Former President Donald Trump amplified posts on social media calling for a televised military tribunal for former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney and the jailing of top elected officials, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“ELIZABETH LYNNE CHENEY IS GUILTY OF TREASON,” one post created by another user that Trump amplified on his social media website Truth Social on Sunday reads. “RETRUTH IF YOU WANT TELEVISED MILITARY TRIBUNALS.”

Absolutely chilling.

Relevant history:

The Reichstag Fire Decree (German: Reichstagsbrandverordnung) is the common name of the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State (German: Verordnung des Reichspräsidenten zum Schutz von Volk und Staat) issued by German PresidentPaul von Hindenburg on the advice of ChancellorAdolf Hitler on 28 February 1933 in immediate response to the Reichstag fire. The decree nullified many of the key civil liberties of German citizens. With the Nazis in powerful positions in the German government, the decree was used as the legal basis for the imprisonment of anyone considered to be opponents of the Nazis, and to suppress publications not considered "friendly" to the Nazi cause.

This is actually good. She needs to come forward and make good on her promise to do everything in her power to see that Donald never gets elected again. He has suddenly thrust her into the spotlight. Her words will carry far much more weight now that Donald has his minions thinking about her.
 
Not just Cheney.

Former President Donald J. Trump over the weekend escalated his vows to prosecute his political opponents, circulating posts on his social media website invoking “televised military tribunals” and calling for the jailing of President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer and former Vice President Mike Pence, among other high-profile politicians.
...
A separate post included photos of 15 former and current elected officials that said, in all-capital letters, “they should be going to jail on Monday not Steve Bannon!” Those officials included Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, Mr. Pence, Mr. Schumer and Mr. McConnell — the top leaders in the Senate — and Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker.

Voters are ok with this?
 
I'll bet the court is dumb enough to think they are going to be able to stop Trump with the same ruling they used to come to his aid if it came to it.
 
If anyone is still curious how dangerous another Trump presidency would be, have a look at his behavior and wants for people. The Supreme Court effectively empowered him to go further off the deep end.

That Liz Cheney is a traitor who will be tried on camera by a military tribunal before being led to execution.

I can hardly wait!

MAGA.

The above post is what Steve Bannon does to the public, and what the insane Trump's base is really gunning for.

The Cheney's should strike first.

If someone promises they are going to concoct a military tribunal for your doing nothing, there's no real reason to tolerate them getting into power.

How? They are deeply invested in the MiC, and it's not likely they have come-toJesus over neoconservatism. So, who on the right will back them? Their billionaire betters?

I'm just saying it's unwise for them to tolerate Trump in power. I don't have any expertise advise the Cheney's on the "How" of it, they should use their imagination.

I agree. But what actionable things can Liz Cheney do?
