Trump safe after gunshots in his vicinity at golf course; FBI investigating assassination attempt

“There’s no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president,” McConnell said. “The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things.”

 

And it's rather obvious that they're referring to advocacy in court. Remember that Trump told the Proud Boys a far right paramilitary organization to "stand back and stand by".

Just more mindless, dangerous leftie hate from a former democrat candidate for potus. I suspect this person would like harm to come to Trump. HC is a nasty and clueless as the Kama lama ding dong.

"I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is," Clinton stated, according to The Post Millennial.

During the Monday night discussion, Maddow queried Clinton about a possible "antidote" to help the media comprehend that Trump's offensiveness allows him to monopolize media attention. Clinton's response was a critique of the media's coverage of Trump, stating that they focus on "his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world."

Assassination Attempt On Trump Ignites New Firestorm: Hillary Clinton Says Media Is Failing to "Expose His True Threat"

 

While republicans try to shoot Trump Democrats exercise their 1st amendment right:

 

Clearly you have angered someone by co-opting one of their favorite phrases (It's a MAGA thing, you wouldn't understand).

 

You don't think Hitler was egotistical, petulant, vindictive, and flat out unfit to hold office?

 

"Goalposts."

 

LOL. That's how you want to play? I think the exact same thing about Hilary. So I guess it's cool to compare her to Hitler as well? That was a terrible analogy by you. Do better.

 

A few minutes of Democrats/liberals calling for political violence.

 

Yes, dangerous rhetoric and violence have come from both "sides." One key distinction with the current Republican party, though, is that the dangerous rhetoric (combined with wholesale fabrications) has been coming directly from or tacitly approved by the leader of the party itself - not to mention his powerful and well-known supporters.

To wit: I've never heard Nikki Haley reference a 2nd Amendment solution for her opponent like Trump did. I did not hear Ron DeSantis making jokes or spreading conspiracy theories about the attack on Paul Pelosi like Trump and Elon Musk did. I haven't seen Mike Pence or Tim Scott telling supporters to beat up a disruptive audience member, bragging about how dangerous their supporters are, or asking militia-type groups to "stand by."

Unfortunately, the Republicans who have tried to push back in the least have themselves been weakened or defeated by MAGA. Recognizing that Trump is uniquely problematic does not minimize in any way the harm done, for example, by the leftist who tried to kill members of Congress at a baseball game. We can hold these simultaneous thoughts at the same time.

 

Go ahead and compare Hillary to Hitler. But as she ever quoted from Mein Kamph like Trump has when he said immigrants were "poisoning the blood" of the nation? Or has she lead a failed coup attempt like Hitler did at Beer Hall Putsch or Trump during Jan 6?

I used to think every case of someone being compared to Hitler was an example of Godwin's Law...that's until Trump came along.

 

Do you not think there's a difference when the toxicity goes to the very top - with the leader himself? What kind of example is that modeling to others? We didn't get this sort of rhetoric from Bush, Obama, or Biden. Trump is unique in this regard. Even putting that distinction aside, do you really think it's fair to equate Biden's relative power and influence over the Democratic party with Trump's power and influence over the Republican party?

 

I'm not playing. Your suggestion was that people invoking Hitler to Trumpism neglects certain character flaws embodied by the latter. I was asking whether you thought those same character flaws were indeed embodied by Hitler. It wasn't an analogy by me, but your snide comment is noted.

 

I think what Trump was saying is that if you replace enough of the people who created Western civilization (Europeans) with other races of people than you won't have Western civilization anymore. Similarly, if you replace enough Japanese with South Asians. Africans. Hispanics and so on Japsnese culture as we know it would cease to exist. Is it wrong for the people of Japan to want to maintain their Japanese culture?

 

Mexicans and other Hispanics are a mixture of Native Americans and mostly Spanish. Isn't Spain a part of Europe? And in places like Arizona, which was once owned by Spain, and a part of Mexico, the Hispanics used to outnumber the white people. So please, how is accepting more Hispanics "poisoning the blood?"

These same, racist tropes used to be said about Italian and Irish immigrants circa 1900, as these Catholics were taking over and going to make the country Catholic instead of Protestant. The first ever immigration law was called, "The Chinese Exclusion Act," and Operation Wetback was an attempt to move Hispanics away from the US into Mexico in the 1960s. All this was racist then, just how Trump's statement is racist now.

 

Did Trump say that accepting more Hispanics was poisoning the blood, or did he say accepting more :migrants" was poisoning the blood?

Referring to Mexicans, some are very white and Spanish/European others are not very European at all

 

LOL
