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
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
To paraphrase all the words "Only country where this keeps happening, changes nothing, surprised that it keeps happening"
in Italy, for mafia trials, special protections for judges where put in place. Please USA, look at these examples.
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
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...
Lock. Him. Up.
To think anyone would kill for CheetoMan. I can't imagine the type of life they live

Thanks, I'm stealing this.
Steal away. Wish I could take credit for that, but it’s a callback

Y'all, please, we gotta stop pretending these guys are fat losers.
Right after 01/06 I was at a gun show and bought an old army canteen off a guy. 35-40, fit, military demeanor, all that. As I was walking off, another guy saw something that clued him in that the vendor was an Oath Keeper and they had a low-key chat. He talked about their preparations! Fucking terrorist.
My neighbor is still flying his Trump flag high. Proper flagpole, well lit, all that. Young man, fit, ex-military demeanor. I refuse to speak to him, and never will. No one else has an issue with this! They are meek and complicit.
His next-door neighbor was a former friend of mine. Again, 37 and fit as hell, but not military. First night I met him he told us his brothers were at 01/06. I gave the FBI what I knew, which wasn't much. This guy is a smart, reasonable man, and while not a supporter, still will not disavow Trump.
I'm 52, fairly fit, well-armed and practiced. I shoot every weekend at my camp for fun. Shotguns, various pistols and rifles, I shoot it all. I'm no expert, but I can shoot better than your average bear. If it came down to brass tacks, and we were equally armed, I seriously doubt I could prevail against any of those 3 men.
For the love of god, please get armed, learn safety and practice. FFS, the GOP front-runner is speaking more and more radically. He just called me "vermin" that must be eradicated. He's speaking of "internal enemies". He means you. And it's not just his usual inane rhetoric, look up Project 2025. It a fleshed-out plan to take over the executive branch and impose their will.
What the fuck will it take to get libs off their ass and prepare?! Harsh words and votes are not gonna suffice if Trump gets back in. I fully expect my neighbors to come knocking once Brown Shirts are authorized. Committee of Public Safety anyone?
"Look man, we understand you don't agree, and that's all good, but we gotta take your guns for your own safety. Trust us, you'll be OK, just hand 'em over."
Your country and your very life may be on the line soon. And yes, fighting back may mean your personal extinction. But that was in the cards anyway.
(Apologies OP! Just using your comment as a jumping off point for a rant!)
Cryptosporidium, forget kill for him, did you see that one dummy who took a bullet straight through the chest? She'd never even been to a government meeting before.
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.
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.

This man should not be in a position to inspire anyone.
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."
And I’ll bet he couldn’t be happier about it. That fucker needs to be launched into the sun.
If they come to his house with rifles, the judge will seriously consider checking that their safetys are on.
Not really doing his Jan 6th case any favors here either.
The only surprise is that it took this long.
Lock him up.
People are very eager to throw their lives into the volcano for him. My only question is why do people want to do this for a reality TV personality and a man who looks like a chimney sweep at the nacho factory?
If we were to drown Trump in a vat of his own diapers, it would make the world a better, saner place.
Barring that, I'd settle for him dying in prison.
