Trump says Jack Smith should be "thrown out of the country."

Source: The Hill

"Former President Trump said during a Thursday interview that "deranged" special counsel Jack Smith should be "thrown out of the country."

""We should throw Jack Smith out with them, the mentally deranged people," Trump said during his appearance on WABC 770 AM's "Cats & Cosby Show" with hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby.


"'Jack Smith should be considered mentally deranged and he should be thrown out of the country,' the Republican nominee added while talking about immigration, one of the most important topics for voters in the 2024 presidential election.

"This is the second time Trump went after Smith on Thursday. Earlier in the day, Trump slammed Smith, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022 to oversee investigations into the former president, calling him a "crooked person" and vowing to fire the special counsel in "two seconds" if he triumphs in November."

15. Would it be okay to put him IN the rocket?

If we strap him to one the imbalance will wind up crashing the rocket into Orlando. Nice people who don't deserve to have Trump infesting their homes will be affected. But they could stick him in the place on the rocket they put the satellites and be fine.

Psych Ward for evaluation. Where the hell is his family? Why are they not taking care of him? He is elderly, and obviously needs care.

8. Trump wants to be a dictator

using the word "Fascist" to define him is vague, to a lot of Americans. But the word "Dictator" definitely brings a negative reaction..

to point out that he is giving you his "Final Solution" for those he deems to have mental health issues. The accusation of mental illness is one that was used in the former Soviet Union and still now in Russia to label those in opposition and justify their "confinement" for "treatment". As far as I know China still does also. I don't know about North Korea or whether Tiny Kim just has them executed straight away.

A tangent to this, and a horror, is that during the middle to late decades of the last century "researchers" explored "deconstruction" of a person's personality by forced repetitive stimuli like pain, discomfort by bright lights, unending loud repetitive sounds/statements, stress positions imposed for long periods, imminent bodily harm etc. The subjects for these "experiments" were not always willing to say the least. We can use the catch all term of "brain washing" because the researchers wanted to know not just what things worked to erase parts of you but also what could work to instill in you things they wanted.

Distilled to it's essence the concept that the brain was holding and retaining the things that it receives was being explored for if it was possible to "erase or overwrite" what is already there. Some of the research was defended as trying to find out ways to "help" those with behavior disorders etc. but the military saw "other" potential in the concept. The ghoulish "doctors" who took part in giving John Yoo and Jay Bybee the OK for the actions in the Bush Torture Memos were basically working from that earlier and subsequent research. Since only lifelong debilitating inability to function due to extreme PTSD, major loss of memory, lifelong physical damage etc. would be left behind it was deemed OK and not torture at all since that damage was deemed acceptable. When people tried to call the US to task about the damage to completely innocent people we responded with the "justification" that we didn't know they were innocent until after all of the "enhanced interrogation techniques" and the government/military used the guilty ones they did get as an example of how it was all "needed" and "it had worked".
