President Donald Trump is calling for Democrats to be jailed, ordering the Justice Department to investigate lawmakers who have dared to threaten to hold him and his goons accountable.

The 80-year-old president cast his demand for Democrats’ imprisonment as a response to their threats to investigate members of his administration, particularly Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer.

The mad king’s calling for the arrest and imprisonment of political enemies for merely being political opponents is one of the nails in the coffin of a dying empire. Add this on top of J6 too.

      They’ve also spent the last year putting the military into a pointless, poorly led war. I’d be surprised if the rank and file agrees to attack their own country.

        There are commanders below generals, and below colonels. Hegseth answering these questions in impeachment hearings is not what he needed.
