At what point can the Justice Department start considering his statements as threats or incitement of violence? (Not that Garland would ever have the stones to do anything about it this close to the election)

Or, you know, Republican party leadership could grow a spine and condemn this language at the very least, if not pull their support from Trump. These kinds of things would have been disqualifying for any other candidate.

Why we have to just put up with this nonsense is beyond me.

I agree entirely with the sentiment and rationale. I patiently remind you it doesn't matter since his SCOTUS appointments effectively negated 1/3 of our government, thus guaranteeing region destabilization for the next 20 years. Just like the foreign powers that empowered him intended.

I remember when a guy got so excited his voice cracked on a stage at a rally and that torpedoed his whole political career

Now we have this gestures in bullshit

I remember the data on that was some hundreds of airing of a sound-edited clip, and one 30 second admission of fault was played. Manipulation.

The DoJ will get involved if the perpetrator does not have a following of millions of rabid cultists and is poor.
