Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You know, at a certain point, if he doesn’t shut up, it crossed the line into justification for his assassination.
I don’t know where that line is, and quite honestly, I hope we don’t have to find out because the last thing we need is that guy as a martyr.
But I really hope he shuts the fuck up.
Trump committed treason on national TV when he asked Russia to help him get elected in 2016...and they did the next day.
We're way past that point.

The last few elections and the clusterfuck of a primary show that nobody can run on trump but trump.
So... No worries about him being a martyr.
I'm an eloquent motherfucker, but I don't have sufficient words to express my contempt for Trump. I still don't think I could ever consider assassinating him to be justified.
My question is, isn't this conspiracy to commit murder?
You have to take some action towards it for it to be conspiracy. Just talking isn't enough.
words aren't the only form of communication. Punching him in the face would certainly be adequate... and therefore must certainly be protected speech.
No? at best it's raising a legal question. In very extreme cases, self defense can be premeditated. abused women who can't reasonably escape the abusers, for example. The question is, at what point does a political candidate making threats to execute and murder his political opponents cross the line into that extreme scenario?
It's not like I'm actively plotting his assassination, and neither are you. Conspiracy is far more deliberate, it involves specific actions. It's an uncomfortable conversation to have, sure, but it's probably one somebody who can muzzle Trump should be having with him.
Like, the plot to kidnap Whitmer, that was a conspiracy. This? nope.
Also, just for the record, that line is probably somewhere around the same time civil war becomes imminent.
