Schumer Claims Conservative Supreme Court Justices Will ‘Pay the Price’
No word yet on what Schumer meant on the "Pay the price" quote.
Secret Service was notified and they are now paying attention to all the Supreme Court Justices.
And Trump threatens FBI, Intel community, witnesses, whistleblowers, NATO allies, media outlets, and entertainers.
"He who lives in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones"
Trump never threatened anyone.
shareExactly, JoWilli!
shareReally?
Trump threatens Comey with 'years in jail' over FBI Russia report.
Trump Threatens to Retaliate Against Reporters Who Don’t Show ‘Respect’
U.S President Donald Trump was caught on an audio recording making threatening remarks about the whistleblower who revealed allegations that he attempted to strong-arm Ukraine into giving him dirt on a political opponent. Trump also made similar remarks about the person who supplied information to the whistleblower.
Trump had responded angrily to SNL‘s latest skit on the President and other U.S. politicians by asking, “Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution?”
Trump Threatens Schiff Over Impeachment: 'He Has Not Paid the Price, Yet'
Comey was leaking classified info to the press.
Snopes
What's False
However, Trump's comment, did not directly and explicitly state that the whistleblower and the person who supplied them with information should be put to death.
Trumps real Tweet
Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!
“Shifty Adam Schiff is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man,” Trump tweeted Sunday morning. “He has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!”
Trumps a bully and says inane stupid things everyday and you know it!
Give it up
Snopes is exactly where I got most of that info from.
LOL! Snopes is a partisan joke that lost all credibility years ago when they agreed with Democrats that John McCain was ineligible to run for President because he was born in Panama. Those idiots didn't even know how US citizenship works, and couldn't be bothered to spend a few minutes googling it.
When even the hacks at Snopes are disagreeing with Democrats on something it's worth noting, for the novelty if nothing else. Often it's a sign that the Dem lie of the day is even more outrageous and easily debunked than usual. When Snopes is performing its usual function of smearing Republicans it's nothing new. Boring.
He threatens the whole country every day he wakes up and opens his mouth. You really think Schumer is a physical threat to the SC? In your over-bloated fantasy where you would like to take vengeance on HRC and every other good progressive politician but you don't have the guts to go forward with it. You trumpers make me sick standing behind this cretin and casting aspersions at everyone who is appalled at this jerk-off and the pub crammed courts. It's just a game for you, be more pathetically stupid than anyone else here, and be proud of it. What a freaking joke.
shareExactly!
shareWheres paper shredder Nancy? She should be impeaching Schumer for threatening the Supreme Court.
shareShe tore up his retarded State of the Union CAMPAIGN speech. He deserves it every time he opens his damn fool mouth. He's a ridiculous figure and invites scorn and ridicule whenever he rears his ugly head. I'm not used to such arrogance and incompetence in a potus. You may enjoy it but I sure don't.

“I am from Brooklyn.” That statement made by Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer were meant to excuse threats he has made against two conservative justices
He also added "You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!"
He also singled out Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
Schumers office said it was a reference to the political price Republicans will pay for putting them on the court.
He sounded like a lunatic. It sounded threatening to me. I'm glad the Secret Service was notified. I don't trust these Democrats!

The threats did not go unnoticed by the Supreme Court, prompting a rare rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts Wednesday evening, calling Schumer's threats "irresponsible" and "dangerous."
Here is Chief Justice Roberts' statement:
> This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that "You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions." Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter.
Rather than admit his rhetoric was inappropriate, Schumer's spokesman Justin Goodman accused Roberts of bias in a statement made to Fox News.
We all know that republicans are so civil. Like when Sarah Palin talked about "locked & loaded" and Donald Trump insinuated violence referrening the the "2nd amendment crowd would respond to Hillary". You are such a hypocrite and you don't ever see it. More manufactured outrage because your president is a pathetic, pathological liar who has been impeached, has 12 (i think) of his former associates in prison. He will probably go to prison himself, if doesn't rig the election or declare himself de facto permant leader, for statutory crimes in which he cannot be pardoned.
shareEven uber liberal legal observer Lawrence Tribe has denounced Chuck Schumer.
Tribe: "These remarks by @SenSchumer were inexcusable. Chief Justice Roberts was right to call him on his comments. I hope the Senator, whom I’ve long admired and consider a friend, apologizes and takes back his implicit threat. It’s beneath him and his office."
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mcconnell-to-call-out-schumer-for-controversial-remarks-directed-towards-supreme-court-justices
The liberal American Bar Association released a statement denouncing Schumer:
"Whatever one thinks about the merits of an issue before a court, there is no place for threats -- whether real or allegorical...Such comments challenge the reputation of the third, co-equal branch of our government; the independence of the judiciary; and the personal safety of judicial officers. They are never acceptable."
Schumer tried to backpedal and lie about what he said like a weasel but McConnell and others easily debunked his spin....because the video itself does.
The resident T-rump haters are quiet today. Seems like all they care about is the stock market going down.
shareInciting violence against political opponents and sitting Supreme Court justices should result in his immediate removal from congress.
Of course nothing will happen. The media will remain silent and Mitt Romney will have no issue with it.
Fortunately the adults are in charge and are now about to get a lot more powerful. Stand up for Joetard!
Like nothing happened to Trump when he stonewalled White House witnesses during his obvious guilt in the Ukraine fiasco
Apples and oranges. Schumer threatening a Supreme Court Justice should be arrested and charged. If a Rep. did this the media would be in full meltdown mode.
shareI read the quote and honestly don't think that can be proven as a physical threat of violence. "Pay the price" could mean that there are repercussions (in the judical sense of setting precident). I have no problem with the secret service being notified being that is their responsiblity, but if we go down the partisan slippery slope of parsing words and spinning them to mean what we want them to mean politically, then that could be the beginning of free speech infringement. Republicans, democrats and independents have all said things that could be interpreted as threats of violence, but until you actually say the words to incite violence, I don't think there is plausibility to do more than just be on alert. Chuck Schumer is not going to be removed and shouldn't be.
shareThese Dems have been emboldened by lack of prosecution, reprimand, or even a rebuke. The strong words from Justice Roberts are a rebuke, but I think Chuckie respects Roberts about as much as he respects Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. His peers in the Senate need to mount a strong response.
"pay the price" and "won't know what hit them" ?? You mean like Judge Scalia?? Sounds like a death threat to me. Chuckie should be kicked out of the Senate.
In business, I have seen situations where an apology could not fix the damage. This is one of those cases. No apology can fix this. Chuckie has to go.
He didn't even give an apology. He gave excuses and denied he said anything wrong. Just that his choice of words weren't the best.
Some action needs to be taken. This is why they keep doing what they do. There's no consequences. Ever since Trump was sworn in, people were getting away with threats such as "blowing up the White House" with no repercussions. Madonna's threat should have been taken seriously. Johnny Depp, Snoop Dog, Kathy Griffin, etc. They just get away with everything.
As the dems like to preach how uncivilized Trump is, and he can be at times, they sanctimoniously claim how "civil" and "classy" and conduct themselves in manner of high decorum.
Schumer: A SCOTUS is going to "pay the price"
Tlaib: Impeach the MFer.
Pelosi: Riiiiiiiiiiippp.
Eric Holder: When they go low, you kick them.
Waters: Inciting mob mentality.
Don't worry about Hollywood. Ricky Gervais already put them in their place. "Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg."
Yeah Gervais gave it to them. They deserved it. But Hollywood (and the Democrats) gets away with threats that no one else could. Not only that but diehard unhinged fans could try to follow through for their "heroes."
Madonna-blow up the White House
Depp- when was the last time a president was assassinated?
Snoop-making videos of Trump getting shot
Griffin- holding Trump's severed bloody head
And more.
The ones mentioned above crossed lines. It's not like when De Niro says "F Trump."
Could you imagine if anyone threatened Obama or Clinton?! Which would have been wrong too.
Threats to the president are a felony! (See below) Why aren't these people held accountable?
"Threatening the president of the United States is a federal felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making "any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the president of the United States.""
Schumer definitely crossed lines. They got so used to talking like this, it's become the norm. How bad will they be after Trump is in office for 4 years, then 5 years, then 6 years, then 7 years, then 8 years? They're such an unhinged angry bunch, someone is going to do something horrible.
Unprecedented calls for violence by Schumer. He needs to be disbarred and hung.
shareWhy do you Trump supporters have such a difficult time with the English language? The proper term is hanged.
shareOh, cut it out! It’s not only people who voted for Trump who errs in speaking and writing! For me a rule of thumb is: An object is hung; a sentient being is hanged, meaning put to death. But, you can hang a picture or hang a man.
shareWhy don’t you go give a grammar lesson to dogdump? He didn’t know the difference between “our” and “are”. Hypocrite much?🤪🤪🤪🤪
shareI swear I have never seen such vile hatred toward people who voted differently from the hater’s vote. Haters gotta hate. They hate Trump so they hate us who voted for him. They are like a pack of dogs scratching over fleas. On and on! They aren’t logical. They pick at the least little thing. If we make a typo it’s because we are Trump voters therefore in their warped minds...we are ignorant.
Hypocrisy run amuck!
You have to understand that a lot of these people are completely indoctrinated. They lack the ability to to think for themselves so all they get is MSNBC, and CNN. They accept it without a shred of independent thought and simply do as their told.
Don't worry. When they become grammar nazis, it only proves that's the only thing they got in an attempt to discount you. Of course it doesn't and it only proves they're idiotic petulant children.
