'Going to get ugly': Trump supporter uses work email to threaten 'mass execution of public officials

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-supporter-threats/


Michigan state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D) on Tuesday called out a supporter of President Donald Trump who sent a threatening email to lawmakers.

"This was sent to my office this evening from Randall Yaeger, who chose to send it from his work email at Yaeger Construction. This email has already been sent to the authorities," Pohutsky said in a Facebook post.

Yaeger's email repeated debunked claims of massive voter fraud and warned that "American voters will now be forced to change our government officials with bullets instead of ballots."

The threatening email also "predicts" that the "mass execution" of public officials will begin "very soon" unless Trump is given a second term as president.

Who believes he is entitled.

I find it interesting that 45 believes he "owns" the swing states because he won them 4 years ago.
He acquired them.

In his mind they belong to him. His followers are following his lead. He's a bad businessman, who has used lies, coercion, strong arm tactics to acquire properties, and once the deal is made they are his. He feels that way about the presidency, and his loyal base feel the same way.

Interesting. Misguided. Dangerous.

They think that they have more guns and the police on their side. In a war, they lose both of those and their neighborhoods become targets. That is why I would rather see the country split in two rather than have a civil war, in such a war, both sides will have their ruthless killers that don’t care for humanity.

Even if they're over-educated like my former BFF's husband, who holds two Master's degrees, a law degree, and a Ph.D. Deep down there is some fked-up sh!t going on inside people like that who obviously should know better, but chose to align with someone like Trump and completely ignore all of the horrors just because that miserable fker has an "R" after his name.

This was a values test MAGAts and you have FAILED!!!

Stupid is as stupid does. The Stupid Brainwashed asking to get arrested, charged, convicted and sent to State Prison.

BTW, DC needs more than DC Police to protect the Congress on January 6 from the hordes of armed fascists (pRoud baby-boy$).

An inept email threat and a terrorist bomber who announces the explosion beforehand, and on the spot.

Usually these types phone in the tip-off moments before and the system may, or may not, work quickly enough.

But. Are these dress rehearsals for the weeks ahead? Will they flush others so inclined out of hiding and into action?

We should all be worried.

of ballots. So cute, aren’t they? I actually heard that said at the checkout counter at my local building supply vendor of choice. I am writing the owners to express my dismay at clerks participating in that conversation while I was standing there waiting for service.

Right now is coming from white militant people. I think it's hard for them to accept, but they're going to have to crack down and make arrests. They can't look away for much longer.
