Why De Niro and not Alec Baldwin?

[Baitball Blogger]

My guess: De Niro's activism is much closer to home to the Magabomber.

1. Don't give them any ideas.

2. Puerto Rico, Robert De Niro's wife,

and maybe Baldwin has a bigger mouthpiece, ie SNL

This thing doesn't feel like it's over, either.

3. Give it time

This is not over yet.

There are only so many bombs these terrorists can build at a time.

4. Who Says Baldwin Isn't on the List?

You just know a suspicious package addressed to some kid named "Alex Baldwin" will turn up at 30 Rock sooner or later. In fact, I'm a little surprised MSNBC hasn't yet been targeted...

8. The one sent to CNN was addressed to John Brennan

They thought he worked at CNN, when in fact he works for MSNBC.

5. De Nero dishes out ...

HARD condemnation of the Failed Micro-Mushroom Penis King Orange,.. where as Baldwin dishes out SOFT condemnation of micro-mini prick.

De Nero challenges his alpha male tough and rugged persona of viral manhood. King Orange will not permit that he be seen as Princes Tangerine. He must engage in hand to hand combat in order to save the honor of the Royal Crown and Coat of Arms of the House of trDump and masculinity of his micro dick nestled somewhere under the folds of fat and blubber of his stomach and chubby humongous thighs.

7. CNN seems to be in their sights because Trump and the right keep bringing them up.

The Right seems to need one target to center around, and CNN seems to be it for them. It has been that way for years.

9. Baldwin is doing comedy on a comedy show

one would just make people angrier.

10. "Fuck Trump" speech

Because DeNiro said “Fuck Trump” on live TV at the Tony awards in June.

11. Alec Baldwin's funny. De Niro ain't jokin'.

14. The MAGAholes probably hate-watch SNL so they keep him around for a reason.

15. De Niro Surprised Me

as well. My theory is that the person or group behind this is pretty unsophisticated and low information. Lots of Internet winger exposure. I base that on the obviousness rather than the power (with the exception of Soros, who happens to be the target of the month) of the targets. Obama? He's an ex-President. Hillary? Ex-candidate and Sec of State. Biden? They are mostly figureheads. Holder and Trump recently had a dust up, but he's also a former when it comes to power. I'm kind of surprised Elizabeth Warren didn't get one, since she's a recent high profile target. All relatively standard hate list members.

I was surprised that he/they picked De Niro, as he is no where near as high profile as the others. Unless he's a biggie on the right wing Internets, which I don't know. If you list them all and then ask, "Which one is not like the others?" I'd pick DeNiro.
