[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "free speech" president is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies which state they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Background:
[quote]Half a dozen members of Congress who previously served in the military or intelligence community are urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey illegal orders that might be issued by President Donald Trump’s administration.

In a video posted on X Tuesday, Democratic lawmakers Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan said the “threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home,” and repeatedly urged the military and intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.” “No one has to carry out orders that violate the law, or our Constitution,” they said. “Know that we have your back… don’t give up the ship.”[/quote]

Here is the original X post video featuring the lawmakers.

And here are copies of Trump's original post and the posts he reposted calling for these politicians to be hung.

Finally, here is a link to the policy Trump signed soon after taking office titled "RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP"

You’d think that the other members of Congress would see how their dangerously insane leader might turn on them, too.[/quote]

Trust me, they all see it. That's why Lisa Murkoswki said "We're all afraid" of Trump's retribution, which is how he keeps them in line. But his power is starting to slip, as evidenced by the Rep. lawmakers like MTG who ignored his orders to vote against the bill to release the Epstein files.

MTG recently said she is facing threats due to Trump's criticism of her. [quote]Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who was once one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters, said Saturday that she’s facing threats after the president criticized her on social media. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. The man I supported and helped get elected,” Greene wrote on X on Saturday.[/quote]
