'Somebody is going to have to pull a trigger' to stop Trump prosecutions: Fox News guest

Retired Major League Baseball pitcher-turned-right-wing commentator Curt Schilling told Fox News host Jesse Watters on Friday that "somebody is going to have to pull a trigger" in retaliation to the criminal charges that were filed against former President Donald Trump by United States Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith.

"The problem is Jesse, you know, if you look at, you know, I love coming on this show. I love talking to you. I love what you've done, what you're doing with your voice, but the fact of the matter is, you know, I'm tired of listening to Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz and Dan Crenshaw and these people talk. Talk. Talk — that's all they're doing. They're talking," Schilling crowed on Jesse Watters Primetime.

"We're up against a side and a force that doesn't play by the rules, refuses to play by the rules, just look no further than the unconstitutional thing going with former President Trump and we're not doing anything about it. We're talking about it, and we get excited and we get emotional. That's it," Schilling carped. "They break the law and they do the things they need to do to ensure their agenda is driven forward and we're watching them gut our nation from the inside out. And I don't know where the rubber is going to meet the road because it's a true sacrifice. mean, you look at the guys, the young men that signed the Constitution and all the things that they sacrificed everything to come out from under a tyrannical government, and then eventually at some point, there was a man at Concord who decided he was going to pull the trigger. And I feel like we're getting back to a point where somebody is going to have to pull a trigger because everything we hold dear, everything this country was founded on is being just dragged through the mud and mocked and made fun of. This country was founded on Godly principles. No matter how offensive that is to the left, it's true."

What fucking rules are you talking about Shilling/ Watters......your "guy" is getting off pretty easy right now, you two keep forgetting that he really was the leader of an insurrection and people died during after Jan 6, 2020, and he also if you two pin heads think about had Russian spies in the Oval Office having a fucking laugh and he gave up a US asset that there was treason, or did that fucking slipping your mind..... .

If it was me I would have his treasonous ass in jail.....eating peanut butter sandwiches and remove the secret service detail, show the mug shot with his fucking inmate federal number being held with his small hands right under his worthless treasonous chin and then to have it taken, the mug shot picture four or five days after he has been in jail, so that his comb over looks like the character Buford "Biff" Tannen from Back to the Future after a truck load of horse shit got dumped on him, take away his passport, confiscate that fucking plane that he flies around in, and use that for his bond money, put a new lock and key on the property in Florida and put yellow tape around it with the words "crime scene" no admittance for starters and then head to Bedminster and do the same fucking thing there .....and then head to the fucking New York tower and do the same thing there and use that for bond money......

1. Schilling proves himself to be an idiot.

[chicoescuela]

23. He has always been a dick

[Hotler]

67. Grab your gun Curt and take the lead you fascist asshole. Prove your fealty to the orange one.

It's easy to talk shit behind the comfort of a studio microphone.

[republianmushroom]

25. Yep

[LymphocyteLover]

53. he's an idiot but this is very dangerous talk

[Jack the Greater]

64. Is Kurt going to be the hero and pull the trigger...

... or is he just going to goad some mentally unstable nutcase into doing it?

[Ocelot II]

2. Right-wingers do more projecting than Bell & Howell.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

20. +1

[AllaN01Bear]

39. hem. havent heard that company name in a while .

[Tess49]

40. LOL!

[LakeArenal]

3. There have been way too many triggers pulled you ass.

It’s not Biden supporters pulling those triggers either.

Listen Curt, don’t urge other people to do your dirty work. Get out there and pull your own trigger and see how much Fux supports you then.

See you in jail.

Edit to add: Curt ain’t no drag queen.

[MagickMuffin]

11. Ain't no drag queen, but he sure is a drag

A drag on progress

A drag on religious freedom

A drag on Reality!


Curt Shilling is a Major Drag on Humanity

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Dog whistle to a lone wolf.

Works a lot, going by history and current events.

[Shermann]

5. Maybe we should call it a wolf whistle? nt

[gratuitous]

6. Facts, logic and reality are all against you - might as well resort to violence

It worked out so well for you and your ilk on January 6.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

7. "the young men that signed the Constitution "

[ms liberty]

8. There's a reason why he isn't in the Hall of Fame...

He has the numbers, but he's always been a major a**hole.

[Bayard]

9. Sounds like a threat to me

He needs a visit from the Secret Service.

[Pinback]

38. +1. Or the FBI. (nt)

[crickets]

56. How about both? Both is good. nt

[Duppers]

44. +1000

[NowISeetheLight]

10. Unconstitutional?

So staging an attempted coup, inspiring an attack on the capital, trying to overthrow the constitutionally prescribed transfer of power, stealing nuclear secrets, that IS constitutional?

[Mr.Bill]

16. "Unconstitutional" is their default position

when they can't put a coherent argument together.

[Mister Ed]

30. Exactly. They never, ever point out what part of the Constitution is being violated.

And they've never read a word of the Constitution, except for the second half of the Second Amendment and the first three words of the preamble ("We the people", which to them translates to "we right-wing whackjobs" ).

[bucolic_frolic]

12. The Constitution allows us to change governments peacefully. With elections.

These right wing whack jobs are just pissed that their dark hopes aren't popular.

[Varaddem]

13. Why wasn't he arrested?

Put him in jail and interrogate him tomorrow. Who is he talking about killing?

[Botany]

14. Pure gibberish: "We're up against a side and a force that doesn't play by the rules ...

..... just look no further than the unconstitutional thing going with former President Trump."


Please tell me what rules "they" have broken, or how stopping the Constitutionally mandated ratification of
the E.C. by your side wasn't unconstitutional?

BTW Schilling's knowledge of the history of the American Revolution is pretty damn week.
"... there was a man at Concord who decided he was going to pull the trigger. BTW the 1st
person to take a bullet for our freedom was a black man who died in Boston not Concord, and
he died in early March and the battle of Concord was over a month and a half later. The man
was Crispus Attucks.

[ITAL]

27. Boston Massacre was in 1770

Not 1775. Three men died immediately, so it's no clear that Crispus Attucks was THE first, but he was definitely in the first trio. Two others died of their wounds shortly afterward.

[Botany]

35. Thanx .... I knew it was before the Battle of Concord but I didn't know it was 5 years before.

n/t

[edisdead]

65. you know... The unconstitutional thing.

It’s the thing dummy. Everyone knows that!

[ProfessorGAC]

15. You First, Curt!

You pull the first trigger. When the cops make you weigh an extra 2# from all the lead, the world will be a better place.
BTW: I'm still convinced he was a steroid cheat.
Picked up 3mph on his fastball & 5 inches of movement on his slider AFTER HE TURNED 33? Nope. Not without 'roids.

[Takket]

28. You nailed it.........

none of these stochastic terrorists want to have their blood spilled, but they cheer with glee when they get someone else to die for them. It is disgusting.

[Grasswire2]

18. no on the peanut butter

He gets the bad balogna everyone else does.

[Chili Pepper]

29. Judging by all the report on what he eats

He may actually enjoy food like peanut butter and bologna. Make him eat a plate of vegetables every day and it’ll be his living hell

[usonian]

19. Godly principles?

Try these on for size.

• Tell the truth
• Kill nobody
• Love others like yourself
• Give to the poor

you probably know the rest

[Boomerproud]

41. Thank you. Reading this garbage made my blood boil.

They always invoke God. Yeah Curt., see you on Judgement Day.

[usonian]

45. Peace!

Idiots project their weakness and fear onto others, and even on their "God"

From "Othello" (the opera)
Credo in un Dio crudel che m'ha creato simile a sè.
Iago, of course.

I believe in a cruel God, who created me in his image.

As always, the fools have created a God in their own miserable image.

Surprises in store for them.

recycling another post:

This is from the epilogue of "Stamped From the Beginning", by Ibram X Kendi.
Emphasis mine:

Protesting against racist power and succeeding can never be mistaken for seizing power. Any effective solution to eradicating American racism must involve Americans committed to antiracist policies seizing and maintaining power over institutions, neighborhoods, counties, states, nations—the world. It makes no sense to sit back and put the future in the hands of people committed to racist policies, or people who regularly sail with the wind of self-interest, toward racism today, toward antiracism tomorrow. An antiracist America can only be guaranteed if principled antiracists are in power, and then antiracist policies become the law of the land, and then antiracist ideas become the common sense of the people, and then the antiracist common sense of the people holds those antiracist leaders and policies accountable.

And that day is sure to come. No power lasts forever. There will come a time when Americans will realize that the only thing wrong with Black people is that they think something is wrong with Black people. There will come a time when racist ideas will no longer obstruct us from seeing the complete and utter abnormality of racial disparities. There will come a time when we will love humanity, when we will gain the courage to fight for an equitable society for our beloved humanity, knowing , intelligently, that when we fight for humanity, we are fighting for ourselves. There will come a time. Maybe, just maybe, that time is now.

Don't let the bastards distract you! That is their number 1 strategy.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

63. Why do you think he would be turned away?

Maybe he's following the parts of the book that are the proper ones.

I mean, it's not like the book doesn't contradict itself all over the place.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

62. I imagine he's all in on the part about permanent torture

For those who disagree with what that religion asserts.

Strange how so many people want to pretend that particular evil isn't a foundational principle of the religion.

[PCIntern]

21. I'm ashamed to say that I rooted for this prick

when he pitched for the Phillies.

I will say as a lifelong Philadelphia Phillies fan that even though that 93 team went to the World Series, I hated that Crass, stupid, redneck attitude that they had. Most here thought it was great and funny, I found it repulsive. I was not even that upset when Joe Carter hit the home run to beat them in the sixth game in Toronto. No bullshit.

[FakeNoose]

36. I know what you mean - we had Barry Bonds playing in Pittsburgh in the 90's

We cheered when he won a few games for us, but we also cringed whenever he got interviewed on TV.
I don't think Bonds ever got political but he's been a major asshole for most of his life.

[Iggo]

60. Hey, I rooted for Clayton Kershaw 'til a couple weeks ago.

I didn’t know. But when he showed me, I believed him.

[GoodRaisin]

22. I guess star baseball players can also be stupid people when they're not playing baseball.

This one is sure stupid. Geez…he’s a fucking idiot.

[Lonestarblue]

24. I wish he could be arrested for fomenting violence. He is calling for some willing MAGA idiot to

murder people and start a civil war, whether that is Jack Smith or Garland, or just any Democrat. JFC!

[MOMFUDSKI]

26. Does that not

cross the line? Thought one could not yell FIRE in a crowded theater? WTF

[CaptainTruth]

31. Totally brainwashed. The radical right is totally brainwashed...

...by the rich & powerful right-wing propaganda machine.

I truly believe it's one of the biggest threats to our country today.

[3825-87867]

32. Is Curt Schilling a good example of a Major League Baseball Star?

Curt Schilling came up one vote short in 2022 of being admitted to Baseball's Hall of Fame. That was his last chance for being voted in. However, he could still be admitted through special committees.

Maybe Major League Baseball, Baseball Writers and Baseball Talk Shows should be informed of his views?

Not the kind of guy I want in sports for kids to look up to.

Just a thought.

[Septua]

33. "We're up against a side and a force that doesn't play by the rules, refuses to play by the rules...

"What fucking rules are you talking about Shilling/ Watters.."

Exactly. The "rules" were thrown out by Trump and team before election day, 2020.

[Warpy]

34. "Pull a trigger?" There is no trigger and I don't see anyone who is capable

of pulling one if it even existed. I suppose he thinks the USSC can stop it, but even they can't stop investigations. Or maybe he just envisions all the gunloons arising and pulling a lot of triggers and killing off the majority of people who live in this country, not realizing some of those gunloons are on the other side and would shoot back.

Schilling has always been worthless, now he's a vicious wackadoo with a big megaphone.

[LymphocyteLover]

52. he means people with guns-- rightwing terrorists, revolution

[Joe Nation]

37. Dylan pointed out the bravery of people like Schilling

"You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud."

[ancianita]

42. We are witnessing the lingo of the insurgents of 'rule of men" upon Rule of Law.

Post Dominion suit, FOX and their MAGA 'celebrities," use the ongoing strategy of "attack then retract" -- attack, then retract; then fire producers for doing just that -- just so that management doesn't face a defamation suit again. It's the grooming of a public totalitarian culture.

Behind today's totalitarian insurgency is the oligarch messaging of the Nixon claim: when the president does it, it's not illegal.
The unified executive claim -- not "theory" -- is that a president can force all cabinet officials to do his bidding, including who the DOJ and FBI should "investigate" and indict.

Behind that today is the totalitarian retribution lingo behind "rule of men," not Rule of Law.

We know to Never ever fall for right wing lingo. There are no "theories" or "doctrines," as Sheldon Whitehouse has made clear. There are only academicized think tank messages from oligarchs, and the FOX bag man syndicate is their mouthpiece.

It's how they abuse the First Amendment, then taunt anyone to prove malice when they do.

[The Jungle 1]

43. What 1/6 proved

1.These slap dicks couldn't possibly pull off a organized revolution. They have the depth of a piece of paper.
2. They are to stupid to understand we have bigger and better guns and soldiers. We won the election. We control the military.

Go ahead pull your trigger stupid. If the cops don't kill ya we will put you in jail with the rest of your dickweed friends and trump.

Hey rocketman this country is based on freedom of and from religion! Quit making shit up, shitlling.

[SammyWinstonJack]

47. That's some serious word salad non sense projection bs.

[PortTack]

48. K..so stop this indictment, the one coming in GA and the J6 indictment coming....sure

[AllaN01Bear]

49. nonsenseical.

[Fullduplexxx]

50. The rules are what got your dear leader where he's at and the constitution says we're a nation of

Laws not men

[kevink077]

51. These nuts are basically encouraging terrorism

Taliban like

[FDRFTW]

54. Is this not illegal?

[TxGuitar]

55. First, f*ck this guy and his fake bloody sock

Second, wth is this supposed to mean: "you look at the guys, the young men that signed the Constitution and all the things that they sacrificed everything to come out from under a tyrannical government, and then eventually at some point, there was a man at Concord who decided he was going to pull the trigger"? No "young men" signed the Constitution, and Concord happened quite a few years BEFORE they Constitution was signed. What an idiot. I cannot stand this guy

[Aviation Pro]

57. Schitling, you

Will never be admitted into the Hall of Fame.

[Cha]

58. Fuck your STUPID SLEAZY MURDUROUS

PROJECTIONS.. Shilling FOR TRAITORS.

Apply named SHILLING!

[Cha]

59. Oh And, May KARMA Hit your BIG

FAT FUCKING "Trigger: Mouth.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

61. The 1st Amendment says BS

To your claim about the country being founded on the principles of your genocidal hater in the sky.

The First Amendment directly repudiates the first five of your 10 stupid rules.

So much for that stupid fascist argument, you red-sock painting sack of vomit.

[Martin Eden]

66. "Godly principles" and Donald Trump are 100% incompatible

Same goes for Constitutional rule of law and the highest ideals upon which our nation was founded.

George Washington set a vital precedent by rebuffing any suggestion he be made king and by conducting the first peaceful transfer of power.

Donald Trump is the first president in our nation's history to resist the peaceful transfer of power by conspiring to overturn the election and by fomenting a violent assault on our nation's capitol.

He seeks to place himself above the law and above our Constitution. His willful retention of highly classified national security documents belonging to our government and obstruction of attempts to retrieve them are further examples of his utter disregard for laws which protect our nation.

Others have been convicted and imprisoned for less egregious violations of the Espionage Act, a necessary means to keep highly sensitive intel out of the hands of foreign adversaries.

Those who support the former president in his attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power and the return of national security documents are at best misguided fools. Regardless of what they believe, they pose a very real threat to the Constitutional republic founded by true patriots.
