    Well obviously I think people shouldn't be talking about certain other people being "executed" but if you compare the relative positions of someone like Paladino to someone like Michael Hayden...

    Sounds about Right’: Ex-CIA Chief Michael Hayden Implies Trump Should Be Executed for Taking Classified Docs



    The right is aggrieved because they feel like they are being unfairly targeted, and think Trump is being unfairly targeted, but what's the left's excuse? They are in charge, have all the power, and run all the institutions, so someone like the former head of both the CIA and NSA can flippantly suggest that Trump be executed...

    People should cool down obviously, but it's people on both sides.

    Why would any true American vote for someone whose stated goal was to hurt other law biding Americans?
    I would consider retrbution a partisan abuse of authority.

    Treason if he sold nuclear secrets to one of our rivals/enemies, in theory. Not saying he did. Most likely those nuclear docs were just sitting there for him to impress his guests. For Garland, I would guess that anybody who suggests execution without something involving a dead body would have to be talking about treason.

    The republican party is becoming the terrorist party.

    That would be one reason. Could it be called treason when a person interferes with the process of an election? It ursurps the democratic process of our country.

    They know that's the only way they'll get elected. They would NEVER get elected if they say they're going to actually do something for we the people.

    None......

    but the MAGA mob makes up spin, disinformation and lies against anyone they think is offending their "dear leader"

    Just like DT.......they have REVENGE as their focus............not policies or behavior that would help move the country forward. In fact they are moving it backwards.

    It is hard to believe that folks would actually vote in the election denies a s they have done recently

    and yet........ it demonstrates how much power DT has over them............It almost feels like all the pawns are being put in place ......before the "KING" takes over.

    I'm going to just go ahead and call it right now, but I think those "nuclear" documents are another fake story. It was based on anonymous sources (again) in the Washington Post. It may take a while to get the truth of it, but I think that's what we'll eventually find out. Or at least that's my prediction.

    Indeed. Not sure one can call them the Rep Party anymore.........as they have become some perverse hybrid of same. that hardly resembles the traditional GOP. No longer the party of Law and order..........but one of aggression, lies, and violence.............where power is everything.......... almost at any cost ..

    Tell me about it! I used to be a Republican. They are unrecognizable as a party, and dangerous. They are just a mob now.

    That is how I view them now A MOB. using Mafia style tactics......... of unconditional loyalty to their leader, and reactive threats , when offended, and focusing on revenge for persevered insults. Defending their "leader" by attacking the legal system and those that work hard in it. They are no longer a party of values, integrity and reason.

    revenge,,, verbal or physical..........is a key Mafia creed........as is their leader's.

    There is no reason or logic to them anymore.

    Where did I say "law [a]biding"?

    You must really be pissed off that the Democrats, if you are that opposed to political retribution.

    Agovernment baised on political retrbution is neither a republic nor a democracy.
    I want to know what each party is going to do to help make this a better country, not what each party is going to do to each other.
    Country over party.

    One major debate tool often used by conservatives is "whatabout". ( what about the riots, what about the murders in Chicag, what about Hunter Biden)
    Is "whatabout" not available to others when discussing?

    Does this mean I can't duscuss this any more?

    Whataboutisms are legitimate tactics of debate; when it's related to the discussion. Asking me a question which I can't answer without any context is merely a deflection.

    By that measure Democrats have done little to make this country better in the last fifty years.

    You must be mad as hell at the Democrats right about now, then.

    It isn't the government's job to make this a better country. It's the government's job to operate within the boundaries of the Constitution and represent the will of the people, in accordance with the law of the land.

    But that is exactly what the January sixth crap is including the invasion of Trump's living quarters while he wasn't there.

    Actually, they spend a lot of time talking about securing the border, refunding the police and purging the schools of the wokesters.

    But leftists don't seem very attached to what's going on in the world.

    Its astounding, really, considering the lengths to which Barr would go to for 'his boss'.
