I actually disagree with Legal mindset here. He's saying that all these people making tasteless jokes should be banned because Republicans who made similar jokes would be banned. Maybe it's just because I'm a #darkfedi admin but I think that there's room for jokes I find immensely distasteful on both sides. Now just because I want it to be allowed doesn't mean that I agree with it, but on the other hand, look at all those people telling you exactly who they are. Aren't they doing us all a favor?

Now the cardinal problem most of the so-called jokes that he lists make is that they're just not very funny. If you're going to make a joke about a potential presidential assassin, you got to make it funny. If it's not funny then you're being crass *and* boring.

I also feel like it's pretty funny invoking the name of John Wilkes Booth, who killed the president famous for abolishing slavery, but not in the way they intended.

I do think that the one person who died and the two people who are critically injured aren't remotely funny. I'm trying to keep them in my thoughts because as much fun as it is the fact that Trump wasn't hurt, somebody was.

And keeping my own rules, I don't think anyone should be trying to assassinate Biden, and if anyone did try and a bunch of innocent bystanders were hit in the crossfire, those people should be respected because they're just innocent bystanders, regardless of their political beliefs.
