Top House Dem Says Trump Should 'Keep His Reckless Mouth Shut': He's Gonna Get 'Someone Killed'

Source: msn/MEDIAite

12h


House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), alongside the Democratic whip and conference chair, put out a statement Thursday blasting President Donald Trump’s threat to execute six Congressional Democrats.

Trump posted on social media a screed aimed at Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). Trump’s posts accused the lawmakers of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH” after they put out a video urging military members not to follow “illegal orders.”

Jeffries released his statement on X with the caption, “Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.” “Political violence has no place in America,” began the statement, adding:

Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan and Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin all served our country with tremendous patriotism and distinction. We unequivocally condemn Donald Trump’s disgusting and dangerous death threats against Members of Congress and call on House Republicans to forcefully do the same.

He tried to kill Mike Pence, his own sitting VP.
He let 1 million people die during Covid.
He appointed a psychotic drug abuser to dismantle the US healthcare system.

The list goes on and on.

he is never held accountable for any of it. I know some will say "yet," but I will believe it when I see it. Just him loosing is not enough. I want to see him put on trial for it, and hopefully convicted.

Quit treating Trump like he has any kind of morality or responsibility toward anything. He just wants to kill as long as there’s no danger to him.

That Republicons killed bipartisanship many years ago, and playing nicely with them isn't going to cut it, anymore.

Like you said, I wish the majority of them had figured that out sooner but better late than never, I guess. Applause to Newsom, AOC, Bernie Sanders, Crocket, and Warren, and any others who actually knew that the days of go along to get along are long gone, faster than the rest.

Hundreds of thousands preventable* deaths.

Hundreds of thousands died in horrifying conditions, away from their loved ones.

*preventable: Compared to dozens of countries around the world where COVID measures taken seriously.

Even in poorer countries.

SADISTIC PSYCHOPATH!

From Americans dead from Covid-19 to Venezuelans dead from drones, TRUMP REVELS IN DEATHS, and in particular CAUSING DEATHS!

This, I believe, is THE key to unlocking his deranged psyche. Every action he takes is a version of meting out death, thumbs-down Nero style.

Along with the aforementioned, he wants no healthcare insurance for Americans. He wants no medical science research. He wants no vaccines. No food inspections. No jobs. No peace in their neighborhoods.

He threatens his opponents with literal death sentences. He pardoned J-6 killers/accessories. He shows verbal and physical affection for murderous dictators and indifference for their enemies and victims. He expressed disdain and worse for POWs and deceased warriors. He calls journalists "the enemies of the people." He threatens sovereign nations with war. He muses aloud as to why we don't use our nuclear arsenal since we have one.

He buried his first wife as one might a hamster. He mocked a man with cerebral palsy symptoms. He refers to women in animal terms, or "vicious," "nasty," "ugly." He has overseen the taking of infants and children from their mothers, those kidnapped never, ever to be seen or located again, perhaps even sold. He has been convincingly accused of destroying the lives if not innocence of young teens.

And more.

Symbolically, the obvious example of Trump's psychological need to assign death and destruction to America---never to be forgiven for not electing him in 2020---is his demolition of the White House proper and grounds, while substituting cheap gaudiness and lifeless concrete.

But because he is incapable of coping consciously with this aspect of his psyche, Trump is compelled to call himself a Man of Peace, the People's Savior, making America great again by ridding our country of the very demographic to which he belongs: Rapists; Thieves; Murderers; Felons; Drug Abusers; (Offspring of) Immigrants.

In sum, whether via words, deeds, symbols, substitutes, or reality, Trump has demonstrated that his One True Love is DEATH.

And we all know the only way out for all of us---and him.

That's a good start. Every Dem needs to learn how to speak plainly like this.
