Politically motivated violence thread

After carefully counting the zeroes, I'm pretty sure that's 282 Billion, not Trillion.

Curses! Correct you are, in my haste to criticize Bernie I got careless.

 

[2A_Tom]

Understandable.

 

[jamil]

That's some ratio he's racking up. The comments are great.

I was just happy to learn a new term. "Woke Castrati".

 

[2A_Tom]

That is a redundant phrase, castrati is sufficient.

Have you actually heard a castrati sing. Have you ever heard the Vienna boys choir, castrati candidate school.

 

[Dead Duck]

I fell off the fence and almost joined that group.
I don't think I've ever sung that high since then.

There used to be a Real Snob on the PBS station late Saturday evening that would try to dumb down his intellect to allow we mere mortals to understand.

Once he played an old recording of the last living castrati, made in around 1909.

I think I know what his INGO name is.

So, Bernie's tweet further down the feed says America's billionaires increased their wealth by $282,000,000,000 in the last month. That's $282 trillion. The wiki says there are 614 American billionaires, so that's an average gain of $459 billion in the referenced month. That's quite a return on investment

Do you even math, Bern?

Trillion, billion, million***they're such big numbers! A rush to judgement often leads to error.

Castrato is singular of castrati.

I wish they'd try.

I want to crush my enemies, see them driven before me and hear de lamentations of de wimmen.

*Looks at current political climate*
*Checks history book*

Yeah. Good luck with that.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

It didn't work out so well for the Cardassians, either.

Man Arrested For Making Threats To Kill Michigan Governor Could Face Up To 20 Years In Prison

Not sure what this guy was trying to accomplish. No one is going to persuade Nanny Whitmer to stand down, and online threats don't stop petty tyrants.

If he was in Indianapolis and made the threats against police officers he'd be okay.

Is 20 years normal for this type of occurrence or is it because she is an elite? A lot of people make stupid comments and/or threats everyday but you don't often hear of this type of reaction.

 

[actaeon277]

If she keeps threatening to lengthen the "stay at home" orders if people protest, she may find a few more people angry with her.
Maybe even, more than a few.

The article seems to at least suggest it's because she is an elite.

“We understand that these times can be stressful and upsetting for many people,” Worthy added. “But we will not and cannot tolerate threats like these against any public officials who are carrying out their duties as efficiently as they can. You can disagree with their positions or their methodology, but you absolutely cannot act as this defendant allegedly acted or you will be charged criminally.”

WTH?

The man, Robert S. Tesh, 32, was charged with false report of threat of terrorism, a felony.

A supposed "credible" death threat is a false report of threat of terrorism?

Hopefully the jury sees through the nonsense
