    Here's Trump saying the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago should be jailed.

    President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for the jailing of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, accusing them of “failing to protect” Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who have been sent to the city.

    His comments mark another escalation — at least in rhetoric — against Democratic leaders in Illinois who have been pushing back against his immigration crackdown there. There is no evidence that either Johnson or Pritzker has done anything to warrant jail time, and the White House did not specify which laws the president believes they have broken.

    Once again demonstrating that Just The News is not a reputable site. The article headline doesn't match reality.

    J6'rs were protesting a fishy election, in order to stand up for actual democracy. (Most of them anyway).

    I suppose the Democratic thing to do, is take it up the tail pipe, and congratulate your the paper winners for having cheated so cleverly...

    But damn...when the guards were holding the doors open for them, and waving them in like greeters at Disney World...

    Poster trolls and doesn't deserve the easy 100% debunking of the entire post. Pathetic non-reality post as expected from some of these of the maga persuasion.

    You live in an alternate reality. Let's recap what actually happened:
    • Trump loses the election
    • Trump then tries the legal route:
      • He challenges the results in court, losing 50+ cases across multiple states
      • Audits are conducted in multiple states, including by external auditors. None of them uncovers material fraud or anomalies
    • Trump then goes the illegal route
      • Pressures the governor and SOS of Georgia to "find" the 12k votes he needs to win the state
      • Hatches a scheme to send alternative states of false electors to vote against the results in their state and have Mike Pence as VP recognize the false electors.

    Literally hitting submit debunking this as you posted this message although I've learned that obvious trolling is allowed but calling it trolling gets your post deleted.

    Keep dismissing half your countrymens' perspective as "trolling"...

    ...as you suffer "Hail to the Cheif" to the 45th and 47th President of these United States, one Mr. Donald J. Trump.

    Trolling y'all call it? Well then, I say...

    "...trolling, trolling, trolling, Keep those doggies trolling, rawhide! H"yah!"

    So if half the countrymen can't complete a sentence most of the time or deign to let this poster be their mouthpiece, we are in serious trouble. The constant goading rather than intelligently responding is quite telling.

    All that you have after entertaining all your distractions from the topic at hand is that i need to respect your completely erroneous view of events because enough people believe them? Sorry but I prefer to look at the actual context of each situation to form an opinion.

    Right, they were just protesting. They were protesting that Trump lost the election but didn't get to still be president. Just a nice peaceful protest.

    Mayhaps enough votes cast to make the allegedly villainous 45, miraculously, against all odds, probability, or conventional wisdom, became 47, also looked at the events, and formed an opinion., just as you did, and they (we) view your take as completely erroneous.

    You don't need to respect their view. Nor mine. Won't hurt my feelings in the slightest.

    But at least understand we view your positions as absurd--just as you view ours.

    C'est la vie.

    You're describing a cult. Facts and circumstances don't matter as long as leader believes it and enough people believe leader.

    Good one. Let us know when you have an actual independent thought on the topic instead of throwing out your 6th or 7th whataboutism of the thread. Covid origins now? Seriously?

    Perhaps you'd like to explain why you think this is corruption by the left as compared to actions being taken by Trump to prosecute his enemies?
