party should spend all of its energies on America's other problems.

Just my opinion.

1. I think any legal charge that can be brought against him should be brought against him.

He's been ruining lives since the 70s. His arena just keeps getting bigger. He needs to be stopped.

3. Charges won't be brought by the democrats unless they enact 14th amendment.

State and Federal charges aren't partisan.

[Squinch]

5. I don't care where they come from. I just want them brought.

[StarfishSaver]

10. Why do you think that?

[5X]

12. Congress has other work to do and is done with the impeachment.

What other charges could they bring? Charges will be up to SDNY, Georgia AG, etc.

13. 14th Amendment can't be triggered by Congress unilaterally.

It requires concurrence from the courts. So, basically, you have it backwards.

"Congress cannot simply declare an official outside of that body ineligible under Section 3 without the concurrence of the courts. To hold otherwise would allow simple majorities in Congress to oust federal and state officials without judicial scrutiny and would subvert long-established constitutional principles, such as life tenure for federal judges and the limits of the impeachment process."

14. Ok, but I was making the point that congress won't be the one to bring charges.

[TwilightZone]

15. "Charges won't be brought by the democrats unless "

"Unless" indicates the possibility of bringing charges if they enact the 14th Amendment.

That's not the same as "congress won't be the one to bring charges"

Secondly, it's not charges that are required. It's a conviction.

There's a lot of confusion about the 14th Amendment. Unfortunately, it's exacerbated by left-leaning media like MSNBC who bring it up constantly without the context that it requires a conviction.

[5X]

17. I said OK, I concede that point, but as I said, I was not making that point, but that congress

wouldn't bring charges.

2. do not name anything for him.

no honors. no statues. no library.

[bdamomma]

4. Now with

the acquittal of the murderer will our media promote and question for the next 3 years if he's going to run again??? If so, the media is just as bad as he is. Promoting a inciter???



But then again the Senate was not a court room. He will get his day in court.

[kentuck]

6. 57 Guilty - 43 Not Guilty - does not equal "Innocent".

It equals "Acquittal". There is a difference.

[bdamomma]

18. of course

he's not innocent.

[live love laugh]

7. Ignoring ** going forward is the best thing we can do. nt

[Blue Owl]

8. Fuck trump and the escalator he rode in on

[abqtommy]

9. I have no trouble ignoring tRUMP but we ignore his supporters and cultists at our peril!

[kentuck]

11. The Justice Dept and the FBI should crack down on them hard.

They have a good start with the names and photos collected on January 6th. They should all spend time in jail.

[bdamomma]

19. More stuff will be coming out

let the professionals handle it.

[Wounded Bear]

16. Pretty much what Pres Biden is doing...

he and his staff tend to deflect questions regarding whn* and whatever news is spinning around him. Meanwhile, they are at work trying to repair the damage done in the last few years.

So, I'm down with this plan. Better fish to fry TBS.

*whn=what's his name
