According To My BENGHAZI!!!! Math...

[TrollBuster9090]

When the Republicans controlled the House, they spent TWO YEARS conducting a BENGHAZI!!1!!! investigation over four Americans killed.

When Joe Biden is President, and we have a REAL Justice Department again...one that will actually ENFORCE subpoenas...we'll have to investigate 150,000 plus dead Americans due to corruption and incompetence of the Trump Administration and all its ENABLERS. I want everyone from Jared Kushner to Sean Hannity dragged onto the House floor, and spanked by Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff.

Pro-rated to Benghazi units, this inquiry should only last about...(150,000/4)X2= 75,000 years.

But I'd settle for a FOUR year investigation. No more of this horseshit with Democrats playing by Marquess of Queensburry boxing rules while Republicans are using switchblades and brass knuckles.

1. By the time Biden is president there will be closer to 300,000 folks killed

by the Trump virus

[Skittles]

24. THAT is when Trump will pay attention to the number of dead

[Glorfindel]

2. Yes! You have perfectly expressed what I have been thinking

Democrats must give the 'pukes a dose of their own medicine.

[TrollBuster9090]

4. Yes, but we must make clear that we're not doing it for 'revenge.'

We're doing it on the principle that, if bad behaviour isn't punished, you're just encouraging more of it. That there must be CONSEQUENCES for this kind of behaviour. We could even introduce a formula on the punishment for bad behaviour. "You STOLE a SCOTUS seat from Obama, and appointed a second one by eliminating the filibuster on SCOTUS appointments. You stole TWO seats on the SCOTUS, therefore we're going to appoint THREE new Justices to the supreme court (making it 12). And we're going to do that EVERY TIME you pull something like that. It's nothing personal. It's just business."

So, the punitive measures would be:
--Add more SCOTUS Justices (And introduce an amendment on term limits for SCOTUS Justices.)
--Impeach Justice Thomas for 20 years of tax evasion, and impeach Justice Kavanaugh for lying during his Senate hearing.
--STATEHOOD for Puerto Rico and Washington DC
--Send about 5 billion dollars in military equipment to Ukraine, and have the Army stencil the numbers 2016 on every piece of equipment so that Putin knows exactly why they're getting it.
--Make ELECTION DAY a national holiday, and mandate paper ballots (no more crooked voting machines)
--Introduce a TAX on political contributions over $1000, and use the money to hire more polling personnel and optical scanners for elections. (Let's see if the Koch's like having their billion dollar contributions to the Republican Party go to increasing the number of polling stations in poor districts.)
---Fix the USPS, and also make post offices serve as election polling stations during elections. That way, the next time Republicans try to mass with the Post Office, it'll be clear they're also trying to mess with democracy.

[Glorfindel]

6. I agree with all of these points, enthusiastically

But, shouldn't the supreme court always consist of an odd number of justices? I'd shoot for 13!

[calimary]

8. These are FANTASTIC.

Get TOUGH, Democrats!!!

Show some BACKBONE!

[aggiesal]

10. That's a great start ...

ADD
- Expand ACA
- Secure Social Security

I understand your list is about punitive measures,
but adding these 2 would also be punitive for trying
so hard to eliminate both.

Making each stronger, will pi$$ off the (R)'s

[Brainfodder]

20. ...for justice...

[AllyCat]

21. Yes!!

[dmr]

25. I like how you think.

Yup, I sure do!

[still_one]

3. Let's just win the election. It is still far from a given

[safeinOhio]

5. Forget the revenge.

At least put it on the back burner.

Biden needs to make the changes that will never allow another tRump to happen. We owe this Nation that more than getting even.

[KPN]

13. The changes that will never allow another tRump to happen include holding people accountable for

crimes committed. That isn't revenge ... and that will take investigation and probably some of the structural changes suggested above to actually accomplish. We cannot and should not back burner that. Indeed, we owe it to the nation.

[Hotler]

7. I'm worried brother Joe will give the orange one a pass just like

Bush & Cheney.

[keithbvadu2]

9. "Four" - When Trump killed four of our soldiers in Niger, republicans did not care.

"Four" -

When Trump killed four of our soldiers in Niger, republicans did not care.

[pandr32]

16. I had forgotten about that

There wasn't much of a Republican backlash.

[Ligyron]

11. I want to see them brought before AG Kamala Harris's Justice Department too.

Reverse the stupidity Barr installed as well.

[usaf-vet]

12. Yes I do not want to hear "Let's look forward not back". Let bygones be bygones.

That would for me be the thing that convinced me voting could not and does not change the world.

IF ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD DESERVES INVESTIGATION AND METED OUT JUSTICE it is the TRUMP Presidency.

We cannot let these injustices go unpunished or it would prove there are two justice systems one for the poor common people and one for the rich and powerful.

[sop]

14. Agreed. The American ideals of Justice and Rule of Law will not survive if we (yet again) proclaim

"we must move forward, not look back," and allow Trump's actions to go uninvestigated and unpunished. Voters will forgive the Democrats anything, but if they go down that road in 2021, there will be hell to pay.

[KPN]

15. We got people, a whole party, hell bent on destroying anyone and anything that stands in their

ideological way or threatens their white male supremacy; people who, in effect, are perfectly okay with killing off what is likely to be 2 or 3 hundred thousand working class people in order to maintain a profitable economy before this pandemic is behind us; people and a party that has obviously been hell bent on this agenda for several decades now, at least to anyone who has been fully paying attention.


If and when we regain the WH and the Senate, does anyone here believe a prudent response would be to turn the other cheek, to look and move forward rather than backward, to put holding those accountable for crimes committed and lives lost or ruined by gross, if not intentional, neglect on the back burner?


Would that be a wise choice? Can we trust the Republican Party will have learned a lesson that in the end will benefit us all? All people regardless of color, persuasion, status or belief? Would it be wise to have faith in that?

[Mr.Bill]

17. We are where we are now

because Richard Nixon didn't die in prison. Never forget that.

[central scrutinizer]

18. Then there's Ebola math

When TWO Americans died from Ebola, Fox and the repukes were screaming for Obama to resign in disgrace.

[Kaiserguy]

19. We need to hold a Nuremberg type

hearing and hold Trump and his enablers accountable for they many crimes.

[AmericanCanuck]

22. The quickest way is to charge Trump and Kushner

with several counts of second degree murder in each state where deaths occurred.

They are culpable for playing politics with people's lives and showing a depraved indifference (an element of the crime) which is easy to prove.

The advantage is that those will be state crimes and cannot be pardoned by the orange jabba-the-person-man-woman-camera-tv.

[ZERTErYNOthe]

23. Bounties on American Troops

A lot of time an effort has been spent on investigating "Benghazi", and still get's brought up. I hope that the bounty on American service members lives gets the same amount of attention. I don't think it will, but it is a far more serious issue than Benghazi, and the current Secretary of State has not handled the issue (either well, or at all).

In some ways I would love to see the issue handled the same way Benghazi was (endless hearings, endless trial in the press), and since we have a "Reality Show" president in charge, let's add some typical commentary about the members of the show. That would be exactly what "The Donald" would want. Just think of the Ratings! They would be Huge and Beautiful!

[dmr]

26. I'd like to RICO the whole Republican party.

Is that even possible?

[Cha]

27. Brilliant!
