Or do you need to adjust your meds too? The question is the hell are you saying? TrivialPursuit said all politicians needed to get guillotined. That means he wants them to have their heads cut off so they die. And you agreed with him. You want the President and all the other politicians executed in the bloodiest way possible. So Do you need to adjust your meds Or Do we need to call the secret Service?

I would hope it's just hyperbole. After all, we have these things called elections, and we do elect these people, so in reality whatever complaint we have, the fault is ours.

Some people, I won’t name any names (Mike) seem to be overreacting a touch. And perhaps another guy. I won’t name him personally because Marty is kinda cool.
Yeah, it's on me for interpreting the statement, "they should all be killed" as "they should all be killed." My bad.

I don’t agree with you politically. but all in all, you seem cool in your own right. But this is a bit of a JDub moment for you, if I’m being honest. I’m not sure how any normal person would take that as a legitimate threat. also, if we’re getting JDub-ish, you didn’t quote it right. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Hyperbole is what makes the world go round, bro. Get with it.
Now if I said I'll gather an army and storm the Capitol building with weapons - yep, that is a legit threat - and also not what happened on Jan 6th (just saying) Making a reference to a revolution that happened 200 years ago? Meh.. not very threatening.

I'm not saying it's a legitimate threat, though I don't know any of you well enough to be 100% sure. I'm saying it's totally inappropriate and distracting. You're changing an intellectual conversation into a conversation that's more about pugilism and machismo. We all agree that they suck. It's much more productive and interesting to follow that with "here's why they suck" and "how can we improve it." Trying to one up each other with "just vote em out" and "voting doesn't work let's kill them all" is neither productive nor interesting. The other thing that bothers me about some of you saying "Kill all politicians" is you don't include Trump in that group. Which makes you naive, not macho. Trump is a politician and it's infantile to say otherwise.

He can be on the docket as well.

Personally, I'd rather watch Biden talk about Covid with his dark sunglasses on, or even listen to Giuliani talking about election fraud in the parking lot of four seasons landscaping, than to listen to a conversation between Charlemagne and Buttigieg.
