Trump calls for jailing and “televised military tribunals” of "Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, Mr. Pence, Mr. Schumer, Mr. McConnell and Nancy Pelosi." I think he is trying to get my vote. (hexbear.net)

Mr. Trump has repeatedly called for the imprisonment of his political opponents, often singling out members of the Jan. 6 committee. But the two posts that Mr. Trump amplified on Sunday particularly stand out.

One proposed jailing an extensive list of high-ranking officials, including Mr. Trump’s former vice president, the top Republican in the Senate and the current president and vice president. The other invoked the dictatorial imagery of a televised military tribunal, which would strip Ms. Cheney of her right to due process similar to the military courts used to prosecute terror suspects at Guantánamo Bay

I remember there being specific campaign slogans about Hillary but it seemed like all of the focus was on her specifically.

They chanted drain the swamp constantly.

True but talking about doing something" about general corruption and graft in government has always been a thing. Its like "the deep state", it doesn't typically specify any specific individual just ... blobs of bureaucracy.

Right it's been a thing forever to talk about it and not do it that's why what he's doing isn't anything new or unique.

Dems say they're going to do good things if elected, republicans say they'll punish the people they hate.

They're both full of shit. Republicans will crank up the cruelty against vulnerable people but they have class co science, they aren't going after each other.
