You cannot have a candidate threatening a bloodbath if he loses

[malaise]

Enough of this fuckery!

[LuckyCharms]

1. Our justice system is simply not wired to handle this loose cannon.

If it was, he'd be locked up already, and we wouldn't be hearing "let the voters decide".

He's spectacularly dangerous, and that would be evident to a three year old.

Our justice system cannot handle this.

Our justice system concentrates on "words" and "intent", but ignores obvious catastrophic dangers.

[kairos12]

21. Or a traitor major MAGA party.

[onecaliberal]

23. Our justice system chooses not to.

It kills men standing on the corner selling singles when it wants as well,

[cayugafalls]

29. Justice can be bought, ask Clarence.

[ananda]

43. I'd say it's deliberately wired that way through the installation of...

Federalist and Trump judges.

And huge money is behind it.

[bdamomma]

49. I only hope

there are some officials behind closed doors discussing all this. And we as Americans will not be threatened like this by a lunatic sociopath.

[raccoon]

71. Then the US justice system sucks!

[hadEnuf]

81. It is, but people are just afraid to use it.

They don't want violence or another "civil war" but that will directly lead to violence and another "civil war".

Problem is we will have no more power by then.

[Turbineguy]

2. Trump is not an ordinary criminal.

[B.See]

33. I would hold that he IS an ordinary criminal, rendered

extraordinary by factors of PRIVILEGE afforded scum like him.

[SergeStorms]

97. And a complacent media....

that doesn't raise holy-hell when he opens his gaping maw and screams for blood and disorder.

Howard Dean shares a moment of excitement with his supporters and the media takes it completely out of context to paint him as a madman.

Donald Trump openly calls for the violent overthrow of our goverment and 😴.

[msongs]

3. dems need to saturate the atmosphere with this remark. nt

[senseandsensibility]

4. It's obvious the media won't

[sakabatou]

5. TFG sure does violence, and encourages it.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Trump is very sadistic and loves hurting others.

Loves humiliating and injuring others.
Loves the violence. Especially when people do it in his name for him.

He gets off on it.

[malaise]

9. THIS

The truth - he is a cruel low life terrorist

[Irish_Dem]

10. He will burn it all down to get what he wants.

And thoroughly enjoy the entire process of destruction.

Yes he is a sick puppy. And terrorist.

[hadEnuf]

82. So did Hitler.

Who Trump openly admires.

[Irish_Dem]

93. Many dictators are sadists.

They must be in control and love to inflict pain on others.
It turns them on.

[Irish_Dem]

6. For the rich and powerful, the laws are only gentleman's agreement.

Just suggestions and the honor system.

When a person has no honor, there is no system.

[Emile]

8. He needs a one way trip to Guantanamo Bay Naval

Base and locked up for being a terrorist until his trial.

[ShazzieB]

101. No need to go to such lengths.

There are plenty of cells to lock him up in right here in the USA. All that's lacking is the will to do it.

[lindysalsagal]

11. Should be grounds for automatic dismissal. He's got 7 more months

What will this ratchet up to by then?

[malaise]

12. Apparently the words peace and tranquility have no effin meaning

This is madness

[TheBlackAdder]

60. Will he claim a physical confrontation bloodbath -or- an economic bloodbath with Chinese cars coming over?

The way he said it gave the impression that it would be a physical one, but reading into it further, it might have been in context of an economic one (at least he'll claim that one). Not sure with this guy, since everything he says is effed up anyways.

Link to tweet

[MadameButterfly]

95. It's a threat and an incitation.

To all of us: Elect me or i'll incite a bloodbath.
To his supporters: If I'm not elected, attack
It's not an idle prediction. There is cause and effect here. Intentionally.

Why is this legal? Oh yeah, even if it were it would take 4 years to prosecute.

[malaise]

104. Except that he began by saluting the insurrectionists with the national

anthem. He will also free his insurrectionists on day one.

[et tu]

13. i'm not that worried

i think joe is ready for any crapola and this time
people are ready to do what we must to save our democracy~

[et tu]

69. welcome to du!

we know better now after j6 and i believe defendant 45
is not up to the rigors of this election- hope he eats as lot more artery
clogging greasy 'hamberders'.

[OMGWTF]

77. At this point, cholesterol may be our only hope of getting rid of TSF.

[MadameButterfly]

96. As long has he hasn't already installed a wacko VP

and I'd be sad not to see him facing a conviction and being escorted to jail.

But I guess we have to take any way out that we can

[orangecrush]

14. What, Russia will attack us?

His flying monkeys are still learning the hard way that he doesn't care if they rot in jail.

Please shut up, you orange dip shit.

[Jrose]

15. Djt is a dangerous threat to the U. S. whether he wins or loses the 2024 election...

Never in our history has a presidential candidate promised a bloodbath in this country if he won't be elected.
The only way for this country to be assured of peaceful, democratic and legitimate elections from 2024 on, is to BAN THIS PUTIN-FRIENDLY TERRORIST from any ballots, isolate him from society in a prison or sanitarium and remove his accomplices from our House and Senate.

[jmbar2]

16. Good response from Trygve Olson

This echoes what Ruth Ben Ghiat and Timothy Snyder say about dealing with autocrats. The politics of inevitability only work if you accept it.

Needs pushback, ridicule, debunking.

Link to tweet

[malaise]

19. I agree

Fight back and ridicule the fool but make sure everyone knows about his threats.

[malaise]

20. He needs to hear a collective STFU

We are not afraid of your threats terrorist.

[bdamomma]

53. I remember

what E Jean said when she saw him and said "he is nothing". He's a bully.

[malaise]

54. She is correct

A fucking big mouth draft-dodging bully

[llmart]

44. I like the guy behind him to his left who's yawning.

Must be bored. Wonder how much each one got paid to be there?

[William Seger]

17. This is how fascist dictators take control of a democracy

... by convincing voters that the alternative would be worse.

[malaise]

27. Meanwhile in reality he's an effin coward and

a loser

[NanaCat]

64. He doesn't need to be brave

He only has to get the power to tell people to commit the bloodbath for him.

The only thing we have any control over is voting against him so he doesn't get that power.

[Hugin]

18. The SCrOTUS had the opportunity to do the right thing...

And avoid this. They failed

[rubbersole]

22. And don't forget Moscow Mitch.

[H2O Man]

24. Recommended.

He makes the younger version of George Wallace sound like Gandhi.

The Democratic Party needs to take the same approach with the maga cult as a psychiatric worker does in evaluating an unstable person.

[malaise]

26. Beautifully played

I cannot believe I am hearing this madness

[bucolic_frolic]

25. Last month our blood was being poisoned, now blood will be running

Is he mentally tetched? Is this subconscious or deliberate in his mind? No political consultant would sign off on this twisted horror would they?

[malaise]

31. Stark raving mad but seriously hungry for power

Lock him up!

[struggle4progress]

28. Turkeys

[malaise]

32. I remember that here on DU

[SouthernDem4ever]

34. Love how they show the turkey slaughterer smiling at the camera lol

[Evolve Dammit]

30. Totally agree. Fucking seditionist, anarchist, terrorist. I got no more ists to give. LOCK HIM UP

[samsingh]

35. we do - and the cowards support him

[pfitz59]

36. In a sane world, however;

half the US electorate has lost their freaking minds.

[TheCowsCameHome]

37. He is a sick, perverted excuse for a human being.

It will be a joyous day when he no longer inhabits this planet.

[gab13by13]

38. Tune in to Deadline White House every Wednesday

when Nicolle has Marc Elias on if you think that trump can't win this election. It is also true that Joe Biden will win a fair election.

Marc Elias will scare the shit out of you. People just are not aware what Magats are doing right now to rig the election.

Start watching Thom Hartmann.

[barbtries]

39. Apparently we can. and do

thank you corporate media and republicans who hate democracy.

[0rganism]

42. Hehe you beat me to it

GMTA or something like that

[0rganism]

40. Except apparently we can and do

It's up to the InFalliBLE American electorate to address this problem, what could possibly go wrong?

[dchill]

41. Fire in a crowded theater. Or what?

[onenote]

83. That would mean you think his statement is false, right?

Because the principle that yelling fire in a crowded fire is unprotected applies only when its false.

[dchill]

102. Yes. But his flock don't know that.

[Xoan]

45. Tell it to Garland.

[ecstatic]

46. He violated his bond in Fulton County Georgia. LOCK HIS ASS UP!!

https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23921630/donald-trumps-bond-agreement.pdf

I'm a victim because he tried to get my vote tossed and I'm a member of the community. LOCK HIM UP!

He'll want a speedy trial if his ass is behind bars.

[YoshidaYui]

47. There is the likelihood that when Trump

Loses his MAGA base will go nuts and riot with guns a-blazing and if they do the national guard will have to do its duty and put down the rioters and it will get ugly. Remember a lot of them already died from being unvaccinated and covid killed them.

[Ford_Prefect]

48. Trump is a knowing terrorist. He knows how to threaten because he is also a serial abuser.

The DOJ, and the MSM are not prepared to respond to his threats because he's not physically attacked anyone. He has conveyed material threats, and has encouraged his followers to act violently, just as he did leading up to and on Jan. 6th. I believe that is called inciting to riot.
Someone in authority needs to call him out on that and swear a complaint along the lines of reckless endangerment.

He is not an ordinary person conveying an angry, momentary thought. He is the leader of the Republican party. He is likewise the acknowledged leader and spokes person for the MAGA movement, whose voice and language define and direct his followers' actions.
As such he is responsible for their actions.
Many ordinary people doing this have received visits from the FBI or Secret Service, often in service a warrant. Why not DJT?

[Blue Owl]

50. Call the men in the white suits and lock this fucking lunatic up for fucking fuck's sake

Jesus Fucking Christ!

[elleng]

51. Quite right, and the electorate MUST be so INFORMED!

'The former president has threatened . . . .!'

[raging moderate]

52. Yes, this is how the US Civil War started.

Back in the mid-nineteenth century, tensions were very high between the pro-slavery and the anti-slavery US citizens. People in several states vowed to fight if Abraham Lincoln won the Presidency. Lincoln had to enter Washington DC very cautiously. And several states did, indeed, secede and start a civil war. We do need to take this seriously.

[bdamomma]

68. He is actually

calling out to his base, to kill other Americans, how sick and perverted is that??? Yes, this has to be taken seriously.

[Justice matters.]

86. Khrouchtchev and now Putin's wet dream.

To destroy the United States from within, and the Justice system is obviously unable to do anything effective enough and fast enough to prevent it.

[Efilroft Sul]

94. Win or lose, Trump wants to have his purge, his bloodbath, his retribution

[LakeArenal]

55. It's all so....🤯🤯🤯🤯

[republianmushroom]

56. And who is going to stop it, the DOJ, nope, to political, the courts, nope to crooked. WHO ?

[FloridaBlues]

57. We can over whelm them at the ballot box. Biden will be ready to have guards on

Standby everywhere by state houses yes it may get ugly but perhaps they won’t come out for the blood bath. When these nuts see they are overwhelmed by guards. Or he just may be blowing noise out his ass. And nothing happens

[doc03]

58. Don't worry Garland will take care of it

[dalton99a]

59. .

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

61. special rules for Trump apparently

[LetMyPeopleVote]

62. Biden-Harris campaign statement on Trump tonight promising a "bloodbath" if he loses

Link to tweet

[malaise]

66. Good

Now let's get teh ads with him saying it

[Ping Tung]

63. Will he don his cute red cap and golden tennis shoes when he leads the charge?

Or will it be a very short charge while wearing an orange jump suit across his cell?

[malaise]

67. He'll be no where in sight

He'll be watching it all on TV while eating junk food

[hadEnuf]

85. And that's exatly how he works.

He will never lift a finger, just open his mouth. He is the epitome of a big, low-IQ cowardly, babied slob who has energized these lunatics who have been groomed and predisposed to this behavior for decades. Politics has already been dumbed down and dragged into the sewer by the likes of Gingrich and so many others. The way for a moral-less person like Trump was well paved to pull the trigger and fulfill the right's wettest of dreams.

Trump is playing the GOP too. They are so obsessively focused on their insane vision and goals that they don't care if they screw themselves in the process of fulfilling them. Trump knows this very well. He is the right's vehicle to power but they are his vehicle to power too.

Trump is the ultimate conman.

[malaise]

87. Love this post

ReTHUGs only want power by any means and they have empowered their confederate women-hating racists.

[Renew Deal]

70. It looks like he was talking about the economy.

[malaise]

76. It's always double speak with Smelvis

BIden needs to respond on both levels after all Slobby predicted that the stock market would crash under Biden. So one was absolute bullshit and the other was a deliberate threat

[SoFlaBro]

98. Bullshit. He was talking about people dying at the request and hands of MAGA fuckstains.

[Renew Deal]

99. What are you basing this on?

Because he was talking about auto manufacturing and tariffs when this came up.

[SoFlaBro]

100. His words. I won't carry water for this fucking shitstain. Other might, but fuck that hog shit.

[samplegirl]

72. Facebook errupted

Over this!!! I'm glad.

73. He is so presidential

103. Here's Mary Trump

Donald Trump does not deserve the benefit of the doubt and this isn't a f***ing joke. His statement is both a threat and a promise. The corporate media needs to start acting accordingly," she wrote.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218787433

[Ohioboy]

105. She is right

This country is in the grips of cult! I just hope there are enough Americans not going along to survive.

[malaise]

106. They are still a beatable minority - that's the good news

[Ohioboy]

107. But will they respect the will of We The People when they lose?

They have a poor track record in that department. That's basically what this whole "bloodbath" thing is about. It's Trump saying he and his ilk are not going to accept the lose he deserves without wishing suffering upon the country.

[malaise]

108. They will tryout

and fail again

[Paladin]

74. I am so fucking sick of this shit. (nt)

[randr]

78. Tag him as the "sore loser" in every speech

[Runningdawg]

79. A big word in law is precedent. It's has already been set. They have done nothing to him and WILL do nothing.

[Lulu KC]

80. Seriously.

I mean, the word itself. He is one trigger alert after another.

[BannonsLiver]

84. It's actually worse than calling Hamas "freedom fighters just like Mandela."

89. Zero to do with comparing him to Hamas
