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.
30% 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.
This 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.
Freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences of said speech. If you go and say some ish then you better be able to handle the consequences of saying the things you’re saying.
So, like, what do you have then?
What is there to be ‘free’ from?
