    But showing Trump in a casket is not a joke to these people. They’re speech is worth less than free.

      I’d rather show him lying dead in the street, in a pool of his own blood. Hogtied for extra snowflake reaction.

      It wasnt a joke. It only becomes a ‘joke’ when there’s backlash or potential legal implications.

    One of those “I’m joking” but not really jokes. -I hate those. It show’s a lack of self-awareness on those that make the claim.

      It’s a joke when you’re either upset or horrified at the statement… it’s like asking someone for a blow job, it’s a joke depending on your reason…Had a vocal group said that’s fine, kill the reporters telling inconvenience truths, he’d have done nothing to stop it, I bet.

    You can’t do that.

    You’re an government official, not someone tanking a Tuesday-noon stand-up gig. If you want to be “funny” and intimate violence toward political opponents “as a joke”, quit and pursue that comedy career you’re tripping over yourself to practice.

    We can’t keep letting public figures say insane shit and walking it back “as a joke”. You shouldn’t be able walk anything back. If you want to recant, it’s an official motion you have to make and you’re fined regardless, if it was a threat/incitement to violence or slander/libel.

    They should be afraid of the words they use because those words have a greater effect than the average person.

    Sounds good. This is why I don’t care when Conservatives reciprocate the violence they put out there. Thats how Karma works. You get what you sow.

    The republicans are such liars. Like project 2025 was just something randomly floating around and they weren’t serious about it yet here they are doing most of it. They’ll beat up journalists soon enough.
