Biden calls for Trump to be jailed 14 days before 2024 election: ‘We gotta lock him up!’

By Steven Nelson

Retiring President Biden stunned listeners Tuesday by calling for his predecessor Donald Trump to be jailed — 14 days before the presidential election in which Trump is the Republican nominee.

“If I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up: We gotta lock him up,” Biden, 81, said during a visit to a Democratic campaign office in Concord, NH, the Granite State’s capital.

After a four-second pause during which his audience enthusiastically applauded, Biden added in an apparent backtrack attempt: “politically, lock him up — lock him out, that’s what we’ve got to do.”

The president and his aides typically refrain from commenting on the four pending criminal cases against Trump, who contends that a quartet of local and federal indictments last year were politically motivated to aid Biden’s then-re-election campaign.

Biden has tauntingly referenced Trump’s legal woes before, however, saying last week that “I think he’s running to stay out of jail” during an appearance in Pennsylvania.

Trump, 78, was convicted in May by a Manhattan jury of 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the final weeks of the 2016 campaign. 

The 45th president’s sentencing in that case, which was brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat, is scheduled for Nov. 26.

Trump also faces pending federal and state charges in Georgia related to challenging his 2020 election defeat by Biden. And federal prosecutors are attempting to revive another case out of South Florida accusing Trump of mishandling classified records, which a judge dismissed in July.

If Trump becomes the 47th president on Nov. 5, the new administration’s Justice Department leaders likely would seek to set aside the two federal cases. 

Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, are in a close contest according to swing-state polling — with RealClearPolitics averages showing Trump marginally ahead across the board, but within survey margins of error.

Harris, 60, usually treads carefully when discussing whether Trump should be jailed — often telling supporters who chant “lock him up!” at her rallies that the court system will make that decision. 

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for clarification on Biden’s remarks, which quickly triggered outrage among Trump’s supporters.

YOURDEMOCRACY.NET RECORDS HISTORY AS IT SHOULD BE — NOT AS THE WESTERN MEDIA WRONGLY REPORTS IT.

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has filed a complaint against the UK’s Labour Party for what it claims is “interference” in the US election.

A statement on DonaldJTrump.com on Tuesday night said “The Trump-Vance Campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the Harris-Walz Campaign and the Labour Party of the United Kingdom for illegal foreign campaign contributions and interference in our elections”. 

The linked complaint addressed to the Federal Election Commission refers to reports in British newspaper The Telegraph about people associated with Labour going to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris. 

It claims that reports “surrounding the relationship between the Harris campaign and the Labour Party create a reasonable inference that the Labour Party has made, and the Harris campaign has accepted, illegal foreign national contributions”. 

The letter also refers to a report in the Washington Post which claims that advice has been offered between the Labour Party and Ms Harris’ campaign, and other reporting regarding meetings between senior Labour staff and the Democratic campaign. 

The complaint cites a social media post, which now appears to have been deleted, in which a Labour staff member apparently said there were “nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks” to swing states. 

It is understood that trips have been organised in a personal capacity and accommodation has been arranged by volunteers for the Democrats. 

Sir Keir Starmer met with Mr Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, during a trip to New York last month. 

The UK Prime Minister visited Trump Tower for talks ahead of the US election, and said he wanted to meet Mr Trump face-to-face because “I’m a great believer in personal relationships on the world stage”.

Obama ‘ready to drop bombs’ in support of Harris (VIDEO)

The former president has rapped a verse of Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ at a rally in Detroit, Michigan

Former US President Barack Obama has rapped a verse of Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ at a campaign rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in the swing state of Michigan.

Rapper Eminem gave Harris his endorsement and introduced Obama onto the stage, speaking at the event in his hometown of Detroit on Tuesday.

“You know, I have done a lot of rallies so I don’t usually get nervous, but I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem,” the former president told rallygoers after clasping hands and hugging the musician.

“I notice… my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy,” Obama said, reciting the lyrics of Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ to the laughter and cheers of the crowd. “Vomit on my sweater already, mom’s spaghetti. I’m nervous, but on the surface I look calm n’ ready to drop bombs, but I keep on forgetting,”the former president said, before waiting for the crowd to quiet down. “I love me some Eminem,” he added.

Eminem, a frequent critic of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, is the latest musician to endorse Democratic candidate Harris, following stars such as Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and Taylor Swift.

Speaking at a rally in Detroit last week, Lizzo promised that if Harris wins the election, “the whole country will be like Detroit.” “Proud” and “resilient like Detroit,” she added.

Last week, Trump warned that if Harris wins, the US could “end up being like Detroit” – “You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” he said at the Detroit Economic Club.

Once the home and center of the US automotive industry, Detroit was hit hard by both the 1973 oil crisis and the shift of manufacturing out of the country in the following decades, becoming the poster child of US deindustrialization.

Around 36% of the city’s residents fall below the poverty line, far above the national average, according to last year’s Detroit Economic Indicators Report. The city also ranked second of all US cities in terms of violent crime, according to FBI statistics for 2019.

Trump narrowly leads Harris in Michigan, as well as all other swing states according to RCP polling averages as of Tuesday.

Tulsi Gabbard joins Republican Party

With Donald Trump at its helm, the GOP has become a force for peace and common sense, the former Democratic firebrand has said

Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has endorsed Donald Trump in the race for the White House, announcing that she has joined the Republican Party. 

Gabbard, 43, served as a Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii and ran for the party’s presidential nomination in 2020. Previously deployed to Iraq and Kuwait, she became a fierce critic of US military interventions abroad. Gabbard left the Democrats in 2022, accusing the party of being “under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness.” 

The firebrand made a surprise appearance at Trump’s rally in the battleground state of North Carolina on Tuesday, where the Republican candidate introduced her as someone with “so much common sense.”After taking the floor and embracing Trump, Gabbard lashed out at the Democratic Party, which she said has become “unrecognizable” in recent years. 

The Democrats, whose election candidate is Vice President Kamala Harris, are now “anti-freedom, pro-censorship, pro-open borders, and pro-war,” Gabbard claimed, adding that Trump “pledged to end wars, not start them.” 

Gabbard argued that Trump’s leadership has helped “transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party of the people and the party of peace.” “I’m proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I’m joining the Republican Party. I am joining the party of the people… It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president who has the courage and strength to fight for peace.” 

The former Democrat has been a vocal critic of Harris’ career as a prosecutor and her foreign policy, particularly on the Ukraine conflict. Gabbard blasted the Democratic nominee as the “main instigator” of hostilities, suggesting that she crossed Russia’s red line by advocating for Kiev’s eventual accession to NATO.  

“For any objective-minded person, you can see why they wouldn’t want NATO missiles sitting in Ukraine... Kamala Harris has put us, the American people, in this position, where we are closer to the brink of World War III and nuclear war than we ever have been before,” she said. 

Gabbard’s position is in line with that of Trump, who has repeatedly called for a ceasefire while pledging to end hostilities between Moscow and Kiev within 24 hours if elected.
