Not surprised by this political base but journalists are just that. CNN is not completely objective but it goes beyond simple disagreement when you threaten a journalist.

Death threats to just about anyone for anything is nothing new.

The assassination plot by British citizen:

And some think that funny pictures/ memes allegedly from Russians are attempting to undermine our democracy.

I oppose death threats.
What you did here is both instructive and disturbing.
Everyone should oppose death threats.
To state so shouldn't be necessary.
But had I not, some wag would claim my tacit approval.
Things have been that way here lately.

Why do I just think this is mostly Fake News?
And then given a fair trial.
Note that one link is to NPR, who is no fan of Trump.
(They claimed similarity to Hitler. NPR...our tax dollars at work.)
Because it's hard to face that one's side has malefactors.

Still doesn't make it acceptable, and while it isn't something new, is it something that's has been escalating.

People who make death threats leave yellow streaks on the floor when people take them up on it.

If the FBI, NSA, and the CIA can supposedly track down alleged Russian meddlers that use memes to undermine our democracy, would it not be an easy task for them to track down people who make actual death threats to political figures and their families?

What do you make of the drone bomb attack in Venezuela? Purportedly they say that the financing for it came from Miami, Florida. Six have been arrested so far and considering this is Venezuela I imagine those six are having a very bad night, only time will tell.

I think that the threat was internal, though Trump did mention invading Venezuela. What in the hell is wrong with him? This would be Warmongering.

Rumour has it that was fake news too.

It's part of the territory I would think. Death threats are never a good thing obviously but it's hardly a surprise given the nature of news reporting and how it's being reported that can bring all types out of the woodwork .
