This is the narrative that the M$M doesn't have the guts to write about.

WTF, the Pittsburgh synagogue murderer channeled Trump, the NZ mosque murderer channeled Trump, but the narrative on a thread here is that AOC is pointing out that we need to do more than offer thoughts and prayers, how awful of her. (sarcasm)

He is ALWAYS inciting violence and should be taken to court. Isn't inciting violence the one exception to the 1st Amendment?

Trump is also committing another violent act. By calling climate science "fake news"... AND by distracting EVEN THIS WONDERFUL DU COMMUNITY from the world wide student protests against global warming that began today.

So F*k you Trump. Here's the news you and your murderous minions are keeping us from addressing.

You just know Trump is gleeful today. He's probably relishing every minute of this knowing that just yesterday he threatened violence and today on the other side of the world his followers slaughtered dozens of innocents. I bet he can barely contain his happiness and glee.

And mark my words, he will gloat about this, his handlers will try to stop him, but he won't be able to help himself. He'll tweet something out like, "While I don't condone the attacks, it's a lesson to my enemies of what can happen when."

and all of his followers are gleeful. AOC is right, when a Republican (Trumper) comes on TV today and offers thoughts and prayers, you best believe that they are lying. Put the bastards under oath when they say thoughts and prayers.

5. We have a Malignant Narcissist in the Oval.

Why is the behavior of malignant narcissism often considered dangerous?

Individuals with this profile can form connections with others. However, they process information in ways that can hurt society in general, but also the people who love or depend on them. Family, co-workers, employees, and others in their lives often have to walk on eggshells to appease a fragile ego and minimize the occurrence of their unstable, impulsive, or aggressive behaviors.

They lash out or humiliate others for infractions of even the most frivolous nature (for example, you gave an opinion that differed from theirs; you demonstrated confidence, and it made them look bad; you told a joke that involved poking fun at them).

For some, their grandiosity and protection of their fragile "true self" can be at such extreme levels that they will lie and give the impression that simply because they say it, that makes it reality. Many will become angered if their lies are challenged with truth or facts. Of course, this can create problems for the people close to them, as this pattern of behavior can easily veer into gaslighting.

After the dead are buried and things calm down, as best they can. The NZ mosque should hold a prayer service and it should invite world leaders to attend the service, not just in remembrance of the victims, but a service for world peace.

Let's see how many world leaders are sincere when they say thoughts and prayers, go to the real mosque service and pray.

What is it going to take for trump to be escorted out of the White House? Threatening violence towards US citizens/lawmakers who disagree with him is not to be taken lightly. What can we do folks? trump is beyond anything we have seen in any of the past 44 presidents.

while I was riding my bike. Unreal, they have already switched the narrative to Democrats hating Jews. Anyone who believes that msnbc isn't right wing I have a bridge for sale. They even have a name for it which I'm not going to repeat here, probably a Frank Luntz special.

While the Republicans do nothing but ignore these threats. They just thought the mid terms was bad for them. Wait until 2020 gets here, and then watch them regret this going on too long. This is a terrorist in the White House, and Republicans are ok with that.

Remember their vote to repeal the ACA, with no replacement? That would have resulted in 24,000 more deaths, from lack of medical treatment, every year.

And they CELEBRATED.

They are truly evil.
