No that would be time consuming and wrong. We should look forward and heal!
Can we dissuade others from paying lots of money to them for dubious reasons?
No it is not right to "cancel" people.
Can we at least be mean to them in restaurants?
No, not that either.
I don't think it's crazy to suggest that if it's always "The Purge" for elites, it might cause some problems.

It is actually best that the people in charge ignore the daily bullshit cycle, which involves ignoring people like me. I mean, hopefully they listen to me and ignore people like Joe Scarborough, but still.
I doubt they thought it at the time, but I don't think the Obama people ever transcended the daily bullshit cycle. Hopefully the Biden people manage to.

The commander of the D.C. National Guard said the Pentagon restricted his authority ahead of the riot at the U.S. Capitol, requiring higher level sign-off to respond that cost time as the events that day spiraled out of control.Local commanders typically have the power to take military action on their own to save lives or prevent significant property damage in an urgent situation when there isn’t enough time to obtain approval from headquarters.
But Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard, said the Pentagon essentially took that power and other authorities away from him ahead of a pro-Trump protest on Jan. 6. That meant he couldn’t immediately roll out troops when he received a panicked phone call from the Capitol Police chief warning that rioters were about to enter the U.S. Capitol.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday will order his Department of Justice not to renew its contracts with private prisons, one of multiple new planks of Biden’s broad-focused racial justice agenda.But still rolling back to 2016.Biden is poised to sign four additional executive actions after laying out his racial equity plan at the White House at 2 p.m. ET, according to his press schedule. Vice President Kamala Harris will also attend the event.
The ad supported internet had its problems (the internet is still ad supported, just google and facebook ate it all), and major sites which made themselves unreadable with all of the badly behaved ads helped to hasten its demise, but at least you could link to things! You can read this sucky blog for free! Or chip in. Up to you!
Giuliani, the lawsuit alleges, knowingly spread falsehoods about the company to bolster Trump’s failing attempts to overturn the reality of his election loss. But Giuliani had another incentive for doing so, the lawyers wrote: He “cashed in by hosting a podcast where he exploited election falsehoods to market gold coins, supplements, cigars, and protection from ‘cyber thieves.’ ”
There are options other than "nuke the filibuster." We will see...
If you further reduce the effective power of Congress (to just taxation and spending bills), the other branches will step in. Congress ain't perfect, but it is the most democratic bit of our system.
Not only will they step in. They have to.
The monthslong review by Dechert LLP found no evidence that Mr. Black was involved in the criminal activities of the late Epstein, who was indicted in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges involving underage girls, according to a copy of the law firm’s report that was viewed by The Wall Street Journal."[L]egitimate advice on trust- and estate-tax planning." Sure rich guys need that, what was Mr. Epstein charging for this valuable service? Computer, enhance.In its report, Dechert found the fees that the billionaire had paid Epstein were for legitimate advice on trust- and estate-tax planning that proved to be of significant value to Mr. Black and his family. Mr. Black paid Epstein a total of $148 million, plus a $10 million donation to his charity—far more than was previously known.
$148 million
