In the final hours before his resignation, now-former White House National Security Adviser Michael T. Flynn said he “crossed no lines” in his discussion with Russia’s ambassador, but ultimately he was most concerned about the steady stream of leaks to reporters based on classified information.

“In some of these cases, you’re talking about stuff that’s taken off of a classified system and given to a reporter. That’s a crime,” Flynn told The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group during a telephone interview from his White House office on Monday.

“You call them leaks. It’s a criminal act. This is a crime. It’s not just a wink and a nod,” Flynn said.

So I forgive your conflation with yelling shit about "DIE COMMIE DIE" on the internet and killing commies.  One is speech.  One is action.  We hold these things very separately in the US.  Or, at least, we used to...when the world made a bit more sense and people were generally more civil.

---

i think that's mainly bull...words lead to actions; 'tis why we don't have the uneducated, typically, running things.

---

Words don't always turn into actions.  Sometimes words are just words.  Sometimes ideas are just ideas.  Sometimes thoughts are just thoughts.

and what makes you think the world as it is, still exists? maybe your posit of things "as they were, when things made more sense" is a figment from the past?

---

The past and the future are both figments and the present is fleeting.

So, could be.  But it was more orderly when I was a kid.  But that's partly because I had good parents.  But, Reagan too.  Patriotism was a thing.  People had great respect for the president generally.  Teachers didn't teach any kind of politics.  We had Flag Day.  We stood for the pledge of allegience.  Every day. 

I'm rambling.  But yeah, it's conceivable that I assume the world was more orderly because my world was.

But, one thing that was different is that the media were more or less nice about the president.  Late Night Talk Show hosts made fun of both sides.  Shit was just more orderly...trust me.

well, i hope i don't see reactionaries going out on the streets to bash heads in...but i see calls for it. lol, i've seen calls to raid the secession of California...Cascadia.

I hope so too...but if we do, they'll be cell mates with their enemies.

Now, if someone speaks out and starts talking seriously about rallying people together at a time and date...then you have reason for concern.

see above. it's already happened. i've seen people take their videos down, because they realized, shit, i dunno, might not want to have that up online.

---

That's probably the limit right there.  Put a video up there, realize you've gone too far, get back down off the soap box.  Better letting your own out loud voice letting you know you've gone too far  than letting the sound of gunfire do the same..

People need to blow off steam.  That's what it boils down to.  Men especially.  All those sex urges need some outlet.  Sometimes that outlet is fantasizing or screaming random violent thoughts.  Fine.  As long as they're just thoughts.  When thoughts turn into action, we have a problem.  That's freedom.

i'll fight words too.

I don't understand.

i'll grant you this argument...but only cause you're being nice, and i'm Canadian. (no, actually, wait...this is a crappy argument. don't get me wrong, i'd grant the compromise you'er trying to discern here, but guess what...the guy probably wouldn't have said anything, and kept his mouth shut 'til he had acted...but he might not have acted if he wasn't being given the prospects to take action from the rhetoric he was taking in.
...
hypothetically.

clearly order isn't the will of the day, considering there are thousands of people in America worshipping what they think is a Chaos deity, from Egyptian lore...for the sake of blasting Hillary out of the race.

Stories are starting to develop about a rouge CIA alliance leaking the intel on Flynn. Treason anyone?

There are people in the intelligence community actively leaking classified information to the media, which is a serious crime.  Whether they are CIA or even affiliated, I won't say.  But ther's definitely leaks of classified information. There are taps on the president's phones and information is getting out to the press. 
Lotta leaks on the Trump Train.
