He better watch out. He brags about being able to shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and get away with it, but her dad shot a man in the face and that man ended up apologizing for being in the way.
Trump might be in over his head in this one.
Are you asking Dick Cheney to do a Dick Cheney to Mr. Orange Man?
I’m not saying it’s right or wrong though.
I see you like living dangerously.
Do you have to specifically ask a dick to be a dick? I don’t think so. It just comes naturally.
Yes. Absolutely 100%.

I can guarantee that Trump has never held a firearm. His fat, tiny hands couldn’t pull a trigger.
(Edit: I was wrong, he had a concealed carry permit, in NYC of all places. Huh.)
He was pretty liberal on gun control until someone told him guns might be the only way he gets into power
Actually, Trump is usually armed & had a concealed carry license In NYC when he lived there.
Interesting, I hadn’t heard that before. NYC is an extremely hard place to get a permit like that. But, I guess he pulled it off:

Trump and his minions keep talking about “evidence”, but based on their many court losses over the years due to a lack of it I don’t think that word means what they think it means.
Obligatory Princess Bride
Dick Cheney: “Hey Donald, I’m headed out bird hunting tomorrow…want to come along?”
Hunting involves walking, which Trump hates.
Just tell him that
Xander CruzBiden is going out into the swamp for a presser, might convince him to do it so he’s not a pathetic, wimpery manchild.
Innocent people behave this way all the time.
Wonder if Trump’s public deflection could be admissible as consciousness of guilt?
Jan 6 investigations are clearly pushing the right buttons, he’s having a tantrum again.
Not a lawyer, but I really doubt it. As has been used before, his lawyers can argue that he really does believe he’s being treated unfairly, so of course he would speak out. Or the route that it’s protected political speech meant to rile up his base. I mean if January 6th wasn’t stochastic terrorism, it leaves space for this kind of thing.
I don’t like Trump either, but anything legal around speech is pretty difficult. I’m quite shocked the Carroll case actually landed against Trump, but you can see how egregious it had to be. He’s talked about jailing all kinds of political people for all kinds of reasons. If you don’t do something the first time, then it can be used as justification that he’s not doing anything different. Is it a shitty argument? Sure. But in court, it’s effective.
Someone getting ready to go full fash.

According to Trump’s lawyers, Biden has that power.
Of course the SCOTUS won’t give their decision on this until after the election so that they can either A) give Trump unilateral power if he wins or B) ensure Biden doesn’t get that power if he wins.
Only reason I can think why the SCOTUS didn’t rush to making a decision on making the President a literal dictator.
Cheney was Vice President, so he should be able to kill him with a drug, or a lit cigarette.
Or a shotgun to the face, like he did to Harry Whittington.
Nice try FBI
I’d like to upvote them but I don’t want to be put on a list.
C’mon, man…
Rule 6:
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
This is the reason this crap keeps happening. DJT can say whatever the fuck he wants and suffers no repercussions. One random person alludes to violence on a tiny website used by approximately 470,000 people and we immediately censor them. I get it, rules for the plebs not for the kings. I also get that it is out of your control mod and snowflakes are going to report everything they can get away with and your job is to do your job.
Steve Bannon can issue a call activating lone wolves, DJT can say there will be a bloodbath if he’s not elected. DJT can try to incarcerate political opponents because they dared investigate him, DJT can send a mob to the Capitol to try and stay in power.
Billy Bob from down the street with absolutely no power or following can make a statement calling for violence, that motherfucker will get banned in a heart beat.
Just pointing out that things seem a little backwards. Like the cards are stacked against us.
This is a great example of the double standard, nobody holds Trump accountable for anything, even the little things us peasants cant even imagine saying or doing, and we’ve had enough.
I don’t think it’s backwards, though, because do you really want to lower all of your discourse to his level? There is something to be said about being the “better” person in these situations.

K. Lower yourself if you like. It still won’t fix the problem.

Good morning master blaster! Just curious, do you know why this comment was removed? I don’t recall you stating anything that would break the rules.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump has renewed calls for Liz Cheney – his most prominent Republican critic – to be jailed for her role in investigating his actions during the January 6 Capitol attack launched by his supporters in 2021, a move that is bound to raise further fears that the former president could persecute his political opponents if given another White House term.
In posts on Sunday on his Truth Social platform, Trump said other members of the congressional committee that investigated the Capitol attack – and concluded he had plotted to overturn his 2020 electoral defeat to Joe Biden – should be imprisoned.
Cheney, who served as vice-chair of the January 6 committee and was one of two Republicans on the panel, lost her seat in the House of Representatives to a Trump-backed challenger, Harriet Hageman, in 2022.
Trump is also facing charges of 2020 election interference in Georgia, retention of government secrets after he left the Oval Office and hush-money payments that were illicitly covered up.
In the article, published on the right-wing website the Federalist, Patel claimed that Cheney and the committee “suppressed evidence” which “completely exonerates Trump” from charges that he had a hand in the January 6 insurrection.
Cheney was one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the attack, which has been linked to nine deaths and sought to prevent the congressional certification of Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
The original article contains 600 words, the summary contains 237 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
How you know you are doing something right
Desperate, deflecting criminal is still desperate & deflecting, news @ 11.
So our choices are:
- Man that wants to bomb Palestine into the ground, but has made marginal progress in helping secure more jobs domestically and has aided millions of people suffering from oppressive student loan dept
- Man who has publicly stated he wants to be a dictator, who has previously attempted a self coup, who wants to jail his political enemies, and is threatening a bloodbath if he loses–oh and he also wants to bomb Palestine into the ground.
- Man who is your conspiracy theorist uncle–who also wants to bomb Palestine into the ground.
It’s really crazy that it’s anywhere near a toss up.
Damn shame there isn’t a “don’t bomb Palestine into the ground candidate.”
No. It is still nowhere “near a toss up”.
One candidate is a violent racist who openly talks about how foreigners aren’t humans, led a violent insurrection, and is campaigning on removing the basic human rights of half the country.
The other candidate has some REAL blind spots when it comes to “crime” and a hard-on for Israel but is otherwise good.
I could MAYBE understand a weird sense of ethics where “Well, women and LGBTQ folk deserve to suffer if we won’t protect Palestine” but it isn’t even like trump is going to protect Palestine either.
So get out of here with that “both sides” nonsense.
They’re talking about the projected results, not their merits as candidates. Their whole point was that the main grievance against Biden also applies to all other candidates, yet only Biden is being dinged for it.
I didn’t read this as a “both sides” comment. It looks to me like the “toss up” is about who is likely to win the election, rather than who deserves this commenter’s vote. The reason it’s close to a toss up is because there are enough violent racists willing to vote for the violent racist.
I’m not sure what you’re upset about in my comment.
All of the candidates have faults, but I do have a strong preference for one and one of them is an objectively better candidate on basically all issues (including the issue that all candidates share the wrong stance on).
And it very much is a toss up. 2 candidates in particular are trading leading positions on different polls. There’s probably gonna be less than half of eligible voters actually voting. And when they do, one candidate will almost definitely win the popular vote. And when they do it will once again be up to our antiquated electoral system to determine which of the candidates actually gets the seat. It’s not 1932, Trump very well could win and that’s bad.
If you think my critiques of Trump are the same as my recognition of success for Biden and that I’m somehow “both-sides-ing” I’m really not sure how to help you.
Biden shows no interest in personally bombing Gaza, unless it’s with failed food packages.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gaza-airdrop-aid-israel-hamas-war-mishap-kills-palestinians/
Supporting Israel and supporting Israel’s attack on Gaza are two different things.
Trump on the othe hand wants Gaza wiped out AND wants to bring Israeli policies to the US/Mexico border. Surely nothing could go wrong.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rcna141905
Really? Bcz last I checked we gave Israel billions of dollars in military aid while they were indiscriminately bombing Gaza. He may not have pulled the trigger, but that doesn’t make him innocent either.
I think if there was an alternative candidate to Trump and Biden that wasn’t insane. It’s safe to say almost everybody would vote for them.
Also crazy to think that, don’t support genocide isn’t the default stance of people right now. I feel like the last few years I’ve been taking crazy pills…
Or alternatively, it’s all a simulation, and it’s just broken, and someone needs to hit reset on it, but they’re too lazy taking their lunch break to be bothered.
