Biden speech denouncing Trump, 'MAGA ideology' sparks threats, calls for violence

President Biden’s fiery speech in Philadelphia denouncing former President Donald Trump and what he described as “extreme MAGA ideology” has sparked online calls for violence, including death threats against the president, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News.
Biden’s remarks also prompted immediate concerns from senior counterterrorism officials who said they fear that calling Trump supporters extremists would be viewed as a call to arms and would only inflame an already volatile threat environment.
By Friday afternoon, posts on forums popular among white supremacists and far-right extremists called for the assassination of Biden, and named Jewish administration officials including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as potential targets. Declarations of civil war were also appearing, according to documents detailing some of the threats.
Another thing yahoo did was not allow comments on this article while every other one (10) I click on to just see if they were allowed. All 10 other than this one was allowing comments
Hell they even went through the trouble to Photoshop the background because at no angle this picture was taken could the background came out like this

The voting age population in 2020 was 257 Million people. Trump got 74 million votes. Math is math.
So your argument isbasically like excusing Hitler's killing of 6 million Jews because it wasnt even 25% of the regions population. Any president willing to demonize huge swaths of his own citizens for political gain is far more of a threat to democracy than a crazy guy in a fur bikini walking around the capital. The current occupant of the White House has proven to be every bit as trashy as the drug addict son he raised---but now he's shown himself to be willing to spew divisive hate speech against American citizens---speech that is almost certain to encourage violence against conservative voters.

Exactly, they're demonstrating that the President was correct in what he said and that it needed saying. I also agree with the President that these dangerous extremists do not represent the majority of Republicans, and the ball is now in that quieter majority's court. Follow the orange man down the golden path to destruction, or retake your party for conservatives who support democracy and the Constitution.

RE: *Official Thread* President Biden addresses Nation regarding MAGA threat to democracy
Statement of the obvious: presidents are (or at least should be) held to a much higher standard. Although human, they speak for the nation.
When a Trump apologist dismissively says “mean tweets”, it is a lame rhetorical whitewash of a basic duty of Donald Trump to act as leader of the nation and not as a snot-faced, spoiled child.
When an America-hating progressive makes excuses for the most divisive comments ever offered by a sitting president - - calling 40-plus percent of the population enemies of democracy - - it is as close to a call to arms coming from people whom are not at all prepared for the fight they are inviting.
Acting as if a secret warrant obrtained from a tainted quasi-judge to raid the home of a former president is no different than any everyday criminal investigation because “no one is above the law” is a disgusting cop out. As awful as Donald Trump is, he never did anything anything close to what the Biden team has done in weaponizing their gov’t against the our co-citizens.
Trump is no paragon of responsible leadership, but he is a piker compared to the evil behavior of this current administration.

RE: *Official Thread* President Biden addresses Nation regarding MAGA threat to democracy
It’s so funny.
Liberals are such hypocrites. The now 6 year biatch-fest about Trump has been filled with riots, crime, lies, fake charges, corruption, violence and total division and now these people are freaking out because conservatives are standing up to it all.
It’s similar to when a player runs down the court and, unprovoked, elbows a guy in the nose. No foul called. Then the guy with the bloody nose goes on the other end of the court and elbows the other guy on the gut, he gets ejected from the game yet the guy who started it gets nothing.

I don’t know if you noticed the part where trump tried to get Mike Pence to throw out the results of the election, pressured GA to find the votes, and had states submit fake electors but the part where he actually attacked the fabric of our democracy in an attempt to stay in power pretty much falls into “threat to democracy”.

At 11pm on election night, the odds of Trump losing Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and I think Arizona were each in the BILLION to 1 range.
Each.
And he lost them all. The math on that isn’t calculable.
Nah, nothing fishy there……..
I guess the FBI burying the Hunter Biden stuff before the election is fair game too huh?

RE: *Official Thread* President Biden addresses Nation regarding MAGA threat to democracy
When is Trump getting indicted. What are they waiting for if he is such a "Threat to Democracy"? Whatever that means
The best example of a Threat to Democracy.
1. Sending a mail in ballot to EVERYONE on the voter roll without verifying if they are:
1. Still eligible to vote
2. Still live in the precinct
AND
3. Still alive.
Somebody come up with a better one.

What actions have these extremist groups taken post Jan 6th? What necessitated the führer’s speech Thursday night. Please inform us?

BS, just because you can find a grifter to say it doesn’t mean that’s how statistical probability works or can be applied to elections.
Votes aren’t counted randomly from some big pool of statewide votes. They are counted at the district level and each district will have more or less republicans vs democrats based on demographics. Self selection of mail in vs in person and the bias to democrats there also comes into play when the remaining votes are mail in ballots.
