For context: Stickermule sure had a hissie fit when Trump got grazed. But they sure don’t seem to have any problems with it happens to anybody else.

    Seems like a credible threat that could be reported to certain 3 -letter agencies to me. But what do I know?It’s not like their license plate isn’t fully viewable in this picture or anything.

      Especially combined with Trump saying “Off to the train station”. The “train station” is from the tv show Yellowstone. It’s code for where they take people to murder them.

        If y’all liberals don’t pull your head out of your ass and fight back, be it on your head when the trains start.

        I can’t find it now, but there was a really good article posted recently about how violence and terror is the sucker’s game, and empowers the right. Calling them weirdos and making it clear just how dumb their views is the way to go.

          When one person is willing to use violence, and the other is not, when they are in conflict, who will win? At some point words will not be enough. The Nazis didn’t lose in WWII from people being nice

            When it’s only a few thousand people in a country with 300 million, the only way it can last very long is if the people running the country want it to.

              Will i got news for you it’s not a few thousand people in a country with 300 million people. Its millions of people. The US has a fascism problem. Empowered by an entrenched political party that only cares about itself, not about the people

      There was a version of this with Biden months ago. It probably counts as satire and is protected by the 1st amendment guarantee of freedom of speech.

        The first amendment isn’t really a guarantee of free speech so much as it’s used as a foundation of how far speech will be tolerated— there are limits to the 1st Amendment. Sedition/treason, incitements to violence, fraud, and many others.

        But, since our justice system is punitive rather than preventative (for the most part), it’s best to keep in mind that freedom of speech in America does not always translate to freedom of consequences for that speech. You can (and many do) say what you want - and “speech” has been interpreted to mean many forms of expression - but you may find yourself run afoul of either a few restrictive laws or, worse, massive societal consequences.

          Tho it’s worth pointing out that threatening to kill the president is one of the most illegal forms of speech in the US. To the point that it could be illegal to say it alone in a room to yourself out loud

        Doesn’t mean it can’t be reported as a credible threat. An investigation will determine if it’s protected or that it isn’t. But that doesn’t stop someone from being put on a list, nor does it protect them from being investigated. Which is my point at any rate.
