3. They are far more appropriate than "lock her up" chants, which are baseless.

Trump has already shown a propensity and the likelihood of having committed several crimes and would likely already be in jail if he wasn't rich and wasn't the president.

Hillary Clinton on the other hand, has been so thoroughly vetted and found not to have committed any kind of illegal act in her tenure in politics, yet they still chant "lock her up".

"lock him up" toward at leas 6 of Trump's closest associates is completely appropriate and it is appropriate for Trump as well.

6. What Caliman73 said

One would think that after all the investigations on the Clintons, it would finally get through thick rethug skulls that they have been punished to the max for their wrongdoings (impeached for lying about a BJ?! After all the FBIgates, Filegates, Thisgate, thatgate, the funniest accusation was when they were accused of murdering 2 teenagers with a freight train! And it still isn't enough for the cult).

But, sell the whole country out to Russian oligarchs and mobsters? Nothing to see here... move on.

Lock the criminals in the WH up! Lock'em ALL up!

4. I'd prefer 'vote him out'

At least as a campaign strategy. The locking up will come.

8. No.

1. He's a criminal.
2. I'm not the current or prospective President of the US proposing to use the power of the Justice Department to persecute my political opponent.

10. Trump and Christie brought it all on .

and it spiraled out of their control. Imagine trying to convince New Yorkers there is something wrong with chanting lock him up ? Or anywhere else for that matter.

11. Hell, no. Payback's a motherfucker. . .

. . .and we're just catching their shit in mid-air and sending it flying right back at them.

12. Depends on the social setting

.....please don't get your ass kicked.

All such considerations aside........of COURSE not.

[TreasonousBastard]

13. Normally I would find arguments like "He did it first..." childish, but these days...

these are no standards any more. Yeah, I know all about fighting hogs in the mud, but we haven't had such a churlish asshole in the White House since Andrew Jackson.

14. Something like "si, se pueda," would be more uplifting

Go with Joe, maybe. I recommend putting some thought into it.
