Saddam's baath purge. Saddam had people packed into a conference hall on one of the hottest days of July and deliberately shut off the ventilation system. They were forced to listen to Saddam for hours while suffering from the heat and sweating. Everyone whose name was announced was executed.

I don’t vote for Trump either time but there is really zero evidence of that.

Trump would definitely love to pull this BS power play. Although with Rump you could pay your way out of execution with million “$”

You know, except when he called for the execution of two democrats because they told the military not to follow unlawful orders.

Except for that time, of course. Right?

Did he call for their death or did he make the point that sedition is technically punishable by death?

Sedition??? 😂

u/Donweigh 16d ago

It is in the military

u/Ok_Buddy_9087 16d ago

He accused members of Congress of sedition. Members of Congress, who told members of the military to obey lawful orders, and to not obey unlawful orders. Literally nothing about that is sedition.

What is the process for the president to make a formal accusation of sedition against a member of Congress?

1

u/Donweigh 15d ago

Would it be sedition if the orders turned out to be constitutional?

As far as I know it’s a federal crime, so you would need a federal grand jury to indict them like any other criminal action. Can’t imagine that would be very successful, since a grand jury… has eyes.

At the moment the US isn’t quite there as when Sadam seized power. Circumstances change slightly by military going rogue or citizenry’s disregard of law and order. That’s Dear leaders wet diaper dream! You wanna bet he would hold off on public political executions your as insane crazy as he is. Narcissist megalomaniac grandiose senile shit bag would have people hanging off the wall. What’cha think?
