He’s lucky he’s a Republican… that kind of talk from a Democrat is not tolerated

Isn’t this essentially what that Coast Guard member threatened to do a month or two ago?

Three years?! WTF? Was someone waiting to see if he actually made good on his threat(s)?

2,000 calls? If he wanted to get arrested so bad all he had to do was call and ask for Trump’s tax returns. THAT is treason.

Okay…someone has to pose the traditional question. If he had been Black or a Muslim ,threatening Republicans…would it have taken 3 years to arrest him?

1999 threatening phone calls were sort of tolerable. But that 2000th call really crossed the line.

He’ll probably get a pardon, a few guest appearances on Fox News and a book deal to explain why he’s somehow the victim.

I’m joking, of course, but it’s 2019 and Trump is President so I’m putting that possibility out there so we’re not that surprised if it does happen.

Don’t be silly. Would never have been arrested.

Would have been shot on sight.

OOOOhhhhhh. It was rhetorical, but someone had to pose it.

I thought that guy had only made a list, and not made over 2,000 phone calls.

In my lifetime, I have seen those who make death threats (and the smaller subset of those who actually carry those threats out) come from across the political spectrum. But the number who are Trump supporters seems like an order of magnitude (at a minimum) larger than any other category we’ve seen in the past. This fact alone is abundant evidence that Trump is provoking stochastic terrorism with his verbal incitements.

Has there been any credible statistical analysis of this phenomenon?

Will he use the “just joking” defense? It’s very effective for the president.

All any government agency has to do if they want a black or Muslim person out of the way is have someone follow their car. Pull them over for failure to signal a lane change. Then shoot them for a sudden, furtive movement construed as reaching for a weapon. Damn few juries will convict, if it even gets to that stage. Frankly I fail to comprehend why the government even tolerates dissent, simply murdering their opponents is so easy.

Seriously, I get tired of knowing the race of any given gunman simply via the headline “captured” vs. “killed.”
