Read Rupar's post which has Reuters posting "Trump suggested Liz Cheney should face firing squad for her foreign policy stance."

Here is what Trump said about Cheney without the edit from Rupar:

"She's a radical war hawk.Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her,OK? Let's see how she feels about it.You know, when the guns are trained on her face. They're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying,"oh, gee, well, let's send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies,'but she's a stupid person and I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people."

Now you know the rest of the story as Paul Harvey used to say.

Trump is not a crisp communicator and he is wrong to call Cheney stupid as she's quite bright, but this is a media created story to help Harris. All the usual suspects creating the impression that Trump is calling for Cheney to be killed is ridiculous and if you're honest with yourself, regardless of all of Trump's BS, you know too that this is not a legitimate argument.

I'm not too familiar with deaths by firing squad, but I would be willing to bet none of the victims of a firing squad have been given a rifle to defend themselves.

There is plenty to attack Trump with, but this is once again disappointing to see the media take something and breed a false narrative.

Barley lamp is lit for me, albeit late.

Go Tigers! Beat Louisville! Should be a good game.

Trump makes an idiotic/classless statement. He call Liz Cheney dumb (think about how many Presidents you've heard talk like that) and calls her a radical war monger (or something like that).
- She's not dumb
- She's not a radical war monger. She has different views than the former President and this is what he does/says about any level of difference of opinion. Vilify, hate, extreme, division
- And his comment about her being in battle. We have a civilian-led military for many reasons. I dn't recall HIM ever serving either. As POTUS, did he never put service people in harms way? Of course he did. It was a stupid thing for him to have said on many levels.

And then many in the media and in left-leaning folks say he was calling for violence against Cheney. He wasn't...he was clearly talking about her foreign policy positions and then saying she might not feel the same if she was the one doing the fighting. Of course, that's not a requirement for taking a political position on any kind of issue.

Trump says something stupid and classless, then makes a horrible illustration of his point...and then many in the media and his opposition twist if ill-chosen words and try to turn it into something else...when in the end, they could have just made a point about what he actually was saying/trying to say. It was bad enough straight up.

Liz Cheney has responded to Trump's rhetoric on X.

I don't speak for Liz, but it is such an interestingly frequent occurrence

She knows the down low more than most people realize

No one's making excuses for him. They are just pointing out that he was NOT
