It’s actually illegal to threaten the president. It’s not protected speech.
And what are the consequences for Mr trump?
Based on his record, a few articles snd forum posts explaining what should happen, all of which will be ignored by the legal system, there won’t even be a baliff giving Mr. Trump a heavy slap, which seems apropriate with how Mr. Trump behaves.
Maybe a judge issues a $1,000 scolding and begs him not to do it again.
None, as always. He’s the embodiment of how broken the “justice” system is.
He’s the embodiment of how broken the “justice” system is.
Nothing broken about the (so-called) “justice” system. It’s working exactly as designed.
Court costs for appeals should be based on the net worth of the appealing entity. Trump’s entire strategy for business, politics and personal relationships for his entire life has been “my daddy left me a pile of money, so I can afford to sue you until the end of time, or you can just cut your losses and walk away now”.
Court costs for appeals should be based on the net worth of the appealing entity.
In other words, you are proposing to actually break the (so-called) “justice system” so that it cannot work as designed.
You do understand that the (so-called) “justice system” was designed to keep you under control while enabling the parasite class (of which Trump is a proud member) to essentially do whatever they feel like and has never existed for any other reason?
Yes. I believe that is what I said.
Okay.
But why only go half-way?

According to the headline, he is to be flattened.
Then slammed, and flattened again, and then kneaded, rolled, blasted, and risen. Then he’s gonna get SLICED.
A slap on the wrist with a soggy spaghetti.
He constructed it a little cleverly: Said that if it was a Republican, they’d be in the electric chair. I don’t think it was criminal.
Of course, he also openly tried to have his own vice president killed, and collects non-murder-related felonies like bottles for recycling, and at least so far all of that has been mostly okay of him to do, so I’m not sure how much it matters. 😕
Bruh the only politician who has been flattened in the past 24 hours was Ebrahim Raisi.

too soon. also… was he flattened? or is he more of a smear?
It’s schmear, we are civilized here.
Got a bagel?

No such thing.
or is he more of a smear?
More like a shit stain or a skidmark if you will.

It’s because they are righties posing as lefties or straight up from troll farms. The billionaire class along with Russia and China - all have a vested interest in seeing Biden fail. Trump serves their interests.
Don’t forget Israel. Netanyahu would love to get Trump back so he can show the world what a genocide actually looks like.
The tankie trolls don’t even realize they’ve gone full mossad. Useful idiots.
Bingo. And they think people are falling for that bullshit. More than likely what’s happening is they’re all just bullshitting one another without even being aware of it.
Sadly, the way the electoral college works, they only have to convince a few thousand people in key states and it could swing things hard. Trump has a basically bulletproof lock on his base, so this kind of Biden bashing is only going to pick up to try to sway people who likely aren’t paying that much attention. The right is throwing everything they can at this election. It’s worse than 2016 when Trump was a wild card. They are more organized and dangerous this time.
This is important. Our system is so fucked that the only votes that matter are a few thousand people in a few swing states.
Let that sink in for a minute. A few thousand people, in a country of 340 million, will decide if we have a boring, mildly effective hypocrite as president or a raging racist rapist bent on our collective destruction. I’m not telling people to stay home, every single person who is able, should vote for Biden. But 99% of our presidential votes are meaningless.
The electoral college has got to go. Reminder that the last republican to win the popular vote in a presidential election was George W. Bush in 2004, and that was almost certainly because of 9/11. Extreme right-wing ideas are not popular with the majority of Americans, but the system is set up so the crazies get to grab power anyway. Minority rule is the antithesis of what this place is supposed to be about.
it would be a shame if a bunch of conservative voters in those swing states just had sudden, untimely demises before the election.
That’s because they’re all bots.
Not as much. But I do notice you on every trump post insisting people are screaming both sides… and others taking legitimate criticism of biden as people screaming both sides.
But I do notice you on every trump post insisting people are screaming both sides…
“Both sides” is just one of those things centrists say when they know they’re wrong but don’t want to change.
Also my co-workers and conservative family love to say it whenever a Republican does something illegal or immoral. It’s a scape goat they throw out when they get backed into a corner and can’t face the fact that they’re wrong.
It’s exactly why Republican media spends so much time projecting. It’s a protective mechanism. If they can say the left is exactly the same kind of bad, even if it’s a complete lie, then you get to stick with the party you want to instead of considering changing if you do happen to recognize how bad they are.
“BoTh SiDeS” helps Republicans tremendously.
It’s what conservatives say to avoid responsibility for bad behavior, yes.
Funny. I call myselft a centerist and don’t do that. Progressive/leftists don’t consider me progressive leftist because Im not in lockstep with everything the particular leftist/progressive believes in and they are right. Im left of center which means im firmly a democrat as republicans are no were near center at all. If someone is saying both sides I don’t think they are anywhere near to center. Its like saying both sides with the ukraine/russia thing.
are you a moderate then? it sounds like you need a better vocabulary/better definitions of political actions.
in real terms im left of center so in american terms im super left and in republican terms im a no good communist .what I want is regulation, a progressive tax structure, and decent social programs.
so why would you call yourself a centrist, when you’re not?
when the extremes respond to you as being aweful what else can you be. I support biden and democrats because I have lived through republican in power and I would rather make small progress than go backwards. Again globally im left of center I would says.
Centrist means you favour the status quo, and generally obstruct progress. What you’ve described is not centrism, unless I guess your country already has those things.
And even then that’s a very literal interpretation of centrism, and not at all what it’s come to mean

But I do notice you on every trump post insisting people are screaming both sides
Another common tactic/fallacy is exaggerating the claim. Example: saying something “screams” about “both sides”. The bit about screaming is unneeded and is just added to make it easy to argue against it.
and others taking legitimate criticism of biden as people screaming both sides
That’s not the same and not what is meant as “both sides”. And again, people aren’t screaming. I’d maybe take your comment more seriously if it didn’t ignore things while adding a fallacy to discuss a common fallacy.
That you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. There are tons of people posting daily the bullshit about both sides. I’d name them, but then I’d be banned for it.
Tons of people urging others not to vote. Tons of people saying both sides are the same- because of a single issue. And one they barely understand.
Don’t confuse the insistence that people get out and vote, and the calling out of bad actors anything other than what it is- an attempt to prop up American democracy and keep us from having to endure another four years of dictatorship.
Some people go out of their way to not understand or not see something.
It’s like a free ride when you’ve already paid
Oh they see it. They just like pretending it’s not a problem.
Both sides do have legitimate criticisms. It’s very important to be critical of elected leaders.
But there are for more severe criticisms on one side than the other.
Both sides are not the same, but they are both corrupt. The message of “both are the same” needs to be more specific.
The right side takes away rights, the left helps people. That’s great! Only while the decisions cater to things wanted. They only do what will get them in office.
How corrupt is Joe Biden? The guy’s famous for being in the Senate for 30 years and never getting rich. Is he squeaky clean? I don’t know, but characterizing the situation as “both sides are corrupt” is close to disinformation.

And even then
You’re saying that the bullshit artist formerly known as The Senator From MBNA isn’t corrupt?
The guy who’s received more in bribes from AIPAC throughput his career than his current net worth and has to be dragged kicking and screaming to not participate in Israel’s genocide even as over 60% of the people who voted for him are against it?
The guy who, after decades of promoting Amtrak (the company, never its workers) and railway companies in general took away the constitutional right to strike from rail workers, forcing them to accept a deal almost identical to the one from corporate that they had already overwhelmingly rejected?
The guy whose infrastructure deal, which the party preposterously touts as the best bill against climate change ever, makes any new renewable energy generation contingent on expanding federal fossil fuel leases manyfold and gives away public infrastructure to for-profit companies?
The guy whose solution to police brutality is to throw more money at cops?
The guy who, as a successful and ambitious politician moved from Pennsylvania to Delaware, a tiny state that just so happens to be the most corporate friendly one in the entire country, the one where most major corporations are registered in spite of being physically based elsewhere?
THAT’S the one you’re saying isn’t and never has been corrupt? Fucking REALLY?
That he doesn’t officially have a lot of money for a successful politician isn’t proof that he’s not corrupt.
He could be stashing most of his money in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands or one of the growing number of US tax shelter states.
He could be bribable with relatively small amounts of money.
He could just simply be bad at saving.
Either way, there’s NO way that Biden isn’t corrupt as fuck. That’s just not possible given his words and actions of the past 50+ years and today.
Oh and before you hit me with the usual Trump whataboutism: YES the Mango Mussolini is much worse in just about every way, including the amount and blatancy of corruption.
That Trump is indisputably worse is irrelevant to how corrupt Biden is.
You know that political donations are not received by the candidate, right?
Of course they are, on what planet do you live?
Don’t play dumb. For most intents and purposes, the campaign IS the candidate.
The candidate might not officially be allowed to personally benefit from campaign money, but the rules are lax and enforcement moreso.
Add to that the fact that the success or the campaign is the success of the candidate and also that it’s a pay for play political system and it’s downright silly to pretend that a sizeable donation doesn’t amount to a bribe and/or that the corporations, lobby groups and (as in the case of AIPAC) foreign government propaganda arms don’t both expect and get more than their money’s worth in return.
Is there another explanation for Biden’s typical-for-a-professional-80yo net worth that may be more likely than webs of deceit, bribes, international money laundering, and influence peddling?
Like, what if he just wasn’t that corrupt? And he has mostly worked as a public servant with a working-class background?
what if he just wasn’t that corrupt?
Then he probably wouldn’t keep doing so many favors for the ones who keep giving him money.
he has mostly worked as a public servant with a working-class background
You’re naïveté is adorable 🤭
You forgot the part where Biden helped Bush sell the lie that invading Iraq was a good idea.
One uses a feather, the other beats you with a frozen chicken, but both are the same because they’re using poultry products.
“MSNBC Hosts Express Mild Disapproval for Thing That Trump Will Face Zero Consequences for Saying”
There, fixed the headline.
“MSNBC hosts… Oh nevermind. No one, left, right, or center, cares what they have to say on that network.”
Well at least nobody got slammed
He was flattened, but since his skin is made stitched-together whoopee cushions, he sprang back into shape as the gas built up.
What was he flattened with?
Flattened is what finally happens after you’ve been slammed too many times
Or POUNDED.
SLAMMED!
Slammed duh duh dut duh duh dut let the boys be boys
Yeah change the headline to pounded
Back in myyyyy dayyyyyy they were pilloried!
Keep slamming and it’ll be “pulverized”
Is he going to be grilled next like a delicious smash burger?
Flattery?
Applause

i’m so fucking tired
I wonder if the Secret Service has evaluated scenarios where a former president tries to assassinate the sitting president?
It’s probably not totally impossible given the history of humanity with kings and warlords and whatnot.
It’s not “tries to assassinate” it’s “tries to have assassinated”. Something tells me Trump couldn’t assassinate a stuff deer.
I bet he could take down a stuffed crust though.
This is more like “won’t somebody rid me of this troublesome president?”
If the Secret Service existed when Andrew Jackson was the President, we would already have had this figured out.
Fun fact, the secret service was around for almost 30 years before they started doing presidential security, and it took the assassination of McKinley before they were officially in charge of presidential security. They were founded as an anti-counterfeiting arm of the Treasury.
That is a fun fact. A personal fun fact is I remember that the Secret Service is part of the Treasury department because of the cult classic, Wild Wild West.
Edit: spell check
Life Pro Tip.
Never mention any movie with Salma Hyack without providing visual evidence.
Thanks for the assist.
It’s an honor to serve the cause.
Secret Service is party
That’s so art deco.
Corrected. Lol thanks.
Agreed!
Mildly verbally criticized = flattened
How about a headline where he is arrested, held, charged, tried, and convicted? All much more convincing verbage.
Authoritarian strongman makes veiled threat against political opponent, followers feign ignorance
In other news, the sky is still blue
Veiled?
Trump flattened
With a hydraulic press?
like and subscribe!
That is a terrible thing to suggest, how sick and cruel to treat a hydraulic press in such a way. Even in jest!
Right, there are proper tools for this job, especially the one invented by the french
Mmm, squishy
Just compare him to Hitler already and be done with it, pussy-assed media.
His base probably gonna take that as a compliment.
Sadly, said flattening does not seem to have included a steamroller.
REVENGE!
A rare Fish Called Wanda reference. Well done!
Thank you! I feel seen.
