A shit-show of a podcast called, "The Big Mig."
In response to Trump's indictment, far-right "broadcasters" and seditionists, Pete Santilli and Lance Migliaccio:
Santilli: If I were the Commandant of the Marine Corp, OK? What I would do is order every single Marine assigned to the Marine Corp Barracks, to go grab freakin' Biden, throw him in freakin' zip-ties into the back of a friggin' pick-up truck, OK, and get him out of the White House. I would order that right now. And if the the Marines don't do it...as a matter of fact, can I call the the frickin' Marine Corps right now...
Unknown voice: No!
Santilli: ...the Commandant of the Marine Corps?
Migliaccio: I have to tell you something. If I were in charge of a department there, let's say in the three or four-star level, I would probably walk in and shoot (Joint Chief's Chairman, General Mark) Milley in the head, and I would aggressively take over the entire group.
Santilli: If it were legal; yeah.
Migliaccio: If it were legal.
Santilli: Right.
Migliaccio: And I would take him out and I would order an absolute hit-list (Garbled). I'd have a hit-list ready, and I would make them go after everybody that was on the list. The "dirty fifty-one," Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer; literally nobody would be left when I got done. I would snatch'em all."
Mutiny, kidnapping, sedition, military Coup d'Etat, murder, and a hit-list. Like Stalin. And McCarthy. Today's "Freedumb!" loving conservative Republicans!!
There is NOTHING on the Left that is comparable to this shit, happening EVERY DAY!
You can watch the video yourself at "Right Wing Watch;" just scroll down to 09 June 2023.

(82,849 posts)That's their disclaimer that they're just kidding around, and can't you libs take a joke?
Of course, they're not kidding around, but they aren't stupid enough to do what they're talking about. They're hoping, though, that someone in their audience is stupid or crazy enough to do what they won't do themselves.

Here's a thread from three days ago about these comments.

(82,849 posts)As mentioned above, the "if it were legal" dodge is meant to cover the fact that the detailed plan spouted by these two cretins won't be carried out by them. But considering the audience for their yammerfest, it's entirely possible that it is likely to cause someone else to commit lawless actions. The only quibble is over the vague word "imminent." How soon after laying out their plan qualifies as "imminent"? A couple of days, a month, six months?
Anyway, while we shouldn't listen to these nincompoops, it's a sure bet that somebody is listening with a very sympathetic ear. Ignoring them is a signpost on the path to "Who would have believed such a thing could happen" in the aftermath of another mass killing.

(3,821 posts)questioning, they should also get a court order to search their houses for weapons and who knows what else they will find.
This is no joke, these are real threats, this is inciting violence, they know there are crazies out there listening to them, and they are hoping one of them will carry out their message. Enough with "free speech", that is not free speech, those are threats.

(9,691 posts)They say both sides do it. I say if you do it 99 times and we do it once, sure, technically, both sides do it, but their dosage is so much higher which negates their point.
