Protecting women

We must hope he is soon put behind bars, before he can do more damage. That's where a sleezy criminal and rapist like him belongs!

Good news, Maria, Trump did not "threaten to put Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad"! His imagined scenario was that Liz (with a rifle in her hand- which wouldn't be the case if she were being executed) would have to go to war herself, rather than just sending American soldiers to die in foreign conflicts. This used to be a common Democrat talking point- warmonger politicians with no skin in the game being cavalier with American lives.

Everyone knows I'm not a huge Trump fan but the lies and twisting of what he actually says by mainstream media are beyond ridiculous. Even CNN ended up apologizing for this one.

Good morning, Maria

Donald Trump says things in a way that are undoubtedly cringeworthy, and he does so to his own detriment. When a statement a little less bombastic might help him advance a position on policy, all we remember is the bombast.

I appreciate everyone who takes the time to submit an LTE, but can you explain why you believe Donald Trump threatened “to put Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad”? Where did you hear this?

Donald Trump called Liz Cheney a deranged person and radical war hawk before saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Okay? 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.’” MichKosk is correct… that doesn’t sound anything like a firing squad.

Bill Maher… who absolutely opposes all things Trump made several comments about Trump’s remarks concerning Liz Cheney on his show “Real Time” last Friday. They included, "I woke up today to the headline that Trump had called for a firing squad for Liz Cheney. And this is what I really don't like about the media. No, he didn't… Just don't lie to me. I don't like Donald Trump. Don't lie to me and tell me he wants her in front of a firing squad.”

No one is going put an M4 rifle in Liz Cheney’s hands and insert her into battle. You know who else will not be toting an M4 around the battlefield? Tim Walz.

Why does the SMDJ Editors print an LTE which is 100% blatantly false, misleading and taken out of context? Jon? And please answer in front of everyone.

Is there any other way to interpret what Trump said about Liz Cheney?

"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."

All - let's just pray that folks like Maria are not allowed to vote.

My congratulations to the conservative side, even though I am sorely disappointed in the outcome. Clearly, inflation and the mess at the southern border overrode Trump’s character concerns in the minds of the majority of voters, and now we will find out if they were correct in that judgment.

As I mentioned several times earlier, I was worried that Kamala Harris was a weak candidate for the Democrats, and the election results quickly bore this out. We have now seen the results of both Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Joe Biden holding on too long to office, and I hope that Donald Trump does not give us a third example. Biden should have bowed out after one term and allowed the Democrats to have a contested primary.

This campaign has been consumed with over-the-top rhetoric, but now we will have to wait and see how extreme Trump gets with his actual actions. As he said at his victory speech last night, his motto will be “Promises made, promises kept.”

TRUMP WON! I am tired of waiting for the SMDJ to make this monumental moment a headline. BTW, rumor has it the democrat party now want to abolish the "popular vote." Did anyone catch teary eyed Nancy Pelosi : )
