You mean those #MAGA hat wearing Trump-lovers are actually dangerous?

As I commented before, this is a foreseeable consequence and the manifest intent of stochastic terrorists like Lahren, Coulter, Hannity, et al and the statistics on mass murder strongly support that conclusion.

And what if we include attempts to assassinate essentially the entire Democratic leadership?

Has the MAGA bomber faded so quickly from our memory?

In 2009, the Obama administration released a Rightwing Extremism report that was called the “most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.”

Conservatives went crazy. House Leader John Boehner even attacked Sec of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano for releasing the report.

Trump has poured gas on the rightwing extremist fire. The ADL report is just yet another of many.

Why ever would right wing extremists feel validated and empowered in this day and age? I just can’t imagine what it might be…

In 3, 2, 1 there the left goes once again trying to lump the many fine good folks on the right as racists, killers, etc.

Shocked? Stunned? Surprised? Whatever are the words I am looking for to describe the ADL report? Oh, yes! “No shit, Sherlock!”

I guess a wall is not going to keep the natives (and “nativists”) out of the country. More fail, Mr. president*.

It’s almost as if The Trump Effect™ is real. Almost.

Point taken. But this was about deaths only.

I’m still waiting for our dysfunctional “judiciary” to indict Trump for felony “Incitement to Riot”, long overdue, not surprisingly. It’ll never happen, sorry to say for all of us.

This report gives ETTD a hideously new meaning.

Initiated and completed mostly during the administration of Bush the Lesser.
Always like to make sure that point is included.
It was no, what’s the term…witch hunt?

You can build a wall or institute a travel ban or deport law abiding citizens from foreign countries, but the terrorists are already here…because they were born here. I’ll say it again…immigrants commit fewer crimes per capita than the native born.

I forget.

Right-wing. Are those Democrats or Republicans?

Two questions:

  1. Why would the DHS report be less reliable with data from the earlier administration?
  2. What sources explain how the report was “inflated”?
