With just days to go before his first — and likely only — debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump posted a warning on his social media site threatening to jail those “involved in unscrupulous behavior” this election, which he said would be under intense scrutiny.
“WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” Trump wrote, again sowing doubt about the integrity of the election, even though cheating is incredibly rare.
“Please beware,” he went on, “that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
More nazi shit. Cool, cool.
Straight out of the fascist playbook. Claiming the election is stolen before voting has even taken place.
Yet the GOP is the one with a fake elector scheme.
Claiming the election is stolen before voting has even taken place.
He’s been doing that since 2015
Also from Nazi playbook - accuse your opponents for exactly what you are doing

This will probably only extend to the democratic voters who allegedly cheated. The republican cheaters are just part of the process
Well, the Republicans are only cheating because “the other side is cheating so they have to even the playing field”. Despite no actual evidence of any wide spread voter fraud.
I love that in the search for proof of cheating, they have found more republicans cheating than democrats
How democratic of you, Donnie.
He is afraid.
Does voting against him count as cheating?
Well Florida is now sending police to check up on ballot signatories. So there is a record of people filling out the ballot, who knows if they register what you voted. But I’d say yes.
I know anonymous elections are incredibly important, but I’d happily voice my votes in this case to shut down this bullshit.
Petition signatories, but I’m sure they’ll be happy to expand that to ballots.
It’s like when he threatened Hillary Clinton to send her to jail
Dementia causes verbal aggression.
He wasn’t that bright even before the dementia.
It’s a veiled threat to election workers and everyone involved in the election
He’s going to start calling for their deaths any time now.
Oh dear. Is the sad, confused, and weird old man rambling again?
So related topic, what’s a good anti-Trump group to give money to? Of course there’s the Kamala campaign and Republican Voters Against Trump, but I feel like both of these are repeating attacks that are already out there and common in the media. Corruption is a bipartisan issue, and despite epic levels of corruption in his administration somehow many voters seem to view Trump as some sort of incorruptible guy.
If there was a group that would point out his alleged selling of pardons (which is quite apparent given who he has pardoned), hiring of lobbyists to run just about everything, politicizing the justice department (e.g. killing an investigation into an alleged bribe he got from egypt), and use of taxpayer-funded resources to reward allies and donors, they’d get an admittedly small chunk of money from me. Any group doing that?
Consider donating to your local high-school’s sharpshooting team. If there had been more spots open on one of these high-school clubs honing the skills, accuracy, and range of our nation’s young people, this election would have been very different starting about 6 weeks ago.
Who taught him the phrase “legal exposure”?
One of the lawyers he didn’t pay
What do you mean? You can’t prosecute if they are official acts
Never thought we’d need a constitutional amendment that spells out the president and all elected and non elected government workers are subject to all the laws of the United States in the exact same way civilians are. But here we are.
How do we get this passed, folks?
As a constitutional amendment? Not going to happen. See: Texas
I am the Law
