Woman charged with threatening to kill judge overseeing Donald Trump's election case
Abigail Jo Shry allegedly called US District Judge Tanya Chutkan a 'stupid slave' in a voicemail message to a Washington court
A Texas woman has been charged with threatening to kill the judge overseeing a criminal case against Donald Trump.
Abigail Jo Shry, 43, allegedly called US District Judge Tanya Chutkan a “stupid slave” and used another racial slur in a voicemail message she left at the Washington courthouse.
She is reported to have said: “You are in our sights, we want to kill you... If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, b----.
“You will be targeted personally, publicly, your family, all of it.”
The article also includes an expectation meeting mugshot. For people that talk about violence, I’ve never been less intimidated.
Good, now do the same to the turds threatening violence to the jurors
150I’m sure they will. It just takes a little time to drive all the way out to bumblefuck and figure out which cousin was using the trailer park communal Commodore 64 at the time.

Republican officials, even after the insurrection, are using violent rhetoric. This is deliberate. They want the crazies from their party to engage in terrorism.
This is a party who wouldn't even impeach and remove Trump after a violent coup.
It's insanity that we're not treating these people like the full-blown fascists they keep showing us they are.
That entire party needs to be purged from every level of government.
People who still call themselves Republicans after the coup are a disgrace. They are traitors.

Stochastic terrorism.

My favorite part,
"The 43-year-old said she had no intention of going to Washington to carry out her threats, before adding: “If Shelia Jackson Lee comes to Alvin [a city in Texas], then we need to worry.”"
How fucking stupid can you be to say this AFTER you've been arrested?
10330% of Republicans believe violence may be necessary to "save" the country.
They legitimately don't think it's an issue to threaten violence against anyone who impedes Donald Trump. In their deluded minds, he's an innocent victim who only wants what's best for the country and all these evil judges and persecutors and federal employees are trying to take him down and literally destroy the country.
56This is what you get when you allow people with power and influence lie all the time
Yes, we need freedom of speech, blah.
You don't have true freedom of speech, not even in the US, this article literally shows that
We need more restrictions on speech. If you're a politician and you obviously lie then you need to be at least called out on that, and be forced to correct yourself publicly. Maybe some naming and shaming will make politicians slightly more honest.
All politicians lie up to some point and it's been tolerable and tolerated for a long time but Trump weaponised disinformation and lying. This needs to stop, those in power need to be held accountable. If you're the president and you startte spouting proven conspiracy theories then you need to either be forced to correct yourself and say you were staying dishonest information or you need to leave.

They've been doubling down on stupid their whole life.
21How fucking stupid can you be to say this AFTER you've been arrested?
Well given what she was arrested for, I can safely assume that thinking is not her strong suit.
16I'm not sure it's necessary to question the intelligence of anyone who is part of the Trump cult. That question answers itself.

Always good to see these dumbasses ruin their lives for some old racist grifter who wouldn't even piss on them if they were on fire.
I don't know how he managed to get a following of millions of people he openly hates, but somehow he has.
86They hate everyone who isn't exactly like them, Trump has a similar level of entitlement and narcissism that they do, which is why they support him - because it's just another way to support themselves.
Narcissists live vicariously through Trump, because he's proven all you have to be to succeed is an entitled piece of shit (and wealthy) - which is the only quality they possess (minus the wealth).
When you're that level of narcissist, you don't actually care about the people around you, you only care that they agree with you. Which is probably why they wouldn't care if Trump low-key hates them, because they absolutely hate anyone below them on their social hierarchy, but they hate them less if they kiss the hierarchy ring.
When they have a Trump Rambo flag, it's actually them on the flag - Trump's face is just the unifying figure for their collective personality disorders.
34Yep he gives off the same energy and they connect with it

I'm going to prison for an NFT salesman
--far right scumbag and unite the right organizer Baked Alaska, on being sentenced to prison for his participation in 01/06, yet another right wing rally in which people died
15I'd say it's the same mental gymnastics as anyone who defends billionaire corporations.
8some old racist grifter who wouldn't even piss on them if they were on fire.
But would happy to be pissed on.

Why would they let a woman who threatened to kill a judge oversee trump’s criminal case?
(Sorry. Had to be done)
72ah, the ol' lemmy switch-a-roo.
EDIT: as it turns out, comment links are completely and utterly broken at the moment. sorry! the switch-a-roo chain will eventually work.
23Hold my recycled habits from Reddit, I'm going in!

I just woke up and that's how I read it like 3 times in a row
5Yeah, poorly worded. Could have Saud "Judge overseeing Trump's election case receives death threats, Texas woman charged"
4I was seriously confused for a second.. Grammar matters.
4English is weird man
2They just had to add the word “is” after “woman” and it would’ve made perfect sense, but news article titles always need to be maximally confusing
5
The scary thing is she probably has zero regrets and would do it again.
40I’m sure Fox is already adding her to their lineup
37How's she gonna manage a job at Fox while simultaneously being in Congress?
24
It says she’s been jailed 30 times so that’s probably a pretty accurate statement
12That mugshot is the face of indignance.
4No ragrets!
3No rugrats.

My favorite part is that we have to specify which criminal case in which Donald J Trump is a defendant we’re talking about because there’s THREE OF THEM.
37FOUR!
24That’s what you get when you skip watching the news for a single day. Indictments come at you fast.
7(Not mine): This is only the fourth time in the history of the United States that a former president has been indicted.

Given that this doofus is from Texas, guessing the GA one is outside her worldview XD

Pretty much the face I'd expect of someone who would do this.
25Remember folks, it's not okay to (jokingly) threaten violence against things like the NRA convention or the Vatican. Please save your violent threats for judges and jury members of your favorite criminally-charged politicians. Thank you.
19Wow, that's a rough looking 43
17Meth. It’s what’s for dinner
4I assume that living in constant, irrational fear that the government is out to get you and anyone who isn’t exactly like you threatens your existence causes stress, which ages you prematurely.

This is conservatism when it starts to lose
16As much as I hate to admit it, these willfully ignorant racist fucks won't stop until they get another war.
13They won't get a war, they will get jail time.
11I mean, we say that, but they have enough collective anger and enough legal connections that they plausibly could start a civil war next year and possibly even win it.
There's nothing that is stopping them from banding together and busting out the dumbasses thrown in prison over January 6th and, if they had the will, they could bust this stupid fucking clown out of jail, too.

These choads haven’t getting over the whuppin’ they got from the last one. Make sure we hold their head in the toilet bowl for the full 3 minutes this time

How much meth do you think she's smoked? I don't need an exact amount... when you make your estimate, feel free to round up to the nearest ton.
12At least 3 catalytic converters worth
9METH? A few tons.

But remember everyone, it's not a cult!!!! /s
11Master race you say? Hm…
10Quick, let's just slap her on the wrists with 2 weeks of probation and then wonder why more of this will continue to happen.
9I mean calling a federal judge stupid when you're making material threats on a recorded line... just saying.
9Do yous measure the distance between her eyes in inches, feet, or washing machines?
6Yes.

More like this.
3should have added in Minecraft
2Boner-killing material made flesh. Wanna spew shiat to your drinking buddies, have at it. Pop shiat on someone’s answering machine and then say I was just blowing off steam? Nah. Go sit in a cold cell snacking on NutraLoaf for a few years to accrue some common sense.
