I feel like pointing out the ignorance or cowardice in this statement is just playing their game.

The main purpose of the statement is to get a scary sound bite from a high ranking government official that the media can use to "credibly" scare millions of people who don't pay close attention to the world around them, and make the American dictatorship more palatable to them.

Then there's always the secondary benefit of rubbing their open hypocrisy in their enemies' faces.

His protection of pedophiles is the most threatening thing I’ve ever seen.

US House Speaker A Giant Fucking Pussy

I suppose that's probably tied for the most threatening thing against ICE he's seen, but that's because nothing particularly threatening has been done at all. So, technically the truth?

Must be a candy ass life, then.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

What a pussy. You live in a state with alligators and this is the most threatening thing you've ever seen? What a loser.

Has he seen the school board meetings about banning books?

Lmao, Christians are too funny to me. Violence and murder, a-ok; little bit of nudity, "they're very threatening!"

we should show him a pike and shot line so he can compare the two

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Just wait till No Kings II. We're going to turn out so peacefully it just might scare him into a coma.

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder what his thoughts are with Adam & Eve... or Adam & Steve, as rumors suggest.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, he must never get out of his house then

[–] beemikeoak@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

What I'm hearing is that people should get naked in a reverse psychological leverage attitude?

[–] Geekocracy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To be honest, I thought the furies dancing was way more disturbing

That racist loser would hold the same opinion for a FKK (Freikörperkultur, Free Body Culture) beach in Germany.

Careful, men - those guys are packing!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Motherfucker hasn't met me yet. Because I'm far more threatening to ICE than anything Portland has to offer.

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Well we just found out who doesn't pay attention to their security briefings

Or those are all things he wants to happen....
