To think this is going too far now? (Trump)

That a supposed Christian democrat friend hopes there's another assassination attempt on him soon? I know he can be hated but to wish death on someone is just well... going too far?

Oh my god, that'd make him a Martyr.. can you imagine the outpouring and memory loss associated with a successful assassination, the news coverage alone would take over the networks for months...

Trump is very pro gun and lots of innocent Americans die as a result of the US's lax attitude to gun ownership. If Trump falls foul of this I couldn't give one single, solitary fuck.

I saw lots of comments here on Mumsnet saying the same thing when it happened. It was sickening.

I expect the Ukrainians do. Can't blame them to be honest. Whilst it's certainly a bad thing to wish death upon someone, it's a natural enough reaction when facing the possibility of war, misery or great suffering. Nobody knows what will happen in Europe now that Putin will be able to run amok thanks to his little orange piggy across the water. Not to mention the ongoing carnage in the middle east.

He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.

But if your friend is RC or AngloCatholic, they'd do well to seek the sacrament of reconciliation...

Much as i loathe the man, he didn't elect himself. The problem isn't one man. He is a symptom of the problem.

It would definitely expedite Vance's timeline. People are completely unhinged at the moment. It'll settle down.

I doubt it just wait until he follows through with his bans on puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and surgery for minors along with the ban on teaching gender ideology, allowing males into women's toilets, sports and awards. The TRAs will go nuts

tbf, he could lessen the chances of that himself by restricting gun ownership.

Yep, he was democratically elected in a fair election by the majority of the population.

Your friend is anti-democracy in the worst possible way.

No doubt she considers herself a kind and good person on the side of justice, but she is badly wrong about herself. She's closer to the personality type Putin has.

Agree completely.
Like or loathe him the US voted their president -suggesting any human being gets shot is just obscene - and actually inciting violence on the Internet is a crime that now carries a jail sentence so let's see if the police chase the left wing too.
