    1. When you sign up for any social media, do it from a throwaway email account that has none of your personal information attached.

    2. Only use end-to-end encrypted messaging apps.

    3. Ideally get comfortable using a VPN whenever you use the internet.

    We live under and advancing fascist regime now. You cannot use the internet the same way you used to.

    “Should” now means shall/will, apparently.

    I mean, yeah, trump should be executed.

    I won’t be the one to do it. (But, whoah boy will whoever gets to push that lethal injection button, or yank that electrocution lever, or firing squad, be some satisfied person, if justice ever finds him)

    But based on facts, he is legally eligible to be executed. By American law. By common law. Etc.

    Anyway, the dude probably shouldn’t have done the whole selfie thing and announced his feelings as such using his actual trackable self in a video.

    With this arrest, I’m sure there will be many to follow for the number of Republicans who have declared hunting season on Democrats. So many arrests. Just you wait. Bigly numbers.

    For Republican hunting reference, please enjoy an old comment of mine:

    Also: Executed and assassinated are not the same things.

      He literally said he would get lots of guns and take care of business himself.

      Making threats against the president will get you arrested. I don’t know what else this guy expected to happen.

      The last decade has proven traditional processes to be ineffective at dealing with him. I don’t think he has many realistic outcomes other than natural causes or assassination; nobody has any trust that the powers that be will actually enact some means of punishment.
