What we witnessed today was a cornered rat.

[mobeau69]

The “president” said that the former president and vice-president were guilty of treason and should be jailed for 50 years.

Think about that. This is not normal.

[Laffy Kat]

1. As usual, all projection. nt

[mobeau69]

2. He obviously has a hell of a lot more on the line than just losing the office.

[Laffy Kat]

7. Absolutely, hence the projection.

He knows what's going to happen. That's why I don't think he'll stay in the states when he loses the election. He's gonna flee.

[smirkymonkey]

8. I think you're on to something Laffy Kat.

This was clearly a blatant example of projection on his part, and I notice that he has been doing it more and more lately with outrageous accusations toward others. It's almost like he can't live with his own lies and deceit any longer and this is his way of purging his guilt.

I honestly hope he does flee. And I hope he takes his rotten, grifting family with him.

[durablend]

31. Can he take all his supporters with him too--pls ?

[smirkymonkey]

33. I wish!

I am sure he could influence a few. I mean, they would rather be Russian than live under a Democratic government. They even wear T-shirts advertising it.

[Laffy Kat]

36. In a way, it's an interesting question.

I do wonder what will happen to all of his supporters? Will they crawl back under their rocks or continue to try to thwart equality and progress? It may very well get worse before it gets better. Our new DOJ must be rock-solid.

[onetexan]

14. I've been saying that is the Con's plan B - 1st plane out to Russia

[Laffy Kat]

17. I can't decide if I'd just want to see them leave, or..

Stay here and die a slow death by indictment after indictment.

[onetexan]

18. I'd prefer they flee so they wld have to leaveall their real estate assets behind

For the govt to seize. Then the Con & his ilk can be fugitives with warrants on their heads.

[Lonestarblue]

27. Trump probably has stashed millions in friendly countries that ask no questions about big deposits.

I wonder how much campaign cash has found its way to a secret bank account in Panama or the Bahamas. Probably not safe sending it to Russia since Putin takes what he wants.

[Lucky Luciano]

23. Ya think Putin would let him live once he's useless?

[niyad]

28. Until nobody is looking.

[Nevilledog]

35. Sir, would you like a cup of tea? The waiter, big guy, asked me with tears in his eyes.

[Trueblue Texan]

24. I think you are correct about this....

[Laffy Kat]

30. We will soon find out. nt

[Loge23]

32. Totally agree

Where to, though?
Russia would be the obvious choice, but he'll end up dead there.
Some other country without an extradition agreement with the USA, my guess.
But yes, he'll run.

[johnp3907]

3. Aspirational Stalinism.

If he gets a second term it’ll graduate to actual.

[sarcasmo]

4. I will take, things a Dictator would say for 1,000 Alex.

5. Barr defends Trump use of treason against Biden, Obama, insists it was 'colloquial.'

Barr defends Trump use of treason against Biden, Obama, insists it was 'colloquial.' Trump's own words suggest otherwise
Trump has repeatedly called for his political enemies to be jailed.

Attorney General William Barr argued in an interview Wednesday that President Trump's repeated allegations of "treason" against political opponents he believes targeted his presidency is a phrase that the president uses "colloquially," rather than literally.

"Treason is a legal term," Barr told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "I think he’s using it colloquially. To commit treason, you actually have to have a state of war with a foreign enemy, but I think he feels that they were involved in an injustice, and if he feels that, he can say it."

Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution states that the legal standard for convicting a person of treason "shall consist only in levying war against [the U.S.], or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."

But a review of Trump's frequent past use of the term, which he primarily uses to denigrate those he believes were involved in launching the investigation of his presidential campaign's ties to Russia in 2016, shows how Trump nearly always connects the phrase directly to the prospect of sending his enemies to prison.

"If I were a Democrat, this whole thing would have been so different, people would be in jail now two years ago for 50-year terms because this was treason," Trump said in a Tuesday interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "This was subversion. This was the overthrow of a country."

Trump has in recent months increasingly invoked 'treason' to baselessly tie the launch of the Russia investigation to his election opponent former Vice President Joe Biden as well as former President Obama. A review of the investigation released last year by the Justice Department's inspector general concluded the probe was launched with proper cause by the FBI, despite errors and missteps by bureau and DOJ officials through the course of the investigation.

11. Barr is nothing but a smug jackass. A real POTUS doesn't misuse that word.

[bullimiami]

15. OR in adhering to our enemies ... this is the big fucking OR that is always glossed over.

[dalton99a]

25. To the point that poison control centers in North Texas . . . .

. . . are overrun with calls from people drinking fucking bleach because Littlus Dickus says it's a miracle cure. Last reporting I saw said somewhere around 50 cases.

[RKP5637]

37. Incredible! n/t

[randr]

9. Projecting fears of his probable future

[Initech]

12. The only thing Trump can sell is a steaming load of grade A bullshit

[mr_lebowski]

13. I'd love to hear our next AG saying something very much along those lines ... assuming they have the

goods necessary to make it stick.

Which should not be at all difficult to come up with.

[HipChick]

16. Is this his October surprize?

He's going to try and lock up his opponent?

[dameatball]

21. Seems more and more like a cheesy tv villain...oh.....wait.

[yuiyoshida]

22. And given four more years...He could do just that

Jail democrats for having the audacity of calling him out...

[Cha]

26. Stupid trump is Projecting him & pence.. doesn't think we

can see right through his Bloated Treasonous ASSFACE.

[paleotn]

29. Was it the benzos and adderall talking?

Or was it Donnie Dumb Ass. Who can tell?
