Over 200 insurrectionists and rioters said they were answering Trump's "marching orders" on Jan. 6 to overthrow the government. When Trump incites violence against opponents, he knows exactly what he's doing and his followers understand him clearly.

It's so lovely to see Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince's bromance had such an effect on Trump as to bring out more of his murderous tyrant have-opponents-assassinated side.

If Trump didn't want Dem opponents to die, he wouldn't be calling for them to be hung or to be made an example of, especially after hosting a dinner for a tyrant who had an opponent brutally assassinated.

If the pro-life and anti-Christian persecution groups truly believe in their causes, why are they quiet about the president hosting a tyrant at the White House who had a man brutally assassinated and dismembered and who is part of a regime that persecutes Christians?

Can we get some Wikileaks or Anonymous to release the Epstein files? Or better yet, anyone credible with a shred of decency?

Disobeying illegal orders cannot be sedition. The Uniform Code of Military Justice, article 92, requires service members to follow LAWFUL orders. If an order is illegal, they have a duty to DISOBEY. Obeying an illegal order can result in criminal liability.

Trump companies destroyed documents against court orders. Trump flushed documents at the White House. Trump is a criminal who thinks he is above the law. Even if they release the Epstein files, it's likely the most damning evidence will have been destroyed.

After doing everything they could to block release of the Epstein files, Republicans don't suddenly get to claim to value justice or accountability just because Trump wants to engineer a thin patina of false innocence. We know what's going on, we're keeping score, and we won't forget.

Trump has already been impeached twice. He's already a convicted felon and known rapist. With the denialist power of Trump's cult of personality, I think they could find that Trump was right there with Epstein, doing everything he did, and it wouldn't make a difference to his followers.

I have zero doubt that if Trump could get away with ordering the assassination of his Democratic opponents, he would. Instead, he's trying to get his followers to do it for him. Sick.

Trump tips his hand in claiming that encouraging service members to disobey illegal orders is "seditious." It implicitly reveals he is knowingly and intentionally committing crimes and shows he intends to commit more crimes.

Trump's claim that encouraging service members to disobey illegal orders is seditious is less an American legal reality than it is the political ideology of despotic medieval kings bent on absolute power.

Dems shouldn't have to encourage service people to disobey criminal orders. Criminal orders shouldn't be being issued in the first place.

Trump, who is himself guilty of treason and sedition many times over, is again inciting violence, murder, and assassinations by calling for Dem leaders to "hang" and that "an example must be set" for their urging service members to disobey his illegal orders.

Trump's incitements of violence already led to a violent insurrection, the assassinations of Rep. Melissa Hortman and family, Charlie Kirk, and two attempts on himself.

Do not be surprised if another Trump supporter tries to off him or his people again following his latest incitement of murder, violence, and political assassinations--or for Trump and his people to again scapegoat Dems for their violent rhetoric.

Trump claims that Dems engaged in "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!", but Trump is the real culprit. The House Jan. 6 Committee found that Trump incited the Jan. 6 insurrection and made criminal referrals to the DOJ for four counts against Trump.
