I feel like when people say, "people need to go to jail over this" they disappear the kind of political work it would take to obtain accountability, esp legal accountability, for Stephen Miller's gulag.

Yes, morally there needs to be accountability. Are YOU thinking big enough abt how to get there?

What about incarcerating the people who operated the Japanese internment camps in WWII? Too long ago? Time heals all wounds? Or is justice only served by incarceration? 

I agree this shouldn’t be happening. I also think it’s as American as cherry pie. A lot of people wanted a lot of other people incarcerated for protesting for civil rights or against the war, or for burning flags. (And then there were all the police who beat up the civil rights marchers and the anti-war protesters, including the cops in the police riot in Chicago in ‘68.) Jimmy Carter pardoned all the draft dodgers who fled to Canada. That was a good thing, but didn’t it encourage future draft dodgers running to Canada?

Hey, is that why Trump wanted Canada to be the 51st state? 🤔

A lot of people think criminal justice is quick, direct, and simple because it always is on TeeVee or in the movies. Murder mysteries usually end with the murderer taken into custody, almost always after a convenient confession. British murderers especially like to politely declare their guilt; at least on television. Because of all this, we expect criminal convictions to be simple matters directly achieved. Investigations are police officers walking around talking to a handful of people, who are the pool of suspects, from whom the killer is drawn. Easy-peasy, and no escaping “justice.”

Merrick Garland is guilty of doing everything not to prosecute Trump. Except Aileen Cannon played fast and loose with criminal justice in Florida, and John Roberts all but dismissed charges in D.C.

You’d think after that people would realize it’s a bit trickier than “Sentence first, verdict afterwards!” And especially trickier than saying: “I don’t like these people, put ‘em in jail!” I mean, that works in comic books and pulp fiction; but reality is neither of those things.

Trump really loves that shit. Just sayin’….

And I was just wondering what had happened to Michael Flynn:

"I think immediately, immediately, the Department of Justice should suspend or revoke the passports of every single person that was in the national security component of the Obama regime and probably Biden, starting with starting with Obama himself," Flynn told MAGA influencer Steve Bannon on Monday. "I mean, do not allow these people to abscond this from the United States of America because some of them, I guarantee, are contemplating it because of what has been exposed."

"Pam Bondi needs to put a federal law enforcement task force together right now, and they need to start looking at which homes they're going to raid, just like they raided Mar-a-Lago and President Trump," he continued. "They need to start thinking about raiding some of these other people because I guarantee they have in their own files in their homes more evidence that belongs to the U.S. government."

Speak of the devil, and up he pops. But as an object lesson.”:”; I mean, who wants to sound like Michael Flynn? Or Donald Trump?

They’re idiots. Don’t imitate idiots.
