Summary

Donald Trump, speaking at the Justice Department, called for jailing officials behind the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and defended allies while attacking critics.

He praised Judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed his classified documents case, and condemned those who criticized her.

Trump called former special counsel Jack Smith “deranged” and referred to Jan. 6 defendants as “hostages.”

His remarks, delivered before Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, underscore his escalated rhetoric on retribution now that he holds presidential power again.

    I mean, I publicly say I wish Trumps shooter hadn’t missed so badly, and that Trump had caught the bullet with his empty fucking skull. I just wish when his skull gets blown apart, it’s on live TV, so I can enjoy having it as my screensaver in uncensored HD.

        As bad as I wanted to see that happen, this problem doesn’t go away when one man dies. It’s clear that we need to see where this path leads before we learn our lesson. I wish that weren’t true, but it is.

      What? And make him a martyr?

      I want him to cark it at a campaign rally. Pop a blood vessel in his skull, while pushing a little too hard on a constipated shit, only to lose the last shred of a fragment of sanity. To see him collapse onto the ground growling and chewing on the podium.

      To quote G’kar… it’s a dream I have.
