Somebody is going to have to die in order for nothing to continue happening.

Bold of you to assume any death would prompt action.

Did you read all the words?

[–] [email protected] 94 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I did now and I realize I’m an ass.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 11 months ago

I love you.

I'm a bystander but I had to re-read it a few times and didn't get it either ... think my brain filled in the gaps instead of reading it properly

To paraphrase all the words "Only country where this keeps happening, changes nothing, surprised that it keeps happening"

in Italy, for mafia trials, special protections for judges where put in place. Please USA, look at these examples.

If it was literally anyone else, they would be in jail and only allowed outside contact through their lawyers

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

and only allowed outside contact through their lawyers

if at all...

If this happens one or two hundred more times there might be maybe serious sort of consequences!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

But one death threat towards Trump and you got the mercaroids kicking in your bathroom door.

[–] tastysnacks 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't know why Trump is getting special treatment

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I know at least a couple million, but probably not a billion reasons why

after Donald Trump targeted them on social media.

...while, as a former president, being protected by the Secret Service at taxpayer expense.

That just ain't right.

Someone needs to just make trump "dissappear" already

He is a threat to human rights and equality

I've often wondered why it seems only the progressive people working to make society better for all get assassinated.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Because the chances of someone who disagrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic is much higher than someone who agrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic.

It's as if saying "will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest" is a time-tested means of getting meddlesome priests murdered, and somehow it's still effectively legal for the Trumps of the world to incite that kind of violence. It's also as if America's justice system plain doesn't want to hold wealthy or powerful people accountable

This man inspires the wrong people.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

It's not just him. It's the whole right of the spectrum right now. Here in Canada the head of the opposition in parliament tweeted a wanted sign on two senators. One of them in Cornwall, Ontario. This is growingly a radical element of shitheads that are ruining the world for the large majority.

This man should not be in a position to inspire anyone.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

One of my favorite quotes:

"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

If they come to his house with rifles, the judge will seriously consider checking that their safetys are on.

Probably ordered by Trump himself.

Not really doing his Jan 6th case any favors here either.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

The only surprise is that it took this long.

Lock him up.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

If we were to drown Trump in a vat of his own diapers, it would make the world a better, saner place.

Barring that, I'd settle for him dying in prison.

People are very eager to throw their lives into the volcano for him. My only question is why do people want to do this for a reality TV personality and a man who looks like a chimney sweep at the nacho factory?
