    And what I believe is the first attempted legal defense of Trump supporters directly blaming Trump's rhetoric for their actions.

    2018, folks. 2018.
    Obviously LiBrUlZ false flag!

    This line just hit a nerve for me because right now for the rank and file of the government workers we are in terrible terrible shape. We had 6 retirements of my team of 24 the past year because they are tired of dealing with the new policies implemented on the rank and file government workers. Now that we don't get a raise we can't even hire anyone to come in the door because the job is so unappealing right now because of Trump. Right now in the DOD there is significant brain drain as since Trump become president I got promoted twice because there was no other option (Being 31 and being a GS-13 doesn't seem right but i'll take the pay).

    Sorry for my ramble but not only did Trump break the top part of the government executives but he broke the lower level rung and its greatly stressing us out as we can't get our work completed (for example we just did an audit with 3 people that generally would have a team of 8).

    Trump admin will apparently not renew program to fight domestic terror

    WASHINGTON — The Trump administration, which already canceled a grant for a group that fights white supremacist terror, now appears unwilling to renew the anti-domestic terror program under which it was funded, despite recent high-profile attacks like the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and data showing a spike in attacks on religious minorities.

    The Obama administration launched the Countering Violent Extremism Grant Program in 2016 to fight domestic terrorism. Managed by the Department of Homeland Security, the program was given $10 million to distribute.

    In the last days of the Obama administration, DHS awarded the money to more than two dozen groups around the country to counter violent extremism of all kinds, including right-wing extremism. Data from the Global Terrorism Database shows there was a spike in attacks on American religious organizations in 2016-17.
    Because there will probably still be people saying that Trump doesn't defend white supremacists. Domestic terror from largely white supremacist nutjobs that's shockingly common? A-OK! The potential for attacks from brown people from abroad that's very uncommon? MAJOR THREAT!

    In case the racism wasn't on the nose enough already.

    And in, "We're totally not being antisemitic"



    This is a campaign mailer sent out attacking Jewish Democrat Matt Lesser on behalf of Republican Ed Charamut in Connecticut.

    Could it be about taxes? Sure. Are there a million other ways to have a visual of that that don't conjure up stereotypes about Jews? You bet. Should Charamut have rethought this mailer after the shooting last week? Damn straight.

    Why should Charamut have rethought anything? This says EXACTLY what he wanted it to. EXACTLY.

    All members of the current right are racist, sexist bigots, unless they distance themselves from all that is going on. The grace period is over. Denounce Trump or you're complicit.

    And right wing domestic terrorists that were plotting to bomb Somali refugees are actively using Trump's rhetoric in part of their legal defense.

    I can't help but wonder if Trump is doing that completely out of anger and spite, seeing how badly he was received in Pittsburgh?

    That, and Obama being behind the program.

    So Trump just tweeted, for a second time that the Republicans will defend the healthcare rights of people with pre-existing conditions better than Democrats

    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...55675080314880

    Seriously? Wasn't it last year the Republicans were ready to strip healthcare away from millions?

    Wonder what Trumpkins excuse will be for this, especially when we have a group saying they did it because of what Trump says.

    Did no person in that office, committee, or whatever go "Hey.....uh, this may not be a good idea."?

    Last year? They're ready to do that very thing every month, if given the chance.

    Kellyanne finally figured out who to blame for the Pittsburgh shooting...late night TV hosts.

    Not the rise of right wing conspiracy theories. Not the normalization of hate by Trump. But late night TV hosts.

    Donald Trump is in a heated argument with himself? Must be a day that ends with "y".

    And Kellyanne's husband also figured out who is to blame. He thinks it is Trump. They must have a weird marriage. Or more likely they both treat this all like it is a big game with no actual consequences, like being married to a fan of a rival football team.
