    I’m very much looking forward to Miller’s trial in 2028 if Trump dies or doesn’t manage to cancel the elections.

      Thats very optimistic that trials will be short enough that right wing media won’t manage to successfully pin blame for trumps failed policies on whoever comes next.

      Also assuming trump doesn’t blanket pardon everyone involved.

      If democrats win they need sweeping corporate reforms especially in media ownership and I doubt any of the current candidates will do anything but kick that can down the road.

    “The issue before us now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country,” he claimed. “It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general.”

    With absolutely zero evidence in favor, and mountains of evidence in contra, this is just nazi style propaganda. Don’t believe your eyes and ears, believe the party before anything else, and be afraid, the enemy is everywhere!

    Contempt charges would be an appropriate response. Throw him in the slammer and don’t let him out until he takes it all back and gives the judge a grovelling apology.

    I’d give him about 2 days behind bars before he crumbles.

      If we had things like the Nuremberg trials, over 99% of perpetrators would get off scott-free, including much of the upper level leadership.

      You know, just in case you believed the world has a history of dealing out an appropriate level of justice for atrocities committed by people in power; because it absolutely fucking doesn’t and never did.

    Bullshit.

    "It is well organized and funded.

    More bullshit

    And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general."

    Lies, and more lies.

     

    Not a single honest sentence in his entire statement.

      I’m gonna take a guess maybe that your comment whooshed over everyone’s heads, and you meant that he’d get therapy and community service because we became a civilized and humane society, and their violent hateful faction was no more.

      Am I way off or is that kinda what you were going for? Because I dunno in a way it sounded wholesome. Envisioning a world so much better that we can hope to mercifully rehabilitate these monsters because their venom ceased to be a threat.

      I want to see that world, too…

      …rather than the world where they get to do what they dream of doing to us.

        The United States is a fascist police state and always has been. The people in the replies below are fine with that as long as they get to pick who the government mistreats.

        The problem with that is that someday the “wrong” person will be back in charge, and they get to use all the power of the authoritarian state. The only thing to do is to take the power to kill people away from the government entirely.

          Some people are too evil to allow their continued existence. Miller is one such person. He will likely spew hatred until the day he dies, voluntarily or not.

          Genuine question: What would you do with Miller?

            I believe in restorative justice. The idea is that criminals should try to restore the wrong that they’ve done.

            I don’t pretend to have all the answers. Maybe some people are incorrigible. But people saying to “Put a bullet in his head” are working from the same fascist playbook as he is, and that won’t solve anything.

      I know some would like to see something like the firing squad for a traitorous piece of shit like this guy, but I would so much more love to see him wearing a jumpsuit and having to pick up trash by the highway, for many, many years.

      With everyone in the press given information about where he will be next picking up trash for all the photo-ops for it.

      Same with so many of these pieces of shit. I wish there was a way to nullify any “pardons” from the skid mark in the WH and get J6 terrorists back into the prison system. Having them pick up trash with similar prominent coverage would be fantastic…

        I wish there was a way to nullify any “pardons” from the skid mark in the WH and get J6 terrorists back into the prison system.

        The system is so fucked now that the only solution is to turn it off, clean it up, then reboot. So declare a state of emergency, suspending some provisions of the Constitution as happened during the Civil War. During the state of emergency, do the following:

        Summary justice for every high-level Trump appointee, and a lifetime ban from any political, judicial or corporate office for those found guilty of crimes against humanity or undermining the rule of law

        Removal of all Trump appointees from office

        Asset forfeiture for all the funders and planners of Project 2025

        Asset forfeiture for all social-media platform owners who undermined US democracy

        Rescinding of all Trump executive orders

        Nullification of all Supreme Court decisions made during Trump’s terms in office

        Revocation of all Trump executive pardons

        Banning of any non-profit that served as a front for foreign or oligarch influence

        …then new elections and we start again.

      One of the foundational inspirations for modern white supremacists/right wingers is the book the Turner Diaries in which there is a day, the ‘Day of the Rope’, where the right wing has an outpouring of massacres against leftists, afterwards cementing their hold on the US as a fascist ethno-state. Several anti-government/racist terror attacks have explicitly had the goal of starting this.

      The Trump administration is doing everything they can do inspire this, or to inspire a mass antifascist uprising so they can imprison their opposition. I believe they would fail at crushing a wide-spread insurgency though because most people don’t actually like Nazis, and average people are getting tired of this shit.
