Not sure if this belongs here, the Terrorism forum, or MNS.

Violent threats against the president are OK now?

By Kristin Tate, opinion contributor - 03/16/17 07:20 AM EDT

Turn on TV or browse your newsfeeds on social media, and you will be bombarded with polemics about the sky falling and credible threats of violence against conservative figures.

The FBI investigated a threat to kill Milo Yiannoupolis for the audacity to want to speak on a college campus. Threats against former Labor Secretary nominee Andy Puzder’s wife caused him to withdraw himself from consideration. Multiple intimidatory remarks haunted members of the Trump-voting Electoral College. President Trump has been the target of declarations of violence on a near daily basis.

And yet, when it comes to this constant flow of threats, there seems to be little outrage from the nation’s leading journalists and pundits.

Social media shines almost every day with a new dimwitted threat against Trump and his presidency. “Comedienne” Sarah Silverman called for a military coup. Madonna told protesters she “thought” about blowing up the White House. Violence seems to break out every time a conservative comes to speak at a college campus. Rosie O’Donnell talks about “stopping” Trump on Twitter.
 
Snoop Dogg has done his best to get back on people’s radars since 1998 with his new music video in which he assassinates a clown dressed as Trump. Even if it was just a stunt by the 45-year-old rapper to stay relevant, it was still completely crass and unacceptable.

apparently so as long as the President isn't black or a democrat.

Well, yeah. The Nosy Canine is basically in-your-facing the Trump Administration, saying, "Come get me! Make me a martyr!"

While I think that the 'nosy canine' deserves 'government housing' at, say, ADX Florence, ignoring him is the proper course of action here. :whistling:
