At their recent Sydney show, Kyle Gass was given a birthday cake and asked to make a wish for his 64th birthday, to which he said "Don't miss Trump next time."

In his later statement, Black said he was "blindsided" by his bandmate's comment and condemned any calls for political violence.

He murdered thousands of people with a willful mishandling of a pandemic virus for stupid and shortsighted reasons. He is a mass murderer and terrorist who may become President again. And people are worried about fucking decency.

Politicians are always responsible for deaths of their constituents as an indirect result of their actions, it's just a question of how many. We set up legislative and judicial systems to address this question rather than relying on mobs and vigilantes. It's called living in a civilized society. It's not about decency, it's about creating a safe society we want to live in. Personally I don't want to live in the wild west where anyone with a gun can play judge, jury, and executioner; you may feel differently.

But I agree that the recent SCOTUS ruling is worrying, because it does appear to put the president above the law. As JFK put it, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable". Not good, not preferable...but inevitable.

I would have much preferred the government do it's job and protect us from this literal fucking comic book villain. But it hasn't happened, and it probably won't. So this is what happens.
