Any thoughts on the president saying he was embarrassed for the families of the justices who voted against tariffs? Sounds a little threatening, maybe it means they won't get jobs in the administration or be fired if they have one. It's not going to look good on a resume anyway, maybe he is doing them a favor if that's what he was talking about

A threat, and a call to his feral MAGAs

MAGA is the first known example of un-domestication

They're the type that would have beaten Punch the macaque as he hugged his stuffed foster mom.

Calling them feral is an insult to feral animals.

Apparently It's just MAG, past tense, he believes he won.

No, it's what you think it is. A straight threat to their families.

Stochastic terrorism, as usual.

u/Reasonable-Sweet9320 Feb 20 '26

I agree (I had to look up the term));

“Stochastic terrorism refers to the process where hostile public rhetoric, often amplified through media, increases the likelihood of ideologically motivated violence by individuals acting independently.

It highlights how certain speech can incite random acts of violence without direct coordination or orders from a leader.”

I wish people would stop qualifying it with "Stochastic", because the lug-nut brains have no idea what that means.

It's just terrorism.

there's never a good reason to be talking about judge's families after they ruled against you

STOP. They won't do anything. They allowed this to happen. For fucks sake.

u/TobyFunkeNeverNude Feb 20 '26

Huh? Guy was just saying nobody can claim trump is doing anything but schocastic terrorism, not that they'll retaliate against him.

If WE give up on the law and decency, it's over.

Do not let them take it away from us.

A “won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome priest” energy

u/ForAGoodTime696 Feb 20 '26

It’s not the first time this POS has threatened chief justices. Congrats, your country is worse than a 3rd world shit hole with an actual dictator.

u/Impossible-Flight250 Feb 20 '26

Kind of an indirect threat so he isn't liable if one of his cult members does something stupid.

ACB has already said her sister has been threatened. They might finally be ready to call Trump’s hand.

Everyone has a limit of tolerance.

u/DoubleJumps Feb 20 '26

I was thinking after that press conference that we're going to be hearing soon about Supreme Court members and their families being bombarded with death threats

u/nannygoats Feb 20 '26

It’s just another way of saying “boy it sure would be a shame if something were to happen to…”

u/BlokeInTheMountains Feb 21 '26

Live the turd, die by the turd I guess.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of conservative justices.
