The democRATS here in the States would do the very same thing against Trump if they thought they could get away with it.

Arresting and confining Trump (and even putting him to death) has been suggested by many a looney Leftist on CNN and MSNBC.

Carl Bernstein on Brian Stelter's Reliable Sources on CNN this weekend called Trump a "domestic war criminal".

Trust me, we are get close to being a Nicaragua ourselves if we don't curb the Marxists and their wet dreams and hatred for Trump.

Detaining the contender is so authoritarian. But the contender’s associates? That’s the democratic way.

Democrats who helped keep Ortega in office included Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass), Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass), Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Ct), Rep. John Conyers Jr (D-MI), Rep. George Communist Party member Crockett Jr (D-MI), Rep. Michael Barnes (D-Md) - became a lobbyist for Gaddafi and Libya), Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass) a hardcore red, and all those who supported the Sandinista/CPUSA front known as the National Network in Solidarity with the People of Nicaragua (NNISPN; WOLA - The Washington Office on Latin America, hardcore red clergy in the US, and COHA, Council on Hemispheric Affairs.

And they hate Trump for protecting our freedoms and stopping the alien invasion.
They also hate him because he can’t be bribed, bought off or blackmailed.
He’s got integrity and they HATE him.

Too bad, totalitarians.
Your regime has blown it.
Your puppet’s approval rating is in the shitter and going down by the day.
Guess your covid bioweapon and collusion with the CCP is on the verge of backfiring!
Trump WON.
Your regime had better bail while it still can.

All people are not the same. Americans are genetically rebellious, heavily armed, and distrustful of government. Leftists are their own worst enemy. They destroy everything they touch, including themselves. Periodically, human nature invokes tribal warfare to flush a spreading leftist cancer out of the gene pool, with the surviving population having a slightly higher IQ.

".... Your regime had better bail while it still can...."

I don't know what will come of Trump's comeback but I can't imagine Biden lasting much longer in charge. He's getting so you can't follow a thing he tries to say in public. Unintelligible.

God help us if the "woman of color" is next up at bat.

It’s like Orwell’s 1984 and the real world’s 1939 rolled up into one.

A who’s who of Demonrats from the ‘80s. All dead or out of office now, but their damage lives on.

A gap of 17 years between 1990 and 2007. But you see how difficult it is once these Stalinazi “liberals” get in power, they never want to leave.
