Former President Donald J. Trump over the weekend escalated his vows to prosecute his political opponents, circulating posts on his social media website invoking “televised military tribunals” and calling for the jailing of President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer and former Vice President Mike Pence, among other high-profile politicians.
Mr. Trump, using his account on Truth Social on Sunday, promoted two posts from other users of the site that called for the jailing of his perceived political enemies.
One post that he circulated on Sunday singled out Liz Cheney, the former Wyoming congresswoman who is a Republican critic of Mr. Trump’s, and called for her to be prosecuted by a type of military court reserved for enemy combatants and war criminals.
“Elizabeth Lynne Cheney is guilty of treason,” the post said. “Retruth if you want televised military tribunals.”
A separate post included photos of 15 former and current elected officials that said, in all-capital letters, “they should be going to jail on Monday not Steve Bannon!” Those officials included Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, Mr. Pence, Mr. Schumer and Mr. McConnell — the top leaders in the Senate — and Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker.

Not a good idea to publicly say this before the election.
They are projecting. They are claiming what Trump will do based on what they did, J6Rs and others. If they get in 2024, they are telling what they plan to do.
Trump might be in prison in a couple weeks..
They’ve been trying since 2015 when he came down the escalator to Make America Great Again.
That war is a war Trump didn’t start, but he should be allowed to finish it.
All politicians need to dial it down including Biden and Trump. Enough already.
Too many kooks in this country. MSM and politicians need to just put a cork in it before someone does something dangerous and stupid.
Military tribunals? Lead by thoroughly modern Milley?
I reckon this is because of that poll the other day
They say he could win NY and NJ.
This is from the ny slimes, remember they have been telling us biden is sharp as a tack for years.
Trump is just having political fun, after the “Great Biden debate debacle” of 2024.
He didn’t do anything unconstitutional or stretch the limits of the constitution in his first term & he won’t in his 2nd.
Trump pushes very hard, right up to the limits of Presidential Power but eventually concedes if lacking support on an initiative.
Just saying. I voted for DeSantis in the primary.
Joe Biden and the democRATs would NEVER do such a thing ...
This is why people who hear about Trump hate him and people who hear fro. Trump love him. The media is so fake.
Who wouldn’t love to see all of the NYT commies Gitmo’d?
Don’t just believe the media. They are scum. Follow Trump if you want to know whats actually being said. Otherwise go about your business but do not, under any circumstances, take the media at face value.
What purpose is served by Trump telegraphing his intentions with regard to military tribunals and martial law for Democrat lawbreakers should he win the election? It is not going to change the behavior of Democrats going forward, they are irrational in the extreme on the subject of Trump. It just seems to be feeding the beast. Like someone today or yesterday said, TDS is unexplainable. Even if you disagree with a candidate’s beliefs, as we did with Obama, how can you be so full of hate for one man who has done much to help the country, at great personal sacrifice, that you wish to see him jailed or worse? As much as we differed with Obama there were not many who expressed publicly a desire or need to see him incarcerated. This has been the fabric of American politics for 250 years. All of a sudden we are felonizing and jailing the political opposition, and criminalizing their speech, their thoughts, their beliefs.
I agree with you.
Will anyone fall for this scaremongering?
If anything it will backfire on NYT
NYT trying to scare people. He was expressing a sentiment not an intention. He is not going to subject these traitors to tribunals which is what should happen.
Just saying. I voted for DeSantis in the primary.
****************
You chose a candidate that didn’t do very well in 2024 Republican primary contests, but if he “plays his cards right” he may still have a national political future.
“Time will tell.”
Because that's what the Soviets did.
