    “The FBI has joined an investigation into a barrage of threats against Fulton County officials in recent days, including members of the Atlanta-area grand jury that voted to indict former president Donald Trump and 18 of his allies in a sweeping criminal case focused on alleged 2020 election interference.”

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...tion-threats-grand-jurors-trump-georgia-case/

    “It is our policy not to discuss details of ongoing investigations,” the FBI statement said. “However, each and every potential threat brought to our attention is taken seriously. Individuals found responsible for making threats in violation of state and/or federal laws will be prosecuted.”

    Gee, I hope no one leaps to the conclusion that these threats of violence had anything to do with the inflammatory statements made by The Orange Stain since his indictment…! After all, history tells us that his cul…err…’supporters’ are nothing if not peaceful folk. They have never resorted to a violent outburst in response to his urgings…

    Oh, wait……….

    I hope they catch them all, and this does have to stop. But I fear(and dread) that this will be our new norm. As I mentioned repeatedly: Welcome to how the EU lives. Political contests aren't necessarily peaceful there. Parties are outlawed, and if they aren't outlawed the opposition will make the argument to outlaw them.

    This is why Europe is in constant civil and foreign disputes, for as long as the continent was in the 1800's-to-the-day.

    What made us exceptional is that we said: We're not gonna do that. But now, we're on the cusp of that. Perhaps, what might save us a complete falling into EU Status is our favorable relation with Canada, and that Latin America generally doesn't have the military capacity to challenge the US.

    But even a little foray into how the EU lives, will drastically change the American experience.

    Not sure what current European conflict you are referring, but civil discourse is allowed in the nations that you out down, but your Russia doesn't allow it, or they face jail or worse.

    There is a direct co-relation to the violent references from Trump and the violent reactions they trigger.

    I agree. Anyone making death threat, to anyone, should be tracked down and prosecuted to fullest extent of the law.

    By the same token, anyone caught falsely reporting that they were threatened should be held to the same standard.

    Complete bullshit. The new norm in the US is directly linked to trump and his maga horde.
    We warned you that everything trump touches turns to ****, and we can see how his malign influence has dragged our country into the sewer.
    And it won’t improve until all the trump turd polishers have the courage to put their country ahead of the orange traitor.

    Complete bullshit. The left openly threatened Kavanaugh, threatened to blow up the WH, wanted to see a president assassinated, and when they’re not going after conservatives they have their Antifa army threatening school boards, businesses and everything else.

    No, just the trump movement, and they are a minority who have no future in American politics.

    The economy was in better shape when Trump was president than it is under Bidenomics.

    There was an attempt on Kavanaughs life. That was right after Schumer said he was going to "release the whirlwind" on the Conservative justices.

    You do realize that antifa is pretty apolitical, yes? They hate democrats as well as republicans, they just hate republicans more. They hate government in general.

    The difference between is that the right is saying any group that doesn’t align with them is “left” while their side openly identify with republicans and riot with slogans or flags of their team.
