I have to give you that. I guess we're even. Except I don't know of any other president who gets up at rallies and foments hatred and violence. "He's my guy" while he lauds body slamming a journalist. Pictures of a CNN bus running over Clinton. I mean, really, what mentally stable grown man, let alone the leader of the free world does that?
It wouldn't play for me. Can you tell me the gist?
It's an apples and oranges comparison, and here I'm not sure who on this thread is an apple and who an orange.
The tweeter is objecting to a correlation between Trump's rhetoric with the today's attack. Pelosi basically agrees - calling out Republicans who appeared (their exact assertions aren't on the clip) to blame Democrats for the Steve Scalise shooting.
There is a difference between making any one entity (or person) directly responsible and addressing whether there is some point where political hyperbole is irresponsible - if only because it inflames to where the political divide is problematic for the country as a whole.
I don't know what the individual Republicans said (so cannot assess Pelosi's response as reasonable or not) ... just like I'm not sure how various posters have addressed this. Your comment certainly did not make a direct correlation.
What sets an unstable individual off isn't always clear. Certainly there is a copycat phenomena with a desire for acclaim, like what we've seen with many of the school shootings. Many, but not all political attacks involve a certain level of psychological instability.
Some may appear stable and are only motivated by religious fervor - that might be said of the 911 attackers. Someone like Timothy McVeigh who on the surface seemed normal? There can well be an intersection of multiple factors: underlying psychological vulnerabilities ... maybe a fascination with guns ... followed by an adoption of some extremist cause, perhaps in an effort to belong. They may be lone wolves or open to manipulation. Sure they may be suggestible. It's complex.
The right has brought this about with all its hate. They basically hate anyone that doesn't look like them (a straight white person) and despise all that do not think like them. They have no openess to anything different from themselves.
That's absolute nonsense. You can keep calling anyone who disagrees with you a racist, sexist, blah, blah, blah, but I guarantee you will keep losing elections if you do.
I think you mean that pipe bombs were sent TO her office. At least that's what the mainstream media is saying.
Nope. They weren't sent to her office. It was the return address. I think the CNN one was return to sender. Of course SHE didn't do it. That's ridiculous.
"Try and make republicans look bad?" You're chitting us riiiggght? No effort is required.

Hmmm, with your favorite Orange Marauder having a higher approval rating than even King O had, I'd doubt they look bad to most people. So, keep up the wishful thinking. You'll need it after the elections.
Yep! Leftists realize they REALLY screwed up with the Kavanaugh hearings and now the invasion from Central America.
So you're saying that "the leftists" (all of them, apparently) decided to send bombs to Democrats to take some of the heat off from the Kavanaugh hearings when any rational thinking person has to know they will probably be caught? Like Bill, Hillary and Barack are so stupid they don't think this will come back on whoever made the bombs?
Along that line of thinking, who would benefit from all the hoopla about the immigrant caravan? Hmmm, could that have been set up and financed by the Republicans?
We probably shouldn't jump to conclusions. You know, we should wait until Trump tells us what to believe.
