Pipe Bombs Sent to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and CNN Offices










Words matter.

Since he became the candidate for president, Trump has attacked all media, calling it "the enemy of the people."

Trump has allowed the mobs at his rallies to scream "LOCK HER UP!"  A suggestion to jail his opponent who won the popular vote. All of this behavior is the normal behavior of dictators in fascist countries.

Trump supporters don't care because they're racists and fascists themselves who love Trump and who call for the extermination of all Muslims, whom they refer to as "Moslem vermin."

None of this is normal.

The Republican's president is a liar, a cheat, a whoremonger, a sexual assaulter and harasser, a Nazi lover and a white nationalist. 

I never refer to him as "my president." He is the Gooper president who got into office with the help of a government hostile to the United States of America, Russia.

Trump is under investigation by the FBI, yet it is HE who continues to scream "LOCK HER UP!" at his bund rallies.

What will it take for America to open its eyes and understand what the hell has happened to America?]

Trump said there is no place in America that this should happen, but IT IS TRUMP AND HIS RALLY MOBS WHO SCREAM "LOCK HER UP!" AND IT IS TRUMP WHO HAS CONTINUALLY CALLED MEDIA "THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE."

Trump is a disgrace to the values and the idea of what America is all about. 






Gail Collins of the NYTimes:


"Terrible week. 

Donald Trump was on the road trying to rev up the country against a pitiful caravan of poor people struggling through Mexico. Meanwhile, there was a spate of bombing attempts directed at some of the president’s regular tirade targets, from Hillary Clinton to George Soros to CNN. The F.B.I. is working on the bombs. Trump has urged the country to unify, to which the country presumably replied, “Now you tell us?” 

 At his rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday night, Trump did have some early words for peace and harmony. Then he demanded that the media “set a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and often time false attacks.” 

You would think that for at least one evening he’d just mention the importance of a free press. Or even suggest that, say, body-slamming reporters is a bad thing. This is getting scarier and scarier. 

The president has been on a rally marathon in which he alternates between saying things that are meant to whip his audience into rage and things that are just wildly egocentric and imaginary. He’ll never improve. All we can do is hope he sticks to his less dangerous form of awfulness."

Trump's reaction to and his seeming spark of "togetherness" in his statement today, is hollow and fake. Trump is the cause of these attempted murders and in his deranged heart he is celebrating. Americans have less than two weeks to make up their minds and send a message. Decent Americans are waiting for sanity to return to our politics and reject the hate of Trump and Republicans.

The Republican president is squirrelly in the brain.
