In an interview on “60 Minutes” on Wednesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley said he will take “appropriate measures” to make sure he and his family are safe in the wake of recent comments made by former President Trump.
Milley’s words come after a Truth Social post by Trump last week calling the chairman a “Woke train wreck” and accusing him of treason, seeming to reference calls made by Milley to China for reassurance at the end of Trump’s term.
“This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!” Trump’s post read. “A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act. To be continued!!!”
“I’ve got adequate safety precautions,” the military leader said in response to a question about his concern about his safety from CBS’s Norah O’Donnell.

How are death threats legal in the USA?
They're only legal if you're Republican.
Kathy Griffin got blacklisted+investigated for holding up a fake severed Trump head.

But be a Republican politician making death threats and the DOJ will wrist slap you. It's quite clear the bias our DOJ has always had. Other countries like Canada consider some of our extremists terrorists, and we're still handing them baby sentences for an insurrection.
Didn't Republicans burn Obama effigies?
They laterally erected a gallows outside the capitol on Jan 6th and chanted "hang Mike Pence" while they tried to go inside and get him.
They were openly hoping someone would get ahold of Pelosi or AOC and kill them, too.
Lynch mobs love a lil rape and murder, but yet they cry those crocodile tears over Ashli Babbit,
And hung them, iirc.
Yep

Almost sounds like the federal security agencies aren't actually too pressed about defeating domestic terrorism.
well that's because our government's full of people from both parties frankly it's hard to convince people on the same team to go after their own
Not really. Democrats are willing to censure and investigate their own party members—maybe even too willing. Ask Al Franken.
I don't often have opportunity to agree with lemmygrad users. But your observation is spot on here.
Those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.
When "law enforcement" agrees with the terrorists, they aren't going to really do much to stop them.
I'm pretty sure the founders of the proud boys and some of our magat groups are Canadian morons. So I'm not so sure.
It is stochastic terrorism.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent
priest4-star general?Thank you. Your reference to Henry II (via Shakespeare) reminds us that people who hold great sway over violent individuals, like a medieval king, a mob boss or Trump, are still responsible for the actions of their followers, even if they express their wishes in slightly oblique terms. Trump's attempts to thinly cloak his wishes are not new or particularly clever. This is how Henry II had Thomas Beckett killed way back in 1170, and I'm sure it was also very common in the ancient world. The law needs to crack down on this mob-boss mentality.
It has a name, too: stochastic terrorism.
