It’s our last BradCast<\/i><\/a> today before our Thanksgiving break. And, frankly, it was a very different show than the one I went to bed last night pondering for today. Blame the pathetic, desperate, criminal coward in the White House. Again. [Audio link to full show follows this summary.<\/i>]\n

Today, in several<\/a> posts<\/a> to his failing<\/a> social media site, an increasingly unhinged Donald Trump<\/b>, the President of the United States, called for six Democratic members of Congress — four House members and two Senators, all distinguished veterans of the U.S. armed forces or intelligence services — to be killed. <\/p>\n

Their “crime”? Advising U.S. service members, in a 90-second video<\/a> on Tuesday, that they may — indeed, they must<\/a> — “refuse illegal orders.”<\/p>\n

It’s not particularly controversial. But today, Trump, who is floundering in virtually every aspect of his job, pretended to be outraged<\/a>, repeatedly describing the comments from those Democrats as “SEDITIOUS”, describing them as “TRAITORS” and calling for them to be put to “DEATH!” (That, even though he pardoned actual<\/i> seditionists that he incited to try and overthrow the U.S. Government on January 6, 2021.)<\/p>\n

In addition to his own words, Trump also elevated<\/a> another wingnut loon on his social media site who declared: “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!”<\/p>\n

Just two months ago, Republicans pretended to be furious about political violence and words that might lead to it following the murder of a far-right Republican activist. But, since Trump is now calling for the deaths of Democratic members of Congress, his lackeys<\/a> and quislings<\/a> at both the White House and in Congress are joining Dear Leader. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson<\/b>, pretending to be furious today, for example, falsely charged that those six elected officials and distinguished veterans “encourage[d] young troops to disobey orders”. He forgot to mention that the orders in question are unlawful<\/em> ones<\/a>, as the Dems repeated over and again while reminding those “young troops” of their oath to defend and follow both the Constitution and rule of law, and encouraging them: “Don’t give up the ship.”<\/p>\n

I had a word or two to say about all of this on today’s program. So did a lot of other folks both in and out of Congress, some of which we share as well.<\/p>\n
