> [@Locrian](#): > > Completely. Okay, add Fox News and Jones too. Listening to them plus any of Trump’s rallies “inspired” him. These are all the people that the orange turd gripes about. He probably has a list with all their names and addresses crossed off except for Baldwin and O’Donnell. He’s a psycho showing his devotion to his leader. They’ll just see it as evidence of a ‘Deeper State’. These are not people capable of deep reflection and insight, and they never, ever, “shut up”. Stranger ---

He is always wearing a wool cap over his ears, for some reason. 🙂 Not kidding about the politician. I recognized the name right away because of that. ---

I didn’t think I could laugh out loud about anything in this situation, but Jeff Sessions just said the suspect’s motives “appear to be partisan.” Gosh, Jeff. Ya think? At least he said it. As usual, it’s the very least they can do. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > The dude supports Trump, goes all in on the MAGA crap, attends rallies, believes all the anti-immgration, “liberals are evil”, “the media is all liars” stuff that Trump preaches daily on Twitter and at rallies and drove around in a van plastered with the same conservative garbage memes you see all over Facebook by other Trump supporters. > > I’d say he’s representative of today’s Republican in many, many ways. The Republicans are not responsible for the violent acts of one middle aged man. Trump is responsible for using inflammatory rhetoric in the hours after the attack, that vulnerable people will interpret as a green light. All preceding Presidents would have cancelled political rallies in the midst of terrorist attacks. TPM: Trump unleashed his opening salvo at a campaign rally in Wisconsin Wednesday night, saying that the media must “stop the endless hostility and constant negativity and oftentimes false attacks and stories” mere hours after an explosive was sent to CNN. Add to this his routine breaking of democratic norms by presiding over “Lock her up!” chants during his rallies (for what? Emails? Trump regularly uses his iPhone despite warnings from his staff that the Russians and Chinese are listening in.

The guy identifies as Filipino, Seminole (he owns two businesses called Native American and Proud Native American), and claimed to be a member of Blacks For Trump (but then, the Arkansas racist ad paid for by Blacks for Trump was funded by white millionaires). ---

You may not have chosen him to belong to your group but his actions have been clearly influenced by the rhetoric Trump has used to inflame his followers and the praise he has heaped upon devotees and Republican-affiliated geoups in general who have encouraged or engaged in violence. You can’t yell “Fire!”in a crowded theater and then insist that the subsequent stampede had nothing to do with your actions. > [@Aspenglow](#): > > I didn’t think I could laugh out loud about anything in this situation, but Jeff Sessions just said the suspect’s motives “appear to be partisan.” > > Gosh, Jeff.
