What about the gag orders imposed by judges after threats from the Slobfather?
A guest on Nicoles program was pointing out the only users of violent rhetoric.
Enough of this effin bothsideism.
And for the record, Jan 6 was more than violent rhetoric. And so was the attempted kidnapping of Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer

(7,678 posts)The laurels we rest on are padded with racism and laced with bigotry. The shiny lining is the carefully woven fabric of lies we've told ourselves for hundreds of magically ignorant years. Some folks would say Barrack Obama was smart, and lucky, to have lived through his whole two terms unscathed. That talk, in some ugly circles, is still called free speech.
Can we, will we, change? Yes, if there is enough time for the truth to sink in far enough. Said truth, though discovered in the 1960's, has not been served much since. One of the major political parties still regularly uses Red-White-and-Blue red meat and spicy "greatest generation" white power powder in the special sauce of their political stew. It's an old recipe, but some people still eat it up. So many refuse to accept the coming, and infinitely sublime, reality of a "brown-majority" demographic in the USA. The worm is turning faster.

(1,079 posts)Using only his first and last name. If the media had considered it an assassination attempt, we would have learned his middle name as well.
Was amazing all the wrong information that was conveyed just merely in the breaking headlines on Sunday. All seemed to make Trump more heroic.

(23,171 posts)They get all excited when incidents like Sunday happens because they get more clicks to their sites.
They gush with ecstasy reporting on him and they still want to be in the bad boys club with him!

Who are ones still living in the basement of their mothers house and dressing up in paramilitary gear and playing Army on the weekend?
Who wants to ban assault weapons and who doesnt, thinking theyre more important than the lives of school children?
Who said he would pay the legal fees of his supporters if they beat up a protester at his rally?
Who ask their Secretary of Defense to shoot Black Lives Matter demonstrators in the leg?
Its always Trump and his supporters on the right.

Coincidence?
No!
I'm a spiritual person and I prayed for him & his family's protection practically every night knowing how some white people were/still are! Especially w drumphf blabbing his birtherism crap back then.

(113,130 posts)who say this asshole was a well known grifter over there after the Ukrainian forces took a hard look at him and said "thanks, but no thanks, kid" when he tried to join up. He then apparently spent much of his time over there until his visa ran out collecting money that no one ever saw being used for its intended purpose
Maybe he was going to ;plug the Secret Service guys so he could approach TFG for some pointers. Or maybe he was going to shoot TFG, a shitty course of action because we'd end up with President Vance (shudder) if he succeeded.
His pedigree (rap sheet) lists over 100 arrests, probably small stuff since the last one was for destruction of a machine, whatever that might be.
Politically, he's all over the map, supporting Sanders and TFG and Biden and now Harris. He doesn't strike me as stupid or even particularly malicious. I have to think there are some untreated mental issues going on.

(59 posts)ALL media needs to adopt a policy to STOP reporting anything that stinks of attacks on personality, or contains unsupportable claims or unverifiable "facts" ("alternative facts" . "Tabloid" (ALL, now, apparently) journalism needs to print a warning at the beginning and end of each piece indicating if the information is unsupported and unverifiable (you know ATTRIBUTION, Accountability, a person to OWN the responsibility for the veracity of their statement)... you know... a lie, or, charitably a fantasy. Failure to do so should be punishable by a LARGE fine, prison time, and a lifetime prohibition on publishing or otherwise disseminating anything at all, punishable by Life in prison. I can't over-state how important it is to protect the integrity of the information that citizens need in order to make any of the many, many decisions they must make in this life. (And... I want to know what Loopy Laura Loomer was doing when she SAW Ms. Harris "sucking dick to get ahead", or shut the fuck up. And how it was when she was trying to get the flaccid out of THAT Deplorable Mushroom. America Wants To Know.) I'm old, but I remember something called "Libel", but apparently such things as that are now rendered "quaint" and "moot" in a world beset by "Invisible Hands", "Imaginary Friends", "Alternative Facts", and "Magical Thinking". I mean they PROMISED to contrive any kind of fantasy to showcase the "suffering" of the American (White) People!?!?!?!? Can I get A "WTF"?
