Do you purposefully try to be wrong about everything?

He should realize as a CEO of a company that people on his side of things are going to hang on every word he says. Considering how unhinged his lefty buddies are right now, he should realize this isn't a joke to some folks, they think it is the end of the world.

well he is a lying piece of shite. He wasn't joking, he went into detail with what he wanted to do. Im surprised the SS didn't put him in jail.

You really should walk this back. You know that if this were said about a newly elected HRC, you would feel differently.

If you can't admit that, you have no credibility.

Worse than that, if it had been a conservative talking about Obama like that in the aftermath of the 2008 election, he would be in jail for a long time.

He won't be the last. This new crop of 20-something millennial "CEOs" have done well creating useful tech apps that victimize contract workers for profit, but they have no real business sense.

They have grown up in their liberal enclave cities with Obama as President and think it is totally cool to bash 50% of the population. It's not, it hurts business, and their shareholders will not be pleased. Some hard lessons are coming...

I've been saying for years that I'm truly befuddled by younger people with tech. This guy looks to be behind me by about 15 years.

You ask any professional my age, and we ALL understand that FB isn't fricking private. Those hundreds of people you have on your friends list? Yeah. They aren't all "friends" in the "I won't out your dumb arse" sense.

I used to tell young people I worked with. I'd say, "hey, when I was young, if I wanted to talk shite about my boss and someone slapped a tape recorder in the room with all of us and pressed record, I had the good fricking sense to NOT talk shite about my boss".

"Well guess what. Facebook is today's tape recorder on steroids".

It is most satisfying when dumbass progressives find out their stupid statements actually have consequences.

Yeah...no.

I despise it when people lose their jobs for their political views. If he said "frick TRUMP!" or some such political outburst, I would understand and even support your point.

But every citizen with a 80+ IQ knows you don't threaten to kill the president.

Ask the secret service how seriously they take these comments. Better yet find out for yourself by making similar comments in the forum of your choice and after your visit from the feds let us know how things went if you are allowed to post bail.

This is the pinnacle of trying too hard contrarianism.

What the guy did was criminally egregious, no matter who is president or president-elect. You know that. I know that. Anybody with half a brain knows that.

Do we need to lock him away forever and throw away the key? No. Does he need a pretty serious criminal repercussion? Absolutely. It would be warranted for anyone in such a position spouting such stuff about anyone in that office.
