wonder how they'd feel if some reporters said the same about Obama or Hiliary? Oh, wait, THAT's unacceptable.

Why would anyone want to assassinate Obama so close to the end of his term? 03-drunk

If any regular crackpot put something like that on Twitter they would at minimum be investigated. I hope that happens here

If you're a journalist, you should especially understand that such statements could land you in hot water. Dumb.

EDIT: I did a google search of "Monisha Rajesh" to read a bit more on this, and came up with nothing. I would've at least expected some coverage from right-leaning sites. Is this story legit? I'd understand if she was a total nobody. But if she's on the Guardian, i would've thought I'd see something.

Good grief. I keep hoping the left is going to learn the real lesson of why this went this way, and it appears they won't. Now what's gonna be real interesting to watch is what Trump and the GOP do with the opportunity that the Dems gave them. Will they look to settle scores and grudges, drive a wedge into those that aren't happy right now and alienate them further? Will they reach out to the other side and try to work with them on issues that there can be some compromise on and try to mend some of these wounds? If it's the first it's bad for the GOP long term and the country. If it's the second there are actually inroads to be made and the GOP has the ability to shift what looks like the inevitable dynamics of the country that on the surface seem to be working against them. Clinton massively alienated millennials and the Bernie supporters, and IMO Trump's message actually appealed to a lot of them. Can he sway some of them towards the GOP long term?

These immature idiots (like all the marchers out there) don't understand this country....and probably never will.

These people should be investigated. No one should even joke about assassinating the President.

Fit, my guess it's already being done. I cant remember which member of the Secret Service said it.. but if you even hint at an assassination of a president or president-elect (Hell, even a candidate), the investigation starts pretty much "Immediately".

Journalists Talking About Trump Victory: It’s ‘Time For A Presidential Assassination’
Assassination threats against Trump flood Twitter

[Image: image.jpg]

The hate on the left is reaching levels even I am surprised at. Wait, no I'm not.

Quote:The shock and anger over Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House has triggered a flood of calls on Twitter and other social media outlets for the president-elect to be assassinated — and authorities will investigate all threats deemed to be credible, The Post has learned.

Trump met Thursday with President Obama in the Oval Office, with the Republican businessman calling the hour-plus session a “great honor.” Obama said they had an “excellent” and “wide-ranging” conversation, while urging all people to “now come together.”

But that message of inclusion was apparently lost in social media circles, particularly Twitter, where a simple search can reveal dozens and dozens of calls to gun down the next leader of the free world. Some posts called for both Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence to be assassinated, and there’s even an #AssassinateTrump hashtag.

“Trump chose the literal worst case scenario as VP so nobody would try to impeach or assassinate him,” one user posted on Twitter.

Another user wrote that the “only” remaining question after Tuesday’s historic and polarizing election is who will “assassinate” Trump, who will be inaugurated on Jan. 20. Some users even cited that date as a deadline for the assassination.

Other postings called for users who used the inflammatory hashtag to be contacted by authorities.

Nicole Mainor, a spokesperson for the Secret Service, declined to comment on the posts directly, citing agency policy.

“The Secret Service does not provide information regarding protective services,” Mainor said.

But a security source told The Post that the Secret Service would investigate all social media postings containing credible threats, adding that there’s a difference between someone saying they’re planning to kill the president and suggesting that someone else should attempt an assassination. Generally, indirect threats are not prosecuted, according to the source, and investigators will “prioritize” them before determining their credibility.

FBI officials declined comment, referring inquiries to the Secret Service.

On Saturday, Trump was rushed off a stage in Reno, Nevada, where Secret Service agents took action after an “unidentified individual shouted ‘gun’” in front of the stage. Authorities later took a man, Austyn Crites, into custody, but did not find a gun, the Secret Service said in a statement, according to the Washington Post.

The 33-year-old Crites said the incident will change the rest of his life, he told the Reno-Gazette Journal.

“To what extent, that’s still yet to be seen, but I’m very cognizant that there is going to be a portion of the US population that is going to doubt my true intentions no matter what I say,” he told the newspaper. “No matter what background I have, there will always be people who feel that I’m a sellout or something like this.”

Crites, who was holding a “Republicans against Trump” sign at the rally, was released following the incident. He said the subsequent media coverage, including reports accusing the registered Republican of attempting to kill Trump, has been challenging.

“That is an extremely reckless title to put on somebody who loves the nation and would never do anything like that, would never even think of doing anything like this,” Crites said.

There aren't many Dems left in Washington to reach out to.

Most have been voted out of office the last few years.

It's clear that the Clinton political machine is behind all of this hate-charged rhetoric and it's President Obama's job as still acting President to make a statement. Until he does this one can only surmise that he condones and in some way supports it.

p.s. this will continue as long as the Clinton Foundation money persists.
