Comedian Josh Johnson, a regular "Daily Show" host & voice actor on the Disney Channel cartoon "Kiff," appears to endorse insurance executive assassinations — says Trump should give out free health insurance to stop the assassination attempts against himself.
JOSH JOHNSON: "I think that there has been a a co-opting of nonviolence to the point of almost being a psyop... You can only take away so much from a person before they have no options left, other than to scream in the street, i.e., sort of riot or something like that -- or before they pinpoint certain individuals that they see as the the perpetrators of all these crimes against making a way of life. You shouldn't have to earn the right to live."
"When people, of no fault of their own, get sick and they can't afford whatever this astronomical bill is and then they get on the hook for for this bill for their care... Then the insurance company is over here side-stepping them left and right, putting them on hold for three days or putting them in a circle of reasoning around paperwork until they die anyway. It's like, that's not considered violence by us. That's actually not considered violence. That's just considered business. And so I think that when people rise up against that thing, we've labeled that thing violence.
And so whenever people are so outwardly and loudly nonviolent, I think there are some people that take advantage of that, knowing that you're basically saying nothing's ever going to happen... There's a dark road ahead for people who take for granted the general public's nonviolence, 'cause people don't want to be violent. You may get mad at somebody, but you're not like, 'I'm actually gonna kill you.'
I'll give you an example right now. You look at something like the White House Correspondents Dinner, and if you're someone like Trump and you genuinely believe -- now you've had a few attempts all your life. If I were Trump, I'd be like, 'You know what? Free school lunch. Y'all not going to shoot free school lunch, are you?' I think that that's the tactic. But they're so greedy and they're so sadistic. They can't even do that. They don't even have the self-preservation to be like, 'Oh, y'all y'all going to shoot free healthcare? Okay, okay, by all means, come at free healthcare.'"
HOST: "Like, he's forced at gunpoint to do the right thing."
JOHNSON: "That's kind of what I mean about some of non-violence feeling like some sort of psyop is because a government should be in fear of their people. It should be scary for any politician to pull off the things that we're seeing."

Sen. Jon Ossoff tells an Atlanta church "I've been turning to scripture" to understand the "moral corruption" of Trump, quotes a few verses from the book of Amos, and suggests Trump is specifically targeting "black political power" as revenge for Biden's 2020 victory.
"Amos says of his kingdom's rulers that while they trample on the poor, they build for themselves houses of stone. They lie on beds of ivory and anoint themselves with the finest oils. And while living in these Mar-a-Lago-like conditions, they indulged in corruption and abused their power. Amos said they afflict the righteous. They take bribes. They turn aside the needy at the gate.
Now in Amos' time, bishop, there were no elections, but there was this gate, the city gate, where the people could seek redress. It was like a courthouse or a town hall. In fact, the gate might have been the closest thing in Amos' time to the polling place in ours. It was the 8th century BC ballot box. Do y'all feel me?
...
Remember those who afflict the righteous and take bribes. He says they hate him who reproves in the gate. They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks the truth. In other words... what they hated the most was when the people called them out and tried to hold them accountable in public. Are y'all still with me? Okay.
Because in our time, what those who build ballrooms and monuments to themselves -- who rake in billions from foreign princes while the people's savings disappear with their hospital bills -- what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls.
So, here we are in Fulton County, where the president of the United States sent his spies and his agents to seize your ballots. Did you all see that?
And why Fulton County? I submit to you it is because the fact that black voters and black political power were instrumental to his defeat might be even more offensive to this president than the defeat itself. The Fulton County raid, the destruction of the Voting Rights Act, the executive order attacking voting. They've made their intentions very clear.
But how foolish of them to launch this attack on voting rights here at the center, the spiritual center, the moral center of the very black history they seek to erase. Our answer must be so massive, our defense of voting rights so fierce that no plot against the franchise can foil the will of the people.
Because Bishop, what else does Amos say? Do you remember what else Amos says? He says: 'Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream.' Yes, sir. And I believe we will overcome this wickedness and restore hope and return our country to the path of progress."

Bernie Sanders, campaigning with Graham Platner, mocks @elonmusk while pushing his bill for a "5% annual wealth tax" on billionaires (that is, confiscating assets whether they have chosen to sell them or not).
"If that bill were in effect this year, Elon Musk would pay 39 billion more in taxes... This confiscatory, terrible, drastic, radical piece of legislation would leave Musk with just $737 billion left to survive. Think he can make it on 737 billion? Yeah, maybe."
Of course, the key word here is "annual." What's left after 10 years? 20 years? And why is Bernie entitled to take those assets by force?

Ro Khanna, who has been attacking SCOTUS as extreme, politicized and partisan, attempts to make the case that KBJ has been acting apolitically:
"Why do you say she's not acting apolitically?"
"I believe she's acting, is what she thinks the Constitution requires."
“I believe she is looking at the Constitution through her lived experience and lens and coming to decisions on that."
