There's nothing new about Donald Drumpf riling up people to threaten the press. The Republicans have been encouraging this kind of behavior for years. Until recently, though, it's been against folks like women trying to obtain abortions, and the doctors who provide them.
In some of those cases, people have died — shot through their windows at home, blown up at a clinic, or gunned down at church.
So we cats don't have a whole lot to add on the jackass who just got arrested for threatening The Boston Globe — except to say that he probably wouldn't consider himself in the same category as Muslim terrorists. But he is. And Trump is complicit. We cats HISS.
