He should be sued for slander

[–] [email protected] 112 points 4 months ago (2 children)

He should be imprisoned for terrorism.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

Amen to that. Where the hell is homeland security when shits like this (Drumpf & Fox) are spreading lies & slander that bring agitated unrest & death?

If he was a normal ass person he already would have been with all the Jan 6er scum

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (5 children)

problem is you could never prove beyond all reasonable doubt he didn't believe it himself

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (3 children)

That's because he really does believe it. If you listen to him say he heard it on TV it is the most genuine statement he has ever made. It's like a child telling you exactly what they saw on TV.

If you're looking for someone to sue it would have to be the "sources" Trump heard the information from. Unfortunately I'm confident those people understand the ruse. They know to say allegedly. They know how to utilize weasel words.

Oh man. "I saw it on TV!". Exact same intonation my 4yo used when he saw a "trailer" for Mario Movie 2 when actually it was just some junk a highschool kid threw together in iMovie. Totally belief and innocent ignorance.

It's at that moment I realized that Trump isn't just a useful idiot. He's the perfect useful idiot.

Like a part of me thinks that Trump might actually believe in Santa and that he looks an awful lot like that guy in the power tool show and sounds an awful lot like Buzz Lightyear.

Sounds like a candidate for a proper psych evaluation, then.

He has the best brain. The greatest brain. One time, for some unknown reason, he took a cognitive test meant for dementia patients. He supposedly passed but he claimed it was hard for him. Such a stable genius.

His niece, Mary Trump, knows him well and is a licensed clinical psychologist. She’s spoken and written extensively on his mental disorders (normally a psychologist won’t do that publicly, but she’s said he’s such a danger to the nation, she feels she has no choice).

She’s well worth reading and listening to.

I wish more of them would try to build bombs and find out it’s not so easy. ☠️

I'm glad our Government is Dealing with these Domestic Terrorist Threats so Seriously to ensure no Schools or Children are DESTROYED by these Right Wing Terrorists!

[–] [email protected] 59 points 4 months ago (4 children)

TBH it's odd that MAGA has not been classified as a terrorist group at this point.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's too big. It's like how Christianity is not classified as a cult.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

That's a very valid point.

How can you possibly think you are on the right side of things as you call in a bomb threat on a school?

I just don't understand how these people can think their tactics are morally justified.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They don't think that. They don't have morals.

"innocent people are having their pets eaten! I'm going to help by threatening to bomb the innocent people!"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, people make up bs, other people spread it, old guy embarrasses himself saying it on tv, bomb threats. I have to be missing a step here.

Honestly if you're going to be a terrorist why is no one bombing MaraLago. Seems like it'd be more productive

Wouldn't it be great if people in US reject this divisive asshole and were no longer agitated by random bs they here from people on tv?

Trump is nothing, he was never the problem. These cunts are.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's kind of like saying the lit fuse isn't the problem, it's the dynamite.
