I’m not really sure what a modern civil war would even look like.I personally believe that doing this would lead pretty directly to civil war.
To be fair since you mention CNN, Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper have been really tough on Trump lately imo. Really calling him out.I agree with Indoor66, suggesting that Liz Cheney be executed is not really what he was saying. However, it is the usual M.O. of Trump to suggest violence in proximity to those that disagree and or oppose him. This isn't anything new at all.
I think what has me most burned about that clip is that you see a montage of violent rhetoric coming from him over the years. However, during this entire release cycle CNN, and most of the media mainstream, has been treating Trump like a totally normal political candidate.
Is there a way to read Trump’s reference to “nine barrels shooting at her” as something other than a firing squad?You might want to listen to the clip again. That's not what he said.
Thank you. On her face. War zones do not have one person opposing nine. At least not for long.Is there a way to read Trump’s reference to “nine barrels shooting at her” as something other than a firing squad?
Yes, they certainly have. I totally agree they have been calling out the overt behavior - recently. But again, none of this has been new. It's been the same rhetoric for the past 8+ years.To be fair since you mention CNN, Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper have been really tough on Trump lately imo. Really calling him out.
On a side note Andersons take on Vance’s ‘normal’ gay guy comment was pretty funny.
That's right. This is saying put her on the front lines with a rifle and see how she responds. It's not saying that she should be executed by firing squad. We don't allow people getting executed by firing squad to also have a rifle to defend themselves. As an aside, if I'm out manned 9 to 1 I'm probably going to surrender. Unless I have an aversion to being taken captive. But I think I have more of an aversion to being shot. That is subject to change.He's suggesting she go to the front lines of any war zone with a rifle and then she'd be less of a war hawk. This article is a bit better and provides more context. If CNN portrayed it as a call for execution by firing squad, they dropped the ball.

Harris assails Trump for saying Liz Cheney should have rifles 'shooting at her'
Donald Trump suggested that former Rep. Liz Cheney should have rifles “shooting at her” to see how she feels about sending troops to fight.apnews.com
Me personally I'm probably going to make sure I secure Starbucks in my local neighborhood. Establish that as a base of operations and defend it to the death. But I was that the Battle of bowling green, so I recognize what kind of Hell War actually is.I’m not really sure what a modern civil war would even look like.
Early vote totals are not predictive of any particular election outcome.Some hopeful news for the Harris camp.
There has been so much *stuff* that has fallen down the memory hole...Me personally I'm probably going to make sure I secure Starbucks in my local neighborhood. Establish that as a base of operations and defend it to the death. But I was that the Battle of bowling green, so I recognize what kind of Hell War actually is.
Fortunately, I don't either. I'd just as soon keep it that way. But my statement still stands. People won't get sufficiently agitated about most things, but effectively being deprived of all semblance of democracy? Yeah, I think that would do it.I’m not really sure what a modern civil war would even look like.
I would honestly rather Trump win the election outright than Harris get enough votes to win only for the states GOP party to not certify their votes, or delay sending electors, anything where they are transparently trying to steal the election. To me, that would constitute an insurrection and probably justify Biden using emergency powers.I personally believe that doing this would lead pretty directly to civil war.
Priorities, am i right?Me personally I'm probably going to make sure I secure Starbucks in my local neighborhood. Establish that as a base of operations and defend it to the death.
Alright, alright, guilty as charged! Replace with "the AG and FBI could probably intervene to de-escalate."I feel like there is a good but of snark and some fairly wild conspiracy theory kinda stuff happening in this new thread and I would like us to tamp down on that a bit, especially the snark.
Analysis, not opinion. "Merrick Garland could awaken from his stupor" is opinion. Jokes about Trump riding around in garbage trucks is snark we don't need. There is plenty more.
Help me out here, people... please.
Well, here’s a bit of what he said in NM:Hmmmm. Why on earth would trump spend his final days in NM and VA?
