Faermongering thugs. Can you imagine what they're doing to Vance's wife?
She embodies almost everything they hate, this was almost inevitable once she came to their attention.
Arrest and jail each one. Don't make death threats at people.
Law enforcement pretty much always sides with Trump supporters on this stuff so I wouldn't hold your breath. If this woman died, most cops would probably laugh.

Yeah, the justice department has been really lax with this stuff. AFAIK that's not protected speech, and if you start jailing the first ones it'll stop. Stirring up hate towards someone to the point they get death threats has become a normalised part of the discourse on the right now.
A.G. Garland is a conservative. Trusting a conservative to act in good faith as A.G. was a huge error in judgement by this administration. That error has come very close to costing us our democracy.
A conservative should absolutely never be granted any position of authority. A conservative does not have a moral compass and can only act to benefit themselves or their in-group.

Even a statement of "authorities are working on tracking these people down to charge them" would scare a lot of these people off.
- they said they are coming to get us, Ilya
- let's hope they do, Piotr... I'm so tired of this! What do we have today, by the way? Insults, death threats or stupid memes?
Next thing, you're gonna tell me that water is wet.
Water isn’t wet. Wetness is a property that occurs when a liquid adheres to a solid surface due to cohesive and adhesive forces. Water molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding, creating a network, but they themselves aren’t ‘wet’ until they interact with another material.
Rain is wet, it is not adhered to a solid surface. The middle of the ocean is wet even if there's no solid surface near by.
Isn't it only wet after it touches you? You can anticipate it's wet, but the state would exist after contact.
Aren't the molecules touching other molecules wet if it involves touch?
An individual h2o molecule can't be wet, but if two of them are touching, they are both wet.
Wet to the touch, not to each other. It changes the property of something else to make it wet.

Counterpoint: water is wet because it is the wet.
A powerful example of such a scenario is this quote from the philosopher, Batman:
"I am vengeance! I am the night! I.am.BATMAN!"
What this proves is shut up, water is wet. 😡
If there is water, and no one is around to be wet… is it still wet?
My bear just shit a brick!
The pope is jealous
So you’re saying wet is water.
Interesting, but pedantic.

What's that? No, it wasn't? Again? Huh
Sounds like terrorism. Maybe Muslim terrorists?
It's the transgender Muslim terrorists leftists.
