Only one quibble here

Unless our abusive ex president flees the country for a place without extradition, it is important that he face justice for his actions. Capitol police officers are dead and some are permanently injured. Mr. Trump’s supporters had to face justice. He certainly must too.

If Mr. Trump should flee (perhaps in a petticoat*) that is fine by me.

* how Jefferson Davis managed to allude capture some do actually say.
