Dude needs to stand before a firing line, not go to jail.
That's a lil extreme my guy
Edit: what fuckin world do we live in, where someone says that a politician needs to be shot to death, and the controversial opinion is to not shoot someone? Am I crazy for thinking that killing trump wouldn't solve anything? We shouldn't give people a martyr. The best way to get rid of someone is by shaming them and forgetting them.
To respond to your edit:
Death as a punishment for treason would do a lot to stem the tide of treasonous fucks that are currently holding high positions in our political system.
The time for leniency is OVER. And making a martyr out of a huge sack of shit is just fine- let more of those fucks step out of line and see what happens.
Do you really think that's how it'd go down? You might want to rethink that one.
I’ve rethought it- and yea, that’s how it would go down.
Oh, so you're not just in a bad mood or something, you're just stupid.
Not so stupid that I’d think that doing next to nothing is the proper way to deal with traitors to our country.
It’s even in built into our laws that death be a possible punishment.
But noooooo, better he remain in jail where he can continue to rile up his army of dipshits and continue destroying this country.
And yes, jailing him still entitles him to martyrdom. At least if the fat fuck were bleeding out in the dirt- he’d shut the fuck up for a change.
If such was legal and in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America, the military would stand ready to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and obey the orders of those appointed them. Our officers stand ready and willing to defend the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Domestic terrorists are terrorists, and there's nothing we like better than to hunt terrorists and put warheads on foreheads.
Yeah, good luck getting a court to convict that. There are multiple lawsuits. None of them are considering anything with the death penalty, nor should it. There is no legal precedence for it.
Convicting Trump of the death penalty is more likely to result in a 2nd civil war than it is to make people fall in line. We tried bombing the taliban into falling in line for 20 years. How'd that go?
We'll March to the Sea again - and back, and forth, and back, and forth, as long as it takes. We did it once, we can do it again.
