Here is the phone number for the US Secret Service....
202-406-5708. Call them and report the threat made by Trump. If they get enough calls maybe they'll do it. I'm making my call after dinner. Let's do it.

1. And the lovely Jill Stein just said on MSNBC that Trump hasn't said anything that Hillary hasn't
already done. She's a disgrace.

11. 1. They are already aware of what happened. 2. Your name will be recorded when you call it in.
3. This kind of call could be interpreted as disrupting the operation of the secret service
But please go at it. I don't think screwing around with the secret service is a wise move |

is a good idea. As in wastes their time.

10. The people should speak out to the Secret Service. This man calls the election rigged and issues
a threat. This is serious. I will not surrender my country to this fool.

22. The Secret Service is not a damned customer call center.
They are hardly set up to handle an influx of complaints about Donald Trump. Do you want to start an online petition too? They are already understaffed, overworked, and underpaid.
I can assure you they all let out a collective "Ah FUCK", when this jackass spouted this remark. Their job just got harder because there are indeed loons in this country who will probably heed Donald's call to arms against Hillary. They are well aware of what just happened and they are more concerned with keeping her and Bill safe now than answering silly phone calls. They don't need this. |

9. I would assume the secret service has more important things to do than take your calls
The secret service is already aware of the issue, and a few hundred people wasting their time is not going to help things.

26. AND Trump made things more dangerous for the Secret Service
Think about what the agents protecting Clinton must think. Their job just got harder and they personally are more in danger. If I was one of Trump's Secret Service agents, I'd pull that POS aside and tell him to knock it the fuck off.

12. They're WAY more aware of what's up than a bunch of people on a discussion board
Don't waste their time and phone lines.
Several teams of armed highly trained men surround the candidates 24/7. They've got this. |

16. Are you seriously suggesting that the Secret Service is "in on it"?
They are some of the best trained, hardest working professional agents I've ever had the pleasure to work with.
You're messed up if you think they are behind a threat to Hillary. |

20. Don't clog the line & prevent / delay calls with info the Secret Service don't already have.
They are not a polling outfit. They do not choose what action to take depending on whether there are 100 calls for one tip or 100,000.
The agents were there. They heard it live and in person. |

24. Secret Service 'aware' of Trump's 2nd Amendment remark about Clinton
By Doug G. Ware
Aug. 9, 2016 WILMINGTON, N.C., Aug. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. Secret Service could potentially take a step unprecedented in American political history -- investigate one of the candidates it is assigned to protect. The agency said it is "aware" of a remark made by GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump at a North Carolina campaign stop on Tuesday, which appeared to some a thinly-veiled quip about threatening Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton with gun violence. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2016/08/09/Secret-Service-aware-of-Trumps-2nd-Amendment-remark-about-Clinton/4071470788911/ U.S. Secret ServiceVerified account
@SecretService The Secret Service is aware of the comments made earlier this afternoon. https://twitter.com/SecretService |
