Ah yes, the famously fair, famously well thought out "witch hunt for thee, but not for me".

How about acknowledgement that there was a reason these people got elected and the addressing of grievances that brought that about. Problems heard and addressed.

The grievance was that not enough journalists were getting thrown into jails without proper procedures or medical care?

Starting a war with Iran?

Nobody has a magic wand to produce the best option and they instead have to make do with the least bad physically possible option.

The constituency for the immiseration of the masses is unfortunately bipartisan. It predates Trump (and Biden) and was embraced by Trump (and Biden) to the opposite of their rhetoric. However, the historical consensus on tolerating extralegal behaviour by the executive and judiciary anywhere else on Earth is that it has a 100% track record of making immiseration worse. No other improvements can first occur without removing that state of affairs which bottlenecks everything else, by the least harmful physically possible method.

You want a better option? Go find a genie.

Cry all you want, the people are demanding justice for the egregious crimes of the trump administration and his pathetic, sycophantic supporters. I think they will have it, one way or another.
