It is the attack on Muslims in the mosque in New Zealand that should give Americans

pause when Drumpf talks about the forces he has to protect him. He is the greatest creator of violence in this country and around the world. There is no emergency at the border but there is a crisis in the heart of America and I am afraid as you should be.

When you say, "I am afraid, as you should be", I know that you are right. People should be afraid. But we must let that fear strengthen our resolve.

And it does. And it will.

3. The slaughter of Jews in the Pittsburgh synagogue
Fri Mar 15, 2019, 07:15 AM
Mar 2019

should have given us pause. The Pittsburgh shooter channeled Trump's anti-immigrant hatred. That didn't stop Trump from pushing his hate speech. I listened to many Trump supporters yesterday explaining away Trump's hate Tweet and those supporters were not shown on social media or internet sites, they were shown on all of the major M$M cable news stations. It won't take long for the NZ massacre to be a blip in the radar, until we get back to condemning an American Muslim Congresswoman.

10. There's never much pause when a white American mass murders other Americans

since we are to believe and promote the narrative that the people coming to kill us are "foreign, brown, Muslim, etc." but not the asshole down the street with lots of guns and angry/violent social media posts.

13. Chump is actively recruiting the crazies now
Fri Mar 15, 2019, 09:28 AM
Mar 2019

...until now he's been more subtle, more guarded. But that went out the window with his latest tweets, he's become the instigator-in-chief. The crazy people he's trying to recruit now are mostly gun-toting nuts that are probably already being watched by the feds for various crimes.

By the way I think he's wrong about the military, they will not back Chump in his dirty little war. I doubt many of the municipal police forces will either. Maybe the ICE guys might take his side, but even the Secret Service guys hate Chump.

It’s easier to for them to remain oblivious and think of themselves as good people.

this is the kind of thing he keeps trying to incite. Thoughts and prayers one minute. Divisive hate speech the next. When will the Republican Congressmen and Senators get a clue and realize he is not worth saving and help get rid of him? We need to all write to our Republican representatives and plead with them to please do the right thing and join the Democrats in removing tRump from office. It is the only thing that could bring our country back together again and bring a modicum of civility back to government. It is the only thing which will bring honor back to the Republican party.

if Trump is arrested or indicted or removed from office. "Bikers" will go after liberals.

I guess I'll have to remove those liberal emblems I sewed onto all my clothes, so I can pass for alt-rightwingnut.

We also need to get red caps. For protection.
