Trump posted what he said was Obama's address, prosecutors say. An armed man was soon arrested there

Source: AP News via Yahoo News

Former President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform what he claimed was the home address of former President Barack Obama on the same day that a man with guns in his van was arrested near the property, federal prosecutors said Wednesday in revealing new details about the case.

Taylor Taranto, 37, who prosecutors say participated in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, kept two firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition inside a van he had driven cross-country and had been living in, according to a Justice Department motion that seeks to keep him behind bars.

On the day of his June 29 arrest, prosecutors said, Taranto reposted a Truth Social post from Trump containing what Trump claimed was Obama’s home address. In a post on Telegram, Taranto wrote: “We got these losers surrounded! See you in hell, Podesta’s and Obama’s.” That’s a reference to John Podesta, the former chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Democratic presidential campaign.

Taranto also told followers on his YouTube live stream that he was looking to get a “good angle on a shot.”

Why isn’t that filthy fat lump of orange grease not idling time behind. Bars. His phuckin’ pie hole just can’t shut up. Responsible for thousands of d
Covid deaths.Threatening death to jury’s. And the
Prosecutors their families. Telling his mush brained. MAGTs. To commit mayhem. Those judges and senior repukes are just as guilty of aiding and
and abetting this orange freak. Tell him you assholes to shut the fuck up. It is only a matter of time before this nonsense gets worse.

And using TFG's words against him, but please don't make it sound like you're calling for his assassination. That's how I take your post.

It's not a stretch to think this violent nut would go all Rambo and kill the occupants inside. Arrest Trump. This is inciting domestic violence.

so it's not terrorism

It is stochastic terrorism since he kept it vague enough to avoid any specific action by any specific person.

Most in our country ARE against him, but we'll have to ignore his old, wrinkled ass which is laughable because he's threatening people, encouraging his deplorables to start another Helter Skelter/race riot in this country on his behalf, lying about the same shit over and over concerning the 2020 GE He's got the complexion for the protection: He's been a wealthy white, right winged male at some point in his life, so that alone will get him the preferential treatment until he's actually hauled off and put IN a "facility" someplace. At 77 years old, and as a white ex-sitting president, he's not going to prison. Friends get angry at me when I tell them this, but it's just the way it is. It's past excruciating, but we just have to put up with his shit until he's either put into a facility and muzzled which could take years, or wait on his health to play out:
Him having a massive heart attack and dying because of all the pressure he's under, and while Jack Smith is stacking on and piling those indictments deep, and he's trying to rush this thing along because I'm sure Jack knows that tRump will keep on threatening people (Like he's continuing to threaten Jack and family), and delay, delay, delay, and yes unfortunately will keep getting away with it. No, he'll never be president again, but look at the further damage he's ALLOWED to do to this country on his old, diabolical, treasonous, evil ass way out the door.

Or are you going to let the orange menace get away with another crime?

At what point do Democrats say "Enough is enough" and start fighting back... with law on our side? TFG is more than a menace; he's a terrorist; a traitor; a dictator who tried to bring down our government.

When do the PTB start recognizing him as the danger he is, regardless of who he USED to be. If we have to walk on tiptoes simply because he USED sit in the oval office, then we've already defacto made the office a monarchy, IMNSHO. If all those "oh so sweet, please, please, please" continue long after we've stripped him of the office and he's just a civilian like all the rest of us, then we've made the Office of the Presidency something it was never meant to be!

Justice matters.

There are at least two dudes here who should spend a long time thinking (OK, that's probably expecting too much) about whether they prefer needles or wires.

A source to broadcast their violence.

There is no terrorism without a mechanism to terrorize others not present when the act of violence is committed.

They do it for the attention.
