Assassination threats against Trump flood Twitter
New York Post ^ | 11/11/2016 | Joshua Rhett Miller

Posted on 11/11/2016 1:20:34 PM PST by tekrat

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 businessmancalling 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.

What we need is a full-scale assault on American Communism...we need to bring back the House Committee on Un-American Affairs, and need to task the FBI once more with rooting out Communists and infiltrating Communist organizations, and return the “Just Us” Department to being The Department of JUSTICE!!!!

The House Committee on Un-American Activities and the Senate Internal Security Committee both need to be revived.

I’ve often thought that it’s totally crazy for us to be giving tax dollars to schools that teach communism. I think you should add, “remove public funding from schools that teach communism” to you list. If any school wants to continue teaching communism, they can secure the funds to do so using capitalism.

This forces the gov’t to divert resources from anti-terrorism to investigate those threats. Even if the threats are hoaxes, those who perpetrate them should be prosecuted.

Social media is controlled by left week activists. Maybe they will be impacted economically. Facebook and Twitter are useless to me. If they didn’t exist, I doubt there would be any impact to anything important.

If they are here illegally, charge them as foreign terrorists and imprison them. No free rides back home for criminals. If they live out their prison sentence then deport them permanently.

They do not realize that Trump being elected probably saved their lives. If Hillary had won, many of us, probably in the millions, were preparing for armed conflict. Many of us, who feel we have NO representation in government, also feel we have had no other recourse to stop the assaults against our liberties.

Under Obama we have homosexual marriage forced upon us. We have had the unConstitutional “Affordable Healthcare Act” forced upon us. We have had illegal immigration forced upon us.

The world is topsy turvy because of the last 8 years. And we are tired of being called racists. We are tired of attacks on our liberty. We are tired of injustice prevailing. We are tired of corruption in our government.

If these people keep it up, a Civil War may occur in spite of Trump being elected. They may think they want it, but they don’t know what they’re asking for.

Now that is really smart. I remember when this garbage was talked about Bush openly, along with their little masturbation fantasy movie about it. You hate the guy, so you want to immortalize him and make sure him the top story for the next decade? Morons!

Also they’ve been busy ever since.

I read somewhere today that because of Trump’s victory quite a few illegals have already closed up shop and are heading back across the border.
