I blame Trump for a large part of it. His hateful, bigoted speeches and tweets hive riled up the bigots in his cult. I also blame Fox News and other right wing outlets.
Their influence was clear in the recent bomb mailings and synagogue mass murder. And no, the answer is not more people with guns.
I expect CNN to win their lawsuit over the White House’s taking of Jim Acosta’s hard pass. CNN is being supported by other news organizations, even Fox News. Also, the White House is changing their story – their response said nothing about their allegation that Acosta hit the press aide.
The White House doesn’t get to choose which media members cover them. It’s that simple.
In their effort to be even-handed, CNN asked voters about extremist violence without pointing out that the great bulk of it is by right-wing extremists. Left wing extremists attack Tucker Carlson’s house. Right wing extremists kill people (such as the recent killings in Pittsburgh and Kentucky and the bombs).
I understand that they want to be fair but this is very misleading. The screen print above is from my iPhone.
This one included them. I guess it was later.
still more good comments
There are still undecided races.
It reminds me of a Saturday Night Live parody but it’s real.
The real problems are Republican voter suppression and (mostly Republican) gerrymandering. It’s amazing that Trump and Florida Republicans are claiming fraud in elections they are leading!
This disgusting spectacle will reduce public confidence in election results…which may be their goal.
Russia is helping the Republicans
Most Democrats don’t want to abolish ICE but do want to reform it.
