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.

Is he serious, Freepers?
Master troll. He’s just threatening them with what they are doing.
Don’t take the MSM seriously. They will say, to hurt Trump, that his first actions will be martial law, troops in the streets and death camps in Kansas.
They are saying whatever it takes to get people panicked into voting against Trump.
Odds are, if Trump gets elected, he will work to get corruption out of the system and arrests might be a byproduct of that, but I do not believe he will make it his mandate to get people.
Hey. Did he forget Chris Christie? Of course jail time can help you lose weight.
Televised Military Tribunals......sounds familiar....where have I heard that before?
Nuremburg trials would be appropriate.
He can be his own worst enemy. He should have kept his mouth shut instead of providing the enemy with ammunition.
Consider the ‘source’...
is he trying to lose??...man, he can be so stupid at times.
Yes I understand.
They’re trying to fearmonger.
But this one sounds appealing. It could backfire.
The easy way out of this is for the Democrat Crime Families to haul donkey to a country with no extradition treaty.
Yes, that has become a Facebook meme.
“Wait, you don’t need to sell me anymore. I’m sold. I’m sold.”
My thoughts exactly. He’s been doing so good and was restrained, a lot more presidential. Now this. The MSM will be trumpeting this the next four months as evidence he is unhinged and a “threat to democracy.” Sigh.
Deceptive article! Trump either liked or shared someone elses post.
I have no problem with it, but I don’t see it happening.
Typical fake headline from the New York Times. Trump did not call for military tribunals (which would be insane). He just highlighted a couple of posts that discussed such tribunals.
Trump meant it as good fun, I think. But as usual, the mainstream media put the worst possible spin on it.
If the NY Slimes made this up. There may be a list, but the Slimes editors will be at the top
Yes I know all about the source
:-)
I didn’t post it in “news” because I didn’t consider it newsworthy from them....
You take these articles with a grain of salt even though we might like the idea for the opposite reasons to them and their fearmongering
It’s from “The Spew Barf Slimes”, establishment mouthpiece.
It will backfire
