i mean, i think anyone who assassinated trump would be a hero too. it really isn’t crossing the line and shouldn’t be. it’s just exchanging ideas.
Murder is definitely crossing a line. The line is called “murder” and you cross it when you assassinate someone.
Is it different if they are trying to have you killed? Like am I allowed to hunt my hunters?
sure but just saying “that assassin is a hero” isn’t.
he said he’d be a dictator on day one. If nobody manages to kill trump its proof that the 2nd amendment doesn’t work.
Can I get a lol with a side of smh?
This is democracy manifest! Can’t a man enjoy a succulent Chinese meal?! A succulent Chinese meal!!!
Ahh, yes. I see you know your judo well.
A Chinese meal? THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS!!
lol smh
Democratic regime manifest
Never thought I’d see someone unironically chant Democracy Manifest, but here we are
That’s less a look of “shame”, and more a look of “how am I even in the same subset of genetic distribution as this moron?”
My favorite part of the article is where the libertarians called Lincoln a tyrant who was rightly assassinated.
Very cool and normal.
Libertarians denounce Lincoln as a tyrant, then spill a gallon of ink praising Coolidge, Eisenhower, and Reagan for brutalizing Latin America and terrorizing American immigrant communities.
They don’t give a shit about Freedom and Liberty. They’re just white nationalists. They want to bring the old plantation system back.
Shows how stupid they are, the new plantation system is much more profitable than the old one.
Yeah it’s very telling that the president they hate the most is the one who ended slavery, and second place was the first black president.
Hey, now. They also really hate FDR and LBJ.

My bet is that they don’t care, since that’s clearly an opinion with no intent. Everyone has already been saying basically that when discussing the assassination attempt. Try adding one of the follow-ups:
Follow-up posts added: ‘The point of the second amendment is to shoot and kill tyrannous politicians’ and ‘encouraging politicians to be shot is legal under the first amendment. It’s part of what makes this country great.’
Those are even closer to the line (maybe even crossing it) than the initial tweet. This guy was still not arrested for any of it. The agents just feel mandated to act on tips or something.
Awww. There goes my trip to a black site :(
I’m not sure “Trump is a martyr” leads to the timeline you think it does.
It does…without his cult of personality I think the magats fizzle out and slink back into the dark corners of society
Maybe they find a new Messiah in Elon, but I don’t think he has the lack of intelligence to lie like Trump does.
Musk is at least ineligible to run for president
Tell me how martyrdom worked out for Mussolini
… what?
Velvet Elvis? Cool. Velvet Cheeto? Not cool.
Sorry, I’m lost
Elvis was Jesus-ified after death and tacky, roadside velvet Elvis art could be purchased and displayed to show your devotion to the King. Love of a musical icon is one thing. But, martyred fascists are not kitsch or cool. Either one will let you know what kind of a home you stepped into. Both would be in bad taste but one is so bad it’s good and the other is so bad, it’s baaaad. And not Michael Jackson bad.
Wait, so Che Guevara tee shirts aren’t woke? Well, fuck.
Ahhh. Got it
I mean these assassination attempts barely stick around the news cycle longer than other shootings and my guess is people are tired enough of him not to care. Hate crime incidence spiked when he won in 2016, so also.theres no version of this election that doesn’t lead to violence. May as well excise the cancer entirely.
Trump is going to be a martyr no matter how he dies.
I mean, look how they deified Elvis.

Fuck yeah, FBI party!!!
I disagree.
There’s probably a better argument that either:
-
Political assassinations (as a subset of misnamed ‘vigilante justice’) are never good and we shouldn’t reinforce that precedent, or
-
That person would be a hero to the planet and the future, not just present day America.
-
They won’t because this is a fact.
😇
Yes
Not nearly as edgy as that beard smear ^smeard? they’re sportin’ there. 🥲
Fuck that. I just want our law to apply equally so he would be in prison, like any of us would for the same crime.
The latest move of delaying the sentencing to 2 weeks after election is appealing. He announced he is running AFTER DOJ started investigating him and now judge is afraid to sentence it because GOP picked him despite being a convicted felon?
What’s worst is that if he wins the sentence likely will be a slap in the wrist, because they won’t want him for example using military to avoid jail. If he loses the election, then he will immediately appeal, and likely judge will allow him to remain free during appeal process.
We have two tier justice system.
I think he should be tried for treason. And if convicted suffer the full punishment for that. He is a clear and present threat to democracy. No one should be able to invite an insurrection and have it not be taken as seriously as it was.
Alas, we don’t live in that world.
Anyone who kills Donald Trump would be an enemy of the people, just like the other scum that fight to keep him from facing consequences for his crimes.
Enemy of the state, not of the people. ;)
Did someone hear something coming from the anonymous abyss? Real name and address and I bet you get your wish.
I’d get more attention from people here than the FBI lol
True, lol.
wondered what Bill Goldberg was up to, good for him
I don’t like this guy, but unless the FBI shows up with a search warrant or an arrest warrant, the FBI can piss right off.
Nah. If you post rhetoric online that might get someone killed, you get visited by the top brass. Clearly he doesn’t have to talk or let them in, but their visit lead to his posts being removed and now he knows he’s being watched and has been warned. If he posts something again like that, they may just get that warrant but now they may not need to.
It seems like a case of the government intimidating and harassing a guy (who is awful, no doubt) who seems to have done nothing illegal, based on the fact that he has not been arrested or charged with any crime.
Are we really okay with this?
I hate cops and all that shit, but how was he intimidated and harassed? He got the response he wanted and now he can wave his little dick around fascist land.
Just because someone isn’t arrested doesn’t mean they haven’t done something illegal. It’s called an investigation and you can be arrested at a later time. I’d prefer that to just arresting people, wtf.

Yes, we are. “Free speech” isn’t unlimited, and one of the limits is speech whose purpose is to encourage violence, aka. the “fighting words” doctrine.
So not only does he suck, but he did in fact do something illegal.
If he did something illegal – and I am not saying he didn’t – I am 100% in favor of the FBI showing up and arresting him.
You’re getting predictably trashed in this thread, but I wanted to thank you for bringing a small semblance of sanity to this ridiculous circle jerk.
Yes, I am absolutely okay with this. Violent threats and calls for murder are not protected speech, and there should be legal consequences for them. Free speech is not absolute.
Right! Legal consequences; arrest the guy, charge him with something!
But showing up to intimidate him and not arrest him? I don’t want my government doing that to me the next time I say something they don’t like.
It’s called being let go with a warning. It’s letting you know your threats are being taken seriously, and that consequences are coming if you don’t stop.
And what has he done since? Gone back online and said that killing Kamala Harris is constitutionally protected because of the Second Amendment… (It is not)
I hope they arrest him, because making terroristic threats is, in fact, a crime.
Nah, the person you’re responding to is right. Arrest the fuckhead. No warning needed.
Im honestly agreeing with you but this shithead could stand to actually face consequences. He made a threat and should pay for it.
The guy I was responding to wasn’t earnestly saying that the guy should be charged. He was making a bad faith argument that any law enforcement interaction that doesn’t include an arrest is unlawful. He’s making it seem like the police have no authority to speak to you without a warrant. I was informing him of what is actually happening, not saying he shouldn’t be arrested.
Threats against the VP are very illegal. He’s trying the stupid age old trick “someone else would be a hero” routine. To which I say the FBI showing up and saying that’s not ok is fine by me. Don’t know if they have to give him a warning or what.
I think that the post may be a violation of law and it’s just not being charged. It’s like pulling someone over for speeding, and giving them a warning instead of a ticket.
I’m perfectly okay with people in charge of protecting national security following up on threatening posts that may put the life of the VP in danger. I wouldn’t be okay if they forced entry or overstepped their power. I didn’t think following up like this is crossing any lines and is arguably the best way to handle something like this.
What do you feel would be more prudent, just to leave it be?
Now do Elon.
Didn’t the SS do that?
Oh geez…both sides love to throw this whole “Nazism” thing around…
?? Secret Service = Nazism? Since when?
The SS were an elite division of political soldiers under Hitler.
To be fair, I’ve never seen Secret Service abbreviated to SS.
Ahh then I guess you never worked a government job? They abbreviate everything as much as possible. I totally forgot about the SS Nazi thing and assumed it was Secret Service.
No I’ve never worked a government job. But you are right, they like to abbreviate everything haha.
Some would argue since the term Nazism was around but…
I meant secret service.
Waffen?
Secret service.
Don’t let nazis control parts of our language.
With the people Elon has been endorsing I think it’s a fair question.
Not everyone lives in The US and i thought the same.
Ohhh right.
Judging from the amount of kids he’s got, I think Elon’s been “done” enough.
Maybe Elon is getting to me, but … what compels assholes like this to say things like this and not do it themselves? I guess they need to keep away from actually doing it so that they can later claim they never were the ones to do it and that their joke statement was taken out of context.
It’s much easier to talk mad shit online when you’ve grown accustomed to the idea that there are no consequences for anything you say. They’re perfectly happy to let the consequences of doing fall to someone else.
I think being a coward is part of the persona
Love the expression of the guy on the left. Probably describes everything you need to know about the encounter.

Speedrunning into insanity much?
fart around and found out
Can’t you just imagine all those Libertarians sitting around in their nightly circle jerk talking about this? “I really showed those guys!” “You sure did!” <fap><fap<fap> “I sent them packing with the First Ammendment!” “You sure did!” <fap><fap><fap> “They were so embarasses!” “So embarassed!” <fap><fap><fap> “Then I decided to take the posts down on my own, not because they showed up!” “On your own!” <fap><fap><fap>
It sounds to me as though those two guys from the FBI delivered their message loud and clear. Doesn’t it sound like that to you, too?
It sounds to me as though you have weird fantasies about libertarians, lol
You’re projecting.
I’m not the one who wrote out a whole scenario involving a “nightly circle jerk” among Libertarians, complete with sound effects, lol.
