1. Suspect was last seen wearing a red MAGA hat.

n/t

[demmiblue]

2. And a Q t-shirt.

[Botany]

4. Trump attacks Chairman Cummings and w/in a days somebody tries to break into his house.

I might be wrong but I think they are linked.

[demmiblue]

5. His tweets actually came after the break-in, from what I read (*Edit below).

Edit: I went to Trump's Twitter timeline... his tweets regarding Cummings began on the same day.

Edit 2: MSNBC just said that it was just hours before the tweets.

19. limbaugh and wannabes have been attacking cummings for a while before that

trump also

[Sanity Claws]

38. But when did he try to get Ivanka's emails?

That is supposed to be what set off 45’s tirade.

[StarfishSaver]

39. Before the break-in

[malaise]

6. Thread winner

Remember when one showed up at Speaker Pelosi's place

[demmiblue]

9. And AOC's campaign office. n/t

[lunatica]

35. Just because there's been a spike in blue collar crimes

against Democrats doesn’t mean that they are targeting Democrats. Why would anyone say that?

[bdamomma]

26. tRump is inciting

this kind of behavior, could you classify this as a "hate crime"?

[calimary]

29. Well, I certainly would. But I'm no legal expert.

[sprinkleeninow]

41. PBS⊙NEWSHOUR: Ohioan interviewed. "tRump excites people."

What he meant to say was he incites people.

I can't listen to 'them' anymore. Oh, my nerves!

3. Omfg

Trumps tweet:

Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed,” Trump tweeted on Friday. “Too bad!”

[Malmsy]

8. That is dangerous. I can't believe that Twitter can't do anything about him. eom

[demmiblue]

10. I don't think anyone is going to do anything about Trump. Frustrating.

13. I'm just glad that the FBI terrorism task force hasn't been dismantled like the HHS task force. eom

[calimary]

31. Just give him time. Those domestic terrorists are his people.

He’ll stand behind them (literally - as the cowardly chickenshit he is) way before he considers the safety and security of the rest of us.

[lunatica]

36. Well he's sure been forecasting an uprising of his followers if

he ever loses an election. He’ll claim they’re all fine people.

[True Blue American]

43. Welcome to DU!:)

[MontanaMama]

16. Twitter could do something but

twitter won’t. Twitter is SUCH a cesspool sometimes.

Welcome to DU.

[DallasNE]

17. Do You Mean "Won't"?

Why they won't is because of the revenue he generates for them based on clicks. No way Twitter is going to kiss that money goodbye. Another example of how corrupting money is to society. And money equals power.

[Malmsy]

34. That's what I meant. I 'can't' believe that they 'can't' censor his tweets.

I should have been clearer.

They tried to say that they "couldn't" because he's a "world leader'

[calimary]

32. Welcome to DU, Malmsy!

I can’t believe it, either. He’s a domestic terrorist with a huge platform to spread his toxins all over everywhere. If I were running Twitter, I’d take his account down.

I’m a mom. What does a good and responsible mom do when the kids won’t play nicely with their toys? She takes their toys AWAY. trump needs to have his toys taken AWAY.

SOMEBODY’S gotta parent this asshole. His own mom and dad certainly didn’t.

[Malmsy]

37. Thank you for the welcome.

I'm a mom, too.

After Obama's example, it's like a slap in the face to listen to this man.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Fake sympathy from ... tRump. Almost encouraging his goons. . . . nt

[barbtries]

40. to me he sounds gleeful.

i could be projecting, but that's usually trump's gig.

i hope whoever it was gets caught so we learn whether it was incited by trump's stochastic terrorism. i'd bet it was.

[ksoze]

11. Trumps initial tweets were AFTER the break in

His tweets were around 6:00AM, hours after he break in.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. For those too young to remember

In his book, "The Palace Guard", Dan Rather details such an event at his home during the peak of the Watergate saga. Same thing - intrusion in the wee hours.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. As someone wrote, at least the police didn't try to arrest Cummings in his own home. . . . nt

[karin_sj]

24. Sad but true

[AllaN01Bear]

18. had to get some grounding on what is qanon. been hearing about this for a while

scary. on edit : this whole break in stuff smells to high heaven...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. I'm pretty sure the poster upthread was joking. But QAnon is a noxious virus suckers love. . . . nt

23. C'mon, everybody knows that Ellen DeGeneres is a deep state asset/CIA operative!

21. Now you know the rest, of the story!

I didn't think Rep. Cummings would have an unprotected house. Good deal there!

I hope he is getting protection from tRumps racist minions.

I doubt his house was picked at random.

Which of his stooges set this up?

tRumps Watergate!

[yaesu]

22. the House should withhold funds for tRumps security and his lavish stays outside the White House

make him a prisoner in the place he hates the most, DC.

[FBaggins]

27. They don't have that power

Lots of people seem to seriously misunderstand the “power of the purse”

[KY_EnviroGuy]

25. We will notice Rep. Cummings did not threaten with, or fire a gun.

Amazing how that works! (common sense and staying cool).......

[FBaggins]

30. Do we know that?

He may have yelled “I’m holding a shotgun and I know how to use it!” Or “you set off the alarm and armed security will be here within two minutes!”

[KY_EnviroGuy]

33. You could be right but...

I assumed if a weapon had been shown by either party, it would have made the news. Nothing further in that regard in the WaPo story than what Rep. Cummings said. Probably would have to see the police report to know for sure.

...........

[DaDeacon]

44. If he had a firearm nothing wrong with that!

[CatMor]

28. This is a ridiculous attempt by trump to say ...

see, I'm right about Baltimore. How many break-ins occurred in DC, New York City, Chicago and anyplace in the US on that day. Dumpy Trumpy is an idiot at the highest level.

42. Orange Traitor Tot would have cried and wet his diapers.

Bad ass vs fat ass.
