The framers of the Constitution had "a President like Trump" in mind when they set up the system of checks and balances that you seem to want to dispense with in favor of autocratic rule.
True patriots are glad to see the courts prevail over want-to-be Dictator Trump.

"Kings" take away the people's rights by saying, "It's an emergency!" It's the oldest trick in the book, and we won't be fooled and neither will our courts.

When it isn't targeted it may not be considered unlawful. That's why you should add a category of "Post supporting violence" or something similar. CC: @support.bsky.team 2/

Great comfort? I live a simple life, but are we valuing opinions based on comfort level? Do we have to be physically uncomfortable to care?
Correct, it's not my job to judge you. My only job is to care about you enough to point out the dangers of violence vs. going the path of MLK and Gandhi...

So you deny the power of what both MLK and Gandhi did WITHOUT violence.
Violence only creates more violence. What you send out comes back.
That's spiritual law, which operates whether you believe in spirit or not... Just as gravity operates without care of what we think of the law... IMO. ;)

I “like” that you appreciate my concern for your well-being. ;)

If you don’t mind, I’d prefer to address the wrongs of the opposition w/o killing them. ;) 3/

Elon Musk is essentially a sadist who feels no qualms about inflicting pain on other human beings. The way you do something is important. And you need to go through Congress to cut an entire agency, because that’s what the Constitution says. 2/

I didn’t say “simply,” you did. I have posted on the cruelty of mistreating federal employees who have moved across the country to serve the people (“take 15 minutes to pack up”). I have commented on how HHS Sec Kennedy is harming and even killing children in Texas by recommending quack remedies. 1/

Trump will be known in the future as the worst President we've ever had, but we cannot shift, even in thought, to mimicking the insurrectionists, who advocated for and then used violence to attempt to destroy our Democracy. 5/

Adding to what the other poster said, I would consider writing a note to say you wrote this as a joke, and then delete the whole thing. Avoid the knock on your door, followed by entry of a government swat team. They tend to overdo it, when they show up. 4/

The other issue is what you are putting out there in terms of our societal consciousness. Do we want people to think of killing "the other side," when we disagree? That's what you are supporting, at least at the level of thought. The masters agree that thought is the beginning of all misdeeds. 3/

It's just a joke? You should consider Kathy Griffin. I think she was unfairly investigated per the law, but she nevertheless suffered a variety of negative consequence, including devastation of her career, abruptly canceled shows, big legal fees, and death threats. Is it worth testing the law? 2/

The case you cited that supports your right to "wish harm on the POTUS," could be interpreted in the context of the rest of your remarks as inciting violence against him. You are indirectly asking other people to commit the act for you, which could be seen as conspiracy to kill the POTUS. 1/

Funny, land it's true that Trump advocated for violence as long as it served him, but #Democrats should stick with the #Gandhi and #MLK way. Massive peaceful protests and work strikes etc. The Tesla boycott is working! No need to burn cars etc.

He meant if it was legal. Trump is seeing pushback in multiple lawsuits. But yes, both parties have overstepped, but Trump's overstepping is way over the line...

Or "too trans." I agree. If a transwoman wants to go fight our enemies and keep the world safe, I say let her!

Have you covered Musk's past in detail and his metamorphosis into a tyrannical Republican from a Democrat? He changed parties in 2022, claiming the Democratic party had become the party of "division and hate." Hmmmm sounds like the #GOP actually! 2/

We need to see a March on Washington in support of the US Constitution. The irony that it would be needed while fascists, I mean #Republicans, were in control!

I said Trump was the worst President in US history, a goal he achieved well before the end of his first term. ;)
He's now shooting for a new level of "bad."

That is how Trump activated so many haters who became his followers. When the left attacks and hates Trump openly, the right rushes to defend their guy, and that simply strengthens Trump's following.
Hate backfires. 6/

Hate has a bad side effect, which is to activate the hate of the other side. Far left haters get the far right MAGA excited to oppose them. Anger brings humans out of apathy, grief, and fear, as it is above it on the emotional scale. So they feel more alive hating than being depressed. 5/

One of my spiritual mentors once said, "The degree to which we hate one person limits the extent to which we can love another." You can love the "true Self" of every human being, even while realizing some of them belong in jail. 4/

And I would have left uplifting, loving, and positive books in his cell for his sole entertainment. ;)
In the same way, I wanted Trump to go to jail to send a strong message, because the evidence was clear. I don't hate him, but he belonged in jail. See the difference?

The way spiritual law/God's law works is karmically IMO. I don't have to sit around wishing Hitler ill will. As a person sews, they will reap, independent of my thinking about them. I would have incarcerated Hitler in solitary confinement for life, a far greater punishment than his suicide.

Depends on the ill you are talking about or how you define it. I would only pray/wish for justice, and I'm against capital punishment except for those who kill in jail. In that case they are like rabid animals, and what's done with them? You cannot risk harm to other human beings in those cases.

It's so sweet you are so concerned about the health and wellbeing of the President! ;) (although I won't wish illness or worse on any human being, I find Trump's character and policies to be repugnant)

Then let’s take away Trump’s protection right away and see how he likes it. The threats are due to Trump’s lack of enthusiasm over vaccines, and others like DeSantis who hired a fool for his health advisor.
