In fact she will probably feature Padilla’s arrest in one of her infomercials that run constantly on TV.

And also ask for investigation by the end of day, then nothing is happening. Crickets so far.

Sometimes people gotta feel pain before they learn. Joe Biden constantly warned about the danger to democracy. People didn't take it seriously last election. They can see it now.

Charge the thugs with state crimes and no bail. Then convict them and keep them locked up with no Tangerine Tyrant pardon available. Can't say what will happen to the Senators in DC, but they don't have to put up with this in their home state.

At least it will keep these unelected thugs out of states with Dem governors.
