Trump rages about 'cancer' on Truth Social amid reports Jan 6 panel will call to charge him

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: The Independent

Donald Trump took to Truth Social to claim that “our Country is SICK inside, very much like a person dying of Cancer”.

The former president went on to rage on Saturday morning that “the Crooked FBI, the so-called Department of ‘Justice,’ and ‘Intelligence,’ all parts of the Democrat Party and System, is the Cancer”.

“These Weaponized Thugs and Tyrants must be dealt with, or our once great and beautiful Country will die!!!” he thundered on the platform.

Meanwhile, after a year of exhaustive investigations and witness interviews, the House select committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol is expected to refer Donald Trump to the US Department of Justice for a charge of insurrection.

Still hasn't learned his lesson; still making the bullets for someone else to fire.

I would hope that there are not enough physically fit, armed, supporters on his pathetic platform to be able to organise themselves into anything resembling an actual insurrection. And it's not even secret - it's obviously being monitored. Good luck with that Donald.

Even if stochastic terrorism was codified in the big blue book (it isn't yet but it should be), he wouldn't care.

He still thinks he's above all laws.

On a private social media platform not subject to first amendment so not even relevant, but if it were doesn’t matter. First Amendment is as sacred as Second.

America left the first amendment bare naked to verbal rape by not clothing her in hate speech armor.

Most nations provide that free.

Consequences.

calling cancer.

He's continually trying to sully the minds of his supporters with the opposite narrative.

He is the cancerous growth to our country. Not the other way around.

It's about time that his supporters see through his lies, grifting and his treasonous ways.

There's one thing that he could shoot on 5th Avenue that will do him in.

And that's his foot!!!

This NFT trading card scam is close to being the final nail in his political and tyrannical coffin.

I believe his end is near and he knows it.
