I commented on a Hopkin's Twitter Trump thread, "I hope he dies soon". I do hope Trump dies soon because that's the only way I can see to aid him relinquishing power that he abuses. Twitter judged this intimidation and harassment. But how can I intimidate the president of the USA by making those comments? He's got ****ing nukes, I'm just a twat on the internet!. Meanwhile Katie Hopkins spreads poison on Twitter with no rebuke.

Point I'm making is the UK needs to kill US media and its biases from our shores.
Don't think CNN are Trump fans. That's on our shores.
And wishing death on someone

Hell, the UK even needs to 'kill' some of it's own media, nevermind the US's!
Freedom of speech gives us the right to point out just how wrong some opinions are. Supressing it is a dangerous step.
Unless it's hate speech which wishing someone dead is.
Like anything that gives the masses autonomy, the internet is a dangerous thing

Yeah, but when it tells constant untruths and only sides one way....
It's supposed to report the news, not make it up

Sometimes you can't see an answer until the person dies. The person won't change, won't stop, they will carry on with their aim while they are alive they will advance their cause. All I'm saying is I hope Trump dies soon because I believe he is an evil man. I don't want to kill him nor to urge others to kill him, just that while he's alive, the world will take a turn for the worse.
Or the Dems get their act together and he's voted out. Don't think Biden'll do it though

Depends where you're coming from. Everyone wants it to suit their agenda. I read a few of them, the secret's reading between the lines. I've voted for them all. I know who I want out today. But I'm a floating voter.
The only difference between Trump and the politicians that criticise him is that he does his dirty deeds in public
The others have probably done and considered worse behind closed doors
No excuse Sainty.
I still think Johnson will turn out to be one of Trumps bastard offspring.
Hope the car's okay.
They're all as bad as each other - we kinda know that
Rather than wishing Trump dead people should try to work out what created the conditions that made him electable

Wait, are we talking politicians now or MSM?

Trump 
The rusty belt.
Work out the IQ.
Trumps second term. Easy.
America's deluded.

He's a racist who claims KKK people are honourable. He's class warrior and white supremacist. It would will be better for the world if dies soon. I think he's America's Hitler. I don't think anyone should murder him and if he were to leave office voluntarily that would be better but I can't see that happening.
As with George Bush, one time alcoholic, it would have been better for the world if he'd have drunk himself to death rather than sobered up, became a born again Christian and went on to become president.

That's a rather generalist and cynical point. I would bet a lot of money most of them haven't done worse than Trump behind closed doors. He's very sleazy to say the least. I don't know about you but I don't go around "grabbing women by the pussy" behind closed or open doors.
Our media doesn't serve us, it's an arm of its funders' interests wants to control us and enslave us for the interests of vested capitalist interests.
Trump's certainly got major skeletons in the closet.
He should have been up against Saunders. But the Clintons fiddled that.
Populism's scary.
We're beginning to lose the last of the WW11 generation. Sad times.
So does our media serve us? Our press is run by foreign based hard right media barons. The BBC is bullied by said press hard right media barons and our hard right government into compliance with Brexit for fear of governmental retribution.
Our social media is US based and therefore biased to US concerns.
It's self-service. Always has been - these days are nothing new. Down to the prawn cocktail between your ears.
Sometimes I wonder how clever you are. You fall footlong into traps.
You use Twitter. I don't. So a US hypocrite. Get out that.
You use the very same medium you proclaim to condemn.
Funny.

Fair point, but I have to get my wise words out into the world. There's too many people who are wrong on the internet that need to be told so!
You need to dally with Satan if it's in a just cause.
