'We must never descend into violence': Biden condemns Trump rally shooting; details on suspect, victims emerge

[Dulcinea]

A theme of Biden’s primetime address was the need to step back from the fierce rhetoric that has become commonplace in American politics.

“Yesterday’s shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania calls on all of us to take a step back, take stock of where we are, how we go forward from here,” Biden said, adding that he had spoken by phone with Trump, who was released shortly after being evaluated at a local hospital.

And while the president asked Americans on both sides of the political aisle to refrain from overheated attacks, he also made it clear that any acts of violence inspired by such words were unacceptable.

“There is no place in America for this kind of violence,” Biden said.

1. Ya think the GQP will listen?............................

the violent and hatred will be strong from the GQP.

[Think. Again.]

3. They'll keep trying...

...it's the only trick they have, but I bet the convention is going to feel very discouraging to a lot of people, whether they or the media are willing to admit that yet.

[Think. Again.]

2. I think even rightwingers are getting burned-out...

...of the high-energy, manic, craziness trump depends on to whip up his followers into their frenzy.

There will always be unbalanced people driven by bad brain chemistry, but for the most part, everyone is tired of trump.

Thomas Crooks was just saying "Enough Already!".

4. Well Joe. We didn't descend into violence. Had it been you those fuckers would be

popping Champaign corks for the next year. Stop playing their fucking game. This is what the republicans have made America into.

America likes this kind of violence. Doesn't matter for more than a day or so when children are slaughtered in schools.
