Jefferson Davis Trump?

The Hill, 9-29-19

" GOP lawmaker blasts Trump for quoting pastor warning of civil war over impeachment "

" Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) on Sunday criticized President Trump for quoting a pastor saying impeachment could trigger a "Civil War-like fracture" in the country.

"I have visited nations ravaged by civil war," Kinzinger tweeted.

"I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant." "

" "I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant." "

...Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger is right; this is beyond repugnant...

...trump dances with words but his meaning is clear...is it okay for a sitting President to suggest/threaten a civil war?

...is this in itself impeachable?

A test for Joe?

Politico, 9-20-2019

" Biden calls for release of Trump's phone call with Ukraine "

" Joe Biden on Friday called on President Donald Trump to make public a July phone call at the center of a report that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to find dirt on the Democratic presidential candidate's family.

"If these reports are true, then there is truly no bottom to President Trump’s willingness to abuse his power and abase our country," Biden said in a statement. "Such clear-cut corruption damages and diminishes our institutions of government by making them tools of a personal political vendetta." "

………………………………

How hard should Joe push this? I say he should grab trump by the balls and not let go. I see the possible Ukrainian situation as a serious test of Joe's strength and leadership skills. Trump's corruption is not only an attack on the Biden family but a serious affront to the institutions of our great nation. What do you say?

The world is watching.

Is the N.R.A a Domestic Terrorist Organization?

The New York Times, 9-4-2019

" San Francisco Declares the N.R.A. a ‘Domestic Terrorist Organization "
………………..

" In a news release on Wednesday, Ms. Stefani referred to the federal Justice Department’s definition of terrorist activity, which involves the use of a firearm, weapon or dangerous device to endanger the safety of individuals. The definition also includes members of organizations that provide funds, weapons or training to individuals who commit terrorist acts. "
……………….

" “The N.R.A. exists to spread pro-gun propaganda and put weapons in the hands of those who would harm and terrorize us,” Ms. Stefani said in a statement. “Nobody has done more to fan the flames of gun violence than the N.R.A.” "

Moscow Mitch

...McConnell doesn't like "Moscow Mitch"...would "Mass Murder Mitch" be more appropriate?

The Washington Post, 9-3-2019

" How many more names will be added to the list before Mitch McConnell acts on guns? "
………….

" What if there was a mass shooting in the United States not once or twice or four or six times monthly, but every single day, a big one, the kind that electrifies social media and squats for days on Page 1 — would that be enough to move Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell from his insistent inertia on gun safety? Would any volume of bloodshed convince the Kentucky Republican that Congress faces a moral imperative to act? Thirty-eight people were slain in three such shootings in August — in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, as well as West Texas — and still Senate Republicans and President Trump refuse to act. "

Should we avoid travel and gatherings for our own personal safety?

CNN, 9-1-2019

" There's 'an active shooter every other week' in the US, FBI agent says "

" "If you look at the numbers, we're looking at an active shooter every other week in this country," said Christopher Combs, special agent in charge of the FBI's San Antonio division. The FBI defines an active shooter as "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area" like a school, workplace or other public gathering places.

Combs spoke with CNN Sunday about his frustration with the growing number of active shooters, and possible solutions to help prevent the next shooting. "

……………………………

Republicans have done nothing to make us safe from gun violence. Their intransigence to meaningful gun control legislation has made us less safe. They've even loosened gun laws,

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/01/us/fbi-frustrations-mass-shootings/index.html


Should we avoid travel and gatherings for our own personal safety?

I mean this seriously...I'm actually considering avoiding anywhere people may gather...

Gun violence and Republican intransigence has and is destroying our country...


...vote like your life depends on it...because it does...

...republicans...
