I had the misfortune of clicking a tweet and reading the comments of the compassionate left there. They were openly calling for the military to execute Trump. I do fear what will.happen if Trump is elected again. The peaceful protesters may decide a higher body count is needed to get their point across.Skyweir wrote: ... Ive not encountered that one yet.
Sounds like you need to distance yourself from your family, then, if they are going to act and talk like that.ur-Nanothnir wrote:In other news, my family has found out I am voting for Biden this year, and I was called a "nigger lover." I thought the right-wing was supposed to be tolerant of a diversity of opinion? Seems not.
Yes, it is pretty disappointing, and quite frankly shocking to hear that come from my mother's mouth. It all started over her ranting about the BLM and something about Pelosi or Biden (or both?) "bowing down" to the "goddamn blacks" (not the term used ofc) in a literal sense.Hashi Lebwohl wrote:

But wait ... there's more of the same!What to make of the DHS whistleblower's shocking complaint
Top Trump administration officials at the Department of Homeland Security repeatedly ordered subordinates to suppress or change US intelligence reports on critical national security issues - including election interference by Russia - so they wouldn't contradict the president or make him look bad.
That's according to an explosive new whistleblower complaint released by the Democrat-led House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday afternoon. The complaint was filed by Brian Murphy, who until recently headed intelligence and analysis at DHS.[link]
- That then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen repeatedly, and perhaps knowingly, exaggerated the number of suspected terrorists crossing the southern border into the US in official documents and sessions with lawmakers - despite having been briefed numerous times by Murphy that the numbers she was citing were not accurate.
- That DHS acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli told Murphy to alter an intelligence report detailing the high levels of corruption, violence, and economic problems in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to make those countries look like safe destinations for migrants, a judgment that would aid Trump's restrictive asylum policy.
- That DHS acting Secretary Chad Wolf, at the request of White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien, ordered Murphy to "cease providing intelligence assessments on the threat of Russian interference in the United States and instead start reporting on interference activities by China and Iran."
- That Cuccinelli and Wolf at different times instructed Murphy to modify domestic terrorism threat assessments to downplay the threat from white supremacists and add information on the prominence of violent left-wing groups like antifa "to ensure [the assessments] matched up with the public comments by President Trump."
Yes! He defends this action by SPOUTING CONSPIRACY THEORIES! Woot.Trump's HHS alters CDC documents for political reasons, official says
Trump-appointed communications officials at the US Department of Health and Human Services pushed to change language of weekly science reports released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention so as not to undermine President Donald Trump's political message, according to a federal health official.
The source said some federal health officials at the CDC believe the interference to be an effort to change communications by the CDC's scientists so as not to contradict the President. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Trump has repeatedly downplayed the significance of the virus, sometimes contradicting his own White House task force doctors.
In a statement to CNN, Caputo defended the actions and praised Alexander.
"Dr. Paul Alexander is an Oxford educated epidemiologist and a methodologist specializing in analyzing the work of other scientists. Dr. Alexander advises me on pandemic policy and he has been encouraged to share his opinions with other scientists," the statement read. "Like all scientists, his advice is heard and taken or rejected by his peers."
Caputo went on to criticize the CDC with conspiratorial accusations, saying, "Our intention is to make sure that evidence, science-based data drives policy through this pandemic -- not ulterior deep state motives in the bowels of CDC." [link]
Top HHS spokesman runs through conspiracies in video and claims without evidence CDC scientists are working to resist Trump
The top spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services issued an extraordinary broadside on Sunday against career government scientists, accusing them of "sedition" in their response to coronavirus and claiming without evidence that a critical federal health agency has a "resistance unit" against President Donald Trump.
... "And when Donald Trump refuses to stand down at the inauguration, the shooting will begin," he said. "The drills that you've seen are nothing." He also added, "If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentlemen, because it's going to be hard to get."
I do feel compelled to put the other side of the same coin forward, whenever such statements are made.Skyweir wrote:but meh ... Trump has an entire nutter following that think him they chosen, messiah etc
Now of course I don't disagree with that, WF.wayfriend wrote:No. You are not "swivel-eyed" for seeing a corrupt person as corrupt, an immoral person as immoral, a liar for being a liar, a thief for being a thief.
You ARE swivel-eyed if you believe anyone believing these things must be swivel-eyed.
You ARE a nut if you are promoting that Sister Teresa is evil. You're NOT a nut if you are promoting that Charles Manson is.
POINT: enthusiasm is not, in and of itself, indicative of mindless zealotry.

We will get annymous sources.
We will get whistle blowers.
All in the hopes that something sticks.
No. Your post strongly implied that they were lunatic because they "painted Trump as the embodiment of Evil." I reminded you that believing that an evil person (to wit, a corrupt, immoral liar and thief) is evil is not lunatic.TheFallen wrote:However, your statement does not relate in any way to my previous post, which simply asserts that both sides undoubtedly have their lunatic fringe. No more and no less than that.

Back-peddler.
Are you seriously claiming that either painting Trump as or believing Trump to be "the embodiment of Evil... or the Antichrist, if you like" - and those were the exact words I used in my post above - are acts of rational individuals? You think that's a rational level of degree to apply here?TheFallen wrote:Equally, the Dems have gone out of the way to court "an entire nutter following", because they have at more than one time quite pre-meditatedly painted Trump as the embodiment of Evil... or Antichrist if you like.
