Ask yourself this: if anyone here made similar threats, how long do you think it'd be before we'd get hauled off to the Black Iron Prison?
Per Politicus & Daily Kos....
Trump claimed that Mitch McConnell has a death wish and appeared to try to incite violence against the Senate Minority Leader.

Is McConnell approving all of these Trillions of Dollars worth of Democrat sponsored Bills, without even the slightest bit of negotiation, because he hates Donald J. Trump, and he knows I am strongly opposed to them, or is he doing it because he believes in the Fake and Highly Destructive Green New Deal, and is willing to take the Country down with him? In any event, either reason is unacceptable. He has a DEATH WISH. Must immediately seek help and advise from his China loving wife, Coco Chow!
 
🙄🙄 someone needs to learn context and commonly used term when you are or have done something stupid with your job. Because I know a lot of people including me that people have understood perfectly what those words were referring to. But if you are a communist leftist then they don’t understand phrases when it’s a politician.


Actual physical threat from a politician.

 
One not a actual physical threat and one is a actual physical threat.
If someone acts on those threats, then it becomes just as real; people forget how powerful words can be.

That’s stupidity and you make sure stupid people who actually do stupid violent acts go away.

No, its making sure someone doesn't make a threat, whether direct or implied.

It’s attempting to weaken free speech and this post shows it when you know full well what he meant.

No, its holding someone accountable for what they said; you know damn well, my friend, if you or I said that, we'd be under the jail at day's end. But Trump says it and suddenly "muh free speech"?

To borrow a certain point, sir...

Free speech, you hold the person accountable for actually doing violence.

No we wouldn’t, it’s a common phrase used all the time. I’ve used it and I bet you have.

But Trump says it and suddenly "muh free speech"?




Anyone.
 
Free speech, you hold the person accountable for actually doing violence.
And when their words are tied to acts of violence, do they get punished too?

Words don’t make people act, people are responsible for their own violent actions so no. I believe in just about absolute free speech.

Anyways nothing in this original post had anything remotely for calling for violence, I gave a example of really calling for violence.
 
Ever heard of propaganda?

Oh yes, seen two years of it with people getting jabs, wearing useless things over there faces and thinking destroying businesses was going to protect us.
