*Trumper in custody after reading Trump's "enemy of the people" tweet and threatening journalists*

[DemocratSinceBirth]

FBI agents arrested and charged a California man with making threats against the Boston Globe, NBC News reported Thursday.

Robert Chain, 68, was arrested after threatening employees of the newspaper over its recent editorial decrying President Donald Trump‘s anti-press rhetoric.

Per NBC News, Chain was recorded calling into the Boston Globe and threatening to kill employees, echoing Trump’s rhetoric about the media.

“You’re the enemy of the people,” a transcript of the chilling call reads, “and we’re going to kill every fucking one of you.”

“Hey, why don’t you call the F, why don’t you call Mueller, maybe he can help you out buddy. Still there faggot? Alright, why, you going to trace my call? What are you going to do motherfucker? You ain’t going to do shit. I’m going to shoot you in the fucking head later today, at 4 o’clock. Goodbye.”

1. "You going to trace my call?" - Man whose call was being traced.

[LiberalArkie]

16. The phone co had his phone number the

Instant the call completed by someone picking up the phone.

2. Trump is to blame

and ought to be held responsible

[DownriverDem]

10. So very true!

trump incites his supporters every day. The one about there being violence if the repubs don't win is disgusting. We all know that trump won't listen to anyone, but I wish the Secret Service would tell him to knock it off.

[Frustratedlady]

3. If he carried out his threat, Trump should be charged with inciting. I'm sick of his rhetoric.

He is a dangerous man inciting other dangerous and deranged people. How many people must die before the authorities do something about it? This isn't the first instance. They are just lucky they caught him before 4:00...you don't know when it is "Fake".

[Iliyah]

4. Shithole is stroking fear which leads to

ultimate violence while the GOPs remain silent. Seems like the GOPs enjoy what is happening to the USA.

[MarcA]

13. GOP actions to destroy democratic governance and starving the beast

so that the fascists and billionaires can have it all. If they don't support these
actions, the leaders certainly can not be ignorant of the results.

5. Encino Ca. is a pretty upscale community

and just goes to show not all the Trumpsters are knuckle dragging rednecks. They come from all backgrounds.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. And his wife is an attorney.

[RussBLib]

9. No, don't have to be a redneck to be an idiot

or an asshole. Or a racist. There are plenty of "upscale" racists, assholes and idiots.

Educational level alone does not imply intelligence. Lots of priests were "well-educated" before overseeing the slaughter of non-believers.

[Nasruddin]

12. Exactly. Or mentally ill. Or an alcoholic.

31. Obviously he doesn't live next door to the Michael Jackson compound. n/t

[SoCalNative]

32. Or the old Al Jolson estate n/t

[dameatball]

7. Apparently his master plan had some flaws.

[CaptainTruth]

11. Where was he radicalized? Any ideas? nt

[mtngirl47]

23. Good laugh! n/t

[Cosmocat]

14. DEMOCRATS WILL BE VIOLENT!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Trump attracts the crazies

[djacq]

17. Bet he won't get a pardon

[lark]

18. Dems should use this in an ad.

They need to highlight the increase in assaults & murders and murderous threats since drumpf became president, especially the men who assault women and say it's fine because donald did it. Show what happened in Puerto Rico because the president wanted profits more than lives, show that more people died there than in the Repug manmade disaster of Katrina. They need to show murder stats and who committed the murders, trumpers. Show ICE lying and stealing children/babies from their parents and caging them, drugging them and some were even raped and killed. Show the cost of healthcare increasing and all the benefits they have tried to take away like no pre-existing conditions and coverage for mental issues and no coverage for kids uo to age 26. Show how the incomes of the richest have soared and everyone's else has stayed the same or decreased.

[alwaysinasnit]

19. Yup, I can just see it now. If tRump is removed from office, I can hear him calling out to his

faithful base that the FBI and the Democrats are staging a coup, and that his faithful (troops) should look to 2nd Amendment remedies.

[Different Drummer]

20. And if he says that, you can bet one or more idiots would look to 2A remedies. n/t

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. Yup.

I can see it happening. The bigger question is if there is a significant number of Trump supporters in the military, who have been indoctrinated with conservative Christian evangelism, as well as right wing talk radio which is the only thing many bases get. Add that many are "poorly educated" just like Trump likes (so they are more susceptible to conspiracy theories).

All you need is a few corruptible generals, like Kelly, and other higher ranking officers to "stand with our President". We'll have moderate nonpartisan military leaders thrown in jail or stripped of command, while thousands of Trump brown shirts are deputized to help 'cleanse the nation' of coup sympathizers at local levels.

[alwaysinasnit]

25. That is one hell of a scary (and plausible) thought.

[slumcamper]

21. EVIL.

[Hekate]

22. I first read that as "Trump in custody." Gods, talk about a wish-fulfillment fantasy! nt

[saidsimplesimon]

27. From your lips...thanks, so true

[Grasswire2]

26. well look what happens in Uganda when their president attacks FAKE NEWS

28. Hmmmm

"A neighbor who lived across the street from Chain and only knew him as “Rob” said he had a bombastic personality and could frequently be heard yelling at his television.

Tim McGowan said he knew nothing of Chain’s political leanings but assumed he was an old hippie because he wore his hair in a man bun and frequently walked around in just shorts with his big belly protruding.

McGowan said he couldn’t imagine Chain following through with violence, “but I could see him making the threats because he’s such a loud mouth.”
