    I don’t think it’s reasonable to equivocate a former president making a verbal threat, which still sucks, with an actual state apparatus signing it into law

      Both are violent threats. US just used to be more legalistic about this sort of thing. I mean Russia also sentenced the judges in absentia in Russian courts. I don’t think you could say they’re better.
