For context: Stickermule sure had a hissie fit when Trump got grazed. But they sure don’t seem to have any problems with it happens to anybody else.

    Seems like a credible threat that could be reported to certain 3 -letter agencies to me. But what do I know?It’s not like their license plate isn’t fully viewable in this picture or anything.

        If y’all liberals don’t pull your head out of your ass and fight back, be it on your head when the trains start.

        I can’t find it now, but there was a really good article posted recently about how violence and terror is the sucker’s game, and empowers the right. Calling them weirdos and making it clear just how dumb their views is the way to go.

          When one person is willing to use violence, and the other is not, when they are in conflict, who will win? At some point words will not be enough. The Nazis didn’t lose in WWII from people being nice

            When it’s only a few thousand people in a country with 300 million, the only way it can last very long is if the people running the country want it to.

              Will i got news for you it’s not a few thousand people in a country with 300 million people. Its millions of people. The US has a fascism problem. Empowered by an entrenched political party that only cares about itself, not about the people

      Especially combined with Trump saying “Off to the train station”. The “train station” is from the tv show Yellowstone. It’s code for where they take people to murder them.

      There was a version of this with Biden months ago. It probably counts as satire and is protected by the 1st amendment guarantee of freedom of speech.

        The first amendment isn’t really a guarantee of free speech so much as it’s used as a foundation of how far speech will be tolerated— there are limits to the 1st Amendment. Sedition/treason, incitements to violence, fraud, and many others.

        But, since our justice system is punitive rather than preventative (for the most part), it’s best to keep in mind that freedom of speech in America does not always translate to freedom of consequences for that speech. You can (and many do) say what you want - and “speech” has been interpreted to mean many forms of expression - but you may find yourself run afoul of either a few restrictive laws or, worse, massive societal consequences.

          Tho it’s worth pointing out that threatening to kill the president is one of the most illegal forms of speech in the US. To the point that it could be illegal to say it alone in a room to yourself out loud

        Doesn’t mean it can’t be reported as a credible threat. An investigation will determine if it’s protected or that it isn’t. But that doesn’t stop someone from being put on a list, nor does it protect them from being investigated. Which is my point at any rate.

        Ask yourself why that would matter to the Secret Service or the FBI who can just run that plate number for all states and territories along with the description of the truck (color, make/model).

        I’m also going to say this has probably been posted somewhere else on the internet at higher quality unless op took this photo themselves.

      It is utterly tasteless but might not be considered an active threat. They are an edgy clown but there’s no indication they will attempt to do anything from that image alone. I’m sure it would make fine evidence in a court case next to, say, guns and maps. But I don’t think it can be the basis for a case.

      This version also has some darker undertones compared to the Biden one. But they all worship and idolize a rapist so no surprise there.

    Thin blue line flag, and probably other “back the blue” and “law and order” shit in their lives, while supporting a serial criminal, rapist, fraudster, traitor, with 43 felonies, and dozens more on the way, and promoting kidnapping and treason. I’m thinking this guy probably lost his last three braincells to bleach injections.

      Harris has also been a prosecutor, District Attorney, and Attorney General. Mr. Blue Line Flag over there in the 2017 Chevrolet truck with Wisconsin license plate SE9838 is illustrating his desire to violently abduct not only the Vice President, but a lifelong law-enforcement official.

      Cops generally don’t like these decals. Not because they might disagree with the statement, but because they might not recognize that it’s a decal at first and wont want to risk being the one who let a kidnapper get away when they might want Hero Cop status. Bet this guy gets pulled over all the time.

        When I’m driving, I really don’t appreciate those hyper-realistic decals, stickers that depict the back door of the moving van being open. With shit and/or people inside. From a distance & at first glance, I look & see a security risk. I look closer & I’m like, what is this nonsense?? Oh. It’s just a sticker.

        And I can see pretty well; I am able to look closer & see it’s not real. But what about people that can’t see as well? Or aren’t very intelligent but are allowed to drive anyway? There are plenty of those.

        I just see a low-key shock/deception ad that could potentially induce panic. Not very smart. Shouldn’t be legal, honestly.

        You’d have to be incredibly stupid to not realize it’s a decal. I mean like unable to get a driver’s license, or hold a job levels of stupid. But there are other reasons to pull him over. It’s a vulgar display in public. I wouldn’t want my 5 year old kid seeing that on the way to school.

      they loudly advertise positions they know are controversial because it’s a win/win for them. someone confronts them? they have a claim of being victimized for their beliefs and quite possibly the chance to violently defend themselves and become famous conservative celebrities like Rittenhouse. if nobody confronts them? they feel like strong powerful men because “everyone is too scared to come face them”. this is probably the only time in their lives they can feel like strong successful males like this, so it becomes an addiction. it leads to more and more garish advertisement of controversy to get either one outcome or the other.

    I just switched the company I work for off of sticker mule due to the weirdo CEO. Trying out a place called JukeBox which did a good job on the first order. Had good packaging too. If anyone has alternatives we should track them somewhere. Jukebox just happened to be in the first few search results and I was in a hurry. Probably keep using them though unless their CEO turns into a creep as well.

            You’re thinking of Trump mixing up former S.F. mayor Willie Brown with former L.A. city councilman Nate Holden when claiming that he was in a crashing helicopter and Brown revealed horrible things about Kamala Harris as it went down. Why Nate Holden would have been talking about Kamala Harris has yet to be established.

            As Mr. Holden said: “Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco, I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles. I guess we all look alike.”
