Trump goes on late-night social media rant demanding Democrats who spoke out on military justice be jailed

President continues to insist Democrats committed ‘sedition’ while avoiding another direct call for their deaths

Donald Trump issued another pair of calls for Democrats who spoke out against illegal orders to the military to be jailed late Saturday evening as he battles a sinking public image and unprecedented resistance within his own party on the Hill.

The president delivered his latest statements in the form of all-caps tirades on Truth Social, where he defended the supposed legal basis for charging members of the opposing political party with treason or seditious conspiracy. But even in doing so, he seemed to back away explicitly from calls for their executions, something he’d raised as a threat only days before.

But the president was clearly irked by the refusal of congressional Republicans to join him, and used one Truth Social post to insist that America’s legal scholars were on his side – without naming any. The episode marked just his latest crash-out stemming from the original issue: A video, posted by congressional Democratic members who served in the military, urging the commanders of the armed services to follow their constitutional duty to refuse illegal orders from the White House or Defense Department.

“MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS AGREE THAT THE DEMOCRAT TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS, AS PRESIDENT, HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME OF SERIOUS PROPORTION!” he argued.

1. Then arrest them. FAFO.

[2naSalit]

2. I wish...

He'd hurry up and fuck off and die.

5. I look forward to that day.

And have a bottle of '84 elderberry wine waiting to be opened for the occasion.

3. Those military/intel veterans knew this was coming

But I think they'll have to act shocked for the camera. I think we'll hear the word "chilling" a few times.

But these heroes baited Needy Amin so well. By demanding their arrest, he's suggesting he doesn't think our military can disobey illegal orders.

4. as a kid

if someone was telling a whopper, we'd say yeah, yeah, yeah. with each yeah getting longer and longer. like blah, blah blah only more dismissive.

[allegorical oracle]

6. The people who spoke out specified "illegal orders" must be disregarded. Dump

ignores the word "illegal" because his life has revolved around illegal activities. He may not comprehend the word -- or hasn't yet discovered it-- like he's just recently learned "groceries". He's fundamentally illiterate.

7. So it's okay to follow illegal orders now?

When did this change happened?

[malaise]

8. The Bestie Jeffrey et al survivors want the same for him

Eff him. Impeach him again.
That is all

9. The Bestie Jeffrey et al survivors want the same for him

Eff him. Impeach him again.
That is all

10. A crime of serious proportion is

An attempted COUP AND OVERTHROW OF GOVERNMENT BECAUSE YOU LOST AN ELECTION.

Brasil knows how to handle sht like that.

[Danascot]

11. "When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal,"

as stated during Nixon's 1977 interviews with David Frost. He clarified that if the president approves an action for national security reasons, those who carry it out are doing so without violating the law

12. Aren't any of his advisors

Telling him how bad this makes him look to his own base?

Thier God-King telling them that these Democrats are traitors who should be jailed and hung.....Their response is "Do it!" And they are wondering why he doesn't.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. They're probably afraid of being arrested and or executed.

It's tongue and cheek, but I wouldn't put it past Pedonald to do so.

[Boo1]

15. Probably the same reason

They are only showing him polls they made up so that he thinks he has 70% approval ratings.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

13. Has anyone else noticed that AG Blondi seems to not be listening to his demands

that those that made that video be arrested and charged?
Unless in the next few days or weeks she does try something asinine like that, I think that she can see the writing on the wall and is trying to put distance between her and Pedonald.

She also knows that if she tried to arrest and charge them, she would be hauled before the House for impeachment hearings, and then to the Senate for trial which more than likely end in a conviction and removal and a ban from ever holding any fed. office again.

Of course, as always, this is my opinion, but based on recent events of Congress defying him, it's a valid opinion.

Happy Monday everyone, hope y'all have a good week.
