“Regicide”?!?!?!

REGICIDE: noun

  1. the action of killing a king.
  • a person who kills or takes part in killing a king.

In the words of Monty Python: “Oooooh What a giveaway!”

Regicide? I think that´s permissible under the Constitution, at least in spirit.

He says, in a country based on rebellion against George III. Morons just ain’t what they used to be.
(Side note: didn’t think impeachment carried the death penalty, either.)

Trump thinks of himself as being a king. Funny I thought the last king we had was George III and he has been dead over 199 years.

Charles I would agree. But DiGenova is simply elucidating a new legal doctrine for the US: The Divine Right of Presidents.

This is traitor talk. If Democrats were smart they could turn this whine and Trump’s letter against Republicans and weaken them dramatically.

Well, that’s a poor choice of words, isn’t it. Has this idiot ever bothered to read the Declaration of Independence?

Haven’t had a good regicide in a while, but I’m here for it.

And I believe the King he has in mind is a biblical reference, ie, Cyrus, as the fundies view Trump. Since it’s a king mentioned in the Good Book, they have a problem with deposing him.

Regicide. Wow. It won’t be long before Fox News is framing the American Revolution as a deep-state conspiracy, and saying the liberal media was unfair to George III.

Well if Trump acted more like a President than King Joffery, then there would be no fears of regicide.

So we saw the pictures of Trump’s inauguration, but have we seen the pictures from his coronation? What did Queen Melania wear? Where’s Trump’s crown?

I like the sound of “regicide”: if we have a king we should guillotine the bastard immediately.
