Lock them up for war crimes. Hegseth must be arrested and prosecuted in international court. We cannot allow Trump and Republicans to keep killing innocents: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/pete-hegseth-war-crime-venezuela

They need to be tried just like the Nazis we’re at the Nuremberg trials.

He is Jabba the hut and let's white supremacists and morons run this country.

Christine's avatar

I don’t want Nuremberg trials. Trump and Republicans would make it a circus!

First, arrest him, indict him, let him sit in prison in a nice orange jumpsuit. No special protections. Put him in general population.

No press conferences.

Nothing!

Treat him like the common criminal that he is!

Don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

What is very encouraging is that a Republican started this investigation and they actually suggested that it was illegal.

He wouldn’t be able to sway individuals at The Hague!

If that was anyone of us, we would have been locked up in minutes.

Lois W. Halbert's avatar

He does not care about us. Just himself. Sickening. He's a destructive bully. He's nasty. He's a revenge monger.

dee Romero's avatar

I agree with you. I pray for the end of thos regime Mike Johnson will go down in history as a coward.

Danuta's avatar

Speaking of Mikey, where is he? Haven’t heard from him nor seen him on TV recently.

Lois W. Halbert's avatar

Thanks Aaron. Be safe.

Jay Wilkins's avatar

He can't help anyone…

Joe English's avatar

Good morning. Thank you Aaron. ICE is supposed to be arriving today in the Triangle, per invite to return by House Speaker Destin Hall. The communities are prepared.

Besides whistles, I have wondered how really bright LED lights might be helpful.

Joe English's avatar

Not sure Kathy, but LED lights are important for winter and northern OP (Operation Protection) and Visibility Brigade bannerings in some areas. It depends local regulations. Also reflective paint is employed. It is a whole genre of resistance.

Joe English's avatar

That is something that is done. Fairly commonly, more so for marshals for rallies.

Patricia Reed's avatar

Stay strong and protect your community as best you can - peacefully. They are hoping to goad people into a violent response so they can use more force themselves. Be loud, very loud but non-violent. Good luck!

Brian Burrell's avatar

We support and thank these communities!!!

Donna P's avatar

Check out ojonc.org. It’s a map of their location.

Joe English's avatar

That is not current, but are confirmed reports. It's a great app, but be careful on using it to amplify information.

When the house of cards falls, as it must, we need to remember the names of everyone who enabled 🍊🤡 and insure they never hold positions within government again. Imprisonment for treason wouldn’t go amiss.

emilia bryant's avatar

he is collecting money everywhere he goes. he doesn't care what the people want

Julie's avatar

Perhaps he doesnt know how badly things go for leaders who saidthe people can “eat cake.”

Karab's avatar

emilia- 💯agree! he’s doing what he came to do: make money for himself & rich loyalists, burn everything down, blame everyone else. and the people? hahahaha as he pisses on our leg & tells us it’s raining

Kitt's avatar

Collecting? It’s organized crime, payoffs!

Anthony Rupert's avatar

Trump feels isolated. Raise your hand if you also don’t GAF. 🙋🏾‍♂️

Michael Berg's avatar

Anthony, i checked my own meter. It showed only “medium” on GAF but “high” on “giveashit”.

Brian Burrell's avatar

I think what’s being said is not that he feels isolated, but that he is isolated.. He’s happy as a clam breathing the fumes of the smoke being blown up his butt- thus he’s disconnected from how badly he is actually performing and being received by voters and Republican lawmakers..

KingRayVet's avatar

He doesn't care about campaigning. His goons are trying to rig everything anyway. All that clown 🤡 cares about is making himself richer & richer. Letting his thugs do whatever they want, no matter how racist or bigoted. The entire regime makes me ill, that's for sure. 🤬 I'm afraid to look at how far along they are with Project 2025 now. They're trying to "Make America White Again!"

Old Reprobate's avatar

The nation has never been white. There was the 1st nations and the Spanish from the beginning, and some of their white ancestors themselves created the the black citizenry. Truth be known, the vast majority of the White Supremist ancestors where not much better off than the slaves.

King X's avatar

What a load of crazy nonsense. 🙄 They are trying to take things back to when folks didn't have any rights besides them. So, what the entire fuck are you talking about?

KingRayVet's avatar

This place is white-run & owned!!!! Don't care what happened long ago, and they are trying to get rid of everybody who isn't white. We Black people are oppressed by whites. So, please do STFU! Actually, in a few minutes, I'll just block your ignorant ass. Nobody was fucking lynching whites or supremacists, you racist goon. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

Salena Ross's avatar

Listen to what you just said. THREE YEARS!!!! Yeeeeeeaaaaarrrrss! It seems like we’ve been doing this for THREE HUNDRED YEARS! Every single day EVERY SINGLE DAY he does something more and more awful. Three years has so much more opportunity to screw us up forever! This is so exhausting. Thank you for walking beside us while we are in this nightmare.

Presidents should not be holding rallies ... Presidents should be leading.

Auntie Babe's avatar

Well, this orange president doesn’t neither

Yolanda's avatar

Hie administration is running the country! He’s now realizing he doesn’t have as much control as he thought.

Karen Brownfield's avatar

I totally agree with you

Al Bernasconi's avatar

They brought this on themselves by choosing greed and power over service to our country and protecting our Constitution. They went along with traitors like Mitch McConnell who had the chance to do the right thing… so F them!

Maureen Maxwell's avatar

IMHO: Project2025 authors are getting what they wanted in T.2.0 and allowing him to be as crazy as he can be as THEY take over the White House and the world to the Republican's decades long wet dreams on what the USA should be...MAGA were tricked and the USA loses as the Heritage Foundation and S cal tech groups get what they want....The 10% rules and Bernie should have been president 2 decades ago or at least listened to in mainstream USA :)

Janell's avatar

Project 2025 is so scary. We need to continue to pay attention and keep up standing up and showing up against Theil and Vance. They are waiting for tRump to crash. Unlike tRump they continue with plan to destroy our constitution and laws secretly and underhandedly.

Maureen Maxwell's avatar

Yes T.2.0 is only the handled mouthowice but JDV and the rest are even worse as they are more sane...Not quite human but not crazed as T. always was :(

dee Romero's avatar

I DON'T thinkMAGA WAS NOT TRICKED. NOT A SINGLE MAGA THAT I KNOW DENY THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE voting for.They wanted him -- they wanted THIS!! THEY AREN'T VICTIMS.WE ARE THEIR VICTIMS - OUR COUNTRY IS A VICTIM OF THE RED HAT WEARING HATRED.

Maureen Maxwell's avatar

Actually if you truly follow History they did NOT count on what is happening they all just in general are racist......WHAT is happening now has been planned for decades by The think tanks and MAGA do nto even knwo they exist...no matter what theyt follow him blindlhy!

VEE LAVALLEE's avatar

It should have been obvious to republicans that Donald wasn't a leader. He was a bombastic fool and now they are facing the consequences. They brought him on board because of his racist misogynic MAGA base. They foolishly thought they could control him. The only people he listens to are those that give him money to further their agenda and his. Making more money for themselves. These are mostly billionaires that want to become trillion-aires I fear. Trump believes that if he does them "favours" that they will repay him. They are using him as much as he is using them. What it all comes down to is that the party thought he would owe them and have found out that he conned them as he conned his MAGA voters. I'd like to say it's their own fault except for the fact that the country suffers for their stupidity. The rethuglican party should never be allowed into government again because they have proved that they really don't know what the hell they are doing. Never did, never will.

Julie's avatar

Trump is a sick old man. The GOP elected officials and RNC knew he was a sick old man since his first term - Adam Kinzinger talked about it from Trumps first term.

And of course you would know what body part was being MRI’d. Its the part inside the machine that the tech is constantly positioning to insure is getting properly imaged.

Chris's avatar

Maybe Adam Kinzinger needs to speak up to the GOP and tell them to get their shit together and join the democrats to get that sob impeached along with the administration asap.

Julie's avatar

I wish he could. But he got thrown out of the party when he joined the jan 6 committee. He said some republicans listen to his show and he occasionally speaks directly to them via his podcast but he is persona non grata in the party.

They all know. They are just scared.

Marthanne summers's avatar

They should be afraid! Very afraid! They may be getting so much more than they voted for but they did vote for this anti democracy government ! They can stop this but they have to take action now!

Joe Rodriguez's avatar

He and his entire cabinet and the majority of the trumpublicans in Congress and the Senate should be tried and convicted of TREASON.

Brian M Chandley's avatar

"Trump is becoming more isolated as his term winds down." His term is NOT winding down - it is just beginning (assuming he lives 3 more years).

Chris's avatar

He won't live that long…he's going nuts and spiraling out of control… something needs to be done about him now! It's all starting to blow up all around him…he needs taken out of the white house along with his administration.

Brian M Chandley's avatar

I hope you are right but I have been hearing this for too long now to believe it will happen.
