I have a feeling and a hope it won’t be one of his carefully staged people’s rally. I have a suspicion many of those directly affected by the horrific attack won’t look kindly at him. I sure as hell wouldn’t.

Hopefully the charming couple won’t each have on an "I don’t care, do you? jacket. They’re just that classy.

Since the murders interrupted a bris, maybe little dong should offer to participate in a do over.

Melania, don’t wear the 'I don’t care" coat. Too tacky even for you.

More than 35,000 people have signed an open letter to President Trump from the leaders of a Pittsburgh-based Jewish group who say the president will not be welcome in the city unless he denounces white nationalism and stops “targeting” minorities after a mass shooting Saturday at a local synagogue left 11 dead.

Nevertheless, the White House announced Trump would travel to Pittsburgh on Tuesday, ignoring the letter as well as a plea from Pittsburgh’s mayor that the president at least refrain from visiting “while we are burying the dead.” The first of the funerals for the 11 shooting victims is expected to take place Tuesday.

The open letter, which was published and shared on Sunday, was written by 11 members of the Pittsburgh affiliate of Bend the Arc, a national organization for progressive Jews focused on social justice, following what is being called the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history. The shooting at Tree of Life synagogue also left several people injured, including law enforcement.

“For the past three years your words and your policies have emboldened a growing white nationalist movement,” the Jewish leaders wrote. “You yourself called the murderer evil, but yesterday’s violence is the direct culmination of your influence."

“We don’t even have tariffs. I’m using tariffs to negotiate. Where do we have tariffs? We don’t have tariffs anywhere.”
— Toadglans von McMario-Kart, Oct. 24, 2018

We apologize for the delay. There has been difficulty shipping the hats due to arbitrarily imposed tariffs imposed on Chinese- and Mexican-made goods.

We are currently in negotiations to license the hats to Ivankatoinette Co. to avoid the burdensome duties without sacrificing the quality of the merchandise. Please bear with us.

“If the funerals aren’t all about me, why even have them?” Toadglans asked Pittsburg Mayor Bill Peduto.

Good for them! But when has the Oval Idiot ever listened to advice? He, of course, will make this about him. I hope people in Pittsburgh shun him big time.

“Do you?” was also part of that message.

Unfortunately, I think they truly don’t think people care about terrorizing immigrants/refugees and in part are correct. It wasn’t until images and audio surfaced that the public really responded. It was, after all, how trump opened his campaign and he got elected.

Here, the propaganda value is only in furtherance of inciting violence against news media. Despite Fox News and other RW media making an effort to inject it into their followers consciousness, Jewish people have not been dehumanized the way (brown) immigrants have been.

trump is really doing everything he can to radicalize his followers against news outlets much the way terrorist leaders do. I don’t think it’s about increasing turnout for midterms. It’s either laying the groundwork to contest Dem wins (something it’s already been reported they’re planning) or insulate himself from worse news coming regarding his crimes… or both.

I don’t mean to be a downer but the thing about the violence and violent rhetoric we’re seeing now that really chills me is that I didn’t think it’d come until after the midterms. In other words, things may get much worse than this past week.

He insist he will go even when leaders asked him not to come. My take those leaders should refuse to pay for any police escorts, etc siting other commitments. Then if they come anyway and demand city support demand payment upfront. Be sure the check clears prior to assigning anyone. For sure don’t pull people of downtime, etc for the sake of the Orange Ones ego. And ego is exactly what it is and will be.
