Trump calls for jailing and “televised military tribunals” of "Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, Mr. Pence, Mr. Schumer, Mr. McConnell and Nancy Pelosi." I think he is trying to get my vote. (hexbear.net)

Mr. Trump has repeatedly called for the imprisonment of his political opponents, often singling out members of the Jan. 6 committee. But the two posts that Mr. Trump amplified on Sunday particularly stand out.

One proposed jailing an extensive list of high-ranking officials, including Mr. Trump’s former vice president, the top Republican in the Senate and the current president and vice president. The other invoked the dictatorial imagery of a televised military tribunal, which would strip Ms. Cheney of her right to due process similar to the military courts used to prosecute terror suspects at Guantánamo Bay

Too bad leftist organizers of any stripe are also definitely on his list of people to prosecute, otherwise I'd actually be looking forward to this

Right, as soon as they took out a couple big name D's, its open season on any and every actual leftist organizer. Not that they were ever off the table, but now the feds wouldn't even have to pretend.
