Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

But… you know he has no intention of doing what a judge says, and there is nothing anyone can do—besides and trump’s life violently—to stop him.
You keep saying that but I don’t see you doing anything. Stop trying to convince people to do something you don’t want to do yourself
Brand new account and they keep posting doomer shit. Best to block/ignore.
I think it’s a fed or bot out here fishing for someone to agree. But yeah I’ve moved on. Lost cause either way.
Why? Why should I stop doing anything? Sure, I don’t have the skills to accomplish that job – But there are many people who do and just need that extra push. I do my fair share of things within my competence, but confessing those things on the Internet is a dumb idea.
What it comes down to is you don’t want him to be dead. You enjoy what’s going on. You want it to continue. You’re a fed simp.
I don’t want to see you get someone stupid out in jail. Anyone who has the skills is not going to be listening to you. I have the skills and I think you’re stupid for saying that. I’m not going to do it because he’s not exactly thriving in life as it is. I’m pretty sure we can just wait it out.
You don’t have the skills. You’re a fucking joke. American hero Tommy Crooks is a better shot than you will ever be.
He is going to live until his 90s. Which is More than a decade. The amount of permanent damage he can do in that time has clearly not caught up to you yet.
I think you just don’t care what’s happening. I think you think it’s a good thing. You probably feel the right kind of people are suffering.
I think you make a lot of assumptions. I used evidence to make that conclusion. You are shouting nonsense over nothing.
The only thing you know about me is that I think you are you are being very foolish for trying to convince people here on lemmy to attack a political figure.
Again, anyone you convince would not be the person to actually do it. They’d just get themselves arrested.
Regardless of anyone politics what you are doing is foolish and only gets people hurt.
So stop.
I disagree. What you are doing is foolish and stupid. You are trying to shut down any conversation of fighting the government. Sounds like you’re just a fed troll. That explains why you would argue against anything actually effective.
Remind me again what “evidence” you have presented here?
“trying to shut down any conversation of fighting the government.“
Im shutting down exactly one kind of argument. Just your bad idea of trying to convince people to kill the president.
Again it’s not even an issue of politics or my beliefs, it’s not even saying his death would be good or bad.
I’m simply pointing out the obvious. Anyone who would be convinced by you here on lemmy saying they should do it… is the type of person to get immediately arrested and never even get within a mile of trump.
Anyone with the skills already made up their mind. Either they are trying and you need to stop drawing attention to that, or they are like me and are pretty sure his mental and physical health will fail before a plan could reasonably take effect so why bother?
That’s the facts of this. You’re being foolish.
Well… You are entitled to your opinion and I do not agree with pretty much every word that you said. Decision-making is fluid. Lots of people just aren’t angry enough yet. If I can help them get angrier, it’s only a win.
Again… You are in favor of Donald Trump, and therefore there is no point in having this conversation. As you said before… You have the skills and you made your choice… And you chose Trump. I very very very much hope you get what’s coming to you
lol I’m very clearly a democrat. I’m on here all the time making fun of trump.
You are just being foolish. The idea that everything that’s happened wouldn’t be enough to anger someone but you saying basically “go do it” would convince them? What kind of person exactly would you be convincing.
You must be a trump supporter by your own logic. You aren’t out there killing him so by your own admission you must be for trump. Right? That’s how that works? You must be maga.
No, I said I didn’t have the skills. Nice try though, but your own reading comprehension skills have failed you.
You have said anyone who has the skills has already made their decision. You also claim that you have the skills to take down the president of the United States… Something that I am skeptical of, but for the sake of this conversation I will believe that you believe.
Keep on putting your foot in your mouth. You’ll change your tune pretty soon when Martial law hits… although, I expect to see you behind a mask wearing an ICE shirt.
Then Democrats need to be on top of the messaging and make sure that everyone knows who is directly responsible for their hunger.
So I'm not super optimistic...
Are you sure Newsome won't throw a couple snarky tweets out there? That's about all they have to offer at this point 😐
Yeah we are fucked. The world is not going in a good direction. And it doesn’t that schadenfreude is so rampant.
