Trump Goes Full Deranged, Suggests Charging People He Doesn’t Like With Treason
Donald Trump went over the edge over the weekend and began calling for his detractors to be prosecuted or even put to death.
“They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason,’” he wrote on Truth Social Sunday night.
His entire platform is ‘Revenge’. Has no plan to fix problems, just to bully anyone and everyone not for him into submission; or death.
And 1/3 of the voting public is fine with it and the GOP will not complain.
The founders purposely defined treason because people like Trump existed throughout time.
Treason has been the excuse of all tyrants to attack anyone who goes against their wishes. Trump just proves again why he is a Tyrant to be shunned.
If you still are supporting this monster, don't claim to be anything other then a fascist. No, you aren't a conservative. No you aren't wanting a return to an "old america".
Nothing in the annals of American history compares to rounding up everyone you don't like and charging them with treason with zero evidence other then "they didn't support me". Not even the height of the crimes committed during WW2 against asian americans compares.
I don't want to hear any more about "middle of the road" american who just want everyone to get along.
This guy is threatening this country with transformation into something resembling North Korea, and people are cheering him on ... still.
This is terrifying, of course, but also really sad.
I’m imagining asking Trump supporters if this is the nation they want, a singular dictator lashing out in personal vendettas and self-enriching instead of doing the work of the executive branch and upholding the constitution.
From everything I’ve seen, the answer is far too often yes. I don’t even know how to conceptualize what might be happening in their minds that they will so easily forfeit their hard-won republic.
And it is quite possible that it comes to pass. A single candidate can be defeated, but this is at least a third of our population cheering for the demise of representative democracy. To end The United States, as it were.
Even as I type this, I can hear the canned responses spattered through angry goatees. Freedom. Liberty. Restore, reclaim, take it back, stolen, rigged, all that. Not even addressing the original question. Is this how you pictured a more perfect union? Do you really consider the majority of voters in the country to be your enemy?
It’s just hard to understand when you’re not in the groupthink. It sounds insane, unhinged, malicious, spiteful. Like someone has convinced them to engage in willful self-destruction but also that it was their own idea.
Trump Floats the Idea of Executing Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley
That extraordinary sentence would be unthinkable in any other rich democracy. But Donald Trump, on his social-media network, Truth Social, wrote that Mark Milley’s phone call to reassure China in the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was “an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH.” (The phone call was, in fact, explicitly authorized by Trump-administration officials.) Trump’s threats against Milley came after The Atlantic’s publication of a profile of Milley, by this magazine’s editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who detailed the ways in which Milley attempted to protect the Constitution from Trump.
If I said this about Trump I’d be arrested. He should be in jail, silently awaiting trials. Letting him get away with this is going to destroy us.
When Trump is heedlessly breaking laws and spouting treason, the paradoxical message is that if he ruled the way he wants to HE would not put up with this shit. He uses himself as both the model of the problem and the solution.
His implicit message is is that democracy is a failed form of government and a fascist tyranny is the 'way'.
What happened: The former president, wearing a dark blue suit and red tie, arrived at the Fulton County jail at around 7:30 p.m. ET. After he surrendered, he was placed under arrest and booked on more than a dozen charges. Jail records listed him at 6 foot 3 inches tall and weighing 215 pounds, with blue eyes and blond or strawberry hair. His booking number was P01135809. A mug shot was also taken.
