Judge Arthur Engoron and his staff received a barrage of death threats and antisemitic attacks after Donald Trump targeted them on social media.
Somebody is going to have to die in order for nothing to continue happening.
“For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen.” -Douglas Adams
I love Douglas Adams, I literally just posted another of his quotes in this thread lol
Bold of you to assume any death would prompt action.

Did you read all the words?
I did now and I realize I’m an ass.
I love you.
I’m a bystander but I had to re-read it a few times and didn’t get it either … think my brain filled in the gaps instead of reading it properly
Our brain is very focused on matching anticipated patterns that you sometimes have those mishaps. By the way, that’s not a sign of stupidity, but a sign of relaxation: it means you are reading the comments as a form of stress relief.
I do that all the time 😅
To paraphrase all the words “Only country where this keeps happening, changes nothing, surprised that it keeps happening”
If it was literally anyone else, they would be in jail and only allowed outside contact through their lawyers
and only allowed outside contact through their lawyers
if at all…
If this happens one or two hundred more times there might be maybe serious sort of consequences!
But one death threat towards Trump and you got the mercaroids kicking in your bathroom door.
I don’t know why Trump is getting special treatment
I know at least a couple million, but probably not a billion reasons why
(But not really)
Lock. Him. Up.

Nah, let’s not inflict these monsters on the poor mentally ill people.
I wonder if there is such a thing as an asshole asylum
deleted by creator
Captures too many not-assholes and not enough of the actual assholes.
Well we don’t seem to be putting anyone in there these days, so I’m really not sure.
There is: it’s called Florida.
God, I wish.
Are there any islands left that we can use as a penal colony? I feel like we’re going to need an island.
Technically, everything is an island.
An island named Noman.
It stands alone
Send them to North Sentinel Island.
They don’t deserve that.
I hope you’re referring to the North Sentinelese.
I am.
I’m sure Alcatraz could be rehabbed for it.
Too small. Send them all to Antarctica!
Why did we give away an entire island to prisoners?

Someone needs to just make trump “dissappear” already
He is a threat to human rights and equality
I’ve often wondered why it seems only the progressive people working to make society better for all get assassinated.
Because the chances of someone who disagrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic is much higher than someone who agrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic.
And why is that?

There’s also the fact that the CIA really doesn’t seem to want the workers to get too uppity - that’s bad for business.

Empathy. Being able to see circumstances from a different perspective and appreciating how that makes the other person feel. And then not wanting to hurt the other people. Empathy, not selfishness.
Those sound like the types to have well-funded enemies unfortunately, on top of the more violent tendencies of the right.
Because the people who would disagree with a bad person are generally good enough people that they wouldn’t kill someone. If a bad person disagrees with a good person, all bets are off.
There is no “deep state”
after Donald Trump targeted them on social media.
…while, as a former president, being protected by the Secret Service at taxpayer expense.
That just ain’t right.
It’s as if saying “will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest” is a time-tested means of getting meddlesome priests murdered, and somehow it’s still effectively legal for the Trumps of the world to incite that kind of violence. It’s also as if America’s justice system plain doesn’t want to hold wealthy or powerful people accountable
This man inspires the wrong people.
It’s not just him. It’s the whole right of the spectrum right now. Here in Canada the head of the opposition in parliament tweeted a wanted sign on two senators. One of them in Cornwall, Ontario. This is growingly a radical element of shitheads that are ruining the world for the large majority.

One of my favorite quotes:
“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
Gotta cite it – Douglas Adams. (Didn’t have to even look it up, it’s one of my favorites too)
I think it’s most* want, not must want.
He inspired me to never be like him.
This man inspires people the wrong way.

“alright now I’m gonna turn around and count to ten, and when I turn back around you boys better have those safeties on or I’ll be really upset with all of you”
Probably ordered by Trump himself.
You all saw it!
oh who could ever have seen this coming

I would say that something slower and more painful is in order, but he’s old, and frankly, expediency benefits us all at this point.
What do you have against the sun?

Any of the gas giants or their moons would also suffice.
Not really doing his Jan 6th case any favors here either.
The only surprise is that it took this long.
Lock him up.
