So all three of you are okay with the insults to continue. Noted LOL.
To be clear, I hate it when politicians go low. And sadly a lot of politicians go low. I hate the personal attacks by all elected officials and wish they wouldn't do it.
It's one thing for us private citizens to go back and forth on here on City-Data, it's the internet. But for elected officials, to include the President of our nation, attacking people personally because they don't agree on things doesn't help anything.
If Trump doesn't like Waters, Obama, Clinton, Holder, etc, can he not just keep it political and professional and talk about how he disagrees with their opinions and policies? Why does he always have to insult people?
His base eats it up.
The Pocahontas routine has gotten really old.
No shortage of reasons to like or dislike her based on her positions.
If a right winger did this, the bombs would have detonated. They grew up with guns and blew things up for fun. They know how to make an explosive.
The fact that the person that "found" the one in soros' mailbox, took it inside, opened it, picked it up, carried it to the back of the property, and put it down, then called police to report the "bomb" tells you they knew it wouldnt explode.
So soros, is somehow involved.
None were processed through post office...no stamp markings. Real bombers dont mail them in manila envelopes.
The cnn photo proves they knew it wouldnt detonate...no one finds a bomb, puts it on the table next to the envelope it came in, and takes photos...next to a container of clorox wipes, to remove fingerprints..
This could very well be another hoax. Cases where the right were accused of "crimes" ultimately found to be hoaxes perpetrated by the left, are legion.
In any event, someone is following the left's call to fight, get in people's faces, and not be civil.
No one makes that many bombs..that are handled and set there that long....and not even one goes off
Odds are, at least one should have gone off accidentally or at the wrong time
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.
