“Let’s do to them what they did to us” is classic retribution.
Trump was not elected to exact retribution on his enemies, he was elected to govern. Retribution might be important to his most ardent supporters, who resent (rightfully so) the persecution he has suffered, but the vast majority of the electorate is counting on him to improve their economic situation.

Getting mired in endless tit for tat might be satisfying political gamesmanship, but if that is what the Trump administration is going to be about it will fail from the start.
Bitter was on the money, what will define Trump’s term is competency, not retribution.
Of course competency is the main priority. But I don’t have a problem making an example of some people who deserve it so that the other side thinks twice before the next time. Even though Trump was able to overcome it, he is the exception not the rule.
What goes around comes around. I wouldn’t go after demented or quemala. However fat Albert, the drat judges on the take,and the ga lovers are fair game.

Trump has certainly shown an ability to do more than walk and chew Big Macs concurrently. Dealing with crimes committed by the outgoing administration and elements within does not mean all the other wheels of the administration come to a grinding halt.

Here’s another one that should be easy, but will perhaps make some nervous…
Tom Homan pointed out recently that any person harboring an illegal alien (i believe that federal statute includes transporting) has committed a federal crime.
Should mayors and other officials of sanctuary cities who help illegal aliens evade ICE be arrested and charged with a federal crime?
I would like to go back to a time when nobody used the powers of the FBI & DOJ against their political opponents. How do we ensure it doesn’t happen again in the next Dem administration?
I don’t think a free pass does the trick. That would be more of the same old Republican party saying how tough they were and then laying down like dogs when it matters. Trump was hired to not bend over. Anyone who used their position at FBI & DOJ to try to damage a candidate in a Presidential election should have the full wrath of the federal government come down on them. That is what MIGHT make the next Dem administration think twice about a repeat performance.
A lot of mumbo jumbo but it boils down to seeking retribution.
Retribution will backfire. This is not what elected Trump.
Here is the deal.
The black guy in Philly who voted R for the first time. The union worker in MI who bucked the leadership to vote R. The Hispanic guy in NV who thinks this whole transgender thing is offensive.
Do these people care about Fani Willis or Alvin Bragg? Or about “cleaning house”?
We care because we are political junkies that follow these things.
But the average American who voted for Trump wants to see what Trump can do FOR them, not AGAINST his political enemies.
Again, Trump will be measured by what his accomplishments are, and “having the full wrath of the Federal govt” brought down on his enemies won’t be an accomplishment the vast majority of Trump voters elected him for.
Retribution is defined as “Punishment administered in return for a wrong committed.”
When someone robs a bank, part of the sentence is as punishment (retribution) for a bad act. Part is also a deterrent against future bad acts by the perp and others.
We’ve seen often in recent years what happens when bad acts are not punished.
Punishment for using the FBI & DOJ as political weapons needs to be punished. What would not be okay would be to them use the same agencies to target or intimidate leading Dem 2028 frontrunners.
Should mayors and other officials of sanctuary cities who help illegal aliens evade ICE be arrested and charged with a federal crime?”
No. Waste of time.
These cities have passed ordinances or laws that give them cover.
Are these ordinances legal? Maybe not. But prosecuting this would take years and resources better spent elsewhere. Are you going to win in CA, or IL or NY prosecuting mayors?
Punishment for using the FBI & DOJ as political weapons needs to be punished.”
Zzzzz… good luck with that.
It will be a huge investment of political capital and resources and time for very little in return, if anything.
These agencies do need to be depoliticized. That alone will be a huge task. You have to get rid of the DEI hiring practices and the woke management style.
Retribution might feel good, but in the long run it won’t accomplish much.
Trump has a limited window here to get things done. Going after “enemies” won’t get things done.
So lets all agree, disliking or disagreeing with Trump is not a crime. But every CEO should only have the people around him and working for him that agree with his vision. If not, kick rocks.
No one should go to jail just because they hate Trump. However, if they committed a crime, they should go to jail and lose their jobs and pensions.
It is strange to me that people keep trying to conflate retribution with political opponents with criminal persecution of lawbreakers. I am unaware of MAGA people wanting people in jail because they are political opponents. But there are a good number of Trump dislikers, NeverTrumpers and those who long for the GOP of decades ago, keep wanting to make it sound as if persecuting lawbreakers who are also political opponents is retribution. It is law and order, justice, etc.
You know who you are. You know what you are doing.
But every CEO should only have the people around him and working for him that agree with his vision.”
Wow, how stupid is that?
That “CEO” won’t be around for long. A smart CEO surrounds himself with people he trusts to provide him with good advice and information, rather than “agree with his vision”.
When you surround yourself with “yes men”, you will very likely miss the boat on both opportunities and threats.
I , too, would hate to see the Trump admin begin a prosecutorial crusade to the point of obsession. Real crimes, not those actions perceived as such, should be pursued and prosecuted fully.
If that’s the fear, I just don’t foresee that happening. Trump has too many other pet distractions to be concerned with: the (non) border, inflation, the National debt, cooling off hot-spots around the world (thanks Biden cabal), and so on.
I can’t imagine him allowing “getting even” to distract him from so many other policy matters that he has made clear are his priorities.
There are two choices when someone uses the FBI & DOJ to prosecute political enemies. Punish it or ignore it”
BS. As famously said, prosecutors can indict a ham sandwich. That is not a crime, per se.
Political prosecutions are unethical and wrong, but proving them as a ‘crime” is a different story.
Jack Smith is a political hack. His indictments of Trump are based on a lot of legal “stretches” and selective use of the evidence. But is he a “criminal” and would any attempt to prosecute him result in a conviction? I doubt it.
If Trump can depoliticize the FBI he will accomplish something real. Prosecute Wray? Zzzzzz…
I will answer for myself. If somebody committed an actual crime, sure. However, it is unlikely that a prosecutor can prove intent (mens rea) to break the law rather than interpreting the law incorrectly. Good luck getting a DC, MD, or VA jury (where trials of DOJ and FBI would likely be heard) to convict. Just fire them and move on.
Bitter, if they committed a crime, it should be pursued even if the case is not likely to be won, when dealing with the abuse of power/government positions. Otherwise, it is enabling such behavior.
Of course, there are times for mercy/no jail time. Should depend on the defendant, the crime, and the approach to the charges by the defendant and the costs to the taxpayer. It may be a crime to jaywalk. Pay a fine, keep your job.
Deliberating lying and/or hiding evidence in official governmental proceedings (Cheney’Kizinger) in the Congressional hearings on J6….they should rot in jail.
Of course, a smart CEO will have people around him with differing opinions. But, in the end, the CEO makes the decision on the path forward. Then EVERYONE gets in line and supports the decision.
What would be stupid is to keep people in an administration or business who undermined the CEO’s decisions. THAT is the sign of a stupid CEO.
It is interesting that you believe in bringing cases that can’t be won. Is that different than the lawfare practiced against Trump (but they won subject to appeal)?
Again, intent is key here. “I hate Donald Trump” is not an abuse of power. Lying under oath or destroying evidence in violation a subpoena are subject to criminal penalties.
Let’s side aside the Dems and MAGA for a minute. In 2026, will the majority of voters going to the polls focus on whether their bills went down or Liz Cheney was charged?
It’s not wise to build on the rot of a previous administration. If you don’t acknowledge, then extract it, applying the proper remedies to see it doesn’t reappear, then expect more of the same in the near future.
Again, why the “misunderestimating” of Trump. Are bringing inflation under control and prosecuting crimes mutually exclusive? Yes, there are many single-issue voters, but Trump does not appear to me to be a single-issue politician. He certainly wasn’t in his first term.
A fitting analogy to use for “government rot” can be found in construction protocols. We are rebuilding a fence in the front of our property. Initially we wanted to reuse some of the old fencing and simply add on to it. However, after the discovery of dry rot in some of the posts, we now realize more money has to be invested in replacing the entire fence. The same holds true for many of the departments that have been captured by a party intending to transform the country by any means possible – many illegal and/or unconstitutional. In order to rectify the damage done by prior administrations you have to not only make the harms public, but also make them accountable and subject to punishment.
It seems we are in a battle of semantics, so, lets clarify the definitions so we are all speaking the same language.
crime – did something that was against the law… A REAL, WRITTEN LAW. Not, well he said something bad about me, or didn’t like me.
Retribution – Seeking to exact revenge against someone who committed a perceived wrong against another. There is NO CRIME involved when someone is seeking retribution, its just to seek revenge for a perceived slight.
So, therefore, the following:
If a Crime (capital C meaning its a defined term) has been committed, then that person should face justice.
If a person did NOT commit a crime, then no Retribution (capital R meaning its a defined term) should be sought.
Fire those who acted improperly. Fire those who used the system to cause harm against a political opponent.
Trying to reform the institution as a whole by making it stick to its mission statement is an admirable task.
FOCUS ON THE ECONOMY FIRST!!! It’s what got Trump elected.

anyone notice that in Alaska, the vote to repeal ranked choice voting which always helps Dems, and was leading by a decent margin, is now trailing by about 45 votes after a vote “dump” yesterday.
Additionally, its been revealed that huge sums of out of state money streamed in to support the “no” vote, to the tune of $14M…outspending the “yes” vote by 100 to 1.
Is lying about the government or someone’s actions a crime? What about defamation suits brought about by E Jean Carroll, where she was able extract an $83 million dollar ruling against someone for being a crack pot called a “crack pot,” and for unproven, fuzzy claims of 30-year-ago sexual assaults? What about the DOJ calling parents, revolting against leftist curriculum, “domestic terrorists? What about the hundreds of jailed J6ers indicted and jailed, without due process, for misdemeanors? What about the physicians or lawyers being harangued, losing licenses or hospital privileges, for saying early treatment by repurposed drugs was far better than the experimental COVID vaccine, or defending Trump in his opinion the 2020 election was stolen? The examples of government acting in oppressive, subversive, heavy-handed ways is endless. But, you think seeking Justice to address these ills is ill-advised retribution?
Whenever I watch that show , I am amazed at how people come up with very simple ideas that never occurred to me AND the business/accounting concepts.
Last week, 2 guys pitched an idea that Cuban was interested in. He asked what it cost to make the product and they said it was proprietary information. He flipped and said they told him what they sold it for and the profit margin so why did they think nobody could do the math and get their proprietary information they just told millions of viewers.
Democrats have so alienated the Normal People who once made up their coalition (working class, etc.) that they cannot afford to alienate what’s left of their base, which is the far-leftists. But… They cannot be a majority party catering to their lunatic base. And now… Nancy Mace is on the right side of a 70/30 issue. A wide majority do not want guys LARPing as women in their dressing rooms, locker rooms, and bathrooms. So… Democrats are trapped. They can’t side with Mace without losing their base (which will electorally cripple them further) but they will only be seen as insane by the majority of voters if they oppose Mace and fight for men to enter women’s private spaces. This is delicious.
Furthermore, how can election integrity ever become a standard way to conduct fair elections when ballot dumps are not called out and adjudicated. Alaska is only one state having a last minute ballot dump changing the course of who won and who lost. It happened in the Senate race in WI, and the judicial race in NC, and also in AZ, CA, NV.
I don’t think there should be an endless pursuit of Justice by prosecuting every case of injustice. However, the most egregious examples of illegal overreach should be prosecuted, showing those misusing their government powers that they risk eventually accountability.
Is lying about the government or someone’s actions a crime? NO MOVE ON

ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID. If Trump wants to be successful, he will concentrate on what 90% of the people want, not what hard core Trumpers want, which is to make their lives better.

Vic, I truly see your points. However, “moving on” from so many wrongs, will not build confidence in people that a new direction of governance is on the way. “Moving on” is seen by many as a sign of approval, not disapproval, of such actions. Slaps on wrists does little to change bad behavior. Instead, it says “you can get away with illegal/unconstitutional constraints.” That’s why I believe there should be prosecutions of the most egregious cases seen in the Biden Administration.

Anyone claiming that inflation is slowing is missing the picture.
Almost every paradigm shift in history was evenly divided by those who actively promoted change, those who opposed, and those who were in the middle – wanting change, but one that didn’t ruffle too many feathers. Had the ones in the middle dominated, the outcome would have produced a less resilient, freedom-loving country than it is today.
So would Jason have had the stones to stand up and speak at such a meeting? Or, would he be sitting in his comfortable armchair calling the speakers right wing nuts, loons, and dead enders? There are those who talk, and those who do. I prefer the doers over the talkers.
BREAKING: Senator Tommy Tuberville stands up for Matt Gatz, RFK Jr. and Pete Hegseth – notes that *ZERO* Democrats voted against Joe Biden’s Cabinet nominees. EXACTLY. Republicans need to actually use their electoral victory to get something done.
Yes, the ones at the Bucks County meeting are, for sure. Just like parents in VA and other states (Moms for Liberty Coalition) have done, being at risk of being jeered, or worst yet charged for made-up crimes to intimidate them from continuing their protest.
Tommy Tuberville also publicly talked about the “deep state” in an interview he did today. He’s adapting his tough coaching skills to his tenure in the Senate.
One of the reasons Dems seem to always have the advantage in elections, the Congress and so on, is they are less inclined to meet in the middle, like republicans reliably default in doing. They stand in unison more and defy following rules of engagement or even the Constitution, with oftentimes little backlash. It’s not right, but it does allow them to gain more ground than is deserved.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said transgender women cannot use women’s restrooms in the Capitol and House office buildings. This also applies to changing rooms and locker rooms, Johnson said.
“All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” the statement said Wednesday.
Johnson continued, “It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol.”
If Deep State had existed during WW2, Tina would have needed to learn Japanese and the A-holes would have needed to learn German. Ok. Jason already speaks 18th century German.
Doesnt it seem as those who question whether or not there is a deepstate or who want Trump to forego cleaning house in the federal government also happen to be neo-cons, nevertrumpers or those who are hoping for the Bush/Cheney/Romney wing of the GOP to be ascendant again
Zzzzzzzzzz Trump got my vote 3 times. I would like the GOP to return to being conservative,
strong on the military and free trade. Hopefully, Trump’s isolationism and destructive tariffs and protectionist policies are temporary. Trump is not a conservative.

No one should go to jail just because they hate Trump. However, if they committed a crime, they should go to jail and lose their jobs and pensions.
It is strange to me that people keep trying to conflate retribution with political opponents with criminal persecution of lawbreakers. I am unaware of MAGA people wanting people in jail because they are political opponents. But there are a good number of Trump dislikers, NeverTrumpers and those who long for the GOP of decades ago, keep wanting to make it sound as if persecuting lawbreakers who are also political opponents is retribution. It is law and order, justice, etc.

If that’s the fear, I just don’t foresee that happening. Trump has too many other pet distractions to be concerned with: the (non) border, inflation, the National debt, cooling off hot-spots around the world (thanks Biden cabal), and so on.

BS. As famously said, prosecutors can indict a ham sandwich. That is not a crime, per se.
Political prosecutions are unethical and wrong, but proving them as a ‘crime” is a different story.
Jack Smith is a political hack. His indictments of Trump are based on a lot of legal “stretches” and selective use of the evidence. But is he a “criminal” and would any attempt to prosecute him result in a conviction? I doubt it.

A fitting analogy to use for “government rot” can be found in construction protocols. We are rebuilding a fence in the front of our property. Initially we wanted to reuse some of the old fencing and simply add on to it. However, after the discovery of dry rot in some of the posts, we now realize more money has to be invested in replacing the entire fence. The same holds true for many of the departments that have been captured by a party intending to transform the country by any means possible – many illegal and/or unconstitutional. In order to rectify the damage done by prior administrations you have to not only make the harms public, but also make them accountable and subject to punishment.

It seems we are in a battle of semantics, so, lets clarify the definitions so we are all speaking the same language.
crime – did something that was against the law… A REAL, WRITTEN LAW. Not, well he said something bad about me, or didn’t like me.
Retribution – Seeking to exact revenge against someone who committed a perceived wrong against another. There is NO CRIME involved when someone is seeking retribution, its just to seek revenge for a perceived slight.
So, therefore, the following:
If a Crime (capital C meaning its a defined term) has been committed, then that person should face justice.
If a person did NOT commit a crime, then no Retribution (capital R meaning its a defined term) should be sought.
Fire those who acted improperly. Fire those who used the system to cause harm against a political opponent.
Trying to reform the institution as a whole by making it stick to its mission statement is an admirable task.

A wide majority do not want guys LARPing as women in their dressing rooms, locker rooms, and bathrooms. So… Democrats are trapped. They can’t side with Mace without losing their base (which will electorally cripple them further) but they will only be seen as insane by the majority of voters if they oppose Mace and fight for men to enter women’s private spaces.

Vic, I truly see your points. However, “moving on” from so many wrongs, will not build confidence in people that a new direction of governance is on the way. “Moving on” is seen by many as a sign of approval, not disapproval, of such actions. Slaps on wrists does little to change bad behavior. Instead, it says “you can get away with illegal/unconstitutional constraints.” That’s why I believe there should be prosecutions of the most egregious cases seen in the Biden Administration.
