I'd gladly sacrifice the prosecution of Trump and his toadies for a real and comprehensive fight against global warming. Statehood for DC and Porto Rico are two other things that I think would be worth not pershing Trump. A national health garantee is a third thing I'd trade for letting Trump slide.

If the Biden administration goes after Trump it will be consumed and defined by that action. I don't like Donald Trump but exacting vengeance on him isn't all that important in the scene of things.

I'd like to see him impeached so he can't hold office again. I wouldn't be upset if he prosecuted by one or many of the states. I look forward to seeing many of those who breached the capital building doing real time in federal prison.

I hope the things that happened this week leave Trumpism a marginalized political movement going forward.
