True story: In the early 90’s, I habitually used C-SPAN as a non-prescription sleep aid.

Tuned in each night, just before dimming the lights.

Never failed!

It’s probably too late to crawl back under his rock. Probably some milktoast hiding behind anonymity and now may have to expose himself as a little coward.

Happy Valley PA (aka State College PA) is in the geographic middle of the state of Pennsyltucky. It is a bastion of college liberalism that is an economic powerhouse for the surrounding areas, which otherwise would be poverty-stricken. It has always been that way, and this caller is not surprising to me, having lived in and outside State College for almost a decade.

After one of its hosts either ignored or didn’t hear an on-air death threat made against two CNN journalists

or slept through

Is this the source of your knowledge? Me - I just drifted off listening to, and still retain, a lot of popular 80’s - 90’s whale songs.

I did the same think when one joker threatened me on the phone. He was astonished when I found his cowardly ass.

Yeah, and I know the voice of the caller. The first name is Richard, Richie to everyone who knows him and his cowboy hat. This is not a slam on anyone who wears a cowboy hat. This is true and I know the asshole and he was married to my sister-in-law.

Putin and friends allegedly have directed assassinations of journalists and dissident scholars at home and abroad. His security services are willing participants.
The Intelligences services in the US seem much more reluctant to go after US reporters so that Trumtler is left with egging on his adoring mobs to violent actio to get the desired result. If any one is killed or injured, he will claim they brought it upon themselves by issuing fake news. He’s trying very hard to intimidate the press and he is dead serious, and I mean dead.
It’s straight out of the dictator’s handbook, Tyranny for Dummies.

Can you sue the sitting President for incitement of violence? Sure seems like an open and shut case. I mean the guy even called himself Don! I suppose saying he was calling from a golf course would have made it too obvious.

I am glad they reported the incident, which is truly reprehensible. But I would feel better if the Bundys hadn’t gotten off for actually taking over federal lands with loaded weaponry.

Pretty soon so many Trump voters are going to be felons, Republicans are going to have to rethink their voting rights positions.

We just drove through that part of PA a couple of times in the past week. I-80 takes you through some wonderful country, but man, we stopped not too far from State College and it’s interesting to watch how racism and ignorance play out. I haven’t had someone avoid handing me change like that in a long time.
