President Donald Trump is calling for Democrats to be jailed, ordering the Justice Department to investigate lawmakers who have dared to threaten to hold him and his goons accountable.

The 80-year-old president cast his demand for Democrats’ imprisonment as a response to their threats to investigate members of his administration, particularly Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer.

The mad king's calling for the arrest and imprisonment of political enemies for merely being political opponents is one of the nails in the coffin of a dying empire. Add this on top of J6 too.

    I think his seemingly calm response to the election was due to no one explaining the situation to him. I can't imagine what Miller is recommending now...

    Nah.

    The loss was too big to lie about, and he can say that "he" didn't lose.

    I think that his AG has been on the blower saying "we're all so totally fucked now" and trumps initial response is this outburst.

    I agree except he's so far gone, he had to be told he can't fight this one as fraud, and I think the resignations of the three federal prosecutors has something to do with this. He demanded, they refused, not our of patriotism, but self interest obviously.

    He would cry foul, you know he tried, he didn't get the support. He floats ideas like this, or did before he lost his fucking mind, like after 2020 with the insurrection act and rerunning elections under the gun of the military. Flynn spearheaded it, but he broached it too. Didn't get support.

    2028 is going to be wild, as the dems will manage to nominate newsom or god forbid that douchy chicago sell out they think is tough, the former mayor whatever his stupid name is. Rahm Emmanuel. Fuck that guy, and fuck newsom.

    The establishment will throw us back into the arms of these traitors that are planning on permanently fixing elections. We may only survive now because the prez and his picks are such fucking cunty douche troll liars.

    Next nomination will likely be more intelligent, and with dem establishment in opposition they could topple the republic and throw us into darkness, so to speak.

    It's quite strange. For months leading up to October there were many articles that indicated planned sabotage like executive orders around mail voting, voter roll purges, voting booth closures, plans to use ICE to "secure" polling locations, but as the election grew nearer they dried up.

    Historically propaganda grows all the way up to the pivotal date and evaporates immediately afterwards (e.g. migrant caravans, jan 6). It appears as though some other force was at play; maybe the fascists plans were sabotaged from within, or support amongst their ranks collapsed. Maybe the data across surveillance capitalism indicated it would be statistically impossible to win regardless of all their election fraud, which is only able to impact races that are relatively close.

    They did try to mess with voter rolls and mail in ballots, but it largely fizzled and would have only been a few thousand votes in places where it would not have mattered. Essentially the margin was so wide in the end there was no point in keeping up.

    The ICE scenario was speculation, but as we got into October, it became less likely because it would have had to start by then to make a difference, particularly not being there for early voting meant they weren't going to be there at all. I don't think there was ever real information on that, just a "sounds like something they would do".

    I'm hoping that it continues to turn out to be nothing too severe, but Stephen Miller in particular worries me, he has long openly expressed an enthusiasm for things like sending GOP national guard units into democratically controlled states. They have openly said they have a plan to "govern without Congress", but how far they can go or actually will try to go, who knows.

    There's nothing strange about that. I was convinced that would happen as well, not based on what anyone at all told me, but just by observing the lengths he's willing to go to in the past to cheat elections, combined with a newfound lack of fucks given for any illusion of propriety whatsoever.

    The biggest issue is that the supreme court ruled that he can commit crimes but not be accountable for them whilst president. So this crazy banana republic behavior is going to keep happening until his term ends. All this talk of impeachment is hopeful, but I doubt the democrats will pull it off if AIPAC are still as invested in their politics as numbers suggest. And if they remove him, then there is Vance, so nothing gained

    If the different branches of government can be used to solve the problem, then democracy is strengthened and shows the government is fit for purpose. If it isn't then people know what needs to be fixed to better protect democracy in the future. A descent into violent only fosters chaos and risks civil war. That's bad for everyone

    We have already descended into violence. Violence is already being committed against us. THEY CAME FOR OUR FUCKING DUE PROCESS. That is the underpinning of the social contract between the populace and the government. That was the load bearing wall. We are already in civil war, just some people are too stupid and ignorant to see it, and are happy to let others die for their comfort.

    That is them saying they don't give a shit about the rules, and are more than happy to make you suffer without cause or reason beyond "I say so". But hey, guess there's no need to lose their heads over it, when ours will roll just fine.

    So when are you ready to go to a concentration camp? When are you ready to lose your family for your ideals? Because that shit's already happening, just not to you....yet.

    So forgive me if I find what you said both stupid and naive in the face of the evidence in the world RIGHT NOW. Wake the fuck up already and be fucking angry, because you should be.

    Real civil war is a lot worse than what is happening in the USA right now. The USA is a functioning country and a population that can work together despite recent problems. It isn't a lost cause and these things can be repaired, though it won't be a quick fix

    The USA is not a functioning country. We haven't properly functioned for decades at this point, we are a failing democracy. And I never assumed there was a quick fix. Even if a civil war went our way, it wouldn't be a quick fix, it would just give us an opportunity at better foundations and refactoring our government.

    And we are in a "real" civil war, it's just not open street fighting yet in most parts of the country, mainly because we're so spread out, and many of the population are afraid to lose their comfort while people are taken to Concentration Camps. I wonder if the civil war feels real to them? What do you think? Do you think it feels real to those already taken? To those already harmed? Is it real for them?

    Be as unhappy as you want about the current state of affairs, but mislabelling it isn't going to help you solve the problem.

    Go and look at what's happening in Sudan and Yemen now, or read about what happened in Northern Ireland, Angola, Mozambique, Angola, Syria and so many others and see the vast difference of what they endured vs how the US is now.

    I'm not mislabeling. I get that it isn't as openly bad as other places, but that doesn't change that this is indeed a civil war.

    But regardless it seems like its the excuse you need to not confront reality. Hope you find the guts to do so someday.

    What do I need to be educated on? That I should take your view that a civil war is only a civil war once widespread open fighting happens? That it has no beginnings, it just springs up out of nowhere?

    Bet you think Nazi's started with exterminating Jewish folks first too? That they didn't build up to it? Maybe, when making that comment you should hold up a mirror.

    Either way its obvious you lack guts, empathy and education. Be better.

    You need to be educated on what civil war is, because you keep using the term and yet the features that define a civil war the US does not have, and not once have you defended your claim.

    Inventing fake statements and assumptions about my character only reinforces that you don't know what you are talking about, and all you are is angry and manipulative.

    At least from some of what I've read, their plan is likely to just ignore Congress. They've been arguing that the president has supreme authority to do what he wants, without being answerable to anyone.

    The only thing in theory would be 2/3 Senate to convict after impeachment, and so long as they have enough of the Senate, they don't have to even think about following the rules.

    If 2/3 voted to remove Trump, they might even still be ok with that because JD Vance is another Project 2025 guy. They wouldn't stand far taking both at once, but even if I could imagine some GOP convicting Trump as a scapegoat, they would not go so far as to have the office to the speaker of the house.

    In short, Project 2025 might not see any dire threat from the new Congress and might be inclined to let it roll.

    It's not over yet, we are stronger than they are, we only need to reject the division of people that want better, to cooperate on what we agree on.

    To be clear, you motherfuckers are failing at that. Buying right in to condemning 80 million voters, and everyone in their orbit. I am not blameless to be sure either.

    But we need a new forum, federated perhaps, but with set rules, and a jury trial of verified users for violations, and not the feudal system we have now.
