Only technically a President. In spirit, he’s more of a mob boss.

Trump is pure evil. He’s emboldened because his criminality right from before he even became President has always been handled with kids gloves. This is the time for you guys to fight him tooth and nail. He should be thrown out of the White House and jailed

Looks like he didn’t think hard enough. Trump has done this before.

At least Trump is too impatient and likely doesn’t have enough life left in him to avoid going knives out on libs this early. You have to slow walk it with all the minorities first, make sure they scratch some libs on the way down. The only thing our rulers can use to save gangsterism is probably societal changes driven by technology like they’ve been getting hard over in public for the past 3 years, but I don’t think it’ll materialize fast enough.

The amount of shit we have collectively tolerated from Trump is beyond comprehension.

He should make a video reminding people that it’s illegal to rape kids. The response would be informative.

I’d vote for Kelly for POTUS. Seems smart, reasonable, and tough.

Trumps actions and words are not ‘reasonable’ amped up rhetoric. It’s amazing to live in a world where others perceptions are that this is just ‘playful and aggressive’ politics.
This is NOT that. This is absolute chaos and signals the last gulp of air a toilet makes before it shoves the rotting pile through the P-trap. Trump is flailing so fucking hard right now.

Just a reminder, Mark Kelly is married to Gabby Giffords. Think of how fucked up this is for him and his wife who has already lived with the horror of an assassination attempt.
That’s not even to mention how Mark Kelly has more patriotism than Trump has in his pinkie.

2015 “Lock her up!”
2025 “Kill them!”
Good job he can’t run for a 3rd term right? Riiiight?

I have been watching political events since I was a kid, I know its weird. I have seen in that time several politicians bandy about the word treason superficially but never have I seen one specifically call for the death penalty as casually as Trump did. He is one of the worst politicians we have had in this country.

I went over to that conservative sub to see what they are saying about these Trump statements and nothing. They are ignoring Trump’s assault on these people.

Diaper Don is just following a very old playbook.
*On March 24, 1933, the Reichstag passed what became known as the Enabling Act by a vote of 141 to 94. It “enabled” the chancellor of Germany to punish anyone he considered an “enemy of the state.” The act allowed “laws passed by the government” to override the constitution.*

His sycophant mouthpieces will say he was joking. His internet tough-guys will cheer it on. His pet monsters will attempt to fulfill his orders.
And when it happens. Republican leaders will make jokes about it. Some will boilerplate thoughts and prayers and others will blame Obama or talk about mental health and smaller doors in venues.
Then Trump will do something even worse. And we’re right back at it.

Mark Kelly takes dumps that are bigger men than Donald Trump.

All tyrants and despots are the culmination of a death by a thousand cuts; each cut a small injustice that allowed them to build power and avoid accountability. Things like Citizens United and the Patriot Act are breeding grounds for these injustices, but so are corruption and preferential treatment in the justice system.

We see before us a true sociopath. With no scruples or moral compass he imagines anything he observes or demands is ok. All convention and societal boundaries mean nothing in his quest to replenish his ego.
This will not end well.

Really…you never considered that given the absolute putrid insanity that comes out of his mouth on an hourly basis? I would have considered it quite likely if I was in your shoes.

Two 4 star generals who worked with him in very close capacity called him a fascist and I believe them.

He’s actively calling for the death of democrats and still, no one really does anything?
The US is fucked.

Never doubt what a sociopath is capable of. Of all the traits Trump has they can all be traced to one frightening mental illness… he is a sociopath with no empathy for anyone other than himself. That makes him capable of the most hideous, unimaginable and evil criminal acts because of that one fact. Rape, theft, lying, adoring dictators and yes even executions are all not out of the realm sociopaths are capable of because… they just don’t feel any remorse for anyone.

Trump needs to read the definition of sedition. Also a quick search online states sedition is a felony less than treason and recent cases of last hundred years led to 10 year prison sentences..
No mention of hanging anyone and unlike Stephen Miller it’s not insurrection either.
Trump just throws words around without thought.
He should be charged with threatening a federal official.

I don’t think this is in republicans’ best interests to go down this route, as they open the door for the call of their own execution when they inevitably lose power…

My favorite fact about Sen. Mark Kelly is that Donald Trump was a known friend and associate of a child sex trafficker and Sen. Mark Kelly was not.

Because he’s a freaking actual national hero, something Trump will never understand.

The Democratic party needs to use Kelly strategically. He’s probably our party member that commands the most respect. We need to use him to be a moral authority for anything rule of law and military related. He’s not the best communicator, but he’s extremely effective to anyone old school.

It’s 2015. Obama calls for Trump to be hung because of his constant lying about his birth certificate and other things he doesn’t like about Obama and calls it treasonous to go against the President of the United States. You can imagine the outrage from the media like Fox. The Republicans would immediately call for impeachment and Democrats would agree. The Senate would overwhelmingly vote for removal, supported by Democrats.
Just shows how far we’ve fallen when Republicans are trying to excuse trump’s rhetoric.
