Trump’s post-truth agenda beaten back as Americans refuse to accept ICE lies (www.theguardian.com)

Effort to manipulate killing of Alex Pretti collapsed after footage torpedoed ‘domestic terrorist’ claim – could this be a turning point?

Facing a widespread backlash from the public, Democrats and even his own Republican party, Trump was forced into a partial retreat, distancing himself from efforts by aides such as Stephen Miller and Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem, to demonise Pretti, and shuffling leadership of immigration operations in Minneapolis.

For once, the president’s reality distortion field – which promised Mexico would pay for his border wall, claimed Covid would disappear “like a miracle”, insisted the 2020 election was stolen, and rewrote the history of the January 6 insurrection – had met its match.

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post warned: “Mr President, the American people didn’t vote for these scenes, and you can’t continue to order them to not believe their lying eyes.”

IF the Dems can take our country back, we have to resolve this unprecedented situation in an unprecedented way. Among other things, like declaring MAGA a National Security Threat and prohibiting it from existing, we have to do a deep investigation into the 2024 election, uncover the election fraud that stole the election. Then we can declare the second MAGA administration invalid, and roll back all MAGA legislation, EOs, appointments, and PARDONS. Everyone he pardoned will voluntarily return to prison to serve out their sentences, or 10 years will be added.

Then Presidential Pardons will be amended to be invalid if they were determined to be a mechanism in breaking the law or covering a crime.

THEN convict him of his treason, sentence him to life in prison, and confiscate his entire fortune as a fine. Then go after every single one of his henchmen, including his billionaire friends. ESPECIALLY his billionaire friends.

life in prison? we shouldn't allow any more of our tax dollars to perpetuate that shitstain's existence. a short drop and a sudden stop then throw his corpse over the side and let the ocean reclaim what's rightfully hers. this isn't about treason at this point, it's about crimes against humanity.

Agreed we should have dealt with the traitors the first time appropriately. The confederates and the Nazis came back as MAGA because we didn't properly sanitize them like the human viruses they were/are.

This time I say we do the job correctly.

I will never be for capital punishment, no matter for whom we think it's justified. The nature of equal justice is that it's there for everyone, or nobody.
