The president is launching a jaw-dropping revenge campaign against Democrats after his midterm drubbing.

President Donald Trump is calling for Democrats to be jailed, ordering the Justice Department to investigate lawmakers who have dared to threaten to hold him and his goons accountable.

The 80-year-old president cast his demand for Democrats’ imprisonment as a response to their threats to investigate members of his administration, particularly Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer.

The mad king’s calling for the arrest and imprisonment of political enemies for merely being political opponents is one of the nails in the coffin of a dying empire. Add this on top of J6 too.

    Todd Flintstone was talking tough on TV this morning, but he looked more frightened than arrogant. MAGA knows that if there’s an election in 2028, they’re all going to prison, so right now, they think they are going to intimidate us into backing down, but now EVERYBODY knows EXACTLY how much power is against them, nobody is afraid of these Treasonous Pedophiles any more.

    Bring it on assholes. If you try attacking American citizens in any way, the wrath of MOST of this country will come down on every MAGA in office.

    The biggest issue is that the supreme court ruled that he can commit crimes but not be accountable for them whilst president. So this crazy banana republic behavior is going to keep happening until his term ends. All this talk of impeachment is hopeful, but I doubt the democrats will pull it off if AIPAC are still as invested in their politics as numbers suggest. And if they remove him, then there is Vance, so nothing gained

      Or we could get armed and organized and put the rabid animals down, including the enablers from the Supreme Court…

      They already came for our Due Process, why are we giving them theirs?

        If the different branches of government can be used to solve the problem, then democracy is strengthened and shows the government is fit for purpose. If it isn’t then people know what needs to be fixed to better protect democracy in the future. A descent into violent only fosters chaos and risks civil war. That’s bad for everyone

          We have already descended into violence. Violence is already being committed against us. THEY CAME FOR OUR FUCKING DUE PROCESS. That is the underpinning of the social contract between the populace and the government. That was the load bearing wall. We are already in civil war, just some people are too stupid and ignorant to see it, and are happy to let others die for their comfort.

          That is them saying they don’t give a shit about the rules, and are more than happy to make you suffer without cause or reason beyond “I say so”. But hey, guess there’s no need to lose their heads over it, when ours will roll just fine.

          So when are you ready to go to a concentration camp? When are you ready to lose your family for your ideals? Because that shit’s already happening, just not to you…yet.

          So forgive me if I find what you said both stupid and naive in the face of the evidence in the world RIGHT NOW. Wake the fuck up already and be fucking angry, because you should be.

            Real civil war is a lot worse than what is happening in the USA right now. The USA is a functioning country and a population that can work together despite recent problems. It isn’t a lost cause and these things can be repaired, though it won’t be a quick fix

              The USA is not a functioning country. We haven’t properly functioned for decades at this point, we are a failing democracy. And I never assumed there was a quick fix. Even if a civil war went our way, it wouldn’t be a quick fix, it would just give us an opportunity at better foundations and refactoring our government.

              And we are in a “real” civil war, it’s just not open street fighting yet in most parts of the country, mainly because we’re so spread out, and many of the population are afraid to lose their comfort while people are taken to Concentration Camps. I wonder if the civil war feels real to them? What do you think? Do you think it feels real to those already taken? To those already harmed? Is it real for them?

                Be as unhappy as you want about the current state of affairs, but mislabelling it isn’t going to help you solve the problem.

                Go and look at what’s happening in Sudan and Yemen now, or read about what happened in Northern Ireland, Angola, Mozambique, Angola, Syria and so many others and see the vast difference of what they endured vs how the US is now.

                  I’m not mislabeling. I get that it isn’t as openly bad as other places, but that doesn’t change that this is indeed a civil war.

                  But regardless it seems like its the excuse you need to not confront reality. Hope you find the guts to do so someday.

    “Threatening letters have been sent to many people, all innocent, from Democrat Political Leaders. By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!”

    So…threatening to imprison someone who did illegal shit is itself illegal? Yeah nah.

    J6 is really funny to.ask MAGA what it was about… they start with the right protest peacefully. Show thwm a video of J6 hitting cops with a flag pole, flag still attached. They pivot to it was a false flag false flag or it was ANTIFA. Poit out Dump controlled the government and he pardoned them, many of which reopened for violence and pedophile.

    He’s really just a crazy old man, terrified of being sent to prison, who says literally anything that comes to his mind on the off chance that people will do what he wants.

    I know this is really far from being news but every once in a while I’m reminded.

        There are supposed leaks that he has medical handlers and is being treated for dementia symptoms among other things and that he was sedated the night of the election so he could actually sleep at a normal time.

      I think his seemingly calm response to the election was due to no one explaining the situation to him. I can’t imagine what Miller is recommending now…

        Nah.

        The loss was too big to lie about, and he can say that “he” didn’t lose.

        I think that his AG has been on the blower saying “we’re all so totally fucked now” and trumps initial response is this outburst.

          I agree except he’s so far gone, he had to be told he can’t fight this one as fraud, and I think the resignations of the three federal prosecutors has something to do with this. He demanded, they refused, not our of patriotism, but self interest obviously.

          He would cry foul, you know he tried, he didn’t get the support. He floats ideas like this, or did before he lost his fucking mind, like after 2020 with the insurrection act and rerunning elections under the gun of the military. Flynn spearheaded it, but he broached it too. Didn’t get support.

          2028 is going to be wild, as the dems will manage to nominate newsom or god forbid that douchy chicago sell out they think is tough, the former mayor whatever his stupid name is. Rahm Emmanuel. Fuck that guy, and fuck newsom.

          The establishment will throw us back into the arms of these traitors that are planning on permanently fixing elections. We may only survive now because the prez and his picks are such fucking cunty douche troll liars.

          Next nomination will likely be more intelligent, and with dem establishment in opposition they could topple the republic and throw us into darkness, so to speak.

        Being treated as equal to the people he looks down on would be such delicious poetic justice.

        And no one could reasonably argue that it’s either cruel or unusual…
