The missing context is that this is directed at ISIS, not the general public

It’s still a tweet that should not be posted by any account of such importance, but they’re not quite just saying outright to the populace in general “we’re gonna kill you”

Good thing we all trust the federal government to give due process to people they will accuse of being ISIS agents working domestically in the US.

They’re disappearing people on the street in and they’re posting no context tweets saying “WE WILL FIND YOU-AND WE WILL KILL YOU”. I’d hold off on sounding so sure about what they mean for now.

Oh c'mon, a little sanewashing never caused any damage.

I mean it's not exactly no context, it was in direct reply to another tweet that was simply cut out of the screenshot

It's still incredibly unbecoming of an official government communication. I'm just saying we don't need to overstate how bad it is, it's plenty bad enough already

Fart has told the USAmerican people his plan though.

I don't know, I think any government saying that they will hunt and kill people is pretty bad. Maybe something more along the lines of investigation and prosecution. I'd even accept using necessary force to protect citizens, territory, and those of our allies that we have promised to defend.

100% agree, which is why I called it bad

I’m not pretending that that isn’t happening. I’ve seen the videos going around and it’s truly horrifying. But the tweet in question literally does have context. It’s a quote tweet quoting a propaganda video about ISIS. I’m not so ignorant as to completely dismiss the possibility that this wasn’t JUST directed at ISIS, but cutting out the quoted tweet and just showing the quote is misinformation and i don’t think that helps anybody at the moment.

Meh…I’m a “first they came for the socialists” person, and Fart has told USAmerica his plan.
