Trump calls for jailing and “televised military tribunals” of "Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, Mr. Pence, Mr. Schumer, Mr. McConnell and Nancy Pelosi." I think he is trying to get my vote.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly called for the imprisonment of his political opponents, often singling out members of the Jan. 6 committee. But the two posts that Mr. Trump amplified on Sunday particularly stand out.
One proposed jailing an extensive list of high-ranking officials, including Mr. Trump’s former vice president, the top Republican in the Senate and the current president and vice president. The other invoked the dictatorial imagery of a televised military tribunal, which would strip Ms. Cheney of her right to due process similar to the military courts used to prosecute terror suspects at Guantánamo Bay
Trump was president for 4 years, and Hillary Clinton is still walking around free.

"oh no, a wealthy white woman might experience the violence we use on the untermensch!"
Too bad leftist organizers of any stripe are also definitely on his list of people to prosecute, otherwise I'd actually be looking forward to this
Prosecute? Ha, noooo. Assassinate.
and they know who all of yall are, no way to hide. why do you think they spend so much in surveillance.
Right, as soon as they took out a couple big name D's, its open season on any and every actual leftist organizer. Not that they were ever off the table, but now the feds wouldn't even have to pretend.
Fortunately I'm safe because the only thing I do is posting
Trump is on the list too though.
Military tribunals
Revolutionary tribunalsI know that, rationally, this is bad and I shouldn't ever want to see it attempted.... but now that he's said it... I kinda wonder what would happen if Trump wins.
Will he just "forget" about it as soon as the inauguration happens?
Will it go the route of the overturning of the Affordable Care Act? Remember that? For the first two years of Trumps presidency, it seemed like there were monthly votes to overturn the ACA but every time there'd be some technicality or just straight up not being able to get enough conservative votes to make it happen. Then one day, the votes stopped, the bills stopped being put to vote, and all conservative commentators just stopped talking about it like it was not a campaign promise that had been failing for two years straight.
Will it actually happen? Will he actively persecute Republicans who spoke out against him? Clinton, Biden, Obama, Pelosi?
Will the Supreme Court step in to stop it? Will he then persecute the Supreme Court Justices (fuck that'd kinda be amazing)? i really want to have a crystal ball that can show me the possibilities in detail without having to actually live through them.

I'm going to say yes based on the fact that's exactly what happened last time.and he even explained that to his supporters.
They started chanting lock her up after he was elected and he waved them off and said "yea that was great and all during the campaign but I'm actually president now relax"
Do you think this changed once he got charged and had to go to court? He's incredibly petty and I can sorta see him wanting to do the same thing to others as revenge.
There's a part of me that thinks there's a chance that things will be different (not a high chance, just higher than with Hillary).
I remember there being specific campaign slogans about Hillary but it seemed like all of the focus was on her specifically.
I find myself wondering if the shotgun approach of talking about going after EVERYBODY will require somebody to actually be drug into a courtroom. (Though with Trump starting his presidency from day one as a lame duck... I guess it won't really matter.)

Love to have a court 'reserved for enemy combatants and war criminals', implicitly suggesting those two things are on the same level of illegality.
My prediction is that Trump will win the election but not make it to the White House. Let’s see if this pans out.
When you watched Death of Stalin as an instruction manual.
Is that any good? I know its gonna be lib as fuck, but I keep seeing that clip of Zhukov tossing off his coat and that part looks fun.
And if he becomes president it'll be legal too.
Not that he would actually do it since he had the chance the first time he was El presidente
ideally, amerikkka falling apart will happen in the funniest way possible. fingers crossed
😠
He's a reality TV show host so I'm sure he'd do great at it.
Clueless enough not to realize that he'll get got in the last episode, too.
Lol, is this how we get our Covid Tribunals?
The frontier yearns to return home
Good thing the supreme court didn't just give the president the power to do whatever they want recently. This would be an actually actionable threat otherwise.
wow, such a populist
Red brown alliance: sounds good, doesn't work
