but very close to not being protected, hence the warning.

sure, but this guy is not even being charged with anything. we are talking about a warning.

“The FBI visited my house today for free speech acts they knew were not crimes.”

Uh, calling for violence is NOT protected under the first amendment, so you can fuck right off with that.

“It is well understood that the right of free speech is not absolute at all times and under all circumstances. There are certain well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any Constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or ‘fighting’ words – those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. It has been well observed that such utterances are no essential part of any exposition of ideas, and are of such slight social value as a step to truth that any benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the social interest in order and morality.”

well if we were following the rules this wouldn’t be happening in the first place.

if only we all could retire from politics.

there’s no way trump actually wrote this.

but what is “lancing” in this context? giving her more headlines?

the reason could simply have been a severe dislike of Trump, not necessarily that he was pushed to violence by Trump’s rhetoric.

listened to Trump’s and Republicans’ call for political violence to solve political problems.

seems like he’s had a violent/criminal streak going back decades. not sure you can really tie this to trump.

probably one of the lawyers told him to cool it.

edit: if you downvote please explain why

the only news I can find for Jill Stein from 2021-2023 is

1. She was running Cornel West’s presidential campaign at some point, not sure what happened with that [link]

2. she got in trouble with the FEC for campaign finance issues [link]

they did nazi this coming.

Also, I acknowledge this is speculation, but I would guess that a significant portion of the undecided people in those polls are conservatives who can’t stomach Trump and will never vote democrat. So it’s almost certainly more than 40% imo.

Your data does not logically lead to your conclusion, because the polls cited naturally bifurcated the responses into two (or three) camps.

are you denying that trump supporters would identify as “ conservative“? Also “undecided” is certainly a catch-all option for people who don’t want to vote for Trump or Harris.

It’s like if I did a poll asking: “what is your favorite color, purple or yellow?” and then said this proves that 50% of respondents’ favorite color is purple. We are discounting the opinions of orange and green lovers.

sorry but that’s an awful analogy, color preference does not follow a rough spectrum as political ideology does. And again, in your analogy, the orange and green lovers could have chosen undecided.

If you have better data, by all means show it. The polls I linked are certainly more accurate than the person above citing the 2020 election and that only 22% of the US voted for Trump. That is a wildly misleading representation of US demographics.

sounds like I had the exact same conversation with this person not long ago.

per 538, the last two polls of “adults” (not likely voters or registered voters) showed trump support around 40%. And Harris’ lead in those polls is basically the same as with likely voters and registered voters, around +3-4.

edit:

Also this gallup poll says 30% of people identify as Republican, and 40% as independent, with 46% of independents leaning Republican. So “almost half” as the top comment said.

edit 2: for whoever downvoted, I would love to hear why. the person above asked for a source that says “Almost half the country is right wing”, and I provided multiple. if you have better evidence to the contrary let’s see it.

we know this, thanks.

I hope she leans into it for halloween.
