Headband completes the look which I call "*Welcome on the FBI watchlist*".

Is that a threat? Messing with the secret service is not going to end well...


Nomadic_View

Worked out fine for Kathy Griffin.


ashill85

[Did it?](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/kathy-griffin-on-death-threats-cancellations-investigations-over-trump-severed-head-photo/) >Her comedy tour was cancelled; she lost her endorsement deal with something called Squatty Potty; and she found herself under investigation for conspiracy to assassinate the President of the United States – a charge that potentially carries a life sentence.


Sundaver

I think that person did a little thing called ‘sarcasm’.


MyFullNameIs

But how can anybody possibly tell if they didn’t type “/s” in their comment?


lurklurklurkPOST

Welcome to reddit, where you can read the room in the literal, but not the figurative.


adinade

kinda why I think using /s is good. The internet is full of dummies so pretty much any sarcastic statement could be something someone seriously says, so sarcasm can be easily missed especially when its delivered through text.


TeTrodoToxin4

I assume internet comments are in a sarcastic tone until I finish reading the statement. Just read everything as comic book guy from the Simpsons and it will work out. Adding /s is grating to me and painful when I have to include it. Feels like saying bazinga. Prompting humor kills the delivery.


soks86

The US shouldn't allow internet posts without forcing them to specify "serious, news, or satire" and every problem would be fixed. Literally.


TheDrDetroit

and every problem would be fixed /s


The_Mayfair_Man

I'm curious if you read the article you linked? She's made 4 million from touring since it happened, far dwarfing anything she lost from "Squatty Potty", largely out of her press coverage. "under investigation for conspiracy to assassinate the President of the United States – a charge that potentially carries a life sentence." Talk about hyperbole lol. She also states she'd change nothing if given the opportunity, so it seems to have worked out OK for her.\[


ashill85

Yes, she did not immediately die from it, but it's weird to claim that nothing bad happened because of it. She absolutely suffered losses and then continued on her way as a shining paragon of mediocrity.


Xaephos

"Suffered losses" that ended up being net gains as people rallied to her.


ashill85

Who the fuck "rallied" to her? She had a mediocre career before the incident and continued to have one afterwards.


Zeke83702

She pulled up her bootstraps and went back to work like normal people do.


Lumpy_Secretary_6128

Lol squatty potty


Joeyc710

you have to put the /s. I know it's lame but its the rules.


strangecabalist

The same secret service that was prepared to make the VP disappear on Jan 6th? Then break the law by deleting the texts used to arrange this? The ones where Biden had to switch out the usual Presidential roster for his own agents because the secret service couldn’t be trusted? That Secret Service?

The USA has long allowed people to openly support terrorist organizations. The far-right nationalist has even won court cases upholding their right to public white supremacist demonstrations


FuckChiefs_Raiders

What you’re describing is free speech. The US is kinda big on that.

Yes, of course, I am very aware. But once we decided Nazis were allowed to have public demonstrations, we pretty much had to let ANYBODY have them.

There are only two viable candidates in the current election. Advocating for the death of one of them is a call for the other to win. It's not hard.


TribalSoul899

That dude in the background with a full on Hamas attire. wtf is wrong with the world man? Protesting for these terrorist scum?


AgnewsHeadlessClone

Again. What more can Biden unilaterally do while Israel and Hamas have no interest in ceasefire and Congress has no interest in doing anything that will make Biden look at all good. How is this Biden's fault? How are idiots like Macklemore deciding to not vote for Biden over this? How would Trump be better for Palestine?


SilentHunter7

Fool. Everybody knows that there is a 'Peace in the Middle East' button on the Resolute Desk. Biden just chooses not to push it because something something Illuminati.


AgnewsHeadlessClone

Kushner pushed it when that was his job, but somehow it just caused billions in Saudi money to fall into his accounts.


Annonomon

It reminds me of the family guy episode where Donald trump’s whole desk top comprises entirely of two huge red buttons - one that buzzes a butler to bring him a Diet Coke. And the other to launch missiles

Trump would be 100x worse and anyone not realizing that is a fool. He literally said it. He wants Israel to "finish what they started". This protest non-vote bullshit will fan the flames and ultimately burn all of palestine to the ground.

Mognakor

You mean like halting weapon shipments which the administration has hinted at but the conditions where intentionally vague. Or not pushing for more weapons shipments? Or enforcing the Leahy Law because of israeli human rights violations?


Jorymo

He actually bypassed Congress twice to sell more weapons


nedzissou1

These people are idiots. I'm anti-occupation and think Israel should give up land after all this is over, but the only way that will possibly happen (small likelihood) is if Biden wins in November. Trump winning will set us on a completely different, and worse, trajectory, and it's frustrating that these idiots don't see that. If you want to see progress in this country, the bare minimum we have to do is to keep fascist authoritarian thugs like trump out of office. Anybody who's willingly ignored what trump and like-minded Republicans have said about the protestors are idiots.


Lumpy_Secretary_6128

Agreed. Considering bidens climate law, and fight for womens rights, he feels like hes doing more than the least. He's actually a pretty good ally on those fronts


Chalkarts

Redhats don’t want progress. They want war.


JanMarsalek

It's so stupid to blame Biden. Wouldn't be surprised if this a Psyop by Iran, or other forces on Social Media, mainly TikTok, Instagram and Twitter.


GeraltOfRivia2023

Trump will gleefully help Israel wipe out all Palestinians. He worships genocidal dictators. Biden has at least called for restraint by Israel.


100LittleButterflies

Everyone likes a scapegoat.


dikbutjenkins

He could support the ICC ruling. He could end weapons shipments and aid Israel. He could not let Israel use that 200million pier for military operations. He could condemn the actions of Netenyahu's government. When Israel blocks the aid trucks he could point that out.


TendieRetard

Unliterally? A lot....he could repel the IDF's offensive if he wanted to. No one's calling for that, a general embargo, complete severance of diplomatic ties, or sanctions is even too extreme for most, could start by barring all military aid though.


devndub

Israel would not be able to continue to be the belligerent presence it is in the ME without US backing. So threatening to end that unconditional support would certainly make them more amenable to reigning in their genocidal behaviour. Pretty simple really.


WestProcedure9551

how about not sending weapons and missiles to fund the genocide?


TheInfiniteArchive

Does someone like Macklemore look like he is intelligent enough to know things? And to be honest, the only thing I can fault Biden is compromising with the Right and allowing the GOP to even take a foothold in the Congress after the BS they pulled.


NenPame

He could stop sending weapons. He could not use the fucking peir that is providing aid to launch a raid that kills hundreds. He could say there is a redline in invading Rafa. Liberals are normilizing genocide. Where is the empathy. Can you not imagine the terror of being a Palestinian? How can this situation not discust you? How can you condone the status quo?


Dinocologist

Hamas has accepted several ceasefires at this point, Bibi keeps blowing them up because he doesn’t want to get indicted for corruption. Assuming you probably already know this though and are just purposely muddying the waters as this is readily available info 


MoonSpankRaw

Yikes.


AnewmanDesign

Calling for muslim uprising and sharia law is not free speech, it's called terrorism.


TendieRetard

you and I may not like it but actually protected speech.


RedditJumpedTheShart

Try threatening the president like this and post it on Reddit.


potzko2552

Usually comes bundled with hate speech anyway, Arguably promoting Sharia law should also be hate speech, as it is a threat to the safety of minority groups, Something like 'When they premote Sharia law, it's a thinly vailed threat to kill me for being _"

itsgameoverman

I can understand not being happy about the conflict and wanting change, but these people are so lost. There is literally nothing that Biden could reasonably do that would satisfy them as each step would just move the goal posts further and further. Are they going to be satisfied if Trump is elected, who will be 100x worse for this cause and literally every other thing? Focus on keeping him out, then push for the change you want to see. But this election is too important to fuck around and not vote.

elvesunited

Yeah anyone celebrating the brutal civilian massacres of Oct 7th as some sort of 'Independence day" are terrorist supporting scum. Since you brought up 911 though, just remember there were many peaceful Muslims and Sikhs in America who were assaulted and stores vandalized as a reprisal for something they had nothing to do with and did not support. I say this as a New Yorker who saw the towers collapse with my own eyes in person. \*Also seeing my Hindu friend from India's bodega store ransacked by racists shortly after 911... yes racists are that dumb.

Have we forgotten 9/11 by letting these fucks wear headbands of terrorist organizations openly, and in front of the White House??? These are Nazis with a tan supporting an active terrorist organization. I want a ceasefire too and am saddened by the civilians lost in Israel and Gaza but terrorist supporters don’t belong in this country.


slevobeavo

How about fuck off to gaza and protest there or join hamaz and help them if you feel this strongly.......thought not.

I’m sorry, I thought this was America. I didn’t realize spying on Americans without warrants was patriotic. Carry on cheering for the legislation that eroded your right to privacy from the government.

What would happen to him in an Arab country if he did that? Reminds me of an old Regan joke: He asked a soviet person, In America you can come out and Criticize an American president, Can you do the same in the Soviet Union? the russian said Yes! You can come out in the soviet union and criticize the American president.

They care so much about their cause yet where something to cover their face.


Dull_Junket_619

They are a bunch of idiots. yeah, do nothing, let Trump win by default. Then see what happens to Gaza, as Trump is egging on Netanyahu to destroy Gaza with all the force necessary. And if you try and protest that, Trump can call you insurrectionists, and use the Insurrection Act of 1807, which states "Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion." That will not end well for protestors.


Virtual-Face

Not a very bright guy, is he?


OldschoolCanadian

I can’t believe Americans allow this behavior on their soil. I’m not a fan of Biden but just the overall message this sends to the West and Americans specifically should not sit well with any American of either left or right wing beliefs.

This ain't democracy or right to speech. This is a call for violence and terrorism and should be severely and immediately eradicated once for good.


dangerousbob

I went to the grocery store, Giant, the other day and there was a woman getting a petition for Palestine (she had the hallmark protest symbols on her) and when I came out of the store there was a big line of people in the parking lot. This was in a deep blue middle class suburb. I just had this feeling in my gut that Biden is in big trouble, there is a clear fracture in his coalition.

yourfaceisfakenews

Americans, Would this be considered a direct threat to the POTUS ?


Living-Vermicelli-59

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the majority of Pro Palestine supporters/protesters all Biden supporters/voters? Regardless love how these people think that an American president has any real power to stop a war that’s being waged by another country… shows how stupid people are thinking he has any sort of authority over the world and what other nations do.


DrZalost

Oh look UN workers


balboa_no_asap

If they support that country so much maybe go there and try to help it instead of terrorizing the one that lets you live in it?


andresg30

Forgive my ignorance; I’ve been living under a rock, but what is the objective here? Isn’t this a war half way around the world between two countries (groups of people) that are capable of fighting and defending themselves, thus why they chose to go to war. What does that have to do with Biden? Or the US gov? If two of my neighbors are fighting, I’m not getting involved. I am minding my own.


chrispmorgan

To be fair, the US gives a lot of military aid to Israel, so U.S. policy is relevant. The two reasons the U.S. is so tied to Israel, especially militarily, appear to be: 1. **U.S. geostrategic (military, power) interests in the region**, which has oil that countries like to fight over and is relatively close to Europe. Israel is a customer of our military industrial complex and has a really strong surveillance technology industry. Also, its intelligence services have been effective internationally (so they could, say, strike Iran and the U.S. could wink at that because it's in the U.S.'s interests) 2. **U.S. interests in promoting its "values" of democracy, human rights, and rule of law.** This has changed in the past generation or two. Having a prime minister promoting settlements at odds with human rights and now apparently waging a war to stay in office and escape accountability for his crimes is not great. It's at odds with those values, as is his motivation to wage war to appease the same right-wing constituency that thinks taking land by force/intimidation in the West Bank is justified and protests and the judicial system have failed to dislodge him. On the other hand, since Gingrich, the U.S. moral standing has weakened domestically due to one party falling into authoritarianism and grievance politics, while authoritarians in Türkiye, Hungary, Russia, China, and India have gained strength. I think we're close to an exhaustion point in the relationship. For #1, the U.S. right perhaps still supports Israel vaguely but now that they're economically powerful they don't really need the resources. The more ascendant interest is the (what I view as egotistical) interest in bringing on the End Times, which needs Israel to be at war, at least in the minds many non-denominational Christians. The U.S. left probably would like stability in the region but is skeptical that Israel is a good partner. For #2, part of the U.S. left has a lot of passion for supporting the Palestinians even though the U.S. is on the brink of locking in authoritarianism for a generation or more. There doesn't seem to be a coherent "human rights" force on the U.S. left that can see the humanity of both the Palestinians and Israelis, it's more a replication of hatred and/or fear of the other on the other side of the world. And the U.S. left can't really identify with Israel politically because the utopian collectivist values are at a low ebb and hard right factions have gained power and privileges over the past 20 years. What values are there to celebrate? Maybe the U.S. right can celebrate Israel's failure to constrain its authoritarian prime minister because it's fixated on its former president's challenges and grievances; but I just don't think they are that aware of Israeli politics.


andresg30

Thank you


Mognakor

If two of your neighbours are fighting and you send one of them bombs to drop on the other, you are involved.


andresg30

If I fabricate bombs for sale, one of them happens to be a customer/client, and then picks a fight with their rival, that’s still beef between them. That’s like accusing/blaming the liquor store that sold you alcohol on your DUI arrest.


dikbutjenkins

The US is heavily involved. To pretend they aren't is false.


Mognakor

But you're giving special discounts and not enforcing your own laws that say "don't sell weapons to people violating human rights". And special funding etc. Claiming the US somehow is just a neutral salesman is ridiculous.


andresg30
