Trump on Liz Cheney: ‘Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her’

Pyrite said:
No, it's because she opposed him. (Liz Cheney didn't initiate or prosecute the wars.)

And because she's female. (Trump didn't talk about shooting her dad in the face, did he?)

I think he's afraid of Dick Cheney.

I can read. I know what he said, and what he didn't say.

Trump's comment again does not threaten Cheney and everybody who can read KNOWS she is spinning. Why are you helping her?

Read it again and this time for CONTEXT. Trump is not a dictator who desires to destroy free nations or threaten Liz Cheney with death. Trump is not deranged. She is spinning all of this for her own anti-Trump agenda.

"Trump called Cheney "a deranged person" and added, "But the reason she couldn’t stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. If it were up to her, we’d be in 50 different countries."

The former president continued, "She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

Cheney responded in a post on X (formerly Twitter): "This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant."

The problem is, he supports torture. His problem with Liz Cheney is that she supports the Constitution., not that she supports violence. He adores violence. He hates laws and regulations that keep him from unleashing his violence at the people of his choosing at the time of his choosing without any regulation. Because he is a Fascist.

Yep.
 
Soe really smart person here started a thread about how Trump can be lawless and Kamala has to be flawless.
 
This is not the first time, Harris has dishonestly taken Trump comments, taking them completely out of context, spinning for her own advancement in the election.

The voting electorate is not stupid, and knows what she is doing.
 
Pyrite said:
Saying someone should be shot in the face isn't "understandable" to me. Not by a long shot. Making it acceptable to say these shitty things - and by a so-called "leader" - isn't a good idea.

And one more thing:

He's pissed at both Dick and Liz Cheney for backing Harris. But he singles out only ONE of the Cheneys: the female. Got anything to say about trump's zeroing in on HER and HER alone?

I'm merely commenting on the comment, not the motivation behind it or why he's picking on Liz and not Dick. We're talking about Trump here. He's an asshole.

But he's not saying she should be shot in the face, at least not to me, given the fact that this is a common sentiment. No one saying "let's put ________________ on the front line if the want to send our people to war" is actually suggesting that _________ should be on the front line, or shot, or blown up, or whatever. It's a statement against war - at least, every time it's ever been said before Trump said it.

Sorry, that's just how I see it, no one need feel obliged to agree...hehe...

I've copied and pasted trump's comments.
?
Trump is pissed at both Cheneys, but, true to form, he attacks only the female - who, unlike her father, wasn't involved in initiating or prosecuting the wars. So, how hypocritical is that? Moreover, it's a hell of a tell: trump isn't pissed about any wars. He's angry as hell that the Cheneys have stood up to him and back Harris.

But trump didn't attack Dick Cheney. Why not? Because he's a misogynist. And, as another poster pointed out, coward donnie is likely afraid of Dick Cheney.
 
Dick Cheney has Secret Service protection and a lot of connections.

It's started by and continued by trump's own words:

His talk - in public - of multiple shooters targeting an American woman in her face.

There's no way to justify this. Yet you and others are normalizing it.

What do you think happens if someone is in a war?

Your description isn't accurate and anyone who saw the whole quote can see that.

I'm commenting on the comment.

It's not only uncalled for, it's scary as shit: a political leader who would be POTUS and CinC publicly talks about multiple shooters targeting an American woman - former Congressperson, no less - and deliberately aiming for her face.

There is no way to justify or defend a leader's saying this.
 
Pyrite said:
Yep. Both Dick and Liz Cheney back Harris.

Trump, though, targets and attacks only the female.

Think about that....

Hmmm. Which Cheney is still active in politcs?

And, if he becomes President, he'll have near-absolute immunity, courtesy of the Republican Six.

This is their new fine people on both sides hoax. Luckily nobody thinks the corporate media is credible anymore except Democrats so their old playbook doesn't work anymore.

Hmmmm.....which Cheney was involved in those wars you all are using as cover for trump's comments?

Not Liz. But she's the only Cheney trump talked about being shot in the face.

Yet again, trump shows he's a misogynist. And a guy who wants to take revenge against those who have stood up to him, those who oppose him, those who don't agree with him.

And he wants to do so VIOLENTLY.

What he said is in no way acceptable.

We're not talking about Liz Cheney's being on active duty during a war.

Trump attacked Liz Cheney because she opposes him politically. And because she's a woman.

That's bad enough, but the imagery he used? Having nine shooters aim for and shoot her in the face?

This is unacceptable speech.

That you are normalizing it reflects poorly on you.

Btw, would you say "meh" to a teenager who talked about shooting a classmate in her face?
 
Normalizing and rationalizing enemies list comments including this specific instance where Trump visualized a political enemy in front of a firing squad to make a point, it's wrong. We have to take his previous comments into account when judging this specific comment.

This has nothing to do with the topic: trump's completely unacceptable and highly reprehensible comments about multiple shooters' aiming for a woman's face.

That you and others here are normalizing this kind of speech is as dangerous as trump's words.

Btw, you've not answered the question I posed to you:

Were a teenage boy to talk about shooting a classmate in the face, would you have the same "meh" response you have to trump's talk about Liz Cheney?

This is the society some MAGAs seem to think is what we should have: one in which leaders* publicly talk up/about physical violence against those who stand up to them.


*REPUBLICAN leaders.

It feels like we're at the beginning of a wave of a lot more women running for office/etc/etc. Not her specifically but you know what I mean.

They pretty much have to so they can protect all the crazy ass shit coming their way.

Um you brought up the immunity.

Your question is nonsensical because Liz Cheney who likes war isn't a teenager in a classroom.
