Buzzfeed journalists caught wishing for assassination of Trump

[Deblano]

I've liked Buzzfeed ever since they broke that Brock Turner story with the powerful victim impact statement. Come to think of it, that's the only Buzzfeed story I can remember other than the Trump dossier. I think it helped a lot of people. Liberals really need to be more careful with their online social behavior, however. Conservatives seem to be better at keeping secrets and maybe it's because they're more accustomed to their views being in the minority in urban areas.

And people need to stop calling for political violence on the internet in general.

I have seen several calls for assassination on Trump, Bannon, Pence, and other politicians since November 9, and it is absolutely mind-boggling how many people are so willing to get a knock-knock from the Secret Service.

It's a horrible thing to say, but this is Buzzfeed we're talking about, so what do you expect?

Ugh. You can't say anything anymore without the PC police throwing a fit.

Political Correctness in this country is out of control!

huh, never really pegged Buzzfeed as being full of Mike Pence fans.

In private, most Democrats/liberals have said something like this. When a figure is as reviled as Trump the phrase "I will dance on his grave" will almost always turn into "I hope someone gets him" after a few drinks. No one actually means it, of course, but the point is to signify that the person uttering these comments hates Trump.

Maybe Republicans shouldn't have elected a walking bucket of turds and dildos!

Really bad if true, but I honestly couldn't read the conversation over the graphic. Was this expressing hope that something happens (jokingly/non-seriously or not) or just saying what if or "something might happen?" As in the Warriors might not win the Finals this year, there could be a nuclear war.
