The missing context is that this is directed at ISIS, not the general public

It’s still a tweet that should not be posted by any account of such importance, but they’re not quite just saying outright to the populace in general “we’re gonna kill you”

Good thing we all trust the federal government to give due process to people they will accuse of being ISIS agents working domestically in the US.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago

True, but FFS, really? Does that even need explaining?

These people are so dumb, so dumb. And petty. It's like watching 15yo bullies living out their revenge fantasies

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 16 points 2 days ago (7 children)

They’re disappearing people on the street in and they’re posting no context tweets saying “WE WILL FIND YOU-AND WE WILL KILL YOU”. I’d hold off on sounding so sure about what they mean for now.

Oh c'mon, a little sanewashing never caused any damage.

Who was this directed at ?

Its cropped to exclude that this is replying to something about bombing caves for Houthis

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure, because that's what responsible governments not run by murderous psychopaths tweet even in that situation.

[–] Wuorg 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I hate that Americans are so "war on terror" pilled that all we need to be ok with civilian casualties is that there was a single guy that the government says was a terrorist there.

who the fuck are they talking about?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 46 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think they're referencing Liam Neeson in the movie Taken in a lame attempt to sound like they're badasses.

Or are you asking who they're threatening? You weren't invited to the "Houthi PC Small Group" chat on Signal along with everyone else?

I think they’re referencing Liam Neeson in the movie Taken in a lame attempt to sound like they’re badasses.

What they’re actually doing is sounding like edgey teenagers.

Is there a not joke answer or does the white house want us all to feel mildly concerned and/or afraid right now?

We need to remember this when the revolution comes, and people are hesitant to start shooting. THIS is how they see us. We need to see them the exact same way.

[–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I'm finally black pilled on Republicans. I thought for years that they were just uneducated morons that could be redeemed. I then realized with the second administration that no, they're just intellectually inconsistent and will do mental gymnastics ensuring they are never wrong nor accountable.

I feel like an extremist because I don't see a solution that isn't forced education or prison. Ignoring them doesn't work, making fun of them doesn't work, they've overcome societal safeguards and are immune to feelings of regret.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't see a solution that isn't forced education or prison.

Dissolution back into independent states, with an underground railroad to get sane people out of the red states.

Yeah I know it sucks. This whole thing sucks. I wish we hadn't lost the war over information, but now this is where we're at. If we're worried about external threats, we could accept Denmark's offer.

You may be underestimating the number of conservatives in blue states.

The Nazi party was more of a sophisticated evil than these idiot MAGAts. I can't wait to see the Nuremberg style trials for these scum.

I'll take "What is terrorism?" for 500$, Alex.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Domestic terrorism.
Overseas terrorism has been integrated into the culture now.

Meanwhile, we're not even allowed to say on Lemmy, and definitely not on Reddit or X, anything about enforcing the legal punishment for treason.

[–] ButtDrugs@lemm.ee 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think that's specific to .world.

[–] FragrantGarden@lemmy.today 17 points 2 days ago

Yep, that's why I changed my instance. Bootlickers

This should be the top new story for every news media outlet. They should be covering this Tweet in deep detail. What does it mean? Why did they send it? Who suggested it? Who wrote it? Who approved it? Who are they addressing it to? Is it approriate for the White House to be threatening to kill anyone?

If HitlerPig doesn't declare Martial Law and suspend elections, then this Tweet should be the centerpiece of EVERY election campaign.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 7 points 1 day ago

Yes. What the fuck?!? This is reminiscent of an abusive relationship when she tries to leave.

[–] celeryfc@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was about isis terrorists in Somalia.

Say what you want about the Nazis, at least they had style.

And I'm saying that, with the meaning that Nazis are scumbag monsters that should all have been lynched slowly after WWII.

This, somehow feels like they want to be worse but they're too incompetent to be worse

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Any context whatsoever on who "you" might be?

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

The poor of America.

[–] damdy@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Isis terrorists in Somalia apparently. According to the source posted in this thread. Still a fucked thing to say.

Officially its terrorists in Somalia or Yemen or whatever. Unofficially its everyone who is not a white christian.

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Its isis. The photo is edited to remove the included re-tweet of some alleged bombing isis footage.

Everyone has heard the hypothetical "if I could timetravel I'd kill Hitler", right? Well, now's the opportunity to depose of multiple aspiring Hitlers. Luigi Mangione laid the groundworks. They might not be building concentration camps, yet, but their greed is causing suffering of and/or killing just as many if not more.

So, you can run and tell that?

Nuremberg 2: American Boogaloo

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago

Thank god, I was afraid Israel was getting away with genocide. But I do hope they bring them to court instead of killing them. You have to give a good example you know.
