Now that Congress, in one fell swoop, has passed all the bills Trump told them to pass, they are done with that part of the job. He can move on now to his favorite part of being King - REVENGE! We can look forward to investigations about all the elections Trump was part of: 2016 when people were so very mean to him, the stollen [sic] 2020 fraud and the 2024 bait and switch, which deprived him of beating his mortal enemy. He wants Biden investigated for being a crime boss and also for being “sleepy” and using an autopen. Then there will be investigations into the investigations of Russia, Russia, Russia and January 6. These will involve almost all prominent Democrats and a lot of Republicans (I’m looking at you, Liz Cheney). And that’s just the government stuff. I’m sure he wants to go after more corporations and even private citizens who have wronged him in some way.

Who will end up on trial and what punishments will be inflicted? Should the people being targeted play along or tell the committees to go fuck themselves (you know, like Republicans do)? Will the Biden pardons mean anything? And for good measure, it will entertain and distract MAGA _and_ troll the libs. Truth Social will be on fire. Fasten your seatbelt and get out your popcorn - it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

The Trump regime needs to set up ‘special courts’ first in order to prevent ‘independent-minded’ judges from following actual law. Fortunately, there is precedent to follow:

> **[Sondergericht](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sondergericht)**

> A Sondergericht (plural: Sondergerichte) was a German "special court". After taking power in 1933, the Nazis quickly moved to remove internal opposition to the Nazi regime in Germany. The legal system became one of many tools for this aim and the Nazis gradually supplanted the normal justice system with political courts with wide-ranging powers. The function of the special courts was to intimidate the German public, but as they expanded their scope and took over roles previously done by ordina...

Elon Musk is going up against the wall as is Mitch McConnell for the sin of not being enthusiastic enough about MAGA overtaking his own corruption. Lindsay Graham, Ted Cruz, and the other not-quite-faithful who weren’t all in on Trump on 16 June 2015 better watch their backs as well.
