Summary

Donald Trump, speaking at the Justice Department, called for jailing officials behind the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and defended allies while attacking critics.

He praised Judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed his classified documents case, and condemned those who criticized her.

Trump called former special counsel Jack Smith “deranged” and referred to Jan. 6 defendants as “hostages.”

His remarks, delivered before Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, underscore his escalated rhetoric on retribution now that he holds presidential power again.

    I’m calling for killing the king, should we ever get one in the United States. I’m not saying that the president is a king, I’m just saying that if someone were to become a king, instead of a president, they should be executed.

      If your guillotine blade isn’t sharp, at least make sure it’s heavy.

      I mean, I publicly say I wish Trumps shooter hadn’t missed so badly, and that Trump had caught the bullet with his empty fucking skull. I just wish when his skull gets blown apart, it’s on live TV, so I can enjoy having it as my screensaver in uncensored HD.

          As bad as I wanted to see that happen, this problem doesn’t go away when one man dies. It’s clear that we need to see where this path leads before we learn our lesson. I wish that weren’t true, but it is.

        What? And make him a martyr?

        I want him to cark it at a campaign rally. Pop a blood vessel in his skull, while pushing a little too hard on a constipated shit, only to lose the last shred of a fragment of sanity. To see him collapse onto the ground growling and chewing on the podium.

        To quote G’kar… it’s a dream I have.

      ASAP. And ideally before they actually become king. Like, if there’s gonna be a crowning or whatever ceremony, they shouldn’t get to make it. They’ll have a prior engagement with a hooded figure.

        They should have never made it this far. obviously a fully corrupt and for sale president is ideal for a lot of powerful people.

    I mean Trump was practically responsible for the US leaving Afghanistan.

      *cough Night of the Long Knives cough

      I mean we literally just had Musk pushing the narrative that Hitler wasn’t at fault for killing so many because it was really the fault of the bureaucrats who followed his orders.

      Leopard, meet faces.

      Not practically actually, he set the timeline too soon and everyone said hey great idea stupid timeline. The time runs out and Biden keeps to Trump’s set deadline and it’s a shit show exactly like everyone expected. And yet somehow a large percentage of people blame it on Biden and almost certainly would have blamed him if they extended to pullout agreement.

    The number of pages from Putins book are disturbing. What countries will take skilled American refugees?

      You can pretty much go anywhere in Latin America and a lot of Asia is aware they need immigration to succeed, as for Europe Spain is he most friendly to immigrants, they will work with many people who wish to immigrate rather than combat them. Stay far far away from Australia, or NZ, they are generally hostile to immigrants, and if you’re really unlucky they might strand you on an island and never let you back off. I’ve really not looked seriously at Africa, it’s an interesting prospect, but anyway, it’s hard to immigrate, but it’s possible and a lot of people enjoy the changes.

    If I was that asshole, I would forgive all the student loans tomorrow to to see all those transexuals squeal. You know how gays, lesbians and transexuals GLT really hate final payments of loans. I just wish In could see their faces on their last payment.

    Nah, but seeing Tesla tumble to Craigslist level makes me happy.

    Does Schumer know that Trump means him? He can’t be that dence, can he? We know he’s spineless, but does he grasp the situation in full.

    Nazis. Either you are Nancy, or you decree the Nazis. Anything less than denouncing Nazis means that you are a Nazi that was the standard in the 1940s, and it carries to today.

    Unless you denounce Nazis, you’re automatically a Nazi.

      Correct. Nazi apologists are Nazis.

      If 10 people are at dinner when a Nazi joins them, and none leave or tries to kick them out, you have 11 Nazis.
