    So let me get his straight. Trumps lawyers are trying to legalize Biden killing Trump? So even his own lawyers prefer him to die instead of becoming president again.

      I saw a post elsewhere about this suggesting that Biden send SEAL teams to camp out on the steps of the courthouse where Trump is on trial in NYC, the steps of the Supreme Court, etc. Don’t give them any orders beyond them being stationed there.

      If SCOTUS says it’s ok then Biden just orders the SEALs to immediately take out Trump, the SCOTUS justices (well, we know which ones, specifically). Etc.

        It would be red meat for conservatives, to be sure. But also, consider the politics of your average Navy Seal…

          The Navy in particular tends to lean left. Not all of them obviously, but I knew some pretty left leaning SEALs when I was a Nuke.

            Left relative to other military branches. But when you stack that up against the Fundie Death Cult that is the Air Force and the Hillbilly Hoosegow that is the Marines, that’s a low bar.

      Trump’s lawyers are trying to delay his other trials. Create BS arguments that require a ruling before his other trials can proceed, elevate it to Supreme Court, run out the clock, hope he gets elected before other cases find him guilty.

    Can’t someone just take one for the team and assassinate him? Like, I think he deserves worse than a quick or even a slow death, but at this point it seems like a totally acceptable option.

      Long term thinking does not lead me to recommend martyrdom for Trump. He has earned more than enough of my enmity for it to feel right, but it’s more important to destroy his movement at this point. The Union has to stop “losing the peace” to finally put this festering insurgency to rest.

        I think the idea is that when their leader is gone, they’ll scurry back to their sewers. Which is likely given they’re weak as f…k

          It is hilarious to see you try to take the moral high ground on anyone. You can not begin to grasp what moral behavior is.
