Trump Calls For Imprisoning Biden, Harris, McConnell, Pence, Schumer, Pelosi: “They Should All Go To Jail”

This is who tRump is, a vindictive kid with a lot of authority who only wants his way, never be corrected, allowed to do anything he wants, be a king, be worshiped and idolized, and punish anyone who displeases him.   And the right wing republican Ideologues on the SCOTUS just gave him immunity for doing any of it.  We simply must not let him become president.  Hugs.  Scottie

The New York Times reports:

Former President Donald J. Trump has escalated his vows to prosecute his political opponents, circulating posts on his social media website invoking “televised military tribunals” and calling for the jailing of President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer and former Vice President Mike Pence, among other high-profile politicians.

A separate post included photos of 15 former and current elected officials that said, in all-capital letters, “they should be going to jail on Monday not Steve Bannon!” Those officials included Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, Mr. Pence, Mr. Schumer and Mr. McConnell — the top leaders in the Senate — and Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker.
