Tulsi On James Comey’s Threatening Message

[-]

Nothing wrong with what Tulsi said here.

Comey made a gross error and it really is some degree of a crime. I don’t think it should be super severe penalty but somewhat similar to other death threat cases.

86 means "get rid of."

It does not inherently mean "kill."

Two assignation attempts on Presidents life,..charges are needed. Comey is not an uninformed simple minded person and he did break the law.

[-]

Niauropsaka@reddit

Of course not.

People were calling to "86" Reagan back in his first term--as in to vote him out. It's an old expression.

Right, but context matters. If he made a post that called for people to “take him out” should we give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he means to the movies?

[-]

I think we should hold both sides to the same standard. Trump threw out on the podium that maybe one of the 2nd amendment folks "could take care of [Hillary]". Among other statements. The response from the right is just saber rattling/self-soothing to make a case that the other side is worse. Nothing more.

Same standard, threw people in jail without due process for extended periods for walking around Congress. Comey needs to be charged with something, maybe or maybe not with a bit of jail time. You can be sure some unfortunate others who don’t have expensive lawyers did get jail for such actions.

We can go back and fourth pointing out discrepancies where the law was applied non-uniformly. My statement still stands that both sides should want at least a best-effort uniformity in their application of the laws. This will of course never be possible hence best effort, and anything that deviates should be called out by BOTH sides. If only one side is calling it out, no change will occur.

Maybe comey should have put a gallows out on the Capitol lawn, he coulda got a pardon

[-]

Which-Supermarket-69@reddit

Agreed, trump was wrong. Comey is wrong. To be fair Trump was criticized by legacy media for that comment

The folks that screamed “Hang Mike Pence” are clutching their pearls now?

She has to do dumb shit like this to keep her job and she has to keep her job to keep the US & Iran from going to war on behalf of Israel. Already the neocons tried to get Trump to bomb Iran, but Tulsi, Hegeseth, and Vance convinced him not to. With Hegeseth's days likely numbered in favour of a hawk, Tulsi & Vance are all that stands between US & Iran and war.

Great point

omegaphallic@reddit

Thank you. I still have -4 karma for it, so clearly some can't handle the truth.

[-]

Which-Supermarket-69@reddit

Wear negative karma like a badge if honor

[-]

omegaphallic@reddit

Thank you, I like that.

SoCalSapper@reddit

However you phrase it - it’s a huge mistake from Comey - he just validated all of Trumps wild claims. As a former head of the FBI… massive misjudgment.

Homes, if 86 is assault, then every restaurant’s staff needs to be arrested, and not for the cocaine this time.

[-]

plsobeytrafficlights@reddit

uhhh but did they spell it out with sea shells on the beach? thats the difference.

[-]

serious_sarcasm@reddit

I guaren-fucking-tee some staff at a beach or ski resort has spelled out “86 ‘some asshole’” in giant letters outside.

[-]

SnootDoctor@reddit

I cannot believe Trump-istan is actually taking “86 47” as a threat to their dear leader. It’s not a threat, it’s people projecting.

[-]

zombierapture@reddit

He is usually very good at lying surprised he didn't come up with a better lie for this one.

[-]

gatsby_101@reddit

What a sell-out asshole.

[-]

QuaggaSwagger@reddit

Tulsi? Hard agree

[-]

plsobeytrafficlights@reddit

she has lost all credibility.

[-]

danielid@reddit

lmao long time ago.

Now she's literally sending out propaganda-esque videos.. jfc

[-]

makk73@reddit

I’m not tracking the part where this is a death threat.

That simply isn’t what “86” means.

These people need to stop pretending that it is.

[-]

CalRipkenForCommish@reddit

They’re desperate to ignore an economy heading towards disaster due to tariff bullshit, Putin cucking trump yet again, republicans allowing trump to accept a $400m plane that’s gonna cost another $1b to upgrade, Trump’s desire to waste another $45m on a Moammar Ghaddafi-style military parade, and so much other bullshit that’s killing America that they need to make something out of seashells. Ffs, if comey wheeled a gallows on the Capitol lawn and attacked police officers in an effort to overturn an election he would have gotten a pardon.

[-]

watching_whatever@reddit

Tariffs have brought in extra 45 billion this year. Trump is credited already with stopping the India Pakistan War, and although not successful, is still trying very hard to end Russia-Ukraine War.

[-]

plsobeytrafficlights@reddit

thats the worst take i have ever heard on trump, and there are a lot.
losing trillions to make billions, taking credit for things that didnt happen, ..what?? Comey thinks we should remove and impeach trump? like half the country has been saying for months, big deal. is he even IN government anymore? as far as I know, he holds no office or is even employed.

[-]

watching_whatever@reddit

Time will tell. Tariffs are bringing in hard cash to the Treasury. Note that Trump has had other countries agree to the largest order ever received by Boeing (one example only). Trump is more than active, he is hyperactive trying to solve problems.

Trump has already run circles around the incompetent Biden/Harris teams actions in four years.
