Since the election, several celebrities have voiced their displeasure -- even anger -- with the Trump administration. Some have gone so far as to suggest violent measures. From Robert De Niro to Snoop Dogg, here are nine left-leaning noteworthy people who have fanned themes of violence toward Trump and the GOP.

Why not go back to the 70s, where the field is really rich? "All means necessary" and all that.

Or back to the anarchists of the 20s?

See? Now you've got that trolling grove going right!

You've got the idea.

Spread it! What's the point of the Internet if you can't spread hatred?

Tell you what: when you people apologise for Ted "chickenhawk" Nugent calling for Obama's assassination, then you might get taken seriously for complaining about Kathy Griffin's crappy prop which (hard as the concept seems to be for you to grasp) wasn't actually a death threat.
If it's acceptable from Ted Nugent, it's no less acceptable from Snoop Dogg or Robert DeNiro. Either all are wrong are none are as you can't pick and choose which suggestions that a politician needs to die are okay based on partisan bias.

The topic: Video, story - from the far left New York Times: leftists laugh, cheer and giggle as Johnny Depp talks about assassinating the president

Johnny Depp, Courting Outrage, Flirts With Idea of Trump Assassination

LONDON — The actor Johnny Depp is the latest American entertainment figure to suggest — however jokingly, ironically or obliquely — the killing of President Trump.

Speaking on Thursday at the Glastonbury arts festival in southwest England, Mr. Depp asked the audience, “Can you bring Trump here?”

The remark was met with booing and jeering, and he continued: “You misunderstand completely. When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? I want to clarify: I’m not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it’s been awhile, and maybe it’s time.”

The words were being interpreted as an allusion to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth, an actor, in 1865.

Mr. Depp, who was introducing a screening of the 2004 film “The Libertine” — in which he played the womanizing poet John Wilmot, second earl of Rochester — acknowledged that his words would cause a storm.

“By the way, this is going to be in the press and it’ll be horrible,” he said. “It’s just a question; I’m not insinuating anything.”

Mr. Depp’s comments immediately drew rebukes, with his critics describing them as particularly distasteful and dangerous given their timing. A gunman, believed to be upset about Mr. Trump’s election, opened fire last week at members of the Republican congressional baseball team in a Washington suburb.

“Secret Service, we have video evidence of Johnny Depp threatening to assassinate President Trump. Please do something!” an account linked to Tennessee Republicans wrote on Twitter. Others suggested a boycott of Mr. Depp’s films, although supporters countered that the remarks had clearly been made in jest.

Mr. Depp is not the first celebrity to come under fire for making violent allusions toward Mr. Trump, spurring a debate about where to draw the line regarding incitement, political commentary and art when it comes to a president who has shown no reluctance to antagonize opponents.

That word, trolling, does not mean what you think it means

See, I am discussing the topic, you are (as always) attacking me personally for that, because it apparently enrages you when others post factual information which goes against the propaganda that you have been indoctrinated to

"Trolling"

a : to antagonize (others) online by deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content

It is not acceptable for anyone, even Nugent sees that

But the topic is not Ted Nugent, though I can see why you are desperate to try to make him the topic.

my statement to the comrades who repeatedly attack respectmen also works here---wouldn't it be great if they just kinda spoke up and said "you know, youre right, its despicable, we decry it, and are ashamed to be a part of the side who acts that way."

I can only assume their not doing is an indication of their tacit agreement.
