Trump calls for Democratic lawmakers to face trial for ‘seditious behavior’
Trump calls for Democratic lawmakers to face trial for ‘seditious behavior’
President Donald Trump on Thursday called for six Democratic lawmakers to face arrest and trial after they made a video encouraging U.S. service members and members of the intelligence community to refrain from following orders if they broke the law. “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL,” Trump charged in a post on Truth Social. “Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand - We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET.” The president then reposted 16 Truth Social posts, including one that advocated for hanging the Democrats, like “GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD.” “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” he later wrote. Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), as well as Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Penn.), Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Penn.) were featured in the Tuesday video. They are all either military veterans or worked in national security-focused roles before taking office. “We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now,” they said. “Americans trust their military. But that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear, you can refuse illegal orders.” As part of a stated push to crack down on street crime and bolster deportations, Trump has federalized National Guard troops in American cities, including Washington, Chicago and Portland. Democratic officials have argued the president’s deployments constitute an illegal overreach of federal power and have sued to stop them. None of the Democrats in the video immediately responded to a request for comment regarding Trump’s threats. But Trump continued to stew over the video Thursday. “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country,” he wrote later. “Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???”

According to Lincoln, the Civil War became a battle over whether the principles stated in the Declaration of Independence - and on which the Revolutionary War was fought - would actually be realized. We are now in the midst of a similar conflict, which Trumpers openly long to turn into another war.

Gun violence against the transgender community and broader LGBTQ+ community is rampant. We cannot accept these attacks as the status quo, including by lawmakers who create policies that reject and endanger trans lives. #TDOR
Today on #TransDayOfRemembrance, we are holding in our hearts the transgender and gender-expansive people who have been killed in the US in the last year—most of them with guns.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Which is worse? A known misogynist calling a woman “piggy” or NONE of her colleagues challenging him in the spot?
Trump humiliates female reporter as she dares ask about his Epstein connections, calling her “piggy” & wagging his finger to silence her. If being questioned results in this disgusting behavior - you can just imagine what he's hiding. I'm with MTG: "I only take people's actions seriously"

Beyond that, it shows unprecedented and spectacular spinelessness to obfuscate the murder by a foreign power of a journalist who worked in your country, in your capital, for a newspaper associated with news about your government. (2/2)

Unprincipled and weak. The murder of journalists is perhaps the single most direct violation of the right to freedom of speech. (1/2)
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
