Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?
-Henry II of England preceding the death/murder of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170.

This is exactly what Trump is doing

12th century stochastic terriorism was not something I expected to see today, but the shoe fits.

It's not "possible" it is literally a call for an attack.

She’s called for attacks on thousands of innocent civilians throughout her career. Let me find my tiny violin.

Whataboutism. Doesn't directly address the fact that Trump made a death threat.

Not denying it. I just don’t care.

Our biggest problem is the ruling class are too far removed from consequences. They murder and steal on absolutely massive scales, and no one sees any jail time.

I don’t support capital punishment. They should be imprisoned for life. But I also didn’t care when Trump got shot. I don’t care that Trump suggested a merchant of death face a firing squad. These people are not worth our worry nor sympathy.

If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t be here making this argument in multiple comments.

I don’t care that she was threatened. I’m confused that anyone would give a shit, after she’s spent her career devoted to death & destruction.

I can tell how much you don’t care by how you keep going on about it.

I care that anyone would feel any sympathy for that monster. They shouldn’t.

I care

So you lied multiple times until someone called you out.

You have a lot more in common with Cheney than you think.

Work on those reading skills, bud.

I don’t care that she was threatened. I care that anyone would sympathize with her.

Don’t blame me for your lies.

And if people have trouble understanding you, perhaps you should try to communicate more clearly.

Saying that something is a death threat is not sympathizing with someone.

Here's the quote in context:

“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building, saying ‘Oh gee, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’ But she's a stupid person, and I used to have, I have meetings, with a lot of people, and she always wanted to go to war with people.

You hate to see a person you despise make a great point :(

People can come to their own conclusion. I did not vote for Trump and I won't defend him, but I think the people complaining are ignoring the full context.

Can they arrest him? He's not the president right now.

They can arrest him. They should arrest him. They won't arrest him.

He was arrested. And tried.

The courts won't sentence him.

One might even suggest that such a death threat would violate his terms of release.
