If you want to wrestle a pig, you have to get in the mud. This is why no one takes them seriously.

Democrats don't even have to get in the mud. They just have to play Hard Ball. We have a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, and a thick book of laws, and we ignore MOST of them, except for the ones that exploit workers.

It's time to make ALL politicians follow the LETTER OF THE LAW. Every law. Trump and MAGA have violated countless laws, with absolute impunity. Instead of weasel words from the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries offering their latest scolding to make MAGA laugh, we should be arresting and prosecuting them. Trump might have some level of immunity, but literally NONE of the rest of them benefit by it one bit.

Throw them in jail with no bail, and prosecute them. Even if Trump pardons them, they have ended up on jail for a few days, and trust me, you don't want to spend a single day in jail. Let them cry in lockup for a while.
