Donald Trump said former Rep. Liz Cheney is a “war hawk” who should be fired upon, as he raged against one of his most prominent intra-party critics while campaigning Thursday night in Arizona.
“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?” the former president said at a campaign event in Glendale with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

Incidentally, Tucker Carlson said in a video released yesterday that he was mauled by demons while sleeping in bed with his wife and 4 dogs. YouTube

For context, Trump says nothing about a firing squad.
The remarks were in the context of him blathering about Cheney being eager to put troops into harms way, while he kept troops safe with his mystical, magical peace powers.

Trump called Cheney “a deranged person” and added, “But the reason she couldn’t stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. If it were up to her we’d be in 50 different countries.”
The former president continued: “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with the 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.
“You know 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 right into the mouth of the enemy,” Trump said.

To me, that sounds like a firing squad. What other interpretation is there for that?

To me, this is the least of my worries. It's not going to change anyone's mind at this point. The coin is already tossed and spinning in mid air, it's just a question on which face it lands on Tuesday night. We can't change anything at the point. And it's really like a coin toss, 50/50, unfortunately.

It is a bit more like Schroedinger's cat. The votes are going into the ballot boxes. We just don't know whether they're for K or T... until we open them and look on Tuesday night.
Regardless of that outcome, the convicted felon and his bald faced lying proxies and billionaire oligarch pals will absolutely attempt to guarantee that the outcome is T even if the results Tuesday night and on into the following weeks as closer state races are recounted. Even if T is clearly and soundly defeated on paper, they will lie their way through their Heritage Foundation-hand-picked judges to the SCOTUS, through Jan 3 start of Congress, Jan 6th EC certification, and Jan 20th Presidential Inauguration and on through April at least that it is T that gets back to the White House regardless of the breadth of popular vote separation by K over T.
It is very worrisome that a major US political party is complicity backing violence on many levels to gain/retain power. Veiled and blatant threats by PAB to specific individuals is a part of the pattern of autocracy and how, when people are truly cowed, democracy and freedom die.

I saw that. Tucker Carlson sat there like Trump was saying something perfectly normal for a presidential candidate to say. Sickening.

If I were either Cheney I would go underground on Day One of his dictatorship. He won’t use rifles, he’ll use 2000 pound bombs.

since her dad probably has some "friendlies" who still work in the Deep State, the doofus should be careful with what he says.
