A post that Mr. Trump circulated on Sunday called for Liz Cheney to be prosecuted by a military court reserved for enemy combatants and war criminals.

Included in the list of people to be brought up for war crimes against the United States were Current President Joe Biden, Current VP Kamala Harris, former VP Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger and Representatives Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, Pete Aguilar, Zoe Lofgren and Bennie Thompson.

    Punishment can include and is not limited to death.

    I think there’s a bit of a sobering moment that we have a Presidential candidate that is calling for specific names to be held to a firing squad.

      He tried to get Pence killed four years ago. We’ve known for at least that long that this is who Trump is. Republicans don’t care.

        They do care. This is exactly what they want, a maniacal dictator who will kill all the “others” to implement a religious ethnostate

        When I first read that I thought it said Prince and I was seriously horrified. Now that I see it’s just about Mike pence, eh.

      Donald: we need a Night of the Long Knives.

      SCOTUS: let us open the kitchen drawer for you.

          I assume because it has the “oo” sound. “Loser” looks like it rhymes with “hoser”.

          Believe it or not, some people here don’t have english as a first language. Whether or not this specific person does is irrelevant, my point is you could try some leniency

      bit of a sobering moment

      That’s why I’m investing and drinking lots of alcohol. Who wants to be sober as society collapses?

        It was never ridiculous, people just weren’t able or willing to look into the future far enough. If someone said this would happen back in 2016 you’d be ridiculed.

        And now look where we are.
