So, yesterday, Sunday July 10th, I replied online to the opinion piece in the New York Times by Aquilino Gonell entitled "I was Betrayed by President Trump." In my reply I said, On January 6th Donald Trump fully intended to lead an armed insurrection against the government of the United States. He violated his oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. He should be tried for High Treason, and, when found guilty, if I knew that it wouldn't make him a martyr to his sycophant supporters, he should be taken out back and shot. The reply was approved by whatever group approves or disapproves of posts.
It lasted about six minutes before being pulled down, likely flagged by some pussy uncomfortable with my calling for the law to be followed. U.S. Code, Title 18, plainly states the penalty for Treason is "Death, or, not less than five years in prison with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death." Seriously, a simple Google search will take you right there.
As we watch the Select Senate Committee to Investigate January Sixth, it becomes more and more obvious that Donald Trump had every intention of leading the mass of people that he had called there, ("be there, it will be wild!") that he knew was armed, ("they're not here to harm me," and "fight like hell") to the Capitol to take over the government. All I called for in my reply was that Trump be held responsible to the fullest extent of the law. I was NOT calling for him to be murdered or assassinated. That would be reckless and illegal. I was just saying that the harshest punishment available under law, U.S. Code, Title 18, should be applied. I think that this would go a long way toward discouraging future presidents who had ideas of becoming President For Life. I have always said President Obama was wrong to not go after George W. Bush and his cronies for the war crimes they so obviously could have been charged with, and for lying us into a war with Iraq. If "W" had been prosecuted for lying us in to a war with Iraq, along with his black sites for torture and interrogation, we might not be where we are now with Trump.
Anyhoo, it has not been uncommon in the past for the F.B.I. guys in dark suits and sunglasses to investigate when people call for the death penalty to be applied to public figures. So, if the men in black show up at your door asking questions about me, now you'll know why.
