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.

Mr. Trump's FAILURE to properly investigate and prosecute Mrs. Clinton was a huge strategic error that I hope he does not repeat. Hope, of course, is not a plan ...

Well he did have to contend with deep state plants Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr. He won't make that mistake again.

Congress would not have allowed a proper investigation, unfortunately.

(He let Hillary and Obama run a coup attempt on him with illegal wiretaps)

How was he supposed to stop them when he didn’t know he was being wiretapped at the time?

Tit-for-Tat” is a real bitch strategy. It is the only successful one in a game where with opponents constantly cheat.

*************

After 8 years of the most insane hate propaganda against any President in United States history, “turning the the other cheek” is not an option.

If the democrats want to to engage in lawfare and criminalize our political system.
We do the same until they “back off” and return to our normal 240 year of tradition.

It’s an “eye for an eye” until the democrat coalition stops this nonsense.

Rumor is Joe Biden is mentally sound for a couple hours a day.

He can take his morning meds and then sit in the dock.

The Clinton criminal duo is also worthy of prison/the rope for treason.

You’re seriously asking me how he could imprison them BEFORE he knew about it. Are you serious?

Of course he would have them imprisoned AFTER he was inaugurated and found out. That would have included Hillary who started it with the fake dossier, Comey for lack of vetting the information, Lynch for passing it to Obama to use for FISA warrants.

What the Democrats are doing is not legitimate.

Calls to do what they are doing only lends them legitimacy and motivation.

De-escalation is now the preferable option.

Republican candidates need the votes of so-called ‘independents’, and ‘independents’ don’t like nasty people, injustice, or calls for vengeance.

Trump needs sympathy votes.

Yep...Can't see the NY Slimes printing anything worth getting exited about, in light of the leftist scum that run that rag. This article is just more Rat fearmongering.

We can’t do anything anyway, no “big name” democrat is getting convicted in an urban jurisdiction. The juries in those areas aren’t going to do it.

Where are the majority of our courthouses located?

What’s the ratio of Republicans & Democrats that make up the lawyers & judges in our law system?

We have zero political power to change this disadvantage.

Public dismemberment of elected officials on TV should beat all the ratings!

Trump should say the exact opposite, that all such decisions will be governed by high ethical standards, in contrast to what the democrats have been doing.

Wrong message at the wrong time.

But I never expected Trump to follow my advice.

The country has a lot of things that need to get done, and prosecuting stupid Liz Cheney isn’t important.

Trump draws the listeners to comparative straw man arguments, comparing his charges to what others have actually done, and scream FIRE as they creat theater.

The master troll.

Of course Trump should say things like everyone who went to Epstein Island, or showered nude with their eleven yr old daughter should be investigated and tried in a court of law....

“Vice President Kamala Harris, Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer and former Vice President Mike Pence”

They have their faults, but they are not criminals


Maybe. But maybe not. We don’t really know. We need to find out just how things went down on Jan. 6th, first. There’s a lot we don’t know. But one thing seems clear. A successful coup took place between election day 2020 and inauguration day 2021, which means that acts of treason were committed. Who was and who wasn’t involved is uncertain at the moment. But I wouldn’t take any of their innocence for granted.

Um, I have seen no credible source that shows Trump actually said these things. The NY Slimes of course does not count as a credible source.

“Just saying. I voted for DeSantis in the primary.“

You’ll vote for DeSantis in the general?
