We need to not be civil to assholes.

...because I dared some punk kid to use f'in liberal and the n word to my face.
I said I'd ruin that kid's day and his useless high school football career
Why are so many here oblivious to the fact that this a fucking fight, not a debate?

The only way I'm going to reason with them is with the heaviest piece of dimensional lumber I can swing.

quick, go find me an article encouraging people on the right to "reach out and understand" people on the left.

Doesn't exist.

Why is that?

They’re insane, pissed off because Trump drove them to it, armed and probably homicidal.

What I don’t understand: If I were to take a block of clay and mold something that was everything the Trump base hates, that something would be Donald Trump. How did they go so far from their values?

From 2014:

Women journalists have been dealing with this awful crap for a while, unfortunately. Trump is definitely making it even worse.

Women journalists have had to deal with rape and murder threats from online trolls for a while now. This is not a new phenomenon. This has been gone on before Trump and will continue after he is gone.

No derailment. Nope.

He has been abusive towards her since day one, it seems.

You can say it was Gamergate, but Gamergate is a product of the Alt Right, which was a product of extreme conservatism and alpha male culture. We can't stop what happened but we can work toward fixing it.

He is the embodiment of all that nastiness and hate.

His shitty behavior validated by his “win” in the last election shows his fans that behavior is okay. He’s suffered no consequences for it. So it’s deemed okay. And there’s the “role model” for his deplorable fans.

If it were just Trump, why are Labour MPs in England getting the threats? Gamergate?

Trump doesn't have mythical powers. He isn't compelling these idiots to do something they weren't already predisposed to doing. Pretending it's all Trump means you aren't getting to the root of the problem. Plus it pushes the responsibility from the people making the threats. As Nuremberg Trials show, claiming you were following orders isn't a defense. These are real people making really stupid choices. They don't deserve to hide behind Trump.

"He isn't compelling these idiots to do something they weren't already predisposed to doing."

Absolutely, but what Trump has done is to remove any inhibition these people may have felt up to now to act on their base instincts. Society imposes certain norms that serve as a brake on people that would otherwise all rush out to the nearest gun shop and spray the nearest crowd with bullets. Trump is slowly breaking down those norms, and he will declare his shock and offer thoughts and prayers, along with the rest of the Republicans, when the first politically motivated massacres have passed into our bored, disinterested history.

So it was very upsetting to hear how she's being threatening like that. What are these networks doing to protect these people. I know they have to do their jobs, but to do it for what, an a**hole who lies with every breath he takes. He's not worth losing a life. Sanity must soon prevail before it becomes too late

Ohh, but Sarah Huckabee Sanders needs security protection because a comedian poked fun at her lying! Poor Katy...she is the one that needs the security protection!!

LOL

Trump is MAD (as in increasingly insane). How long are the PTB going to ignore this, (aside from grumbling and bitching), and take some ACTION. No ordinary person with any public forum would be allowed to continue in this way. No responsible person talks and acts this way. A manager of a local Walmart would have been out the door long since. This whole situation is NOT NORMAL!

Sure, we're not at the point where he's peeing into mason jars and storing them in a closet but he's growing increasingly more insane by the day. Just a matter of time.

Referring to SHS in case that wasn't clear!

I don't see how the United States is ever going to recover from this nightmare. About 40% of this country have taken off their masks and revealed how truly disgusting they are. Even when the orange asshole exits the stage, things aren't just going to be able to go back to normal and the majority of the country will not be able to pretend they didn't see the things they saw.

As much as we detest Trump, he didn't create these sickos. They existed before him. All he did was just release them from their cages.

He may not willingly exit the stage. He seems to want to be President for life.

Whether it's through death or whatever, he won't always be around. That's what I meant. His sick followers, unfortunately, will long outlive his time in the spotlight.

Age 72. Bad things can happen fast.
The fate of the world may be in the hands of
Cholesterol. ....

I mean, publish their names and give their addresses if you have them. Broadcast their vile words for everyone to read and hear. Don't protect these assholes. This is a police matter.

Just sayin'

If they were dumb enough to though, I'm certain she would have forwarded this to proper authorities.

We all watched him do it. This is not her first threat, I'm sure of it, and it won't be her last.

They only give him what he wants more than anything:attention.
Just don’t show them.
They are never anything of substance.
There are never ANY facts or information.
There are showcases for freaks.

Ignore him. That'll really piss him off.

inform the country about anything positive or remotely regarding the truth since he took (stole) the office. He has done nothing but display twisted, narcissist self-aggrandizement at all these “rallies”.

The Cretin’s entire time in office has been one big cluster fuck of incompetent, petty, vengeful “pay backs” against every and anyone who challenged his own lofty, overblown opinion of his wretched, mediocre worth.

He has played the Media as tools and fools. They’ve looked cowed and weak.

I am dumbfounded that it has taken them this long to revolt. His entire scheme is a whole new ballgame of lies and cons and manipulations. You would think the “journalists” would have the smarts to refuse to play, but not that you would notice... up until just recently when some have rediscovered their spines.

If something truly important needs to be relayed, it would be without his blustering self-loving jagoff BS
monopolizing the airways.

Resist REFUSE Revolt.
Accent now on the REFUSE.
Take away the attention.
THAT is THE powerful weapon.

sick fucks.

Don't you realize that when people are economically anxious, they talk about rape and murder? We just need to go into their communities and talk to them an be extra civil, and in no time flat, they will be belting out choruses of kumbaya with us. :

Lock Them Up! They are the true criminals, along with their criminal treasonous sociopathic Herr Orange Menace.

Like an adult and a professional.

Meanwhile, SHS's eyes fill with tears and gets Secret Service protection.

Huckasanders has proven herself to be a sorry excuse for a woman and mother. But the Democratic leadership reacted to her actually very polite expulsion from a restaurant as if she'd had spaghetti and meatballs dumped on her head. And, in the interests of this faux-civility, they won't call out Trump for egging on his foul mouthed, soulless, cowardly followers to ever greater depths of depravity. Or did I miss where Chuck and Nancy went public and condemned as despicable the threats of violence perpetrated by Trump's followers when they occur and are reported, as here?

blood on his hands as his systematic autocratic dividing quest continues. I suspect it won’t be for the first time.

We cannot succumb to such tactics

If you allow them to triumph with such strategy, you'll only get more of it.

as do others who stand up to Mango Mussolini. They are national treasures.

maybe wasn't such a good thing after all. I mean sure it helps your network's ratings and the stockholders love it, but now that they've actually started shooting at journalists you start to think you maybe should have said something when they were still only attacking people of color and accusing Dems of running child slavery rings out of pizza restaraunts.

Not to slam Ms. Tur or anyone else specifically, it's just the media has become a travesty.
