What's interesting to me is that sedition and treason are acts against the state, not any particular representative of the state. But he's clearly thinking he is the state, not just a representative. L'État, c'est moi much?

Yeah. He’s made many comments in the past where it’s quite clear he views himself as king, anything he views as against the State is against him, anything he wants is what the State wants.

He also responded to the latest No Kings protest with a video of himself wearing a crown flying a jet and dropping shit on the protesters.

That's crazy. You think Trump's ego would override his dogged commitment to Constitutional Principles and Democratic Norms? I just feel like this is a bridge to far, even for me, a staunch and outspoken liberal pundit.

You'll never win the next election if you don't tone the far-left rhetoric way down and only say things you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal court of law. That's why you need to sit down, shut up, and support Liz Cheney in 2028.

lmao I still can't believe liberals aren't a parody of themselves.

Do nothing for 2 years and don't say anything too spicy, that's how you fight fascism!

So I guess you and fox news were committing treason daily when talking about Biden day after day during his presidency?

Oh that's right, the rules only apply to other people....

Two observations:

  1. He always denies more strongly when criticisms are true. This seems to be reflexive, probably stemming from his Roy Cohn, escalate-everything training. So I take this as evidence he has serious health issues.

  2. Whenever he uses words outside his normal vocabulary, it's because someone has used them to him recently. Since reporting has confirmed Bondi is preparing a report on "anti-American" terrorism (presumably at Trump's direction, even if he remembered to send that message privately this time) that Ken Klippenstein has evidence will just be criminalizing opposition, we may actually be approaching the phase of fascism where people are arrested and charged with treason for criticizing Trump.

This seems to be reflexive, probably stemming from his Roy Cohn, escalate-everything training.

Yes, 100%, I see this too and cannot fathom why it’s not really talked about. This philosophy combined with his ossifying brain explain his complete insanity.

If it wasn't for talking nonsense about Biden's health (and Hillary's too) I'm not sure the the Faux Cinematic Universe even had any other content for certain periods of time...

11

I'm sure Trump will smirk at that, knowing Biden had him dead to rights for four long years and never pulled the trigger.

He looks old, because he's old. Dealing with a country and wife that hates you is tiring.

Whoever taught him the word “seditious” needs to be smacked. He’s calling everything seditious now.

When Trump was tried for Seditious Conspiracy, he learned his first new word in a while.

Looks like he's learned two new words, his mind is clearly fine.

He also learned a poor people word - "groceries". Apparently he never realized that was a thing and is still somewhat perplexed by the idea.

15

I'm sure that being the dumbass narcissist he is, he probably thinks he invented the word, just like he thinks he came up with the word "fake".

Yeah, he is like a toddler that learns new words and keeps using it them over and over until they get bored.

13

In the process, he provides some truly hilarious ( unintentionally, of course, and his idiotic marks don't seem to understand just how stupid their hero is) moments by going on to explain these things to others as if they are children and he's some brilliant teacher, and all because dumbass just learned something 15 minutes ago.

Poor bastard will try everything to stave off the inevitable until one day the tug on his mortal coil becomes too great and Death himself drags his wretched, calloused soul into eternal oblivion.

Is it seditious, perhaps even treasonous, to wish the painful, humiliating death of a traitor?

He can go fuck himself to hell. This is a free country with free speech and there isnt a damn thing he can do about it.

17

They’re gonna fucking “weekend at Bernie’s” him as long as possible.

The gall of this guy. Go fuck yourself, Pedonald. You are not a king.

To quote you:

QUIET! QUIET, PIGGY!

13

Saggy, overweight, herpe infested traitor accuses others of treason.

Go fuck yourself, you fat orange fuck.

12

Everything is treason to him except his own selling out of his country to a hostile power.

By repeating those words, they're trying to dilute the meaning of them so that previois (and probably future) accusations against them lose some of their weight and importance. If everything is sedition and treason, then nothing is.

11

I predicted that they will start arresting journalists this year but I didn't realize how weak the entire media in US is. They didn't have to lock anyone up because all the news is controlled by corporations anyway.

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so frightening. He wants to make it a criminal offense, punishable by execution, to say anything that makes him look bad

Oh, the orange snowflake can't stand people discussing his (lack of) ability to do his job? Maybe he should resign then...
