Former President Donald Trump conjured a vision of a second term that would function as a tool of personal vengeance, and become even more authoritarian than his first, when he vowed to pardon US Capitol insurrectionists if he runs for the White House again and wins.
His pledge at a Texas rally Saturday was accompanied by a call for demonstrations if prosecutors in New York, who are probing Trump's business practices, and those in Georgia, looking into his attempts to reverse his election loss in the state, do anything that he defined as wrong or illegal. The comments underscore Trump's obsession with delusional lies that he won the 2020 election, and his determination to put that falsehood at the core of the Republican worldview. As was often the case during his four years in office, Trump's pardons threat shows that he still makes no distinction between his personal goals and the national interest or rule of law.
But the former President's new rhetorical outburst also at times hinted at concern with his own legal position, and comes at a moment when various criminal and congressional lines of investigation seem to be tightening around him. The House select committee probing the January 6, 2021 riot has now penetrated deep inside Trump's West Wing inner circle, and he lost a Supreme Court bid to keep key documents secret. The likelihood of a damning accounting from the committee, bristling with new details about Trump's attempt to destroy American democracy, is growing, though the GOP has sought to thwart it at every turn.

I want revenge. I want Fauci put on trial. I want all the woke generals fired. I want his whole term filled with investigations and convictions.
Yeah…you are salivating ….
You won’t mind if we steal your home and possessions and then criticize you when you bellyache about it.
Pence ? Are you smoking crack ?
Traitors must swing.
What kind of dreck is this.
Trump was raging against him just today, read his press release.
Yeah, what a great comparison. I guess the realtor showing us houses would appreciate it though and would see the relevance.
“…lines of investigation seem to be tightening…” wow. You know it’s illegal to torture a metaphor like that. Why not use those tried and true Russiagate lines “the noose is tightening,” and the ever-popular “the walls are closing in.”

Why should he stop - it hasn’t been fixed yet.
He will—in time move from The Steal to what he needs to do to set things right. Get Rid of the CIA and FBI. Investigate Hillary, Nancy and a whole bunch of people—Hunter, Joe etc.../ Build the wall, convict illegals. Death for Voter fraud. Kill a cop—Die! Arrest Soros and deport him back to Russia. Meet with Putin. Settle things in person.
I wish. My only complaint against Trump is that he did not arrest or prosecute anyone from the Deep State. If I ever meet Trump in person, I will ask him why Hillary Clinton is not in prison.
Trump’s biggest adversary is George Soros and family.
And you expect the treasonous puke who aided and abetted the coup d’état to be the GOP Presidential nominee in 2024 ?
Hopeful for DeSantis.
Hey, Hoss, you seem to want to be committing suicide by mod. Why is that ?
It’s going to be Trump to recover his stolen term. I suggest you get used to that reality. Stirring up anti-Trump hate here will get you that ride on the ZOT train.
IDGAS if they ban me for calling Trump petulant and full of himself.
The Dems and Media are desperate for Trump to run again, it’s their only hope.
No one likes a sore loser who can’t move on.
