Raskin Threatens Countries Working With Trump, Says Dems Will Retaliate ‘When We Come Back To Power’

"JAKE TAPPER, CNN: I'm going to give you a minute, President Trump, for a follow-up question I have. After a jury convicted you of 34 felonies last month, you said if re-elected, you would quote, have every right to go after, unquote, your political opponents. You just talked about members of the Select Committee on January 6th going to jail.

Your main political opponent is standing on stage with you tonight. Can you clarify exactly what it means about you feeling you have every right to go after your political opponents?

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, I said my retribution is going to be success. We're going to make this country successful again, because right now it's a failing nation. My retribution is going to be success."

Yeah, post all the quotes you like.

Problem is, I've never believed one word out of the orange bag O' shit's gaping maw ever. It's an issue I have with pathological liars. :rolleyes:
 
Wow Canadian, that's a lot of disinformation.

You named it right there in your first paragraph. If Trump were truly out for retribution, wouldn't he have charged someone by now?

You guy's are letting your emotions get the better of you, when you could actually do better if you actually had ideas, and were willing to work with Trump.

It's not for lack of trying. It's for lack of evidence that ANY of these people have committed any crimes. Trump was screaming at Barr and Durham in the run up to the 2020 election about charging Democrats.

Trump loathed Barr because even Barr refused to file charges without evidence. Trump's whole remaking of the DOJ this time was to ensure that when he demanded investigations, he gets charges.

Republicans continue to make up allegations of imaginary crimes they claim Democrats are committing, and then going looking for evidence of these imaginary crimes. See Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Hillary's emails, and Biden Bribery.

Republicans spent 4 years trying to prove Biden was taking bribes, and found NOTHING to even suggest that Biden was taking bribes. The problem is that Republicans really are as criminally corrupt as they claim Democrats to be.

Republican Administrations have had more than 300 felony charges upheld against senior officials since Nixon was in office. In the same time frame, 4 senior Democrats have been charged and found guilty of crimes, and none of those charges involved massive conspiracies like Watergate, Iran/Contra, or Trump' "stolen election".

Since Nixon, Republicans have been increasingly focused on "getting even" with Democrats for driving Nixon from office. They impeached Bill Clinton for a perjury about a consenual blow job, after a 6 year Special Counsel investigation couldn't find anything else he did that was illegal. They said at the time "morality matters".

But then Republicans elected a convicted fraud artist and self-admitted rapist: A man who was in the middle of a $100+ million dollar fraud trial when they nominated him for high office. Apparently "morality" only matters when Democrats are in office.

You keep claiming that Democrats, who have never been arrested, much less convicted of ANYTHING, are absolutely guilty of everything Republicans accuse them of, and yet Republicans are guilty of NONE of the crimes for which they've been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted of, even when Republicans are doing the prosecution.

Such is the idiocy of the Republican voter.
 
Well, undermining our nation and the man elected to carry out/make policy. So very Marxist of Raskin, who is in fact very Red.

Insurrection indeed.


Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) issued a stark warning to El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele and other foreign leaders, cautioning that Democrats will not “look kindly” on those who cooperate with President Donald Trump when they return to power.
In a recent episode of “Pod Save America,” Raskin spoke with host and former Obama aide Tommy Vietor about the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant living in Maryland who was deported and sent to prison in his home country of El Salvador despite a 2019 court order prohibiting him from being sent back there. While at a White House meeting with Trump last week, Bukele said his nation will not send Abrego Garcia back to the United States, even after the Supreme Court upheld an order for the federal government to “facilitate” his return.
Vietor said a “Latin America policy expert” suggested to him that “Democrats should threaten to take action against any foreign government that participates in the extraordinary rendition of American citizens.” He listed cutting off future aid and seeking to prosecute foreign officials as possible forms of retaliation.
Raskin, who is the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said he liked the idea, calling it a “complement to something that we need to be doing right now, which is engaging in far more work of transnational democratic solidarity with the democratic governments and the democratic movements and peoples and parties of the world to try to prevent the spread of the lawlessness and the fascist chaos that’s been unleashed against us.”
“But implicit in it,” Raskin continued, “should be the idea that if and when we come back to power — and we will — we are not going to look kindly upon people who facilitated … authoritarianism in our country. That’s an assault on our Constitution and on our people.”
The comment prompted rebukes from some of Trump’s GOP allies on X.
“[Raskin] says he will go after Trump officials when he returns to power. They haven’t learned a single lesson,” quipped Richard Grenell, who is Trump’s special presidential envoy for special missions and interim director of the Kennedy Center.
“They aren’t coming into power any time soon if things continue as they are… that’s the only silver lining in their chaos and lunacy,” said Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC).


He s supposed to keep his nose the fuck out of our international relations (except, of course, when it comes to issues of funding foreign aid or militarily-related matters In proposed legislation).

Logan Act, anyone? I’d personally love to see fuckin’ Raskin get prosecuted.
 
It's not a claim, it's a fact...And the country recognized it, that's why you are not a majority of either chamber of Congress, and you lost the Presidency...

And it's not about some fealty to Trump per se, more like we now see progressive Democrats unmasked.

American's want the crazy crap stopped, they want the out of control spending stopped, they want America to start being that shinning city on the hill that Reagan envisioned...

And instead of learning that lesson, seems as though you freaks are doubling down on stupid...
Perhaps you haven't noticed that trump's approval rating is the lowest it has ever been. Sure, he won the election, but you failed to recognize how little the country would support all the crap he has pulled.

“The crap” is what everyone voted for…
 
Radical democrat politicians spend their time on fantasies about punishing Central America countries which are loyal to the United States while the freaking world is falling apart because of Biden's policies. No wonder they lost the last election.
 
“The crap” is what everyone voted for…
A large amount of trump voters have said they didn't really expect him to do all that crazy shit. Buyers remorse is growing daily. Note his popularity ratings.

Nah, your sources are misleading you. While it may be true that some are a little anxious over the tariffs, I think much of that is being driven by news outlets that don’t want, or have a vested interest in Trump failing.

Trump is succeeding on the no.1 issue he was voted in by so many Americans for, and that is immigration. And he achieved a 95% reduction in illegal crossings in his first weeks, after Biden, and people like you said it couldn’t be done.

On the Economy, this will take some time to rectify the decades of destruction liberal policies have wrought on the country…This has to be done in phases…First, we have to bring trade back to a level playing ground, then we can ramp up manufacturing, drilling (already showing results), and finally pricing to re establish the American dream for many of our children, and grandchildren…

If you think his plans are wrong, then offer some ideas. Tell you representatives to work with the administration to forge a better future. Instead of the constant complaining, and gaslighting currently the Democrat platform. Otherwise we’ll continue to ignore you.
 
What a STUPID comment. 80% of Americans don't want to work in a factory, and they don't want their children working in factories. Everybody wants production to return to the USA, but nobody is interested in these jobs.




Do you think the Chinese want to work in factories or do you think they do it because they must to survive? Amerians are spoiled. Stop with the handouts and allowing illegals to flood into the country and you would be surprised as just how many Americans would take decent paying factory jobs to feed themselves and their families.
 
No, that was your peoples narrative....I swear, you fall for anything..

You would NEVER stand for Republicans threatening other countries, talking of retribution, messing with this countries foreign policy...

You guys need to do better if you want even a hope to make midterms a race...

No, those were his exact words.

I don’t know why you Trumpsters lie I such obvious ways.

But it seems that you lie most ardently when you cheered for “retribution”, and other Trump disgraces.

You know dammed well that Trump shouted retribution.

So, you’re lying about it now.
 
Not at all surprised to see that Raskin did not actually say what the OP claimed.

But when trash like Zero Hedge is a “news” source………

If you believe that truly, then there is NOTHING to discuss with you....
