    Plenty of people have threatened to kill Trump. I see threats every day. They say everyone is doing it.

    Yes, but will “the news” call bullshit, or will they continue to normalize the false information we’re being bombarded with?

    The new version of “swatting”: “Magatting”. Just tell ICE/Secret Service etc someone you don’t like said something mean about Trump.

      I just wish for it. I’m not killing anyone because I don’t live in a movie and know my limits. If I want to kill people I’ll join law enforcement and shoot unarmed mentally ill people inside their home.

    So what? We have plenty on non-immigrants that want him dead. His own diet wants him dead. This is a nothing burger.

    As part of the investigation, officials had contacted Morales Reyes and asked for a handwriting sample and concluded his handwriting and the threatening letter didn’t match and that the threat was not credible, the person said. It’s not clear why Homeland Security officials still decided to send a release making that claim.

    What’s “not clear” about it? They sent out a press release making that claim because they’re dishonest sacks of shit with an agenda, and that claim served their agenda.

    It’s not complicated or even surprising - it’s just standard operatong procedure for the Trump administration.

    I’m kind of really tired of liberal news outlets doing this. Let me make it clear for those of you in the back of the room: THEY DON’T CARE IF YOU CATCH THEM LYING.

    They don’t care about being hypocrites. Calling them out on it and shaming will not work on the shameless.

      It’s a method of normalization.

      You keep pushing the message … false, lie, exaggeration, rumor, suggestion, whatever

      Keep repeating and pushing the idea of immigrant terrorists and everyone will talk about it.

      Until at one point everyone will believe it.

      “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda attributed to the Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.

    Of course it fell apart. All these people do is lie, cheat, steal, and so on…
