Representatives Debbie DINGELL & Fred UPTON display their hate mail from Drumpf Deplorables

Last edited Sun Dec 26, 2021, 09:17 PM - Edit history (2)

Drumpf has been pegged as a Mob Boss, who “hints” vaguely at something, in code, which his underlings catch the drift of, and they carry out the “hint” as a command. While there are tons of other examples, writ large is his incitement to the Insurrection of January 6. Below are the “lesser” examples of hate speech traced back to his own hate speech.

The classic example is Henry II’s “hint” against Thomas BECKET,

“Will no one rid me of this turbulent/troublesome/meddlesome (pick one) priest?”

Whereupon, four of his serviceable knights promptly deciphered the code and carried out the assassination.

And, oh look, Wikipedia informs that Henry said it at Christmas, lest I be accused of violating the Christmas spirit here!

Rep. Debbie Dingell Shares Example of Abuse Since Trump Bashed Late Husband: ‘I Hope Your Family Dies in Front of You’

.... “You ought to get the fuck off the planet, you fucking foul bitch,” an angry male caller barked. “They ought to fucking try you for treason, bitch. … I hope your family dies in front of you. I pray to God, if you’ve got any children, they die in your face.”

Dingell, who took office in Jan. 2019, said she has been receiving a steady flow of similar voicemails ever since then-President Trump visited Michigan at Christmas time a few years ago, following the death of her husband Rep. John Dingell. Trump implied during a trip to Michigan in Dec. 2019 that the late Michigan lawmaker was “looking up” from hell.

“Once you’re in that Trump hate tunnel, you kind of don’t escape it,” Dingell said, adding that it’s something that she has grown accustomed to, yet shouldn’t be normalized. “I want the American people to think about what’s happening in our country,” she urged. “That this kind of hate, this fear, is happening in communities” all over.

Dingell appeared on State of the Union alongside Republican Rep. Fred Upton, who received a barrage of threatening messages after he voted in favor of the bipartisan infrastructure package in November. “I hope your fucking family dies. I hope everybody in your fucking staff dies, you fucking piece of fucking shit. Traitor!” an anonymous caller said in a message Upton shared with CNN at the time. ....

This is unfettered hate speech but I am guessing that trying down these types of calls is somewhat hard to do.

Should redirect all of these calls to djt, after all, it is his beloved fans. He loves hearing their voices.

Sadly, I think I’m going to lose her as rep in the next redistricting.

YES - Americans need to know about the disgusting, irresponsible behavior of these horrible people.
NO - MAGAts love hearing that they angered the Libs and "owned" them, however that's possible to do.

It sets an example for other MAGAts to go even further next time.

We need to make sure there isn't a NEXT time. Get the FBI investigators involved. The nasty texts, calls and emails should be traced and the people who make the calls should have their phones confiscated. (I know -- that will never happen.) But there must be consequences to this behavior, otherwise it will only continue and escalate.

I see these threatening calls, emails, texts, whatever as deplorable and would think it crosses a line legally.

I am a confirmed Agnostic, but these hate filled threatening idiots make me hope there really is a Hell because if there is it will be their final destination to spend eternity in. They are so ultra dumb and despicable.
