And will she be the first of many?
At three o’clock in the morning, most sane people are sleeping, but not Donald Trump. The pathological narcissist cannot forget that someone would dare criticize him or attempt to hold him accountable for the crimes he has committed. It was at this time, in the middle of the night, that Trump chose to threaten Liz Cheney for her part in uncovering the truth behind the January 6th insurrection.
Throughout Trump’s campaign, he emphasized his desire for retribution on his perceived enemies more than what he would do for the country. He has continued to promise that his political opponents, the media, those public officials who dared to prosecute him for his crimes, and anyone who criticized him would face justice under his Justice Department. He had even called for military tribunals to carry out his revenge,
Anyone who is this obsessed with taking revenge on his perceived enemies is not a sane person. Such a person should never be in a position of power or authority. But sadly, he will be the next President in a month. Thanks to a fascist Supreme Court, he will yield almost unlimited power over everyone, including those who criticize him. He can even order his political opponents to be killed as long as he does so as one of his official duties.
Former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney has been at the top of his list ever since she began investigating Trump for his part in fomenting the January 6th insurrection as Vice Chairman of the January 6 select committee of the House.
She further stoked his hatred for her as she publicly supported and campaigned for Kamala Harris in the election. He has previously called for a televised military tribunal to prosecute Cheney for treason. Last year, Trump suggested that the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Mark Milley, be executed for meeting with his Chinese counterpart.
Cheney is arguably at the top of Trump’s hit list for his next administration, but there are others who Trump has promised to “bring to justice.” Among them are Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and his family, Barack and Michelle Obama, New York’s AG Letitia James, and the list goes on.
Trump has already started his revenge on the media with lawsuits against ABC News. The major media outlets are bending over backward to kiss up to Trump, as he has promised lawsuits against them or revoking their broadcast licenses. The First Amendment is definitely in big trouble, and it doesn’t appear that the media is willing to fight for their rights.
If anyone had doubts that Trump was kidding, all they have to do is look at the sycophants he has nominated for his Cabinet positions. Not one of them possesses any qualifications except for blind loyalty to Trump and their determination to assist Trump in his reign of retribution.
In a normal democracy, one would think Trump could carry out the revengeful prosecution of his enemies with an effective judicial system in place. However, with the highest court in the land aiding and abetting Trump’s fascist behavior, there may be no way of preventing Trump from carrying out his revenge.
How far will he go? Will he seek jail time for his detractors? Or, God forbid, will he execute them, as he has suggested? The only people who can stop him are the GOP members of Congress, who so far have signaled they are willing to follow him in lockstep. We’re in for another Inquisition!
