    The best deal leaders could ask for is a strong social contract. They don’t have to look over their shoulders we don’t have to look over ours.

    Also the ability to safely leave power. Jimmy Carter got to spend his retirement building houses for charity, Saddam Huissen got to spend his in hiding, Ghaddafi got to spend it being tortured awaiting execution by a mob of his citizens, and Hitler’s retirement was spent absolutely ruining a bunker toilet while going through withdrawal. I’d much rather rule with limits then step away safely.

      Yea, there is no way Trump steps away clean from this. If he leaves office voluntarily there will be legal attacks on him until the day he dies.

        That’s why Elon has access to everything about everyone. So any and all that would do such things can be found immediately and all access to life can be cut off by those loyal to Trump. If that doesn’t work, he can send the Proud Boys or some other fascist gang to your door.

        Hound him until the day he dies. Investigate EVERYTHING, leave no stone unturned, and charge him with every single count he ever violated. Then stack the sentences on top of each other. Hopefully, it’s only about 18 months for each sentence, so that he has to switch prisons every year or two, so he can never get settled in. Unless they just want to toss him in the deepest dungeon in the new 30,000 bed facility he’s building in Guantanamo right now. Let him be housed in his own prison.
