"... most often in reference to Trump and Elon Musk, according to a
new report from Know Your Meme, which tracks the rise of viral posts. 'Somebody should do it' and its online variants, the authors wrote, is wink-nudge shorthand for suggesting that somebody kill a powerful person. One of the earliest cases to
go viral was a TikTok video from a Brooklyn comedian nebulously talking about 'all the Elon, Trump stuff.' Someone should 'throw their life away,' he said in the February 2025 post, and 'take one for the team.' The conservative Libs of TikTok reposted the clip. So did Musk, helping it rack up 48 million views.... Know Your Meme found that interest in the 'Somebody should do it' trend spiked after an armed man’s thwarted attack last month at the White House correspondents’ dinner in Washington, where Trump was scheduled to speak...."

The top-rated comment over there: "Trump has condoned threats, attempts, and actual murders of people he doesn't like, and his sycophants condemn any comment they say is aimed at him as TDS. No one should be calling for assassination of anyone; I prefer impeachment or the 25th amendment to get him out of office. Trump's own rhetoric has fueled the fire and perhaps he should stop calling for senators and others to be killed."

Accuse your opponents of what you're already doing. Where have I heard that?
Entertaining abortive ideation at the twilight fringe is not a novel progression exercised with liberal license to carry out democidal choices and other wicked solutions. #HateLovesAbortion
Yes, they are saying that someone should do it, and this is self-evident from all of the online comments that follow, when such attempts have failed.
Pretending that it's a case of 'almost' is self-servingly convenient - but it is not the same as denial. If it was a case of denying it, they would do so. They're not doing so.
By accusing Trump of engaging in this behavior, they're projecting what they are actually doing onto the person they are targeting, a favorite Progressive tactic of trying to confuse the field so they don't recognize the play.
As our President has said..."These people are crazy"!!!!
"Trump has condoned threats, attempts, and actual murders of people he doesn't like, and his sycophants condemn any comment they say is aimed at him as TDS.

Quotes please.
Democrats are just vile lying pieces of shit.
All of my life it has been the case that people on the left seem clueless to the fact that the things they start are going to come back and bite them in the ass. If you make it socially acceptable to kill people you don't like, what do they think is going to happen?
The top comment explicitly denounces TDS and explicitly exemplifies it. Sadly, I’m not shocked by blindness to irony of the Washington Post and its benighted readers; madmen are always thusly sightless.
The same people who express these murderous thoughts on line also say that when someone tries it, that it's faked. These are not honest people and they can't reason at all. Their friends are also so broken that nobody tells them how bad it looks and is.
How captured by your hatred do you need to be to think Trump and three others being shot in Butler with one killed was all faked. It's just insane, and it's probably millions who believe it.
No one should be calling for assassination of anyone; I prefer impeachment or the 25th amendment to get him out of office.
How about just taking the L on the last election? You know, accepting the results of a democratic election. Too much to ask?
Will no one abort this "burden".
No they are evil, theres no way around it, its isnt a political problem as it is a spiritual one 'against principalities and power of the air'
"Trump's own rhetoric has fueled the fire and perhaps he should stop calling for senators and others to be killed."
Are we posting receipts for inspection? Or are we going with the "everybody knows" standard?
The best I can come up with is Trump's statements that some Dems displayed SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, which, if found guilty in a court of law, could earn them the death penalty.
That's a far cry from "somebody should do it".
The ass brays and some jackass will surely follow.
You tell yourself an obvious lie, you may or may not really believe it, but you pretend you do, which makes you look really stupid. You tell the world, which makes others feel more comfortable making fools of themselves too. I'm profoundly grateful that's not my circle.
Does the time that Netanyahu presented him with a "golden pager" count? Because that was pretty plainly a way to say, "we did it before, we can do it again."
Calling for investigation and prosecution of a death penalty crime is arguably the opposite of calling for someone to be murdered by an assassin.
Trump's own rhetoric has fueled the fire
Does Trump control what these people say in general or is it just this one topic?
That’s all I could find to Kevin. And that is about Mark Kelly, who was openly suggesting Trump was giving criminal orders and the military should ignore them. Same guy whose wife was shot by assassin that killed a Republican judge and then accused Sarah Palin of calling for the assassination because of a mark on a map, while the actual assassin claimed no knowledge of Sarah’s “call for violence”. In short, once you do the work to unpack progressive claims, you find it began with them accusing others of what they do.
Democrats have openly called for Trumps death-celebrated attempts on his life, and routinely call for us to be put in camps for being on the right side of the aisle.
There is no talking to people like that. 10 years of Orwells 2 minutes of hate, 24/7, have made those fools into willing slaves for communists and Islam.
They have no policies that have worked, ever . Just hate. pure irrational hate. Reading any of the leftist trolls on this blog confirms this fact.
There was much talk over the last few years about how the right had descended into "pwn the libs nihilism." Buddy, this stuff is real nihilism.
The left demand violence, and celebrate it when it happens - then thye deny they are behind it. Pathetic.
now the vile left blame Trump and lie about Trump in any way possible see
Kinda like Tuq'r denying he called Trump an anti-christ.
We have the receipts and stacks of recordings - oh cultist lying leftist blood soaked neo-nazis.
Blowing up Hamas terrorists in the balls with pagers is a good thing. the Israel haters cry.
Is today's blog theme "overreaction"? I'm trying to figure out how to shoehorn the AI note-taker post into it and so far not seeing a way, but if I keep on waving my hands maybe...
The Groomed-to-hate left killed Charlie Kirk.
Then they all lied and scapegoated in unison.
I don't hate all Muslims - I hate Theocratic male Islamic assholes who burn people alive in cages.
8647 - Didn't a leftist poster post that the other day?
Please - most every random democrat would be delighted if someone blew Trump's head off.
Comey wants Trump dead - and said so.
Serious people do not threaten.
"Trump has condoned threats"
Got an example?
How big of an asshole do you have to be - an insecure asshole - to act as cruel as Islamic theocratic males do in many places in the ME and elsewhere, who are supported financially by the globalists.
There was a faction of nihilists in Russia that called the system irredeemable. They tried to kill every member of the establishment they could. They took particular interest in murdering the reformers. They felt that such measures were palliative and just prolonged the disease. Well, their plan worked. The Czar was eventually overthrown and, as everyone knows, the Russians went on to lead useful, fulfilling lives after his execution.
The narodniki but we dont really see any denunciation just blame shifting
It's like Saying .. The Jews walked into the ovens on their own.
The collective universal hive-mind left: + Tuq'r.
"Trump enrages us - so it's his fault we want him dead."
What does maxim war mean hakeem
This dates back to Trump's "Lock her up" chants about Hillary in 2016. And then he won. He also mocked lefty icon Elizabeth Warren's "Pocahantas" DEI hypocrisy early on.
The left collectively short-circuited and shifted to widespread death threats by early 2017. Standard examples: Madonna's threat to blow up the White House, the fake bloody severed head, and the NYC play with a mock assassination of Trump.
In that period Trump actually softened toward Hillary. The assassination talk about him never stopped.
Many lefty brains short-circuited, or they were never fully functional. They now continue with selective memories and projection. Textbook cognitive dissonance.
Alexandria in 2017, thanks to a maddow minion who communicared with two us senators
Mocking someone is not the same as a death threat.
as if the left don't mock people non stop?
""Trump has condoned threats, attempts, and actual murders of people he doesn't like,"
Examples, please.
This is the bezos post is ultimately unsalvageable as are most of the papers, they cannot grapple with the words of the gunmen recited back to them
Democrats are upset that the redistricting wars are not going their way. They had expected a Democrat Speaker, third in line for POTUS, to be elevated as their assassin-promoting rhetoric paid off. Regardless of the midterms, expect an uptick in Democrat provocation.
"They’re not saying someone should kill Trump."
"'Somebody should do it' and its variants have become increasingly popular online memes."
But they’re coming close? What????
The stupid sh*ts think they’ll like it better if Vance is elevated to the Presidency with millions of angry MAGA base behind him demanding retribution against Democrats? Delusional!
One feature of the trend shows people getting assaulted for singing Vanilla Ice 90’s rap song “Ice Ice Baby”. I don’t blame you, if you think maybe somebody deserves what’s coming to them for attempting to foist that on today’s delicate ears. But I digress. The same people who hoot and holler about Jan6, are now practically silent about the rampant political violent talk on the social networks.
Well that is a geneva convention violation
“I don’t fucking care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me.”
“This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH.”
“If I don’t get elected … it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”
There is a trial coming up, the Mangione case, where I think we will learn a lot about how widespread this desire for violent homicide really is.

jim wants Trump dead. This is his justification.
Whatever happened to the idea of changing the ICE call letters to NICE, as in National Institute of Cloud Eccentrics.
WaPo comment, “The [GOP] opposition is so loud and shocking,” he said, “that you almost have to match it to be heard.” That’s not accurate. And remind me how many assassination attempts on Obama and Biden.
These Dems are insane in the brain. Trump has been a great second term President. He won the election. Threatening to kill the President is a federal crime. I certainly hope the FBI and DOJ has good evidence on James Comey and not just some sea shells.
Wake me when Hasan Piker gets treated like Charlie Kirk.
Note to AI: Abort the "burden", and we'll have a gay old time.
Did that "top-rated commenter" identify specifically what Trump-inspired "threats, attempts and actual murders" he/she is talking about?
"If I don’t get elected … it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”
The "bloodbath" was the economic fortunes of car companies.
Everybody here knows you're a god damn liar. Why do you do this?
“If I don’t get elected … it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”
Yo jim--if you are attempting to persuade people who already don't trust you, don't quote your own BS.
https://www.factcheck.org/2024/03/trumps-bloodbath-comment/
Hey jim, explain to me how any of the quotes you listed is a call for violence. You can't, because they aren't. The first one is an extremely odd choice for you to include, since he seems to be implying that people aren't a threat.
But you're ignoring context. there is a lot of LW political violence going on. Including multiple attempts on Trump's life. There is almost no RW political violence going on. Meaning the left should be much more circumspect in its language than the right needs to be.
The top-rated comment over there: He was asking for it. Just look at the way he was dressed.
Anthropocidal Insinuation
Careful what you wish for, leftists.
You just might get it.
“If I don’t get elected … it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”
If the best you can do is deliberately take something out of context, you're making our point.
He was talking about the auto industry, you dishonest piece of shit.
Most of this ranting is bored drama queens trying to create some excitement.
its always the guy getting shot at. Libs love their guns.
Trump is a hard man to kill. Like John McClane in Die Hard.
PP has long been entertained as a wicked solution in the virtual and real worlds by denizens of the twilight fringe (e.g. WaPo et al).
Or john wick
I bet the first briefing from the CIA that a new President gets is what really happened to JFK.
Most of this ranting is bored drama queens trying to create some excitement.
That's not a very nice thing to say about Achilles.
Two countries come to mind that constantly use assassination, Israel and Ukraine, the US is a distant third to these two. Remember those 12 CIA bases in Ukraine that we had along Russia's border that the New York Times wrote about, one of the things that they taught the Ukrainians was infiltration and assassination. The Bourne Identity is kind of far fetched in some ways, but not in the idea that we would send somebody to assassinate an African leader if he were trying to get too high a price for his country's platinum, or lithium, or whatever. None of this started with Trump, he's just more open about it.
Quotes please.
We can start with "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again". Okay, so maybe directly threatening genocide of over 90 million people is not "deliberately ambiguous", but really?! Of course, that is the same number, or maybe slightly less, than you would like to see eliminated from this country, so your response will be "nothing wrong with that".

Yet, you conveniently ignore the U.S. (where Trump has boasted about assassinating much of the leadership of Iran) and Russia (where if you speak out against Putin, make sure you stay away from windows)/
‘rats are a death cult, the Party of Death. They will disappear… the only question is how messy they’ll make it for normal folks on their way out of existence.
The headline doesn’t match the content…
These death threat ones seem to be burning any opportunity for what’s left of the rest of them. I like that…
My wife and I were walking in our neighborhood the other day and ran into a not so little old lady we have known for years. As we talked she mentioned that she spent a lot of time watching the news, and then openly wished for someone to kill Trump because he was "ruining our country."
Other liberal friends seem to believe if it wasn't for Rush Limbaugh and the FNC the US would have achieved a secular utopia by now, even the religious ones.
And the PTB in the Democrat party seem to believe that too. That if they could only shut up the naysayers, the wreckers and saboteurs, then everything would be great.
Reading any of the leftist trolls on this blog confirms this fact.
Find one post on this blog, or any other, where I have advocated violence against anyone or any group.
You can't.
I can dig up a bunch where I have been directly threatened and others where the rightist jerks have advocated mass murder, genocide and spent paragraphs pondering the best ammunition and loads to kill people they disagree with.
You are a fucking liar.
They certainly nearly succeeded after the delta house show
So I think we can take it as conceded that Trump has never called for the assassination of a political opponent, yes?
‘rats are a death cult, the Party of Death. They will disappear… the only question is how messy they’ll make it for normal folks on their way out of existence.
Have to hand it to Iman. In a post about how leftists ambiguously threaten political violence he/she directly looks forward to the day when "normal folks" eliminate leftists.
So I think we can take it as conceded that Trump has never called for the assassination of a political opponent, yes?
Umm no. Trump has actually boasted about having political opponents assassinated.
Boy, your schtick is so tired.
You constantly make excuses for those committing violence on your side. You defend their actions. And then you deflect their violence onto us simply so you can wash your hands and claim bullshit like this:
Find one post on this blog, or any other, where I have advocated violence against anyone or any group.
For fuck's sake, you compared a stupid AI video depicting tomatoes being thrown at a politician to assassination attempts on the president.
So just fuck right off, Freder. You're not fooling anybody.
Our future looks like an exercise in distinguishing between intended consequences and unintended consequences.
None of it will get settled here, that's for sure.
Me? I'm ready for some boring and uneventful. Silly me.
For fuck's sake, you compared a stupid AI video depicting tomatoes being thrown at a politician to assassination attempts on the president.
No I didn't. You always attribute things to me that I have never posted. So you can just fuck off.
They really ought to get better material but they dont have ant
I see but one mention of Jan 6 above. Which is surprising since that's teh one incident that demoncRATs and liberals use to portray the violent right. All those people parading through the halls of congress staying within the velvet ropes.
You know who wasn't there? Me, any of my family or friends, or any of the readers of the blogs I read who pointed out rather specifically that conservatives should stay away- that it was a setup for Reichstag Fire event
It was. Don't know it that point was made in the comment section here before it happened. Still don't know who Ray Epps is or why he isn't in jail since he was filmed- repeatedly- urging violence. All those people near the Capitol building rounded up with cell phone data- but no one arrested for setting up a hangman's noose. They can't be found...
@Fredo, Jim at is making a perfectly reasonable interpretation of the comment you posted at 7:15 am on the
… on the Batman parody thread.
I don't have the stomach to read the comments there.
Imtay: “ I bet the first briefing from the CIA that a new President gets is what really happened to JFK.”
I kinda doubt that. At least one POTUS would have asked a USSS agent for his gun and shot the briefer, then called the SECDEF and ordered an all out assault on Langley. And I don’t necessarily mean Trump. W would have; maybe even Clinton and Algore - would have sealed up the hippie boomer conspiracy theorist vote for a hundred years. Heck, even/especially sub commander Carter would have had those guys swinging from the yardarm pour encourager les autres.
Now Nixon and Agnew: tossup between also liquidating the CIA or just sitting back and saying “holy shit - that’s fucking great!” Or maybe both. CC, JSM

Oh fuck you too. Explain how Jim at's comment is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of this: "Weren't you all lamenting, just the other day, how it is the left that is fomenting violence and encouraging assassination attempts. And then Althouse spreads this garbage (as an academic exercise of course, she even set up a silly poll).
Of course, you love it."
Just because I called the video garbage does not mean I was comparing it to assassination attempts or justifying the latter. I was merely pointing out your fucking hypocrisy when you excuse calls for mass murder and genocide.
Stop embarassing yourself thats unpossible
I frequently RATWD. I remember a bunch where you objectively get stuff wrong, and never cop to it when called out.
And claiming I was wrong about something has fuck all to do with this conversation how?
What you have to find is me advocating violence. You won't.
Freder, you are right. Your being wrong is completely irrelevant. But don't use my mistake to dodge the direct charge you made:
I can dig up a bunch where I have been directly threatened and others where the rightist jerks have advocated mass murder, genocide and spent paragraphs pondering the best ammunition and loads to kill people they disagree with.
I gave you a way to make that super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Start digging.
As for direct threats, et al, well, use my pro-tip and give us some examples.
So, the only part of the post that you disagree with is that there have been threats made against me on this site? Okay, maybe no one has said that they were going to kill me, but they have certainly wished me dead.
And you can't contradict the rest of the statement?
Just because I called the video garbage does not mean I was comparing it to assassination attempts or justifying the latter.
You don’t know how to parse the English language? And you wonder why I laugh at you!
Anyway don’t piss your panties over things written on Althouse comment threads that you choose to interpret as threats. Good predators never warn their prey.
This makes sense on blue scream or depleted uranium
If they showed one ounce of honest disgust for what they wreak but thats impossibpe
I was merely pointing out your fucking hypocrisy when you excuse calls for mass murder and genocide.
Oh, good gawd.
We like a stupid video of violent tomato throwing!!!!!! and you use it as a crutch to explain away the very real violence on your side.
We're the hypocrites? Here's a big, fucking mirror, jackass. Take a good, long look into it.
Trust me, if we ever want to get violent on your sorry asses, you won't be reading about it on a comment board.
Good predators never warn their prey.
Sounds like a threat to me.
Notice how it never occurs to Freder if we were half as violent as he accuses us of being, the Washington Post would be doing front page stories about us every day.
Yet, who are they focusing on here? Who are the subjects of this piece?
But, yeah. Both sides. /rolls eyes
"Trump's own rhetoric has fueled the fire and perhaps he should stop calling for senators and others to be killed."
Example not cited. Of course.
I can dig up a bunch where I have been directly threatened and others where the rightist jerks have advocated mass murder, genocide and spent paragraphs pondering the best ammunition and loads to kill people they disagree with.
Well let's start with the quote from Trump above. Did any one of you (Althouse included) object to his call for genocide?
The same leftists who say "Well, y'know its understandable that people want to kill Trump or any other Republican that gets too uppity". Their attitude toward Ashli babbitt projected to the MAGA leadership.
Of course, in the next breathe they'll screech how naming Leftwing Federal judges and crticizing them is "Putting their lives at Risk!!!!"
The scariest thing about the Left? They have an army freaks and losers who will actually go out and do violence to anyone the Leftwing elite dislikes. Look at Elon Musk. What the hell has he done? Bought Twitter and tried to allow Free Speech.
But to the Libtard, none of that matters. They want to follow their masters and the "Party line". They just inhuman robots.
@Fredo, I just laugh at you, especially when you whine.
@Jim at, no the Post would not be “doing front page stories about us every day.” A truck bomb would have left a huge smoking crater at the corner of 13th and K.
Who was the delusional midwit who came up with that "top rated" comment on the WaPoo?. The progressives project a lot of their sickness onto other people..
I went to the local farmers market to buy some cucumbers.
The ACLU volunteers where there asking for money to " defund ICE"
Freder: Well let's start with the quote from Trump above. Did any one of you (Althouse included) object to his call for genocide?
Trump threatened ending Iran's civilization.
You, as is so typical of progressives, first mug words, then torture them beyond all recognition.
Civilization: a complex, highly organized human society characterized by urban development, social stratification, specialized labor, and advancements in technology, science, and governance.
Iran's civilization is characterized by governance that is Shia supremacist Islamo-fascism. Should we be so lucky as to rid the world of that pestilential ideology, there is absolutely no requirement that it be accompanied by mass murder.
Genocide: the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.
For you to equate Trump's statement with genocidal intent is a category mistake of the very first order. Particularly galling, consider the Islamic Republic very much has genocidal hopes. About which you are persistently silent.
There is no need to defend Trump here, because your charge is transparently ridiculous.
When pushed directly, progressives do one of two things: scarper, or prevaricate. You have chosen the latter. You made a specific claim, then when challenged charged off in every direction save the one you had been going.
“Have to hand it to Iman. In a post about how leftists ambiguously threaten political violence he/she directly looks forward to the day when "normal folks" eliminate leftists.”
Where you’ve erred, Fredo, is that no one will have to lift a finger, other than casting their vote for anyone but a Socialist or a Democrat, BIRM.
The ‘rats continue to lose their minds and their way all by themselves.
‘Rat Workers’ Daily… 😆
You, as is so typical of progressives, first mug words, then torture them beyond all recognition.
The left don't use language to communicate, they use it to obfuscate.
"don't" = "doesn't"
Plural noun - I think you can say “don’t.” CC, JSM
Freder Frederson I guess has forgotten the Iran regime regularly calls for DEATH TO AMERICA.
Seems a little exterminationist and genocidal to me.
I guess you don't mind it when foreigners make threats and attacks. Just turn the other butt cheek.
"his call for genocide?"
its a threat to get peace negotiations.
If trump was genocidal he'd just launch the nukes, brah.
If that little old lady had said that to me, I would make it SO fucking clear to her that she had better never voice such a despicable things to me again. She would shite in her Depends.

Targeted decapitation strikes against military targets. You may think that this is the sort of second guessing about Nagasaki and Hiroshima. But it’s not really an assignation if they are in the chain of command, or advising those in it. If you can kill their soldiers, then you can kill their company grade commanders. And their field grade commanders. Etc, all the way up to their general officer commanders. Then why not the people giving the general officers their orders. Where do you draw the line. For me you don’t. If a private is fair game, then so is the Supreme Leader.
Freder, said, "Well let's start with the quote from Trump above. Did any one of you (Althouse included) object to his call for genocide?"
What exactly is his call for genocide? I think you have an imperfect idea just what genocide is.
