Strange that nobody in FBI or Trump Admin had a problem with the J6 terrorists who set up a noose for Mike Pence to kill him, brutalized police at the Capitol, hunted down Pelosi to kill her and were then given a pardon by Trump. Did this guy do anything like the J6'rs y did or just used words?
This is their probable cause to enact the insurrection act. We’ll all be martial law abiding citizens. Which sounds like the strangest Wheel of Fortune before and after.
There doesn't appear to be anything specific or actionable in that quote. Perhaps there's more, but it looks like someone blowing off steam and expressing frustration.
I mean, how many MAGAts fantasized about assassinating Biden, Harris, Obama, HRC, etc.?
By this logic most of us would be in deep shit.
If the accounts of this are true, that solely online statements were made, martial law really is right around the corner.
This seems moreover to serve as a bigger warning.
So this is how they go after regular Americans now? What about all the J6ers? It's OK that they actually DID try to take over the government? WOW! You are so f**ked America!
Hell, they’re even talking about “reparations” for the J6ers that were tried and found guilty. One guy gets a $63,000 bailout for video he took whilst in the middle of trying to overthrow the government
So, it's not illegal and unconstitutional to shred the Constitution and the rule of law on a daily basis and work to turn a democracy into an autocracy but mouthing off on an internet post about dealing with it is?
This case seems like a surefire loser in court, but that's not the point. It's to make all of us fear what we say and to stifle free expression and resistance to Trump's authoritarian takeover.
Going after people for stupid shit isn't even unique to Trump. Plenty of dumb ass shit like this during other presidents. There's a reason people always joked about being put on lists for saying totally benign things.
True, but ... DOJ probably wouldn't have moved this case forward any other time. More importantly though, the real issue with this case isn't about it's merit. It's about casting a chill on speech critical of President Tiny Dick.
So Trump says, “I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue & I wouldn’t lose any voters” & say he wants to shoot unarmed Immigrants-babies/children/teens/women/men in the legs yet he is living on our taxpayer 💸 in OUR W.H. spending OUR $3+Mil every weekend to⛳️👉🏼A 🆓Sociopath!
Things have gotten so bad though, there's no need to say any of this stuff out loud right? It's a tinderbox once you leave DC. The slightest spark right now and things could get Clockwork Orange faster than anyone could blink.
This is the 3rd arrest I’m aware of in the area. Two were 2 different men in Jupiter and another man was also from PBC but south of Jupiter. At least 2 of the 3 men mentioned bullets or someone should shoot Trump on Facebook and then arrested.
Yeah, this was a serious threat. NOT. What kind of moron levies charges over some dude mouthing off on the internet? And this is tame compared to some of the stuff I've seen from right wing commenters on some social media.
They are monitoring social media...
This free speach.. and DOJ abuse of power.
DT said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave to a live audience...
Wait, that's when we had a real DOJ, my bad
It is lawful When Nazi White Supremacist can gather and threaten folks, hiding their faces.
It isn't until they act that it is unlawful.
Charge is bogus bullshit
I remember sporkfoot MTG saying that, if she was in charge of J6, they would’ve won and the would’ve been armed. Are they prosecuting her for threatening federal officials too?
To be honest this isn't any different than that 4chan guy who got arrested for posting about how people should go and kill some cop he hated.
It's not really new or unique to Trump.
They're looking at immigrants' social media posts, so they're looking at everyone's, and since millions have posted varying degrees of what that man said (and yes, of course there are limits to free speech), I imagine anyone pulling a Kathy Griffin will be charged too. Still not at 100 days.

You need to act - and pronto ! - if you want to have a decent chance at checking the authoritarian power grab.
And with act, I mean in first instance - talk with others!
You can argue the comment was extreme, but if you needed any further reason to get the fuck off Google owned products, this is it.
If you've occasioned in comments on right wing videos before, you've seen the vitriol in reverse.
Fear.

I wonder how much alcohol consumption preceded the postings.
The Proud Boys worked as agitators during the BLM protests.
