This headline might as well be from before the 2016 election. What does New Republic think he meant by "lock her up" anyway? Media outlets really need to drop the "😱😱😱 we can't believe Trump said the same stuff he's been saying for years 😱😱😱" act.

"Goes FULL DERANGED - says the same thing he's been saying every week for the last 432 weeks"
Hey, those ratings don't generate themselves!
IKR? At this rate I think the media is deliberately doing this to get a reaction from his base and reelect him. Why? Because he's the best thing to ever happen to their ratings. Not even the hysteria surrounding mass shootings has that kind of staying power. Never mind he lives rent-free in the heads of his detractors, of which there are so many.
(Nope, not AI-generated: flesh-and-blood human. 45+2=47.)
Donald Trump went over the edge over the weekend and began calling for his detractors to be prosecuted or even put to death.
“They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason,’” he wrote on Truth Social Sunday night.
“I say up front, openly, and proudly, that when I WIN the Presidency of the United States … the LameStream Media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events,” he said. “They are a true threat to Democracy and are, in fact, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! The Fake News Media should pay a big price for what they have done to our once great Country!”
Trump’s threat to the news media was actually his second attempt to menace detractors this past weekend alone. On Friday, he slammed Mark Milley, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, suggesting that perhaps he also committed treason.
“This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States,” Trump said on Truth Social. “This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!”
Donald Trump is a danger to society. If you haven’t already, join your city/county’s Democratic club/caucus and organize locally to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2024.
I don't understand why so many people can't see the horrifying parallels between trumps "fake news" and hitlers "lügenpresse"
Coincidentally Russia and Putin use the same term and give the same story as Trump and Republicans about anything that reflects poorly on them… anything they don’t like is wholesale made up, and it’s all a conspiracy by their enemies and the media and actually their opponents are the ones guilty of whatever it is.
It's wild how many people just completely forgot or never believed Trump was owned by Putin.
Putin undoubtedly has dirt on a ton of GOP members, remember how quickly Rudy was going to take his pants off for Borats daughter while a camera was in the same room? Imagine what these fucks get up to when nobody is watching. The RNC was hacked too, not a peep was ever revealed.
These are dangerous times, those on the left need to mobilize in case the worst happens, even if Trump loses these people aren't going away willingly.
The media overhyped then under-reported on the Mueller investigation. Basically Mueller concluded that there was so much obstruction that he wasn't able to make any determinations. Trump et al. were allowed to broadcast that meant he was 'exonerated' and Mueller found nothing, which isn't precisely what happened.
Also, there have been very interesting events like the contingent of GOP congress members visiting Moscow on the 4th of July, Russians visiting the White House and Trump refusing to ever release and/or destroying the translation log, Rand Paul hand-delivering a letter from Trump to Putin, and of course, how some GOP politicians as well as people like Tucker Carlson inexplicably chose to side with Russia against NATO in the Ukrainian conflict.
You mean the 4th of July visit where Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson visited Moscow instead of spending that time with his constituents? That trip no one ever seems to challenge him, or what his business was there?
That trip on the 4th of July?
Fuck Ron Johnson...
(I have feelings about this, and anyone of my fellow Wisconsinites that continue to support that fucking compromised hack)
Why aren't more people talking about this
Nope.
“Goes” full deranged? Where have these people been for the last seven years?
He has lost it.
This implies that he was coherent at some point.
100% the guy has dementia. I noticed a lot about him that falls into dementia symptoms back in 2016 before the election.
freedoms just another word for...
folks just in case this is sic /s its a joke on the song and what he has lost but if I just leave it at the joke someone is going to think I mean trump means freedom or some other idiotic thing. So ugh. hope your happy. joke spoiled. this is not an edit btw im pre spoiling.
By saying these serious words in such a trivial way, it robs them of their weight. It is an attempt to frame it as politically motivated instead of what it is.... a big fucking deal.
Impeachment? Treason? Sexual misconduct ? These are not words that mean "I dont like that person", but here they are delegitimizing these words by screaming "No you are"
Disgusting
