How friggin stupid are these people. Not only in their idiotic political views, but in saying such crazy, potentially incriminating stuff under their own names. It's beyond belief how stupid some people are.

A state senator from Missouri is being investigated by the US Secret Service for saying she hopes President Donald Trump will be assassinated.
Democratic state senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal posted the comment on Facebook but later deleted it. The Secret Service has confirmed they are "looking into the comments" and say "all threats against the President" will be investigated.
The senator says she was wrong to write the post but says she will not resign.
She had written "No. I will. I hope Trump is assassinated!" in response to a comment on Facebook. She told the St Louis Post-Dispatch: "I didn't mean what I put up. Absolutely not. I have deleted it, and it should have been deleted.
"I am not resigning. What I said was wrong, but I am not going to stop talking about what led to that, which is the frustration and anger that many people across America are feeling right now."
Members of her own party were quick to condemn the comment with some calling for her resignation. The leader of the Democratic Caucus in the Missouri senate, Gina Walsh, said her colleague "should be ashamed of herself for adding her voice to this toxic environment."
Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, also of Missouri, said: "I condemn it. It's outrageous. And she should resign."

I am more concerned with the original TWEETER, Christopher Gagne, who divulged that his Anti-TRUMP cousin was part of PRESIDENT TRUMP’S Secret Service protection.
What the hell is there to investigate? Can you not read what she wrote? Is it not in English?
[his tweet doesn’t say his cousin is]
The tweet implied the cousin was forced to serve out his 6 year commitment to the Secret Service.
There is one way to put this crap to a stop.
Come down like a TON of Bricks on people posting and discussing the overthrow of the government or death/assasination of the Potus or GOP.
If you DO NOT do that, then guess what? You legitimize them and encourage the event to happen!
I might be wrong, but I got the impression that the being forced to serve out the last two years of duty was the tweeter’s interpretation. Didn’t he say something like I wonder how he feels about this after 4 years of Obama? Anyway, I suppose if the agent really wants off Presidential duty, he could be asked to be on Hillary’s detail.
The BBC's usual way of saying, So it's OK then.
Anyway, isn't deleting the tweet 'tampering with/destruction of evidence'? Just add that to the charges...
Must have been a typo...no, check that. She’s running for re-election this year and is at serious risk of losing, providing we run a guy who DOESN’T try to explain “legitimate rape”.
Clair spent more money on her opponent than on her own campaign.
And, the sucker didn’t realize he was her first choice.
What needs to be Investigated?
She said it and she doubled down on it.
In other words, she Confessed. Arrest her.
Yea, I know...remember that well. The sad thing is that it’s next to impossible to find a person that’s conservative, but is not at risk of making a fool of himself.
As much as I like Trump...I would have a preferred a ‘more careful’ Republican with the same traits as Trump. But they simply DO NOT EXIST - or if they do exist (which I think is the case), they never are allowed to make it out of the Little Leagues, since they are not Uniparty.
Ok. So arrest her and put her in County jail awaiting trial tomorrow.
