"SNIP...........

Donalld Trump fumed over a federal judge ordering his longtime ally Steve Bannon to report to prison, calling for members of the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, riot to be indicted, The Hill reports.

Trump’s post follows several interviews he gave this week in which he suggested it would be fair game for his political opponents to be prosecuted if he wins the White House in November.

1. DICKtator Donnie whining again....

What a pile of shit he is.

[Walleye]

2. I wonder if MTG or Lauren Boebert could take over Bannon's podcast

[LetMyPeopleVote]

3. Who is surprised by this?

The Speech and Debate clause will get in the way of any such silly indictment

[Irish_Dem]

7. You are assuming the US constitution will be enforced under Trump?

Or the SC will rule fairly in these matters?

[Lonestarblue]

13. The Constitution will be trashed under Trump.

So long as Trump gives free reign to turning the US into a theocracy, the Extreme Court will remain silent. And if the do cross him, he will simply ignore them. They have no enforcement mechanism, relying on the DOJ that under Trump will be as corrupt as possible.

16. We have found out most US institutions are held together with only spit and a prayer.

Only a gentlemen's agreement and tradition.

Yes, US Constitution, Bill of Rights, rule of law, etc.

None of them certain under Trump.

People are having a hard time wrapping their heads around this.

4. Is vengance vindication?

Apparently, anyone who has slowed.the ascent of the Mighty Trump must die a horrible death.

[B.See]

5. The CRIMINAL-IN-CHIEF wants everyone who hasn't been

"loyal" indicted. SO tired of this fkr. Drop dead already.

6. Like Stalin in 1937, Trump will purge all his political enemies in The Great Terror of 2025.

[Irish_Dem]

8. I keep thinking of Stalin too.

There is a reason he is on our minds right now.

[Dave says]

15. Unfortunately

Very

[dalton99a]

12. +1

[NanaCat]

18. I think he's much more like Pinochet.

Especially given the outside influence to disrupt the country and repress certain groups. Stalin didn't have outsiders influencing his purge.

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Don.

[malaise]

10. Please

Lock up this lunatic.

[Deuxcents]

11. What are the charges he's alleging? Just curious 👀

[bluesbassman]

14. That's the genius of their plan, they never actually cite any charges.

They just blather on about trials that vaguely allude to “crimes” but there’s never any actual evidence or documentation, just that the Democrats were mean to the Orange one. The Media dutifully reports on it, it riles up the base, and the fundraising grift goes on.

[Wednesdays]

17. And if TSF takes over as dictator,

you think he'd be the least bit concerned with "charges?"

Similar to Stalin, who was mentioned upthread. You think Stalin bothered with any "charges?"

[NanaCat]

19. Technically, Stalin did have charges lined up

Stupid ones. Dishonest ones. But they all had charges against them, and the accused appeared either in kangaroo courts, or before NKVD tribunals:

Kirov’s death led to three widely publicized trials that successfully wiped out many of Stalin’s political rivals and critics. Several former high-ranking Communists, including Lev Kamenev, Grigorii Zinoviev, Nikolai Bukharin and Aleksei Rykov, to name a few, were accused of treason.

The trials, which became known as the Moscow Trials, were clearly staged events. The accused admitted to being traitors and spies. Later, historians learned that the defendants agreed to these forced confessions only after being interrogated, threatened and tortured.

Meanwhile, the Soviet secret police, known as NKVD, conducted three-member committees in the field to decide whether killings of other anti-Soviets were justified. The accused were tried, found guilty on site and quickly executed.
