Trump is the first world leader to get a shout out from a terrorist as he goes out to mass murder

innocent people in a terrorist attack, Trump can now brag about that to his cult followers at his next violent angry mob rally.

The gunman wrote of how he supported US President Donald Trump “as a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose,”

But we didn't find that out until afterwards, this one made it a point of giving Trump a shout out before he went to kill for him

The US press will whitewash this. We'll know the facts because we're online, but the media will barely touch on it. And they'll bring Candace Owens on for comment.

He is exporting his radicalized brand of extremism and terrorism around the globe

It's just a matter of time before someone wearing a red hat does something similar to slamming a plane into a building

He literally threatened bodily harm against American citizens yesterday!

Could you even begin to imagine the outrage if a democratic president did shit like that!?

And still he rests easy in the white house knowing that no one is gonna do a damn thing to stop him or his crime family!

The damn news media will move right on and cover for him like always.

Really?

What do you think that the Democrats in the house are doing right now? We just got the House back, and it was shut down for the first month, FFS. Watergate took two years, FYI. Dem leaders are investigating on several different fronts because they have to have evidence of crimes committed while in office before even starting to impeach.. Not to mention the Mueller investigation and the NY AG are working on cases.

But sure....

And still he rests easy in the white house knowing that no one is gonna do a damn thing to stop him or his crime family!


I can safely say that dissing our own isn't going to change anything for the better.

Here on DU, we've been keeping up with it. It's a Democratic led House now.

Seems you're out of the loop. Too bad - it's a thing of beauty.

This one is tough to explain away. I wonder, is 40 dead "tough" enough? It is what happens when you let the Genie out of the bottle - can't put it back either.

He goes on to reference Candace Owens: “The person who has influenced me above all is Candace Owens”. Owens is an outspoken US pro-Trump activist known for her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of Democratic Party.

So it is up to us to push back, because Trump is one empty vessel with only love for him, adore him, and back him him in his retribution of all those against him.
Right wing terrorist all over the world love him.

has enabled if not legitimised the expression of racial hatred.

The old concept of human dignity and freedom, as well as the value of human life has well and truly gone away.

Those who feel superior to others because of different gender, age, skin colour, ethnic grouping and religious differences, are now encouraged.

The seething resentment of some low brow, low tolerance individuals I now coming out in the open.

Because . . . 'Trump said it was OK.'

Trump took 2 or 3 years to create the mess. It will take decades to clean it up.
