Nobody , in Trump again vows to be a day-one ‘dictator’ in Iowa town hall

[Trump] recently suggested that he would order the arrest and prosecution of Mr Biden and other top Democrats, also told the assembled Iowa voters that he’d assemble a “deportation force” to remove more than 7,000,000 migrants from the country without due process.

I'm getting nostalgic for the days when all he thought he could get away with was shooting a guy on Fifth Avenue.

Is there a certain point where someone is belligerent enough to be required to have their vocal cords surgically removed? Because if there is, Donald Trump has to be getting close.

Lip service.

He can call on corporations all he wants, they are going to keep raking us over the coals.

I personally don't believe Donald Trump should be the next president.

However, is anybody concerned that the existing government is telling you who you cannot vote for?

This seems like it could lead to problems down the road.

Captainvaqina ,

Nah. Because the constitution says a traitorous insurrectionist doesn't belong in government. I agree with the constitution 100%

nucleative ,

I agree it's probably true, but he hasn't been convinced of insurrection (yet), has he? The sixth amendment to the Constitution guarantees a fair trial, no?

So the sitting government decided their opponent is guilty of "The act or an instance of open revolt against civil authority or a constituted government", and then told you and everyone else you're not allowed to vote for him. Could that not be applied to all opposition?

That's not concerning? What if it's switched next time?

Captainvaqina ,

The 14th does NOT say ANYWHERE that the traitor has to be convicted.

We all saw it live, the desecration of the very core of American values. We the people do not accept traitors in our government.

I know you think you're slick "arguing" in bad faith. We see right through your sad tricks.

Also, lemme know next time a democratic politician tries to overthrow democracy. I'll apply the same rules to them instantly.
