A Texas woman has been charged with threatening the life of the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s election-interference case, telling her, “If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you. So, tread lightly, removed.”
Abigail Jo Shry is accused of calling Judge Tanya Chutkan’s chambers on August 5 and leaving a voice-mail that began with, “Hey, you stupid slave n- - - - -,” according to court papers. Shry continued by saying, “You are in our sights. We want to kill you,” saying that Chutkan and her family will be “targeted personally, publicly.”
Shry then referenced Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston, who is also Black, adding that “we want to kill” her too.
Homeland Security agents visited Shry’s home days later for questioning after connecting the phone number used to make the call to her. According to the criminal complaint, Shry admitted to making the call to the agents and indicated that she had no plans to travel to Washington, D.C., or Houston to commit any attack. However, Shry reportedly added that the agents would need to “worry” if Lee traveled to Alvin, where she lives. During a court appearance, she was denied bail and ordered to be held in custody for at least a month, according to the New York Times.

He’s dangerous for everything and everyone, including his own supporters, who often end up either in jail, or even dead, because they were followers of his. Even his lawyers end up getting screwed just because they worked for him.
Sooooo like a cult?
saying “like” implies I isn’t an actual cult
wow, flashback!
What’s terrifying to me is how grown adults just follow this persons words in cult like behaviour. If someone I thought highly of was telling me to attack people I’d think they’re insane.
I can understand people who are not mentally well off being taken advantage of or swayed easily but that’s nowhere near the amount of his cult who happily follow what he says or eat it all up just to be hateful.

I think the country will gain some relief once he passes. Political Trumpism will be with us for a long time but I’m not sure there’s anyone who will be able to replace his cult leader personality that fires these people up.

I’m always so baffled as to how. He has the oratorical skills of a third grader in the remedial class.
I’d push back a bit on this optimism. Cults of personality do have trends that reflect certain geopolitical/societal realities, and I’m even more wary of how Trumpism and cults of personality evolve and change through the generations.
That said, I will make an effort to pay my respects when Trump dies with a big bouquet of my own feces.
just another Trump coward who can’t handle the truth… you all got some long nights ahead…

she’s standing up for defending herself against Reality, and don’t kid yourself into believing anything else… because she’s gonna try to hide from it, and force YOU to deal with it for her… stop being understanding… she isn’t… they’re all HOSTILE…
Sadly, I’m sure this won’t be the last time this happens.
They need to throw the book at Trump and all of the other fascist pricks that think that it’s acceptable to trample all over our democracy and legal system. I’m sick of treating these fuckers with kid gloves, especially when so many people have been jailed (or worse) for far less.
I love that begining. Trump voters can say that is not them but they associate with them and they have no problem with people who are like that.

How do you get this dumb? Why on earth would she say that? Whether she plans to act on her threats or not there is nothing for her to gain from saying that.
I get that she’s despicable. But my god she’s monumentally stupid as well
