“The Secret Service came to my door today because of a tweet. No threats. No violence. Just words. That’s where we are now,” she wrote on X in a thread about the ordeal.
She was asked about the comments she made online, and she made it clear, “I want to see their trials.”
I want these Nazi put on trial here and then sent to the hauge for another trial
This dude doesn’t look like Secret Service at all. The source is a Leftist fox-news-like, for profit website with info sourced from Elon Musks Grifter Farm (X), of all places.
This really the news and sources we’re accepting here? Just so we can make circle-jerk comments?
And ya know what, Ima be real and take it even further because it’s a trend I’m seeing. A site with low-effort Quality Assurance is prone to be infiltrated by agitators trying to disguise themselves as in groups both for profit and division politics - this is one of those sites and sources. It’s shoddy journalism from a for-profit “journalism” aggregator meant to incite anger and promote interaction, and Lemmy is full of this shit.
I mean hell, the commenters just eat it up too. Jumps in to repeat the same sentiment as all the other commentors in different formats. Lemmy has got to keep the content cycling somehow I guess, nobody is getting on Reddit case for the same bullshit, so I guess it can fly here?
TRUMP SHOULD BE ARRESTED
Calling for trials is a veiled threat? Fuck everyone involved with this administration.
I have yet to see anything that shows what her tweets were. Is it in the article but I’m missing it because I block Twitter?
I block Twitter too so I’m going by what the article says.
He asked her again what she meant by the comment, and she made it clear she was talking about officials having Nuremberg-style tribunals for those who enabled unlawful behavior.
Right but that’s not the same thing at all.
I think the point is that she’s not calling for anything extrajudicial but they’re still coming by to intimidate her.
But without being able to see the tweets I don’t really know what they said. Just someone else’s description of what she said her intent was.
I’m sure it’s still not justified but if they started with “string them all up” or something it’s a bit different.
Just being picky about, you know, knowing what the actual details are.
No. Pretty shit journalism to not include basic facts like that.
Yes, because that is how the administration uses it, knowing the trials would not be fair or just.
I guess they thought “lock them up!” would have been more appropriate? Due process is the worst, I guess
Lol can’t wait to see them at my door. I’m calling for the hanging them all and ice.
Do it in the fash social media town square with an identifiable name and they will. Do it here where only we will largely see and they won’t care. Until the rest of the world and the United States wakes up and ditches these fascist platforms. The fascists will gleefully use them as easy surveillance and intimidation.
If you think they’re not monitoring the fediverse, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
The fediverse from my experience is so left leaning that just by simply existing on it I would presume means you’re on a list for those in power.
Oh sure. But they have to work for it here. Generally people aren’t directly personally identifiable here. Or the system scanning and reporting to them.
I have been on fash media. This ain’t my only social media that I use.
One thing that Trump’s 2nd term has made crystal clear is that pretty much all levels of law enforcement are just filled with bootlickers.
Has there been even a case of one department or union siding WITH THE PEOPLE???
Or are they all just authoritarian living assholes?
We also need more liberals going into law enforcement, we’ve completely seeded those jobs to bullies and morons that get off on abusing power.
You don’t go into law enforcement thinking you won’t be shooting someone in your career. You have to want to use force on people and abandon empathy for humans just trying to survive.
Liberals are ill-equipped and it’s antithetical to the left.
Yep. It feels just like politics. All the asshole pieces of shit keep the decent humans from wanting to be in those fields.
A former buddy of mine joined local LE some years back. They tormented and hazed the hell outta him until he was forced to move to another precinct.
And then it happened again.
Nowadays, he toes the line and has a LOT of really worrying opinions on a lot of things, but he has the respect of his coworkers now.That’s seriously horrifying.
Well there’s tribal police, but you probably weren’t including them.
I thought secret service only visited those who make violent threats against the president.
This seems new.
To cowards, this is violence.
And to those who are guilty. Obviously he doesn’t want a fair trial
The party of “nothing to hide, nothing to worry about” sure really doesn’t want anyone looking into their stuff haha
Credible violent threats specifically.
Trump corrupts everything he touches.
Applying the law to Trump officials is violence, probably terrorism.
It’s old, but he just realized this while watching the Ayatollah.
Just a reminder - I’m sure Kamala’s admin would have been just as bad in every way. But at least under Taco, no one is getting killed in Gaza, right?
Sure bud.
You weirdos are a cult. Losers who couldn’t even win against one of the weakest threat if they had just sided with their base, are now trying to paint themselves as “different”.
I hope kamala signs you an autograph someday, bro. You seem desperate.
LOL, it’s a cult to point out how dumb it is/was to maintain that Donvict and Kamala are virtually the same?
lmao Dunning-Kruger Award for Politics right here 🏆
No one was saying that they are the same. Every one you’re referring to just wanted the Democrats to stand for something. Sorry being against genocide was too much to ask for. Now we are stuck in this and it’s the fault of everyone behind the Harris campaign and those who supported it.
Trying to explain anything to people with this mentality is a lost cause. Unprincipled people simply can not understand principled people.
We all wanted Democrats to stand for something, we just didn’t burn the country to the ground when the candidate wasn’t perfect
Every one you’re referring to just wanted the Democrats to stand for something.
Yeah, nearly everyone that voted Democratic wanted that, too. But some others decided to sit out/vote for someone else.
That sure helped.
Garbage article is garbage.
In July 2022, about 18 months after Biden became president, a regional Secret Service office requested that agents conduct a “preliminary protective intelligence investigation” targeting the Maine man, an Army veteran, for one or more posts on Twitter.
They then show the evidence sheet, and the guy was calling current or former phone numbers of Biden’s family, and when he posted that response on Twitter, it was a reply to a post that said “what illegal things are you doing Friday night?”
Keep in mind, that this is all shortly after a bunch of armed maga chuds tried to overthrow the country. So all in, we have repetitive antagonism through different means, making a specific threat, and a history of this kind of activity in the past.
The whole article is based on documents that the Heritage foundation FOIA’d and released. I trust those guys even less that I trust the current government.
I’m too want to see trials for Trump officials. In the Hague.
Well if somehow law and order stands when this fascist party falls from power. I want to see every congressmember, and white house seated posting tried for treason. If they voted for something or publicly supported something they knew was false or damning to the population, they should be found guilty. And since we haven’t waved the death penalty, I think we should encourage them to remove it.
If they approve the removal of green cards, we should remove all citizenship from their bloodline. It’s what they want, take the trash out
(Also yes, many Democrats will be found guilty as well, your votes should forever be public. You are a representative, a civil servant, you are supposed to be a slave to the population, not the other way around)
To be clear, I wanna see them all [redacted], every last one of them, all need to be [redacted]. There’s no other way to do it, they all need to be [redacted].
Yeah but I hope they all die.
Come on Secret Service, come after this white, cornfed Iowa boy, it’ll look great in the headlines. Whit privilege on the line, fat fucks.
He posted on a socialist website. If they’ll kill Renee Good they’ll kill anybody.
Even insinuating that the law should apply to rich fascists is illegal now. All hail the mobster crime lords, may they live to lie, cheat and steal for all ethernity. Blessings.
I’d like to see the official GOP sponsors of deportations without Due Process deported without Due Process.
Say that again with your license photo ;)
What, she didn’t use her broom as a deadly weapon, making them fear for their lives?
Shouldn’t have even opened the doors for the pigs. Not to mention engage in a conversation as if they deserve any decency. Boot them off your doorstep, immediately.
On one hand I feel a bit for this guy. He knows it’s bullshit as much as she does. But on the other hand, he’s still doing it for the pay check so fuck him. It’s gotta be degrading. But it’s amazing what people will ignore to maintain an appearance of stability.
Making worthless widgets for corporate overlords for a paycheck? Sure, I sympathize. Taking other’s livelihoods, safety, and comfort so you can have your own? Nope.
The problem is. When it comes to authoritarian states of any flavor, capitalist or otherwise. It all starts to become the same thing. Where were the resources for the widgets unfairly extracted from. And how exploited are the ones making them. But absolutely yeah.
Yep. Was it Marx — “There is no ethical consumption under capitalism”?
Tangent but maybe not actually Marx:
The phrase has been around in political circles and on the internet for decades, and it doesn’t appear to have a single originator. It is widely believed to be an amalgamation of ideas from Karl Marx, simmered down into a phrase that people can easily remember.
I have negative sympathy for him. As in he should suffer for working for fascists and enabling fascism.
So you agree.
Yes, but not with “feeling for the guy a bit”.
Yes, probably just a bad choice of words on my part. More that I think we can identify with going through any bullshit motions just to satisfy some body somewhere, just to get by. But just not as a tool of the state to threaten citizens wellbeing. Fuck that shit.
My only hope is that some of those people might be trying to fight and push against fascism from the inside, which is probably better than leaving and being replaced by someone more compliant.
You and me both. Though I will say this. Those leaving, especially the attorneys won’t be replaced so easily. Fighting from the inside still often entails carrying out the violence of the state. But if they could organize mass resignations as a show of solidarity. It would definitely do more good than a slow rotting. But not being a part of it is still good.
Remember when it was easy to compare anyone who supported Trump to a Nazi? Now, it’s an insult to Nazis.
