Summary
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced her office is examining whether Donald Trump’s recent remarks about former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, made during an event with Tucker Carlson, could qualify as a death threat under Arizona law. Trump suggested that Cheney might reconsider her “war hawk” stance if guns were “trained on her face," prompting Mayes to instruct her criminal division to investigate.
Vice President Kamala Harris condemned Trump’s rhetoric, calling it “disqualifying” and warning of his “increasingly unstable and unhinged” behavior.
Liz Cheney had an insanely high percentage of voting with Trump on legislation. Like 95%+. Way way higher than Elise Stefanik, who took her place in house leadership, because Stefanik was loyal on election denial.
It is insane that anyone is fighting over Cheney vs Trump. None of them are good for America.
You don’t actually think this will finally be the time he suffers actual legal consequences, do you? He’s the greasiest mf in America.
Merrick Garland: “Wait, they can do that?”
The actual transcript:
But [Dick Cheney’s] daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb. She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face, you know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, oh, gee. Well, let’s send, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy, but she’s a stupid person. And I used to have, I have meetings with a lot of people, and she always wanted to go to war with people.
I’m no fan of Trump but this is unambiguously not a threat. The clear meaning is that she would would change her mind if she was one of the soldiers who would be fighting a war that she supports, not that Trump would threaten her with a gun until she changed her mind.
Just look at that word salad. I bet getting dressed is a real struggle for him
"It’s easy for her to talk, sitting far from where the death scenes take place, but put a gun in her hand, and let her go fight, and she’ll say, ‘No thanks!’” This from a guy who discusses deploying troops in America against Americans, yet dodged the Vietnam draft with fake medical issues.
I’m too exhausted with this asshole to make a joke about bone spurs.
Can Netflix or whoever cancel America already? It’s getting too fucking repetitive.
Thank fucking Christ he’s old and will be dead soon. That’s all I’m holding onto right now.
Did you imagine what could be the country with JD Vance as president if Trump die of old (or fat) age?
I find this even more disturbing than Trump being president.
That is precisely the plan. Vance is a comparatively stable predictable tool. No way he can win re-election on his own, but that won’t be necessary after he has a year or two in the white house.
Yes, but this election will determine whether he dies while on the White house toilet or a prison toilet.
Lock. Him. Up.
