Current estimates for the number of civilians the United States has killed via drones during its War on Terror range between 900-2,200 (they've killed 10,000s of armed combatants in the same time). They were all killed without trial, even the (at least) four who were US citizens, all because they posed an imminent threat to the nation.

The current congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 attack has uncovered irrefutable evidence of Donald Trump's own threats to the United States, and yet, not only is he unlikely to duck away drone strikes any time soon like the rest of America's enemies, he's plotting himself a potential political comeback.

This week on the pod, Liam and Jacob will make the case for prosecuting former politicians. Although fraying institutional norms clearly can no longer reign in the overlords, the sword of justice just might. They're no fans of Madame Guillotine, but they're certainly beyond slaps on the wrist.
