Why? Explain yourself.

Why should they get off without any consequences?
Tell me what they did to cause a violent attack on the Capitol. Specifically.

Or those making a name for themselves figuring "if I can survive under this administration, I could probably make a career for myself under anyone here." Going after neutral parties really discourages someone from performing public service. What's to stop someone from doing exactly the same for the next administration's staffers? A slippery slope. Items like this make it clear that it's not about Trump; it's about destroying the opposing viewpoint at all costs

John Adams defended the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre because he knew that every man deserved a fair trial. He became President. We've come a long way from that kind of thinking.
It's scare no matter what, starting with Trump. Suggesting he or people who supported him have ANYTHING to do with what happened at the Capitol is ridiculous. Tell me what ANYONE who supported him did that caused a riot.

No it doesn't. It is known that there is at least one with the Lincoln Project who is racist and xenophobic, and the others with that group likely know about it and don't seem to care. So, no telling who their future lists will be about. Especially with an incoming president who is also quite racist himself.

Wash, rinse, and repeat....

“The useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”

Absolutely!!

You know what, we should make them wear a scarlet T or a yellow star or something so we can easily identity them in public too, just in case we have some feces or rotten vegetables to throw at them.

Oh, Fat Bob. I've missed your posts.

Love the idea of a scarlet T.

Until then, the red MAGA hats will have to do.

As vengeful as this is, I agree with it because there should be consequences for complicity. Republicans have sat by for four straight years (and continue to) with their own political ambitions at top of mind rather than our own safety as a nation. Every single silent enabler of Trump’s bigotry, his corrupt, self serving administration should be marked as damaged goods as far as I’m concerned.

Perhaps not for those on the list, but for the rest of us it could be useful information.
