(11,203 posts)Amazing. The only difference is that as far as Vance can recall, no one has ever threatened Ms. Harris. In that case, vote for the woman with the superior running mate.
Now about those bomb threats to an Ohio city resulting from DJ's racist "created for media impact" knowingly false accusations...
Justice matters.

(19,170 posts)Maybe fans of TCF are gigantic pieces of shit in general, and Harris fans are not. That is a more plausible explanation than this mystery unspecified rhetoric.

The statements Democrats make about Trump are true. And we have a right and responsibility to speak the truth about a man who wants the most powerful office in the world.

(1,250 posts)... than this mentally fucked-up asshole nor have I ever seen any politician go out of his way to purposefully step in a piles of shit every day like Just Dumb Vance. I honestly thought that the GOP couldn't find anyone stupider than Palin or Quayle or someone more corrupt and deceitful than Agnew -- was I ever wrong! 20,000 fathoms deep in the Republican Nazi Party sewer and there is still no bottom in sight!

(13,214 posts)I certainly hope there have been no plots or attempts, but if a scheme or threat was prevented, I don't think we'd know about it.
DHS or the Secret Service don't advertise the details of security and prevention measures. And when plans or threats are exposed and prevented, indictments may be sealed for security reasons.

The far right, the anarchists, resorts to violence to achieve destruction of an ordered government. The people who took guns near a public figure were shown to be right wing.
My own opinion is that the events have been put together for show, for distraction. When the far right chooses to lie about every detail of every single aspect of anything they talk about, why should I believe that these gun events are not more of the same? I imagine it's pretty easy for computer geeks to make up an alternate internet presence so the guys with the guns have a plausible background, if needed. The right wing creates their lies from whole cloth and they've lied for years. Making up gun events with their guy as a target is probably a cake walk.
The first guy did better than the puppet masters expected and there was (possibily unintended) collateral damage This gun event was tweaked so that no sanitary pads would be required, but would still disrupt the current news cycle with credulous talking heads taking it as a real threat. Because the right wing wants a standing army they don't train, don't arm, don't support, but keep handy when they signal a dog whistle to action, there is a vast pool of willing and stupid and misguided Americans with guns, who will interpret what they see and hear in their own unique way and act accordingly.
I have always had a skeptical nature. The right wing lost any credulity a long time ago. I feel like the people behind our current ridiculous situation are all playing some kind of elaborate game where they all have access to tools for the game, and take turns rolling the dice to see which of them gains. They aren't playing for advantage. They're playing for fun. And the rest of us are living with the result of their wanton indifference.

(17,146 posts)There are probably threats we don't hear about.
And if there were, there are committed by unhinged right-wingers.
So, basically, liberals don't commit those kind of crimes, but JD's unhinged followers DO, to both sides.

(115,374 posts)One minute they defend the free speech rights of Donald Trump and the next minute they are criticizing the political speech of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Then they equate the political criticism by Harris and Biden to the violent rhetoric of Donald Trump. They are attempting to stop all criticism of Mr Trump.
