A post that Mr. Trump circulated on Sunday called for Liz Cheney to be prosecuted by a military court reserved for enemy combatants and war criminals.

Included in the list of people to be brought up for war crimes against the United States were Current President Joe Biden, Current VP Kamala Harris, former VP Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger and Representatives Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, Pete Aguilar, Zoe Lofgren and Bennie Thompson.

Punishment can include and is not limited to death.

I think there’s a bit of a sobering moment that we have a Presidential candidate that is calling for specific names to be held to a firing squad.

He tried to get Pence killed four years ago. We’ve known for at least that long that this is who Trump is. Republicans don’t care.

They do care. This is exactly what they want, a maniacal dictator who will kill all the “others” to implement a religious ethnostate

So if Pence would have died, that would have been an official act.

I assume because it has the “oo” sound. “Loser” looks like it rhymes with “hoser”.

Believe it or not, some people here don’t have english as a first language. Whether or not this specific person does is irrelevant, my point is you could try some leniency

It was never ridiculous, people just weren’t able or willing to look into the future far enough. If someone said this would happen back in 2016 you’d be ridiculed.

And now look where we are.

If Trump has his way, Ai will point to his post as a reason to do just that.

If you’re worried what will happen if Trump wins the election, then you should consider buying “Trump insurance” by betting online that he’ll win.

When enough people bet that Trump will win, then it creates an incentive for someone who can influence the outcome to make a short term leveraged bet that Trump will lose.

You’ll gain utility from the trade even if you lose the bet.

no, the president (whoever it currently is) can do whatever he wants without any explanation needed as long as the Supreme Court (the majority selected by and loyal to trump) deems it an “official presidential action”. unfortunately, all actions Biden can take would obviously fall into the “unofficial” classification because, you know, reasons of some kind and definitely no corruption.

The more I think about trump saying that he could shoot someone in broad daylight in front of millions, and not lose a single supporter…… the more I think he was right.
