    While I agree with your anger and frustration, in sure you recognize how dangerous of a precedent that would be. Instead, we should be going full RICO on the entire Republican party.

    A huge chunk of the elected officials on that side of the aisle are actively working to subvert democracy in the US. Endorsing Trump in an official capacity should absolutely be seen as a participatory activity in that context and those elected officials who have engaged in that should be held to account. The justice department should be looking to use this as a sledgehammer if they want to crush the rampant fascism sweeping the Republicans and their base.

      the reason we’re in this mess is none of you take it seriously enough… how many death threats against judges is it going to take… i’m sure Captain RICO or some other superhero will swoop in and set things right…
