A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Thanks. I'm with KG here and think JB is just overreacting and trying to prevent any damage to his name.
Calling for death, even as a joke, is deplorable. And in Trumps case, dangerous. It's one thing to make this joke with a couple of friends, it's entirely another when the entire country sees it - both the crazies that would do it, or the crazies that would shoot them for it.
what about putin? is that different bcus he is foreign? osama bin laden? sounds like you just dont understand the real world king.
Still deplorable. There are more humane ways than a death penalty (which btw most of the civilised world tries to abolish)
