Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Tongue in cheek no doubt but why are you making your fed work today?
Wow, dumb.
My fed work?
It is a federal crime to threaten the president with harm or death. It's a guarantee a federal agent will look deeper at people who make statements like the one you made.
Is it really a threat to muse about what could happen as some random person on the internet?
It's not like OP announced to do it or called for it to be done.
I'd see it differently if a person with a lot of followers (especially crazy ones) would dare to think something like this aloud. Does this law cover former presidents as well?
Anyway... Remember: it's a losing battle trying to be tolerant of the intolerant!
Let’s tolerate genocide then too? Wouldn’t want to be intolerant of people who are intolerant.
This is lemmy.
Smart ass.
In normal context, this likely wouldnt amount to a threat however comments like this about high ranking official esp ex Pres will most definitely getting flagged for a review to asses validity of the threat.
This is just how the system works. And these comments attract spooks so people should be mindful.
I am not sure if kill the rich comments get similar attention but i wouldnt be surprised.
Flagged on lemmy, lol. No where else.
No one is looking into me, sooo, you’re wrong.
It is my personal opinion, that his elimination would be better for society. I’m allowed to say whatever I want. And if the “fed” wants to bitch, they can message me and I’ll come down and have a little chat with them. Which will go nowhere, as you know…
They are not coming over becuase the threat is not credible.
Make no mistake that it is being catalogued tho.
You put way too much faith in the US government
When secret service aint banging hookers in brazil, i am pretty sure they do their jobs.
They've had several high profile failures to perform their jobs just this year.
Touché
Well, I’m still here so I guess they’re fucking hookers in Brazil.
I am sure some spook now has to check your profile...
You’re sure about so many things that aren’t correct.
