Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Wednesday said 2024 will be the last election “decided by ballots rather than bullets” if former President Trump doesn’t win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.

In the latest episode of his show on TBN, Huckabee argued the legal woes now facing Trump are part of a politically motivated scheme from the Biden administration, an argument touted by many in the former president’s orbit.

“If these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets,” Huckabee warned in his opening monologue.

Huckabee accused President Biden and his team of trying “to make sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent in 2024″ and “to destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than at the ballot box.” He also alleged the Justice Department, the IRS and the FBI are “conspiring to hide the Biden family crimes, while all the time being obsessed with charging Donald Trump with crimes.”

huckabee and all his humunculoid offspring are the evil itself, they never had any interest in the plot

They really do want violence.

I hope, when the smoke clears, they serve the remainder of their days in prison.

Because They. Won't. Win.

Dear Liberals,

Buy guns now. You are severely outgunned and the police support the other side. There is no credible deterrence preventing fascist militias from waltzing into major metropolitan areas and doing pretty much the same thing the Khmer Rouge did in Cambodia (murdering everyone that disagreed with them). Being “outraged” is not enough. Putting “In this house we believe…” signs on your lawn is not enough. Reassuring yourself with op-eds in the New York Times is not enough. Buy guns now.

Does anyone else remember the 2000 election with Gore and Bush and the state of Florida ?

What the ever loving fuck is wrong these people ?

And why is Biden's family included for Huckabee while Trump is a singular entity ?

Showing his whole ass once again.

Funny how these bastards always find someone else to do their dirty work for them. But what would you expect from Mike Huckabee, whose dick is so small he couldn't fuck a bee?

[-] PenIsland@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Like all terrorists, the RW threatens violence if they don't get their way.

Are there really Americans that would respond to threats like this with "Well I don't like them, but maybe if I vote for them they won't shoot me?"

Who am I kidding, of course there are. Probably the same Americans that insist our rigged capitalism can fix the many crises our rigged capitalism caused.

Believe it or not, there's still a shit ton of people out there making the "both sides" argument.

Their "reality" doesn't jive with actual reality.

If this shit just passes by without consequence, we have no DoJ

[-] ForestOrca@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

DOJ should def. have a chat with Mr. Huck. I mean really, like today. Tomorrow would be too late.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

Don't hope for that, Mike, it will not go the way you think it will go.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

[-] downpunxx@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Calm the fuck down, Mike.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Boy, Republicans are the biggest scam artists of all time. What fucking crimes did Biden commit? There are receipts for the crimes Trump broke. Destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than the ballot box? Are you fucking high? You don't debate criminals on policy, you prosecute criminals.

Be my guest, assholes... Just like on January 6th, all of these fascist talking heads will be nowhere to be found when shit starts going bad or getting violent. They want to foment insurrection and pit Americans against other Americans, but then they very casually wipe the blood from their hands and sit back in the comfort of their mansions. It'll be their dumbest and most gullible supporters, the useful idiots, that end up committing crimes on their behalf and suffering the legal consequences.

Trump committed crimes and, despite being rich and despite being a former president, he is not above the law.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You dickheads already tried that. Now a whole fucking lot of you are going to prison, for, idk, 22 years or so. I say once more, pull out the gun or shut the fuck up, coward.
