How can you possibly think you are on the right side of things as you call in a bomb threat on a school?

I just don't understand how these people can think their tactics are morally justified.

- They don't think that. They don't have morals.

USA politics are truly something to behold.

It's too hard to accurately put into words how it looks from the outside.

The closest would be that it's an absolute joke and the whole world laughs at you.

77
- I don't know anyone laughing though. I do know a lot of people that look at it and worry. The blatant lying, the calls to violence, the open fascism, cult like following... If this tips the wrong way, the children of the future will be learning about jan6 and what is to come like we learn about the night of the long knifes.
  
  The example Trump is teaching the whole world is that there are no consequences if you just double down and keep saying insane shit while throwing your weight around. And even federal judges will bend for you à

  I know a lot of people who laugh at it, but then again, I'm not from the US.
  
  And Trump isn't really teaching the world anything. If he's teaching anything it'll be how the US allows this dumpsterfire.

- It's like watching a drunk gorilla in a weird dress stumbling around, doing ridiculous things while acting tough.
  It would be funny, except you're stuck inside the room with it, it's holding a rocket launcher, and half the people in the room with you are imitating its moves.
  
  24
- If I had to pick one word I'd go with deranged.

- It's not funny from where I'm sitting. (On a toilet in New York)

  "Problems" are always enhanced by politicians. Look at where you are in life, it's actually quite beautiful compared to what they try to make you believe. It even has toiletpaper.

- Fair enough. To be honest there is a lot of politics in over countries people in the US laugh about.

  Yeah but nothing compares to the US.

He should be sued for slander

134
- He should be imprisoned for terrorism.

  Amen to that. Where the hell is homeland security when shits like this (Drumpf & Fox) are spreading lies & slander that bring agitated unrest & death?
  
  25
  
  If he was a normal ass person he already would have been with all the Jan 6er scum
  
  16
- problem is you could never prove beyond all reasonable doubt he didn't believe it himself
  
  23
  
  That's because he really does believe it. If you listen to him say he heard it on TV it is the most genuine statement he has ever made. It's like a child telling you exactly what they saw on TV.
  
  If you're looking for someone to sue it would have to be the "sources" Trump heard the information from. Unfortunately I'm confident those people understand the ruse. They know to say allegedly. They know how to utilize weasel words.

  Sounds like a candidate for a proper psych evaluation, then.

  In legal speak the term is "knew or should have known"

"innocent people are having their pets eaten! I'm going to help by threatening to bomb the innocent people!"

43
- Yeah, people make up bs, other people spread it, old guy embarrasses himself saying it on tv, bomb threats. I have to be missing a step here.

  I think the step you're missing is 4chan

"Very good people" indeed, ya orange turd.

- I wish more of them would try to build bombs and find out it’s not so easy. ☠️

  Please don't wish that it's not really that hard.

I'm glad our Government is Dealing with these Domestic Terrorist Threats so Seriously to ensure no Schools or Children are DESTROYED by these Right Wing Terrorists!

85
- TBH it's odd that MAGA has not been classified as a terrorist group at this point.
  
  59
  
  It's too big. It's like how Christianity is not classified as a cult.
  
  39
  
  Those who burn crosses...

  Pretty sure you & I classify them as terrorists.
  
  I'm with you. It's well past time homeland security et al. recognize & treat them as such

  I've been wondering the same thing
  
  At the very least a hate group
  
  They have free redeeming qualities

Domestic terrorists

25
- Honestly if you're going to be a terrorist why is no one bombing MaraLago. Seems like it'd be more productive
  
  6
  
  Because the magas are the terrorists and they worship the Orange baby?

  In America terrorists are too stupid to spend even a single brain cell coming up with a strategy besides "shoot up a school cuz that's what they all do".

Wouldn't it be great if people in US reject this divisive asshole and were no longer agitated by random bs they here from people on tv?

18
- Unfortunately, it's really down to the residents of like 7 states. Residents of the other 43, functionally don't have a vote.

This could be our future - VOTE.

I wish I could blame this one on Trump, but neo-Nazi crazies have been stoking this fire for a long time. And, honestly, good ol’ racism has been doing its work on this one from the beginning.

Trump only latched onto it recently, thanks to that Nazi vampire Laura Loomer

Edit: I apologize for being unclear— Trump is a monster and obviously responsible for the spreading of this lie. I was merely trying to speak to the rumor’s provenance and was very clumsy in my speech. I’m sorry.

25
- Were the Republican nazis calling in bomb threats to Springfield before trump broadcast his fake news on air?
  
  45
  
  Maybe? Why don’t you find out and get back to us, troublemaker. I sure know the people stirring the shit are t helping… what’s your agenda?
  
  -62
- I was talking to my 90 year old grandfather recently if the political climate has ever been this bad. He responded. "No, its never been this bad. Trump is an incendiary."
  
  Trump absolutely takes a lot of blame in this. He heard something he thought would benefit him and repeated it tot the masses like it was fact.
  
  24
  
  It was pointed out to me just recently that my comment was unclear— YES, Trump is obviously to blame here. I was trying to comment on the provenance of the claim. I apologize for my clumsiness of speech.

- No name racists on the internet vs former (and potential future) POTUS... Yeah you're right, it's tough to tell who is more responsible for spreading this particular bit of misinformation.
  
  32
  
  That’s not what I was saying, and why would you try to create divisiveness about that? What’s wrong with you?
  
  -26
- Trump is to blame. When someone who half of the country blindly follows starts spewing slanderous venom, his followers will do the same. He's been doing it for years on other random issues. They follow every time. And he knows it.
  
  14
- Don't you think he at least shares the blame?
  
  9
  
  Yes, of course. Why does everything have to be a binary?
  
  I was discussing provenance, not “ultimate and solitary blame”
  
  3
- but neo-Nazi crazies have been stoking this fire for a long time.
  
  Acting like Trump didn't come in with a leaf blower and start blowing embers everywhere is just crazy to me.

Trump is nothing, he was never the problem. These cunts are.

- It's kind of like saying the lit fuse isn't the problem, it's the dynamite.

  The dynamite is metallic and he is a dynamite magnet.

Lock the orange shit stain up!!!!

They are eating the pets of the people who live there!

- Let's terrorize the people who live there!

I'm guessing 4chan is to blame for this one.

What a bunch of shitty people
