So let me get this straight, a lady in Texas upsets an insurance company and gets arrested for threats. Someone makes, hangs, then posts this and it’s fine?
“threats”
the word threat is just used to hammer people you dont like now.
the texas lady was “threatening”
Apples to Tomatoes, but I lost my reddit account permanently because I said “If Trump was to do something insane, like start aiding Russia, thats how you end up with a dead president” and some snowflake took exception to that, and said I was making threats against his idol.
I was checking out at the grocery store the other day when the cashier wished me a Merry Christmas. I replied with, “happy holidays!“
She was visibly upset.
It’s beyond me why some people are like this.
Honestly I say that now, not because it’s correct but now to piss them off
I usually respond in Spanish as a white dude, the confused looks are priceless
I whip out my guitarra and wizard’s sombrero
Try Finnish next time for maximum confusion
I like the way you think 😉
Damn, my inlaws wanted xmas photos of all the family holding guns. They did this before. Even at the time i thought, “i dont think this conveys good will towards man” as well as you may think. I just wore my anarchy raccoon shirt :)
Somebody get this man his own hotline!
This is what mental illness looks like.
Are they threatening to lynch these people? It’s so fucked.
Will they be leaving out milk and cookies for when the secret service visits?
Happy holidays? Inclusive of multiple beliefs.
Merry Christmas? Well, Christ is right there.
Invoking the yule cat? Ominous, but not overly threatening assuming you receive some new clothes.
Invoking the yule lads? Well, that is a bit worse. Better keep a yule log burning through the night.
The Fauci hate from Trumpets is absolutely bizarre. Trump hired Fauci for his Corona virus task force. Trump could have fired him at any time.
Yes, but Fauci dared to use his expertise to tell trump he was wrong, instead of just doing everything trump told him to do.
That’s what’s hilarious and also scary about this whole thing. Trump, wanting to score easy points and get a quick win, read a sign about hospital cleaning procedures and stepped up to a podium and basically said “we’re looking into things with bleach and injecting light to cure the disease.”
And Fauci, doing his job, was like “please be safe, socially distance, and wear masks while we work to get a safe and effective vaccine.”
And people lost their fucking minds.
That was such an uncomfortable situation. I don’t remember the lady’s name, Susan something? Anyways, whomever was in charge at the time, he was trying to get her to agree that his insane ramblings was what they were actively working on and she looked like she just wanted to melt into the chair. You could see on everyone’s face that trump was a petty schoolyard bully, who would punish anyone who dared speak of reality instead of living in his own ignorant castle of lies.
Sacrificial scapegoats are foundational for fascist leaders.
You don’t need to be a Christian to question the mental stability of someone who decorates their home with lynched effigies of people they hate.
But saying 3 little words to a random call center agent is considered terrorism? Fuck our legal system.
It was the 2 words that came after those 3 that got her into trouble.
So I’m confused, is saying you want the elite to die something the right-wing talking heads are in favour of, or is it beyond the pale? Because they’ve gotten awfully inconsistent about this one in the past few weeks.
Only certain members
Isn’t there a hotline we can call now to report stuff like this?
You referring to Luigi? I thought even republicans were supporting him. (Voters anyway.)
The tweet in question came from a (former?) US Republican congressman. Derrick Evans. He was also there on Jan 6 if a cursory Internet search is to be believed.
It’s barbaric for sure, but isn’t that Christian behavior? For starters, they decorate their rooms with a replica of the mangled corpse of their savior. Same with any cross symbolism, really.
That’s Catholics. Christians use an empty cross to signify the resurrection. Either way, both use the symbol of Jesus crucifixion because according to the Bible, the crucifixion was the sacrifice Jesus made to provide forgiveness for a humanity that didn’t deserve it, the very definition of grace. Unfortunately the actual message appears to be completely lost on a lot of people these days.
Yeah, the “sacrifice Jesus made.” I think the Romans had something to do with that. Maybe we should be thanking them for killing Jesus to save us from our sins.
According to the Bible, as the son of God, Jesus could have stopped the crucifixion from moving forward at any time. He allowed himself to be crucified as one final blood sacrifice offering to God. That’s why Christians don’t sacrifice animals on the altar anymore, the way that the Hebrews did, because it is no longer necessary thanks to Jesus’ sacrifice.
Christianity is a weird blood cult.
They literally pretend to drink the blood of their god, and munch on his corpse.
Stop trying to make Christians sound cool
How is this not a threat? How is this not an act of violence?
How is it not terrorism?
Effigies are protected speech.
Kinda like when Kathy Griffith did a photoshoot with Trump’s head.
Or when I wear a shirt with Mario’s brother on it to the contact negotiations.
It’s just a joke! /s
is this a threat to conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism?
