...and halted immediately.
If Trump wasn't president, if he was an average Joe or Jill, he'd be detained, questioned, threatened with arrest if he continued to incite violence against individuals.
Trump actively fomenting violence against his political opponents, critics, and their supporters places our party membership and our party leadership in a precarious position of vulnerability to attack by any one of his rabid followers. He's scheduled for even more of his 'rallies' where he stirs up his already violent rabble against Democrats with incendiary lies and 'meddlesome priest' appeals that are pushing people to violent acts.
What's happened to America that we're allowing this spoiled, bad-seed, man-child to bully the nation from our own offices of government with impunity? Is there no fucking authority in the nation with the power to muzzle this terrorist-enabling thug?

(7,725 posts)the world. Those things took centuries and lots of blood and treasure. The gop is American rot. The ugly UnAmericans. They are losing friends of ours and blowing up the treasury. They 'govern' by insults and lies and none of any of that is an exaggeration. It's not political grandstanding or going overboard. That's just a threshold of where we are now.
Not acceptable at all. Glad to see Law Enforcement hasn't taken the 'bait' that trum and his people "love the law enforcement". Lots of LEOS were veterans, hopefully they harken back to the jungles and sands and remember how much they were going to give up for their country, and what a mockery this group has made of it. While the world turns and burns out of equilibrium.

(85,998 posts)...the only reason I can think of why he might not have been questioned (talked to) is that they may have been waiting for his responses.
Now that he's doubling down on his attacks on some of the very targets of this bomber, it would seem to be the time for a serious intervention.
