    Yeah, the justice department has been really lax with this stuff. AFAIK that’s not protected speech, and if you start jailing the first ones it’ll stop. Stirring up hate towards someone to the point they get death threats has become a normalised part of the discourse on the right now.

      Even a statement of “authorities are working on tracking these people down to charge them” would scare a lot of these people off.

        • they said they are coming to get us, Ilya
        • let’s hope they do, Piotr… I’m so tired of this! What do we have today, by the way? Insults, death threats or stupid memes?

      A.G. Garland is a conservative. Trusting a conservative to act in good faith as A.G. was a huge error in judgement by this administration. That error has come very close to costing us our democracy.

      A conservative should absolutely never be granted any position of authority. A conservative does not have a moral compass and can only act to benefit themselves or their in-group.

        Definitely agree. Democrats have been afflicted with centrist West Wing brain where they’ll give the reigns of the justice department, FBI, CIA and military to Republicans because they hope that’ll make Republicans respect them more or something? It’s just a constant barrage of own goals. Even the guy that was supposed to investigate Trump was a Republican that had been a member of his golf course.
