I see a lot of you still believe the magic Mueller fairy is going to come restore sanity to a bunch of crazed lunatics, Nazi's, Bigots, Putin Traitors. etc.

Trump and his followers are a malignant cancer that was allowed to metastasize after the 2020 election. He is back in office exactly because our leaders, judges, law enforcement, elected representatives didn't take the hard actions that were needed to excise this cancer from our nation.

If we somehow manage to regain power and once again our leaders don't hold these criminals to account these criminals WILL return and as bad as they are now, they'll be worse a third time around.

I'm not interested in reeducating his supporters. They can go fuck themselves. On the other hand the monsters responsible for this crap, they need to be locked up for life with some of them facing the death penalty for treason, especially Trump.

It took the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 to free our country from the tyranny of King George III. It's going to take more than strongly worded speeches and my "friends" across the aisles" bullshit to free us from this King and his tyranny.

Wake up, the good fairy isn't going to stop this. Actual action is what it took to create this country and actual action is once again needed to save it.
