    You want to throw someone in jail without a trial or having their day in court? I mean that’s exactly what Trump has said he would do to everyone trying to prosecute him, but in a fair society you make a case and take it before a judge. And a case this big requires collecting a ton of evidence and making sure you have an air-tight case to convict. How many court cases does he have against him already? Yeah things are moving a lot slower than most people would like, but pretty much any big case like this would also be moving at a snail’s pace. Everybody knows he’s guilty, however if you don’t get everything just right then he gets away on a technicality.

      Lmao hell yes I do, this happens for literally every serious criminal case (and a bunch of not-so-serious ones, too). If you actually took the idea that Trump is a fascist seriously, you’d be asking why shouldn’t he simply have been shot.

      Everybody knows he’s guilty, however if you don’t get everything just right then he gets away on a technicality.

      If everybody knows a fascist is a fascist and your only solution is to follow the rules real hard and hope, you are a danger to the country and should be nowhere near the levers of power.

      They killed Fred Hampton by shooting him in the head point blank when he was defenseless and wounded. The US is capable of unspeakable barbarity and arresting someone with a show trial is nothing.
