It’s blatant extortion now.

    When the President of the United States says this shit, is it okay now to say - as a Canadian - that I wonder why more Americans aren’t trying to kill him yet? Like, what the hell is going on? HE IS GOING TO GET US ALL KILLED.

      We need to guarantee payment to whoever steps up, and make sure that their family is looked after for life.

      The Luigi who saves us all will be hailed as a hero around the world for decades. World leaders would congratulate them for preventing countless needless deaths, and future dictators won’t fuck around for very long before finding out.

      My pet conspiracy theory is that there’s already been multiple attempts since Butler, but they aren’t being publicized because they don’t want to encourage others.

      I think it’s just because people still have hope that the systems will work as usual and right the ship. I think a lot of people are waiting to see what happens with this administration’s reaction to court orders, etc. But I think that we’re going to start spawning radicalized reactionaries soon.

      Those two attempts failed. Now he isn’t on the campaign trail and he has the world’s best security. The only people that can take him down are an army at this point.

        Incidentally, the US Army is among those who are oath bound to depose Donald Trump.

      I would think no, but considering that I posted the article, I’d leave it for other mods to act on if necessary.

      A bit of a grey area to me as it’s just wondering, not actually suggesting.

        There HAS to be news that’s not being covered about shit like this. I refuse to believe that in a country of nearly 400 million people there aren’t a few with good sense

      I think they think it’s futile, since bullets didn’t work. But we have other means. Like remote controlled flying things.

        I’m just really really disappointed in Time. Like, you had ONE JOB.

        I won’t mention on the “bullets didn’t work” comment. But have you ever heard the word “yet”?

        The guy is threatening to annex my fucking country. If you have problems with me wishing harm upon your self-proclaimed conqueror, you can eat my leaf. (not you specifically, of course)

          Trump seems to like Napoleon’s quote that “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.” And while I don’t want you to get hurt, it seems that an executive action from your new PM would be saving his country from a foreign threat.
