Yes he implies that with ambiguous language as a way of weaseling out of the legality of threatening violence.

~~No it isn't. See the tweet in context.~~ https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19206531

Hmmm that tweet is dodgy AF. It really is a death threat which is disguised as Dems killing their own. Doesn't reveal that the killer was a Republican.

40 minute uncut video of Tesla robocar in LA. Impressive. It may be a cheat using remote drivers I suppose.

Here is a short video showing Tesla robocar ignoring a school bus' stop signs and flashing lights.

The phrase "Gandhi's words are backed with nuclear" refers to a popular internet meme and in-joke related to the video game "Civilization." In the game, Mahatma Gandhi, known for his non-violent philosophy in real life, has a tendency to become surprisingly aggressive and develop nuclear weapons in later stages of the game. This has led to the humorous association of his name with nuclear power, despite his actual historical stance.

600k Australians protested against the Iraq war in 2003.

The population was about 20m so 3.5% of that is 700k. So if another 100k had joined then the protest would have succeeded?
