Its so low that OSHA doesn't consider it to be a trip hazard.That type of ineptitude would be acceptable at this point. The GOP voters have set the bar and IDGAF level.

The reasons Trump and other Republicans want to uncover the identity of the whistleblower are pretty obvious.
1) to attack them as unreliable partisans (which is irrelevant as their complaint has already been proven true so their motivations don’t matter)
2) to intimidate other people who might come forward.
The easiest way to understand this administration is that it functions like an organized crime operation. Witness intimidation is part of that.
I would assume that the whistleblower would have to come forward at the senate trial. Eyewitness testimony is pretty much worthless if you can't produce the eyewitness.
Well, at a minimum intimidate them if they plan on testifying against them. He has done it repeatedly in public.

Why would you assume that? In mob cases witnesses identities are kept secret when their lives are in danger. Besides the WB isn't a first person witness to all the accusations.I would assume that the whistleblower would have to come forward at the senate trial.

Are you really equating soldiers with street thugs?
I'm not splitting hairs. There is no honor in what they do, they aren't fighting the good fight, they're trying to silence people they disagree with using methods that would have made Hitler proud.Look at your perspective, ignoring the racist ideology that still perseveres 80 years after our world narrowly missed a complete hostile takeover, and instead want to split hairs about people who would fight racism and facism
Are you going to start saying that all those men in that picture were volunteers? That there was never a draft?
Just go ahead and push that hero culture some more.

You find intimidation and violence acceptable political tactics, I don't. You accept escalating a war of words into combat, I don't. Antifa is no better than what they claim to stand against.Sure, that's why they're standing up against people who carry on Hitler's ideology who occupy space in a political party that's voted for propoganda over facts, smears over truth, coined the term alt-facts, echo white supremacists, the list goes on.
Maybe step back and think about what you're typing sometimes...it might sound as foolish and aloof to you as it does to others.
Btw, you confirm all those soldiers were proud volunteers?

You're missing the point of the thread entirely. Antifas haven't created the environment where people threaten the lives of whistleblowers the way organized crime thugs threaten snitches. Trump did. He practices stochastic terrorism. When anybody talks the kind of shit he does to millions of people it's perfectly obvious that some will go over the edge. It has already happened with mass shootings. And yet Trump persists. Maybe you can explain it differently.

I'm against violence in the streets, you find it acceptable. That's what this entire argument is about. You have now declared that position as idiocy. I don't see where we go from here. You continue to promote violent solutions, I'll pursue non violent ones.I'm providing reason to your idiocy guised as thoughtful posting. Keep ignoring the racists who found a home in the GOP, the propoganda that fuels what we see on the right today, and before you know it....you'll have what you want.
And btw, remember what thread you're in.

I see it as equating soldiers with street gangs. But I could be wrong.I'm equating anti-fascists with anti-fascists.
And those people are wrong. Their crimes don't justify antifias crimes. Why is that so hard to figure out?Sure you will. There's no argument here. You're willingly diverting or just willfully ignorant. No problem for me either way.
You prefer your violence nice and organized apparently.
You're still posting in a thread about violent right wingers making death threats, in case you forgot, lol....wowsers.
