Trump Amplifies Call to Execute Democratic Lawmakers ("HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!")

Donald Trump is calling for Democratic lawmakers to be prosecuted and amplifying calls for their execution after they released a video reminding service members that they are obligated to refuse unlawful military orders.

The lawmakers include Rep. Jason Crow, a former Army Ranger, who expressed concerns over Trump’s orders. Trump’s own past musings about shooting protesters, deploying the National Guard into U.S. cities, and sending troops to polling locations are examples of scenarios that could put service members in legally perilous situations. Service members have long‑standing obligations under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Trump responded by reposting some of the most extreme reactions to the Washington Examiner story, including a user who wrote, “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!” and another urging sedition charges

He then escalated the rhetoric himself, calling the lawmakers “traitors,” accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL,” and demanding they be “ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL.”

1. Remember "hang Mike Pence"

Sick, demented djt

[leftstreet]

2. How is this not inciting....nevermind n/t

[MarineCombatEngineer]

3. Let's see if Blondi tries to charge them with Sedition at Pedonald's urging.

[Scully]

39. Pedonald!!! First time I've seen that... will have to use (n/t)

[MarineCombatEngineer]

40. I would love to claim I thought of it, but I would be lying, it was one of my granddaughters

who thought it up.
Please feel free to use it far and wide.

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Why Constitution prohibits "Insurrectionists" from elected office.

And a big fuck you to John Roberts and his co-conspirators.

[Escurumbele]

22. I second your opinions...Why are Democrats not trying to impeach John Roberts and the other trump lapdogs ffrom the

supreme court?

[Kid Berwyn]

28. We had two years...

…in which we the Democratic Party controlled the Executive and both Houses of Congress.

The excuse given then for not acting to impeach the traitors and expand the Supreme Court was uttering the magic action-freezing nouns “Manchin,” “Sinema” and “filibuster.”

I think it’s the money, oligarchs and plutocrats fund (or pay) both parties. Who remembers checking a box on their 1040ez to send a dollar to pay for federal election campaigns?

[malaise]

24. Bingo

[Dave Bowman]

5. Pedo traitor says what?

[kentuck]

6. Well, so long as it wasn't Republicans called to be hanged...

I guess there is no need to say anything about it?

[Traildogbob]

7. Apply the

Constitutional penalty to trump and his whole KKKlan for treason. Only that penalty would give justice for EVERY FUCKING crime against our nation.
Nothing else would satisfy the level of fucking he has/is/will do to our country, that millions have died to protect. Fry them like a Fish Sandwich , (ssssish)
Cover his fat ass in Tatar sauce and feed him to sharks that he is so terrified of. PPV. Use the funds to repair the White House destruction.

[jmowreader]

14. Treason is almost impossible to prosecute

Because treason is the worst crime in the world, our Founding Fathers set the bar for prosecution so high we may as well not even have treason statutes.

Besides, are you absolutely certain sharks like tartar sauce? They seem more like they're into cocktail sauce.

[Traildogbob]

44. 😉

I know the treason bar is high, but in all my years and respectable knowledge of history, no one has been in our face committed it more, practically daily, than this asshole. There should be at minimum the same penalty given the FBI Russian informant from about 3-4 decades back. (Damn it, my respectable knowledge just went blank on his name) And his selling secret info to Russia was nothing compared to this asshole. Maybe international law can feed him to sharks with his crimes against humanity.
Just for deporting Latino’s with zero crimes to Ukraine to get killed. BLOWing up fishermen with no evidence. Yea I emphasized blowing. Cause I believe Arnold Palmer had a nickname amount Golf Club Pro’s and it was Bubba. And trump is on video praising and drooling about his massive dong that he was so thrilled to see in Club Showers. Would he toot that horn to get into the Bro Pack of golf’s best?
Some People say.
I think an example should be made of him and all the hell and destruction he poured on us all. Make sure another Trump never sits in our house ever again.
And, yes remove the tarter sauce, don’t want him to lick it off with glee before the big beautiful great white shreds his fat ass.
When gotta have dreams, especially now.
Have a great holiday season!!

8. So, i guess it's ok to threaten congressional members?

[GiqueCee]

9. Trump is...

... an out-of-control psychopath. He SHOULD know at least a little bit about the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He is such a piece of shit, and a fucking traitor. He so wanted to be a ruthless dictator, but he's about to go down in flames, and the sooner the better. The days of "Teflon Don" are over.
We're only a year apart in age, but I am determined to live long enough to piss on his grave. That's gonna be a LONG line, though. Get your tickets now!

[Hey Joe]

13. Just how far out into insanity and lawlessness

is this fuckwit going to be allowed to wander before something is done to stop this madness?
Every day he gets more power mad, hateful and cruel. Is the republican congress not realizing that he is destroying every semblance of democratic society and their own futures along with it?

[GiqueCee]

15. I think...

... they're waiting for him to do a face plant into a Big Mac. Then they'll get to rule over the ashes of the unmitigated disaster that is the Trump regime.
Careful what you wish for, you malevolent shitwits. It's unlikely that any of you will ever get within a mile of public office ever again; too many of you aided and abetted Trump in his crimes, and it isn't going to be forgotten.

[D_Master81]

10. Seems like violent rhetoric

If I’m not mistaken the Republicans are the party of ideas and free speech and thinking. This seems to be inciting violence which I specifically remember them saying only Democrats do that

[spanone]

11. Get the net. trmp is insane.

17. MaddowBlog-White House targets Democratic veterans who told troops to refuse illegal orders

In theory, the Democratic video shouldn’t have been especially controversial. In practice, Team Trump’s pushback has been over the top.

Dem veterans reminded servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.

Trump responded by accusing them of “sedition,” labeling them “traitors” and suggesting that they’re subject to arrest — all before raising the possibility *of capital punishment*. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/white-house-targets-democratic-veterans-told-troops-refuse-illegal-ord-rcna244954

Acting on those concerns, six Democratic members of Congress, who served in the military, the intelligence community or both, appeared in a video this week to remind current service members that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders. The New York Times reported:

The stark message, posted on Tuesday, was organized by Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a former C.I.A. analyst who served multiple tours in Iraq. … ‘Our laws are clear,’ said Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, a Navy veteran and former astronaut. ‘You can refuse illegal orders.’ ‘You must refuse illegal orders,’ added Representative Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, who also served in the Navy.

...In theory, the video shouldn’t have been especially controversial. After all, the Democratic veterans are correct: Service members aren’t supposed to follow illegal orders.

In practice, the partisan pushback has been ferocious.....

On Thursday morning, the president published an item to his social media platform responding to the message from the Democratic veterans, saying, “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???”

This dovetailed with a similar message, also posted on Thursday morning, which read, “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand — We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET.”

Soon after, the Republican added, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

Trump similarly amplified an online message written by someone else, who wrote, “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!.....

In the recent past, many leading GOP voices warned that rhetoric like this was corrosive to society and heightened the risk of political violence. Evidently, the incumbent president, outraged by calls in support of the rule of law, doesn’t care.

[twodogsbarking]

18. I wonder if Trump's necktie can hold 300 pounds? No special reason, just wondering.

[NotHardly]

19. He's trying to get them killed.

...and there are plenty of Repub loons out there that might/would try.

[ShazzieB]

41. He absolutely is.

SCOTUS really created a monster with that immunity ruling. Not that he wasn't already a monster, but they literally gave him permission to be a full out hellbeast. Nice work, Roberts, Alito, Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas. You must be really proud of yourselves, you disgusting enabling traitors!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

43. And when THEY rule against him on something,

they'll feel his unhinged wrath also, he'll call for their removal and arrest and execution.
They set the stage for this.

[ShazzieB]

46. I can hardly wait to see that happen!

Would pay to see the looks on their faces when he turns on them!

33. Senator Murphy-It is time to draw a line in the sand

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

President George Washington did face an insurrection during his administration. He suppressed it without executing anyone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskey_Rebellion

should have asked somebody who knows something about the military and not following illegal orders before aggressively reminding the world how unfit he is for public service.

Same goes for Holy Mike who to some extent defended him.
