Why does Donald Trump need to be redeemed? Who even cares at this point?

Little as anyone wants to think it, Trump remains a danger to us all until he is dead. Nothing will ever discredit him among his base and there are plenty of fascists out there who want to destroy what's left of our rights and see him as their best bet to succeed. That is a form of real power, even if he is currently out of office. So I care that he stays out of office. As for redemption, fuck that. He needs to die.

Even dying won't redeem him. Forming a 3rd party and completely splintering the GOP then burning both completely to the ground while simultaneously locking American capitalism into cement boots and drowning it publicly after convincing Kavanaugh and Barrett to successfully complete a suicide pact would be an okay start.

Kavanaugh and Barrett are too Catholic to kill themselves. They have to be queer victims of the police.

joke on Trillbillies this week that the Trump rehabilitation
yeah and i especially liked the follow-up where it's explained why it probably won't ever happen (outside of him just being singularly repellant): the Sorkin-brained who cooed and clapped for W will never accept him because of the incivility he shows when he manages a stopped-clock take, eg Powell hagiography

I'd like Trump to be tried with war crimes and get sentenced along with Biden, Obama, Bush and Clinton. There's no Redemption, accountability is all I want.

lol, i was joking, but apparently some people believe this
...With only a handful of seats needed for Republicans to win control of the House next year — and the likely prospect of McCarthy becoming speaker — he has been selling himself as a singular leader of the party, able to stand up to the unpredictable former president without breaking their bond.“I stay close to him. We have a good relationship. But he and his team don’t have a veto power on what we do,” McCarthy, 56, tells the donors, according to the witness. He even contrasts himself with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has distanced himself from Trump and earned his public scorn.“I can do it,” McCarthy has assured his donors about the balancing act before him, according to the witness.

I’d be excited at first but then all the promo ads would get annoying “NOVEMBER 22nd. DONALD TRUMP, FORMER PRESIDENT... MAKES HISTORY... ONE. MORE. TIME ‘nobody thought I’d be able to do this’ ‘he’s unpredictable!’ LIVE. TRUMP DESTROYS HIS OWN BALLS ‘folks you’re not gonna wanna miss this’”
