Adam Serwer🍝 @AdamSerwer 1h1 hour ago

The President just issued a thinly veiled physical threat to a sitting member of Congress.











All the times Trump has called for violence at his rallies (2016)

"I'd like to punch him in the face."

"Knock the crap out of them."

"Maybe he should have been roughed up."

"Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it."

and have t-rump and cronies pay for it.

The President of the United States should be neutral and try and help fix the problem not create the problem and then fan it was gasoline, but alas, he's not president in my eyes but a thug, criminal and racist.

Get him out.

And vote!

he has had it in for her, he has bullied her before. Not right at all.

He's a fucking p grabber and wife beater, throw his ass in jail. Creepy republicans they can go down with him too, cowards hiding out and not saying anything they are career politicians and worried about their asses in November. They can go down in flames they haven't done one thing to help the American people. They are forgetting why they are there in the Congress. I hope they choke on that blood money.

Here's the quote: “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

...he's inciting the violence, instead of directly perpetrating it, himself.

Knowing the violent state of some of his rabid support base, this is a premeditated assault, especially given the threats he's already generated against Rep. Waters.

Why hasn't the SS or the FBI warned him about this?.

Go Maxine! She won’t be intimidated … I think most trumpsters talk bad-ass but are just big mouth chicken shits like “Duh” Fuhrer.

When (I have to believe this or I won’t get out of bed in the morning), orange moron chicken teeth is kicked out of office, hopefully with a prison sentence … we will have a party so huge it will make Woodstock look like a Bridge Club luncheon.

He says he did, U of Penn's Wharton graduation brochure says otherwise.

When some soft head dump supporter commits the violence, or threats of violence (See OP), you'll have the other half.

Saw a tweet the other day, sorry I can't remember by who, but it said something like his tweets reveal a very lonely person.
