Candidate Bone Spurs threatens Liz Cheney with a firing squad
In the context of calling Liz Cheney a “war hawk,” Trump says she should be given “a rifle” and face what amounts to a firing squad of “nine barrels.”
Let’s get something straight. This man has no idea what he’s talking about. As a draft dodger, Donald Trump successfully escaped being trained to use a military rifle. He wouldn’t know what to do with a rifle if you handed it to him. Ironically, Liz Cheney probably does.
In the closing days of this campaign, Trump is defaulting to threats of violence and arrest. In a post on his social media account, Trump threatened to arrest, “Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
The New York Times reported this week that Trump’s threats against election officials appear to be having some effect. In an article entitled The Army of Election Officials Ready to Reject the Vote, the Times describes efforts in Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania by election boards to reject certification of the vote if the election does not go Trump’s way. The people described in the article are partisan Republicans. When even they fear arrest and prosecution by their own candidate, something is seriously wrong in this country.
NPR reported this morning that “Military experts are preparing for possible election violence or unrest.” Earlier in the week, NPR reported that local police are “preparing for possible violence against election workers.”
The front line in the election for Liz Cheney is her own home in Wyoming. The front lines for election workers are the polling places where they will go to work next Tuesday. The idea of “battleground states” has become a reality, where armed police officers may be necessary to secure the Constitutional right to vote. One political party and one presidential candidate are responsible for turning this election into a warzone.
I believe Trumps threats directed at Liz Cheney may be a violation of his bail conditions of his NYC criminal case. If it is he should be held accountable and returned to court for admonishment and possible remand.
The New America. All of our voters watched while Trump assembled the mob, sent them to the Capital, watched and did nothing as they smashed their way in to the building, threatening the lives of Pence and others. And half of those voters are willing to put the traitor to America back in office.
His promises of what he will do have become that of a killer thug dictator, not a citizen of a democracy. And still half of our voters will look the other way so that they might get some BS "thing" they desire. OMG. The New America. I hope and pray the women of our nation will deliver us from this ugliness. Evidently the white uneducated male will not. Sad.
