The insurrectionists became a vehicle for Trump.

He justified his abuse of power as martyrdom for them. No different than his circle of loyalists. They thought their ideology and greed would be rewarded. All the insurrectionists and loyalists are getting is the loss of jobs and opportunity while ostracized by society. No pardon is going to save them from that. They are branded in a way they never imagined because of the propaganda that groomed them for over four years.

There are polls out that find large numbers of Americans abhor the riots and never want Trump to have the opportunity to run for president again. McConnell needs to try Trump on his second impeachment soon. Americans have had enough of politics that is toxic to democracy.

How about the New York Attorney General, Letitia James? She is suing the NYPD for civil rights abuses that have occurred for years? I guarantee you it is related to ruthless contracts by the union. I think she is on the right track. Their contracts can’t save them from civil rights violations in measurable patterns. It is about time corruption is gone once and for all.
