Maybe watch the rally? I watched the whole thing live and did not register "lock him up" on my second wacth i heard that some people do chant "lock him up" it doesn't catch on and is drowned out by Ka-Ma-La. You can't believe everything (anything) you read in a headline.

SHE SMILED R U SERTIOUS??!!111

I'm not laughing. I get why some people think it's funny, but it's not a good cycle to be in.
Trump should not have been trying to sell outcomes in the justice system as a political move. It isn't going to improve the situation any to do the same back.
This should have never started. It shouldn't be perpetuated.
-
On the other hand, trump absolutely belongs in jail and should be absolutely locked up.
-Rapist -Pedophile -Fraud -Insurrectionist -Traitor.
Not locking him is as equally political as him trying to lock hillary up. The apolitical thing to do, as a prosecutor or investigator is to do your fucking job; by the book. In fact, a large part of the reason we're in this mess is because Trump has been left free to do as he fucking pleased for the last 3.5+ years.

The apolitical thing would be to not have chants to jail someone at a rally.
I don't care about Team Red or Team Blue. I care about Trump acting in a way that I'd consider wildly unacceptable for someone in his position. If the Dems start doing Trumplike shit because he did it first, I am going to be done with Harris too. There are other people out there too for whom the issue with Trump is how he acted. Adopt Trump's behavior, and the Dems will kill their appeal to them too.

Oh I'm sorry - the 34 TIME CONVICTED FELON shouldn't be locked up? That's what you think?
-
So tell me, what's the difference between one candidate calling to lock up their opponent for 'crimes', and another letting the crowd repeat the first one's chant after they were convicted of multiple felonies and are doing their damned best to weasel out of countless more criminal proceedings? Is it minuscule, or a massive difference that makes the two situations not remotely the same? Hint: the latter one.
Fuck him, lock him up. Criminals should be called out as criminals, especially when they're running for office. Boo fucking hoo, don't like being called a criminal, don't be a criminal, and don't be super public running off your stupid dumb mouth.
-
This isn't a political outcome being sold, other than denying him the presidency means he's not simply immune. People going to prison for being found guilty of crimes in courts of law is the normal course of events.
-
But he actually did crimes
-
Seeing Trump in an orange jumpsuit, as opposed to just orange face makeup, will greatly improve my situation.
-
Locking him up should end the cycle. You have to close the loop where it begins.
-
Oh for God's sakes sake quit with this they go low we go high bullshit. It's nonsense and a fever dream you're having. There's no point in playing this game with Republicans. You're wasting your time trying to go high.
-
Umm...what? Like, seriously - what??
Can I have some of whatever it is you're smoking???
-
I just woke up and saw this headline. My knee-jerk reaction was the same as yours, since I always hate stooping down to someone else's level like that.
Then I remembered Trump has been charged with many specific violations of the law and convicted of some of those charges already, and is only awaiting sentencing (thanks to the courts doing him so many favors, that wait keeps getting extended). We're good to call for him to be locked up at this point.
-
not really a cycle when one person is getting it thrown in their face

I get what you are saying. It could push us down a path where political enemies are locked up after they lose president elections, but I don't think that is the case.
(1) Jailing Trump isn't a major taking point from politicians. I think Democratic politicians present the prosecution of Trump to be a good thing especially regarding the Georgia and Florida cases, but they typically present his felony conviction as the goal. "Lock him up" typically isn't a railing cry which makes this article newsworthy.
(2) Trump is unique. The Florida and Georgia cases ARE notable. Holding onto state secrets come with a high legal burden. He fucked up. You can't pressure Georgia officials to find votes for you as President. He fucked up. I'm happy having courts investing that.
I expect if Trump actually got sentenced it would be like 8 months probation.
-
Boohooohooo we did some bullshit for years and now they're doing it back to us! So mean!
-
I get your point, and mostly agree from a political standpoint. She should ask people to stop.
But it is funny, since she's a former DA and AG, while he's a actually a convicted felon. And he started it? Yah it's a little funny. Once

Bullshit. I just watched that speech, and there was no chant — it was clearly one person saying “lock him up”, and they didn’t even repeat it. And she was grinning before that applause break, not in response to a random heckle at the end of it. Wtf is this.
Not bullshit. They’re not talking about the heckle they’re talking about the 10 seconds of chanting at 7:18. Watch again. https://youtu.be/2soe8ml_weg?si=uJqnlGGNU4SF8im_
I hear "KA-MA-LA" pretty clearly there, I really can't make it out as "lock him up".
It's "Ka-ma-la"... I just replayed it over and over, trying to hear "lock him up", and at this point I feel like I'm trying to unfocus my eyes at a Jackson Pollock and expecting to see a schooner.
don’t be like that, they are just saying that the two events happened at the same time. “Kamala Harris grins as the world marks new hottest day on record”, “Kamala Harris grins as hundreds more flights get cancelled after huge IT outage”. See? Perfectly innocent journalism!
Propaganda?
I mean, fuck Drumpf into a hole with his own arms, but this is still BS.
