The rest of your natural life—and then some. That's how long we'll be cleaning up the mess of Trump and MAGAism. The nation as it was before is lost. It won't return. What we seek to save now isn't what used to be. It'll be something else altogether. It'll be what we make it.

America has a clear path forward. The roadmap is the Neuremburg trials. They set the precident. Germany never went back there. Today Germans are better global citizens than Americans. America, show the World you are serious. Indict, convict, imprison.

If Andy Beshear does not push this to a conclusion that either has him appointing McConnell's replacement, or McConnell reappearing, Beshear will be out of Democratic politics. We need rabble-rousers, not the same quiet, proper Dems who keep losing.

It’s worth saying this every now and again and particularly before moments like tonight. Anyone of our fellow citizens can stop supporting Trump at any time. Any administration official can resign at any time. There’s always a way back. Redemption is always on the table.

The 2020 fixation is not some quirk, it’s not “Trump being Trump,” it’s not a valid thing for him to talk about or worry about, it’s not part of a larger plan. It’s a deeply unwell person obsessed with slights he’s imagined he’s suffered, who has somehow made that the center of American politics.

"It’s hard not to have mixed emotions about this July Fourth. Trumpism is a betrayal of the very things that we are meant to be celebrating…. Which is all the more reason for us to reject Trump and his intellectual lackeys…and to instead join with Lincoln in honoring the Declaration’s promise."

How Trumpism Betrays the Declaration of Independence

Cherry-picking Lincoln, the MAGA New Right tries to rewrite—or discard altogether—the promise of human equality.

Trump is just taking money from us. When he’s gone, we should take it back and then some. Take all his wealth. I don’t care what that sounds like. It’s in our power and it’s within our rights. Confiscate his money, his land, his property. All of it.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot
