Former vice president and current presidential candidate Joe Biden has bragged on two occasions that he would like to beat up President Donald Trump.
In March 2018, Biden huffed, “They asked me would I like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said, ‘If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.’”
Biden’s tough-guy braggadocio was apparently no slip. A year later, he doubled down on his physical threats.
“The idea that I’d be intimidated by Donald Trump? . . . He’s the bully that I’ve always stood up to. He’s the bully

VDH is my favorite. Ge gets to the point and speaks in common language. He is also very pro Trump.
To the point of the article, isn't threatening the President a crime? I have not seen a single person prosecuted yet and there should be a bunch load sitting behind bars. I am not just talking celebrities. There ares some real lefty whacks out there that have made very serious threats. Have not hear a peep about any prosecutions.

Trump is a scratch golfer and as big as a brown bear.
In a caged match my money is on Trump regardless of which liberal softig steps up.
Although I hear Kamala-Toe has a wicked jab and is 'light when on her feet'.

Excellent article, as usual. I am disturbed by the vicious and violent language used to assault this President. I can imagine that it won’t be long before some kook who listens to these reckless violent invectives and acts upon them. The media would immediately blame the President for any assault against him by declaring, he had it coming. It is clear that democrats don’t care if they are stoking the fires of assassination. In fact, I believe they would welcome it. Not one democrat has called for moderation of the violent hate speech directed at President Trump which tells me they want it to continue. The depths of the violent depravity of the left is not comprehensible to reasonable people. The atmosphere created by the left in this country is dangerous and irresponsible. The violent political discourse by the left in this country is terrifying because it has become commonplace. They justify their verbal violence because they loathe this President and want him eliminated by any means possible and do not care that they may encourage someone to act out on their evil braggadocio.
President Trump is standing in the breach between freedom and tyranny. He has exposed the gross corruption that permeates our government and those perpetrators are determined to destroy him. They know that if they can get rid of him, no one will ever take them on again. The message will have been sent and received. Thank God that there are millions of people praying for his health and safety. He needs and deserves our prayers as do anyone else who stands with him in this fight.

"No insult seems too petty for Trump to ignore."
Nor should it be ignored. This is how the Left operates, a steady drop of corrosive acid eating away at the foundations of our Country and society. Politely ignoring it leads to eventual collapse due to the slow damage.
It must be confronted.

Hmmmm, they let the bloody beheading pass but now the excitement is over a few punches? I guess it causes a couple of democrats to get a few unearned points for courage, like whistling past the graveyard? None of it is acceptable except in the case of Obama who actually earned a size 12 up the backside.

If you browse Twitter, there are nearly 200 death threats posted in reference to the President. The Hollywood crowd has certainly contributed. After the President is re-elected, he must be protected at all times.
Given the mental health crisis in America, there are many many crazies who could be recruited by the left to carry out a hit. Simply for the glory of getting themselves in the history books. As VDH points out, the msm's narrative would be, "he had it coming" and would claim successful Russian meddling. How sad is this for what was supposed to be the most civilized nation on earth.
May the Almighty God continue to protect the President of the United States from America's evil from within.

The left sees it as perfectly acceptable to make threatening comments about any conservatives without fear of reprisal....until President Trump came along.
When the shoe is on the other foot and they're attacked they run for the nearest "Safe Space" where, conveniently, there are permanently stationed MSNBC and CNN personnel available to spread the word about the latest peccadillo from the right.

Hahaha. In my life I have found the toughest, 'most likely to kick you butt" guys never bragged about their manly fighting prowess. The quiet ones, the average ones, the most self confident ones were the ones you really had to watch out for. They never looked for trouble or bragged. But, if you did a dirty deed to them, they met you at just the least expected places and and dealt with you. I was always in awe of them and did my best to emulate them. This Biden creep shows how mealy-mouthed he is when he is on the View and is faced down by others constantly. Trump would make mince-meat out of him in any debate.

Biden is a constant joke. Corey Booker is a bug eyed hipster with the manliness of a paper cup so who's afraid of two bozo losers? I sat for eight long years of the reign of terror from Obama ignoring him and turning off my television when he was on. I never wished harm to him because he would become a saint to the left and streets, parks, mountains and cities would be named after him. I wanted Obama safe and out of the way like he is now. I am appalled at the viciousness from the left and know they would act out on me the same way these idiots should be taken seriously.

The Progressives/Democrats have tried every thing to "assassinate" President Trump politically, I am afraid one of these crazies or their sycophants will literally try to assassinate him. President Trump needs our prayers.

Spartacus is a burnt-marshmallow sissy and sloe-joe is a doddering old leering freak.
They are obviously not a physical threat but both are evidently stirring up some of their dangerous crazies. How is this not a crime?

FTA: No insult seems too petty for Trump to ignore.
President Donald J. Trump does not start anything. He is a counter-puncher, he has not said a single thing about anyone who leaves him alone. He is no "Jack Reacher" who, according to the novels, likes to get his punch "back" in first.
The New York Times has a list of about 600 people Trump has insulted, all of whom had insulted Trump first, I would give odds that it has fewer minorities than the general population.

Every day I join tens of millions of fellow Americans in prayer for the safety and well being of our dear President, his family and all who work with him to defend our country against her seditious children. The only Dim candidate who's truthfully expressed the existential threat is New Age Marianne; she at least recognizes the dark forces of evil working against our nation, although still clueless she is a handmaiden of those forces. Evil never rests, but neither does God. I firmly believe Donald J. Trump was created to lead the defense and restoration of America's founding under the protection of our Almighty Father. By their fruits you shall know who has life with Christ.
President Trump is not the only one fighting. Following his example, the Army of the Deplorables are initiating skirmishes on the front lines; the town that fought back against their city council dropping the Pledge before meetings and many more instances of public pushback. With prayer and the grace of God, we will prevail over the darkness. I trust Trump. I trust God.
MAGA - St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle...

I challenge anyone on this site to produce a video of Donald J. Trump ever, as President or before, threatening anyone with a punch or violence of any kind. Never happened as that's not his style. Period.
The Left thinks it's "funny" to not only threaten our POTUS but us, his supporters, as well. Proving their stupidity as we are the ones with the weapons. You just know that soon the wrong person wearing a MAGA hat is going to be attacked while packing heat. It won't end pretty.
If anyone dared to treat Obummer like they treat Trump, the FBI would be at their house in a New York minute.

Rather than addressing the actual threats or the violence, maybe we should examine the reason for it. What is the purpose of the threats of physical violence and in some cases the actual violence against conservatives?? This movement generating this violence was spawned by the "peaceful socialistic anti-war protesters" on the left from my college years (48 years ago). Have they become so desperate in their cause that their frustration is leading to striking out violently??(tsk, tsk) Are they so afraid the conservative right is winning with their common sense and reason?? Do they honestly think that violence will force conservatives to agree with them?? Are they becoming violent because they have no reasonable arguments against Conservatism??? I think that may be the answer.

2 thoughts on Corey Booker in particular: Hey, Corey, great way to dispel the myth of the violence-prone Black man. Also, you seem fixated on a guy's physical appearance. Now, why would that be, I wonder.

Thank you #16; I pray for the President every morning and I also believe that God's hand was involved in the 2016 election. How else can we explain how he left 16 other Republicans in the dust? I consider that a miracle. Donald Trump was specifically chosen for "such a time as this". I don't think I could ever thank the Lord enough for thwarting HRC in 2016.
Since I know that the Lord was in the middle of choosing our President I know that he will also keep him safe.
OT - has anyone reported katina denniston @ #20?
