Trump calls for suspension of constitution. I call for the termination of Trumps freedom.

[fightforfreedom]

Trump must be removed from our society. He is still talking sedition and now he is talking about ending the constitution, as he runs for president. He is without a doubt the biggest threat to our country. It is time to put an end to this traitor.

I believe Garland and Smith will end the nightmare called Trump. It's no longer, should, will, Trump be indicted. It is now, Trump must be indicted.

If the indictment, conviction, imprisonment, of Trump leads to some violence, chaos, So be it. We have to end this. We have to go through the pain of of convicting a former president who turned traitor.

I will consider this growing pains for our nation. It's time for our nation to grow up.

I want the deranged sonofabitch muzzled but the more he spews his vomitus bilge the more he confesses..."openly, transparently" (stealing classified documents)..his latest confession is that of a cornered rabid animal... he wants his "toy" back.. the Oval Office=immunity from prosecution..

[kentuck]

2. It needs to be said.

A jury of his "peers" should decide the punishment for his crimes.

He may think there are no "peers", but in the eyes of the law, we are all "peers".

[Tetrachloride]

3. +1000

[PCIntern]

4. Next he's going to call for violent overthrow of the government

Which, AFAIC, he’s already done by inference. Last I looked, this was a serious federal crime and in some instances it is a capital offense.

What’s it gonna take? Does he have to shoot an elected official on Fifth Avenue? Or is that okay as well?

[malaise]

7. That is exactly what he meant here

[wnylib]

18. Desperate attempt to avoid prosecution for his crimes

by stirring up anti government, anti democracy people to violence. Trump's high level backers and his followers are willing to go the revolution route to get their way.

[malaise]

21. They will fail again

[wnylib]

32. I agree. But how much damage will be done

in the process, and how many people hurt?

And to think that I actually felt guilty for wishing him a bad outcome when he had covid.

[IzzaNuDay]

5. Feces is getting real

As long as 45 spouts out this nonsense, his followers will do whatever they can to make this real. Well, they almost succeeded on J6. This sounds more like “at first, if you don’t succeed, then try again.

Since the alleged seditionists in the House were never censured nor expelled from Congress, the potential for another overturn is also there.

[MayReasonRule]

6. Trump and associates have always been traitors.

Trump didn't just turn into a traitor after becoming president.

Trump has always been a traitor, through and through.

[SouthernDem4ever]

8. Just another part of trump's treason game

Why he is still allowed the freedom he doesn't deserve is beyond me. He spits in the face of every soldier that died defending us.

[boston bean]

9. They are just patriots who love this country.

Is the sarcasm emoji really necessary?

[E. Normus]

10. Growing Pains, Yes.

Growing up, absolutely. Hey, there is already chaos and violence because of this traitorous cretin. Rip off the band aid and lets move forward already!

[flying_wahini]

19. Yea, rip it off! And Welcome to DU!

[Prairie_Seagull]

35. I am not a lawyer but sure seems to be he has bypassed,

the heart and soul of RICO is intended for.

[RobertDevereaux]

11. From Heather Cox Richardson today...

“But the real story here is not Trump’s panic about his fading relevance and his legal exposure; it’s that Trump remains the presumptive presidential nominee for the Republican Party in 2024. The leader of the Republican Party has just called for the overthrow of our fundamental law and the installation of a dictator.

“White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement: “The American Constitution is a sacrosanct document that for over 200 years has guaranteed that freedom and the rule of law prevail in our great country. The Constitution brings the American people together—regardless of party—and elected leaders swear to uphold it. It’s the ultimate monument to all of the Americans who have given their lives to defeat self-serving despots that abused their power and trampled on fundamental rights. Attacking the Constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation, and should be universally condemned. You cannot only love America when you win.”

“But Republicans, so far, are silent on Trump’s profound attack on the Constitution, the basis of our democratic government.

“That is the story, and it is earth shattering.”

[Mr. Ected]

13. Something the weasel Chuck Todd said the other day actually rings true

We know who the Never Trumpers are. Now we need to find out who the Only Trumpers are.

From Congressional Republicans' silence on the issue, one will have to assume ALL of them are.

[SouthernDem4ever]

12. Put him in the same cell block as the oath keepers

There they can plot in private.

[Martin Eden]

14. Trump's statement should be hung like an albatross around the neck of every Republican

Who ever supported him.

The major media should doggedly confront every MAGA politician with it, demanding an answer as to whether or not they will now denounce Trump and kick him out of their Party.

[Rebl2]

29. Absolutely

Unfortunately major media is not brave enough to go after MAGA politicians demanding to know if they support tfg. The Republican Party that I used to know does not exist. It has become the cult of trump.

[LittleGirl]

15. Seriously, when he getting the perp walk

we are all looking for? Wtf is taking so goddamn long?
Isn’t his latest missive proof that he is a traitor to our constitution?
Lock him up!

[Cyrano]

16. Trump isn't the biggest threat to the country. His followers are.

Too bad this self-delusional person came along to open the gates of hell. He's got the reverse Midas Touch. Everything he touches turns to shit. But there are evidently millions of Americans who like it that way. They watch Fox "news," they gobble up every iota of wingnut crap flying around the web, they hang on every thought that drools from the orange creatures mouth, and they no longer have any sense of reality.

They want Trump to be "Dear Leader," and if he can't be, they'll "take to the streets." They are the greatest threat to our country, our freedoms and our way of life.

[jaxexpat]

17. Not so fast, pal.

It takes a lot more than provable guilt to remove an oligarch from American society. We didn't even imprison the officers who lead brutal military campaigns against the union at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives. Wouldn't be seemly to go around arresting and imprisoning the scions of wealthy families for simply speaking their minds. I mean, who did they harm anyway? Their fellow autocrats didn't suffer, did they? So, what if a few million minions get mislead into supporting an insurrection. Mice in a cage will act like mice after all. Minions will be minions.

Who's complaining? The usual loud mouths who still like to think their concerns have any value in a system that entitles them to "rights"? Certainly not those who worship the (read in a deeply profound inner voice) American Justice System. That system which has adopted every civilized legalistic manipulation devised over millennia thro...... blah blah blah......ous to provide liberty and justice for all! AMEN! Those people are too busy being freaking knocked over by the realization that their precious system is totally incapable of saving anything, even itself. Unable to even find a single enforceable pronouncement to define the "live on tee vee" evidence everybody's already seen with their own eyes. That's why its officially ignored in a mad ploy to convince enough people that it never even happened at all.

It's the sixties all over again: every protest for justice is put down extra hard to satisfy the urges of the brutalists (and their mothers) in our midst while those protesting give themselves over to disillusion and, ultimately, exhausted despair. It will continue thus until some bright lad finds the perfect war scenario to magically dispel the phantom inflation fraud by plundering some poor people somewhere to cough up a little extra for the cause. That, my friends, is the actual proof the world is not flat.

[malaise]

26. Fascinating post

but I think this time Slobby will pay. I truly hope you are wrong.

[Stuart G]

37. malaise. You are totally correct. "This time Slobby will pay" Here is why..Trump has proved he's

TOTALLY NUTS." (totally nuts to most people) I got to add that one.

Trump will pay because that is the..."final straw." .................."Final Straw"...meaning while most people

will give Trump room, (a lot of room)..to say this & that, but this statement today proves to most people & to most professional politicians of both parties, that Trump is ....NUTS..... It is simple................

.Here is the simple argument..." that Donald Trump is NUTS..."


1. We did NOT suspend the Constitution during the Civil War..(we fought to protect it, & Lincoln was great!)

2. We did NOT suspend the Constitution during World War I...Did we?

3. We did NOT suspend the Constitution during World War II..Did we?

4. We did NOT suspend the Constitution following Kennedy's Assassination. Did We?

5. We did NOT suspend the Constitution during Nison's Watergate hearings Did We?

6. We did NOT suspend the Constitution after 9/11 ...Did We?...

Well that is enough proof that Trump's statement is far beyond the..." Loony Toons"
(apologies to all toon fans out there.)

Donald Trump just proved to most knowledgeable people that care about the U.S.A..................

.........................that he is.. "TOTALLY NUTS!!!!"

[malaise]

38. Totally desperate is more like it Stuart G

That noose his goons set up for Pence and Pelosi is getting closer to him

[Stuart G]

39. You got it again....."Totally desperate"

..."getting closer to him" I agree completely.

[jaxexpat]

40. Oh, I hope to be proven wrong all over this thing.

But can you imagine a scenario in which TFG actually spends time in any kind of prison before every conceivable excuse not to convict him has been exhausted and re-exhausted and pigeonholed off to the side just in case there's another reason somebody, perhaps yet unborn, can think of to explain why he shouldn't go to jail?

It has taken about 2 years to get permission to tell him "no, bad ex-president". It'll take another 2 years to disconnect his prosecution from his fake presidential campaign. When he loses in 2024, it'll keep the courts busy for another 2 years proving the government's prosecution wasn't the reason for his loss. If Republicans gain anything in 2024 the prosecution may well be forced to just abandon the case.

In the face of that kind of thinking I find it hard to feel positive. We're 23 months in and the lousy SOB is still at large. TFG in cuffs, just once before I go to that big complaint department and whiner convention in the sky I wanna see TGF in cuffs and an orange jump suit. (Manacles would be a nice touch, too.)

[malaise]

41. He will probably arrange his own killing and have his goons

blame someone else. He knows it's the endgame and has no plan to deal with the consequences of a life sprinkled with racism, woman-hating, criminality, entitlement and vulgarity. He's a detestable creep.

[Prairie_Seagull]

36. Exhausted despair.

Drink a fucking energy drink and then move to Canada.

[ouija]

20. I approve of Trump being charged on Jan. 21, 2024

[Chainfire]

22. So we are to trash the Constitution, disband the congress, fire the judges and install Trump as

Emperor. Now, tell me, why would we do this?

[sagetea]

23. They don't

call it growing pains for nothing.

sage

[nightwing1240]

24. Ban him to Russia so he can be with his BFF Putin!

If they won't arrest and charge him, at least expel him from the United States!

[onenote]

48. Ignoring the Constitution isn't a good way to respond to Trump's call to ignore the Constitution

[nightwing1240]

49. Not suggesting to ignore the Constitution

The man at the very least is guilty of treason and sedition and deserves expulsion. No, there has not been an arrest, trial or conviction. But have you not seen nor heard enough regarding tRump from January 6, 2021 until now to form an opinion? That is all mine is, opinion that tRump is guilty and is the greatest single threat the United States of America faces at present.

[onenote]

50. Actually you were.

You were suggesting he be expelled without due process (i.e., having been arrested or charged with a crime and tried).

Glad to see you walking back your post, sort of.

[GreenWave]

25. Exactly what a dictator would want.

[AngryOldDem]

27. Finally we will see where the Republican Party stands...

…as well as who and what they are.

They’ve been kicking this piece of shit down the road since 2015. The day of reckoning has finally come. Which side are you on, GOP? Fascism or democracy? You now MUST pick a side. And OWN IT.

[FakeNoose]

44. Yeah, they're saying they're fine with it

OK, let them all OWN it!

[Martin68]

28. I believe suspension of the Constitution was the plan Trump formulated with his advisors (Stone,

Flynn, Bannon, et al) in conjunction with the Oath Keepers and The Proud Boys. Trump was supposed to declare martial law (which suspends the Constitution) and call on militias(Proud Boys et.) to enforce a takeover of the electoral system. It seems to me that maybe rump chickened out when Pence, Barr, and a few others refused to go along with the plan.

[Paper Roses]

30. This is the same man who swore to uphold the constitution when inaugurated.

Now he wants to do away with this same constitution. I can only hope that the American people have finally see what this man is. A liar, crook, and a would-be dictator.

Edited to add: I just went to all the news sites that I follow. Why is this not big news" No mention. Makes me angry that this is not highlighted. Trump is a danger to the country. I think this is a major story and should be a headline of the front pages of all of these news outlets.

[fightforfreedom]

31. Trump is a fascist just like his father. His father taught him well.

[Tommymac]

33. TFG needs his Depends changed. He gets cranky & batshit crazy when they are filled with poop.

Which they almost always are.

[Stuart G]

34. K and R Thanks .. With this statement Trump has terminated all chances for election to "ANYTHING"

"ANYTHING FOR EVER AND EVER" ....TRUMP IS NUTS, AND THIS STATEMENT PROVES IT.

[Beetwasher.]

42. A True Menace to Society

If there ever was one.

43. I can't call for what I'd like to see happen.

I’d be in the penalty box for it.
