Trump Amplifies Calls to Jail Top Elected Officials, Invokes Military Tribunals [Uh, no he does not. Someone 'reporting' it of the New York Times does not make it so.]
NY Times ^ | July 1 | DNYUZ

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.

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.

The Democrats stole the election in 2020. So the base is pissed off and was going to vote for Trump in the primaries no matter what.

But the thing is that, it appears that Trump will win in November.

Then Gavin Newsom will win in 2028.

Me? I prefer to get 8 years with DeSantis.

I'm okay with it. If they didn't want to ride this train, they shouldn't have done so much illegal sh*t.

> I reckon this is because of that poll the other day. They say he could win NY and NJ. <

You make an interesting point. As I noted in an earlier post, I think Trump was just funnin’ around here. Nevertheless, he gave the NYT an opening, and they took it. (

Democrats can do anything they want. Republicans can’t. That’s reality. So Trump needs to be more careful.

*************”

Newsom isn’t beating DeSantis in 2028.

Newsom is a California democrat with a bunch of baggage that nobody outside of the West Coast knows about.

The rest of the nation will find about his immoral personal life as well as sleazy business deals in 2028.

Televised trials and public executions.

I’m good with it.

It might not be legal under international law to use military tribunals to try civilians.

There’s also the Amendment VI trial district “where the crime was committed” rule.

Trump should shun residing in judicial districts dominated by Democrats because his Democratic persecutors are less likely to get convicted.

So you choose to believe the NY times out of hand? Really?

You might want to do a little investigating and consider the source of this garbage story.

Trump said his revenge will be success meaning MAGA. Same as his first term.

> Will anyone fall for this scaremongering? <

Yes, I believe many folks in the squishy middle will. Take your typical kinda liberal soccer mom. She’s thinking about voting for Trump because inflation is wrecking her family’s budget.

That NYT headline will not push her further into the Trump camp.

It’s a variation of the old Democrat scare tactic: Republicans will take away your Social Security! Except this time Trump accidentally gave them the opening.

If Gavin Newsom is running, he's going to win.

It won't matter that he's a crappy Governor.

... besides . . . if you think about it, the Supreme Court decision favoring immunity for official decisions can cover all of joe biden's criminality.

Be aware that all the democrat broohaha is bullshit noise.

Maybe. If it's Trump, Newsom and finally, DeSantis.

Or if the Democrats double down on fraud in November so Biden gets reelected (it's possible but I doubt it now). In that case, it's easier for DeSantis to win in 2028.

I understand the anger, but his Democratic persecutors will retire in comfort and luxury.
