The truth about the idiotic right wing. 28 -35 percent at most. WE MUST VOTE!!!!

That is who makes up this group. 28 - 35% It varies but that is it. Maybe, it gets as high as 37 percent in some elections, but we have a very strong majority of clear level headed thinkers, both republican and democrats.
..the truth is this: .. If we vote against their candidates, they cannot win...............................
.......................................BUT WE MUST VOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...................................................
....................................again, if the"normals" vote. .........They lose.....

..........................................THEREFORE...WE MUST VOTE !!!!!!!........................................

Trump Blames the Media: CNN

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-rally-wisconsin-october-2018/index.html

(you need to scroll down more than half the page to see this story)

President Donald Trump took no responsibility for the national political environment at a campaign rally Wednesday night, instead a pointing finger at opponents and the news media.

Trump addressed the explosive devices mailed to the Obamas, the Clintons, CNN and other public officials during a rally in Wisconsin.

He complained of “mobs” -- a reference to protesters who opposed Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, confronting Republican senators on Capitol Hill, and who have publicly confronted GOP lawmakers and Trump Cabinet officials at restaurants and in public.

“No one should carelessly compare political opponents to historical villains, which is done often and all the time. It’s got to stop. We should not mob people in public spaces or destroy public property. There is one way to settle our disagreements -- it’s called peacefully, at the ballot box. That’s what we want,” Trump said.

He then said it’s the news media’s responsibility to set the national political tone.

Could these bomb attempts change the election?..Could the attempts

get people to come out and vote? Especially vote against Trump's language and attitude? Could people who were reluctant to vote before today, have more desire to come out to vote? Not just the desire, but the action of doing so? Voting when they might have not voted before today? I think so, but we will know in a couple of weeks. I sure hope people vote against Trump!!

Well, guess what? There is as of today, 10/23/18, a valid reason to impeach.

Inciting people to commit violence. Trump may deny, but we all know it is the truth. If we win the House of Representatives, this could be a very hot issue. What do you think? Is this a valid issue? Does he incite people to commit violence? Did Trump incite the criminals who sent the bombs?
Yes, this is ugly and awful. So is what happened today.

October 24, 2018

It is clear to me. FBI will get the people who sent the bombs. & Mueller will get Trump & his gang.

...Both will take time. Both are determined. You might say that these events are not the same.
But both events are crimes, but crimes of a different kind. The former head of the FBI that is investigating a group that colluded with a foreign nation to influence and possibly change a federal election is just as motivated to catch those crooks as the FBI is to someone or some group that sent bombs to our former leaders. You may say NO, but I would say yes.
... Mueller has already gotten a number of Trump's gang, and is working with them to indict other members of the gang. In each case the investigators will find solid proof that will convict the criminals. You might say that there is no comparison. OK. You have your opinion. I say in both cases they will catch the crooks. Both cases might take time. But, in my opinion in both cases the investigators will get the top dogs.

October 24, 2018

Yes, the FBI will catch the person or persons who sent the bombs.

That is what the FBI does. And the entire country will find out the truth about this. It may take some time, but that is what has happened in the past. The FBI has caught the sender. And it will catch this person or persons.

The "No Proof" comment from Trump is an admission that he lied. (almost an apology)

... He is contradicting his own statement. I believe he was told he had to correct that statement to protect the Republican Party in the upcoming election. It is the closest thing I have seen that he admits that he lied.
..He then says that there "might be"...to soften the blow, but the original statement, "I have no proof" is something I don't think I have ever seen. Like saying, "I was wrong" but a softer way of saying it. By admitting that he has "no proof" he is trying to take that comment, about middle eastern people in the caravan out of the news. It is almost like saying, "I made a mistake on that one"....but not using those words.
...Almost an apology. ..."I was wrong"....this story is now on the Latest News... Here is link:

Here is a link to the Washington Post story, where he makes that comment, posted by DonViejo..this was posted yesterday..10/23, Tuesday, at 4:53pm

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/pence-seeks-to-bolster-trumps-unsubstantiated-claim-of-middle-easterners-in-a-migrant-caravan/2018/10/23/048ce726-d6d2-11e8-83a2-d1c3da28d6b6_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.d9f51da0654c

Here are the exact words from that Washington Post story:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

President Trump on Tuesday acknowledged that he has no proof that people of Middle Eastern descent have joined a large migrant caravan moving toward the U.S.-Mexico border, tempering a claim he has made in recent days.

“There’s no proof of anything. But there could very well be,” Trump said in remarks in the Oval Office on Tuesday afternoon.

His Body Behind the Wheel for A Week Before It Was Discovered

warning: sad story, about suicide in NYC.. took place in August..reported today's edition..About life, its difficulties, and lack of hope.

Source: New York Times..

10/23/18

A software designer ended his life in his parked car in the East Village. His family asked the police for help finding him, but met resistance.

A neighbor walking his dog in the East Village saw the man one night, sitting motionless behind the wheel inside a parked car. Two days later, he was still there. The windows were up, the engine off -- this during an August heat wave. The neighbor called 911.

Soon the block of East 12th Street was busy with police officers and their bosses, the car roped off with yellow tape. There were no signs of foul play. A team from the Office of Chief Medical Examiner arrived that afternoon, Aug. 31, and removed the body to determine the cause of death. People who lived and worked nearby kept their distance.

A direct link to the entire article.......(found by..BumRushDaShow. ) Pictures and entire article at link below. Article discusses his life, family, work, and what may have caused this.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/23/nyregion/man-found-dead-in-car-new-york.html

Another paragraph that was special to me:

"The chain of events serves as a stark reminder that even in 2018 Manhattan, a city that lives beneath the nonstop gaze of countless surveillance cameras, one that for years has urged its citizens, if they see something suspicious, to say something, it is still possible for a dead man in a parked car on a busy block to go unnoticed for days."

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
