Why? We elected Trump; so why should we treat his cabinet like garbage instead of working with them? If you have a problem with CIA policy, why not contact Gina Haspel's office instead of throwing poop at her while she's having dinner with her family? Why is politically violent rhetoric ok for Maxine but not for Trump?

People have a right to speak their minds. "Tell them they're not welcome" is not violent rhetoric.

They were concerned enough that they didn't want to be out in public. CBS
News thought it was worthy enough of mention again during election coverage
on Tuesday.

Jeff T, OTOH, thinks it is not worthy of mention cause, you know, it makes
his side look bad.

It would be ignorant and misleading to say "conservatives are committ political violence," while the truth seems to be that "mentally ill people are committing political violence."

Would it be reasonable to conclude that mentally-ill conservatives are committing political violence?

Yes, I agree with that conclusion.

Ooh, "tell them they're not welcome." That sounds sooo violent.

The George Floyd Riots of 2020 weren't supposed to be violent, but they devolved into it.

People have a right to speak their minds. "Tell them they're not
welcome" is not violent rhetoric.

Telling people who live in DC that they're not welcome in DC *IS* violent.

Same thing with the Muslim attacks in the southwest. When it was initially thought to be a "conservative" attacking them, it was all over the news. Once it was found out to be a fellow Muslim, and that the victims were not so random, it faded away.

Republicans should have a "campaign" against fake news and propaganda, but
they have no ambition. I doubt that a single person at any RNC office has accepted the reality that we need to improve our media infrastructure; they just keep going with the faulty logic of "Democrats do bad stuff so voters will vote for us." That, and they continue to only try to appeal to their own base; it's time to be a bit liberal on some issues to steal some moderates, and to stick it to the media.

I think that implies that the liberals are mentally ill (well, it's not really an implication since they are).

The people who are targets of that "fake news" are not going to believe the reality when it is told to them, and vice-versa.

You're right about that. There's no convincing anyone of much. People get disproportionately attached to the Democrat party for irrational reasons, but then again, they'll say those same words back at me.

Hello Aaron,

It would be ignorant and misleading to say "conservatives are

political violence," while the truth seems to be that "mentally

Would it be reasonable to conclude that mentally-ill conservatives

committing political violence?

Yes, I agree with that conclusion.

Yes, Donald J. Trump is nuts. Even his niece, Mary Trump (a clinical psychologist) recognizes that. She even wrote a book about it.

I have nieces. They don't know jack about me. They can write a book about me
if they want, but it won't be very accurate.

Why fight Trump when he is the best thing for the Democratic Party?

That may be. But Donald Trump's niece is different, as she has
a certificate to prove it. And that makes Donald Trump certifiably
nuts.

To know so much about Trump, and not be a Trump fan, there's a word for that. An acronym actually! ;)
