    Trump Floats Execution for his Opponents
    Of course, he'll deny the connection all night long, but here's what this pig said this week.

    For people who leak info from his unholy circle - Trump suggests the way to handle them is how it was done in the past for treason. In other words, EXECUTION!

    Trump accused Congressman Adam Schiff of treason. What other conclusion can there be except that Trump is suggesting Schiff be EXECUTED! This is a dog whistle to some right-wing crazy out there.

    The whistleblower is being protected by the Witness Protection Program. Immediately upon learning this, Trump demanded his right to face his accuser. Of course, he has no desire to face his accuser. His true agenda is to expose the whistleblower so some nut can do his dirty work for him.

    Connect the dots.

    Athos: I don't know your stance around Capital Punishment, you may be for it or against it, but certainly when you do betray your country, that is grounds for capital punishment. One of the big problems today, in a lot of areas, is that there is little to no repercussions for wrongdoers, particularly in government works. Not every wrongdoing is a crime that warrants" the death penalty, obviously, but, certainly, there should be more severe punishments handed out.

    Where I come from and how I was raised, the conscious practice of lying would get you a severe whipping. Today, lying has almost become and accepted practice, and that is scary. People in general, and people in government, especially, lie with impunity, with absolute no fear of any sort of punishment for lying. In this particular case, I am not for the killing of Schiff, he's just a guy who will do anything to get on camera, and he's hasn't committed any crime, whatsoever, that I know about. However, this "whistleblower", if it is proven that his information is erroneous or that those who fed him the information were lying, they should receive some kind of punishment and jail terms just to stop these kind of frivolous exercises.....people have to know that they cannot lie and get away with it, at least sometimes.

    W.G.: I would prefer ALL THE TIME in terms of punishment for lying.....but at the poor rate we are going these days, I may have to accept the constellation prize of "sometimes"....something is better than nothing!

    W.G.: He is the POTUS....that makes him different. We (us serfs out here in the real world) are protected from a lot of dangers by those above us and some of this protection arises in that we DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY.....I often wonder if we knew as much as we claim we want to know, would we really want to know it, after all. In some areas, ignorance is bliss.

    Treason is disloyalty, some want a narrow definition, but in the past treason was disloyalty to the leader

    V7 - The point is not about capital punishment. It's about a president of the United States floating execution ideas because he wants to get rid of his political opponent.

    And;

    Your view of POTUS is pathetic at best. You just don't get it. He's under the same laws as you and me. I guess you need to hear this more than once. You should have learned it as a child.

    Athos: The POZTUS is treated differently than you or I, and not just this POTUS: For example, if YOU and the POTUS arrived at a given hotel at the same time, without reservations, and they had one room left, do you have a chance in hell of securing the room? WE/US/serfs are not on the same level as POTUS and the laws do not act upon the same, either....words and actions are way different.

    Here's one I missed.

    Trump wants his opponent Senator Biden to get the electric chair because of some nutty idea in Trump's so-called mind.

    No, I didn't make that up.
