Did you know that it's illegal to say, "I wish someone would kill the president of the united states"?
Im not saying it, im just letting you know that it's illegal. Like a public service announcement.
- Did you know that it’s illegal to say, “I wish someone would kill the president of the united states”?
  Nope: can't know things that aren't true.
  It's not a true threat. When someone said
  If they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is L.B.J.
  that, too, was rejected as a true threat. The Secret Service may pay you a visit, though.
  So, when are you not killing the president?
  
  It was a reference

- "Freedom of speech" mfs when it's not about literal speech.
- "Insanely illegal!!"
  
  "Fun" fact. Trevor "Fell from his Balcony" and died shortly after this video.
  What a weird coincidence.
  Edit: Apparently it was a decade later. I was confused.
  
  12 years later is “shortly after”?
  
  No. I was just confused. The first time I saw this was a few months before he died and I guess I didn't realize it was from years earlier. My bad.
  
  For some reason I thought this was a Matt Walsh bit. Wkuk and ucb occupy a similar area of my brain.
  
  They are pretty similar in a lot of ways. Like how Matt Walsh walks around with a gallon of meth on most days, and he probably has kids tied to his radiator in his basement so he can grape them. Just uncanny really.
  
  I got so many questions I'm not sure I want the answers to.
  
  "Wow. A whole gallon of PCP."

  Two all time classics, although I feel like you missed cat hunting
  
  🤦
  Edit to add;I never claimed to be terribly bright.

  That's another good one. Lol
- Will no one rid us of this turbulent president?
- But I thought murica was the pinnacle of free speech? 😮
- You can, however, wish bad fortune and ill luck befall the president. Its the "I want a person to do a thing" problem because it sounds like you could looking for somebody to hire.
- Okay but what about investing in the Fatwa ETF?
- When I see a cheeto on the floor, there is always a demon voice in my head telling me to stomp it with my foot
- In the US.
  Most countries wouldn't care at all.
