Lovely to see so many good for you governor comments here. Especially on a day when Trump is mindlessly calling for the arrest of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

She’s right. Trump is a terrorist and as complicit in this instance as he has been in multiple others. The only thing protecting him is the GOP won’t let one of their own pay for the crimes he’s committed against individuals and the country at large.

OT; Joe in on right now defending Kamala from being called a monster by donnie. Saying how proud is of her and saying “He’s afraid of strong women.”

Nope. Putin’s investment is paying off very handsomely right now. Least expensive destruction of a major power ever.

So these are the mobs Trump said would victimise suburban women. BTW, I haven’t received any fundraising emails from Antifa yet.

She’s preaching to the choir. Trump is one of them. The dog-whistling and signaling has been nonstop since 2015, and even before that.

I believe he’s full-blown White Supremacist, and a White Nationalist. Which by default makes you a racist.

Can’t wait to leave the guy in our collective rear view mirror… preferably sitting in a lifetime cell at Riker’s.

There are two things Michigan can do right now. 1 - Enforce the anti-private militia law they have on the books and 2) Pass a damn law prohibiting guns within their legislature. If they can prohibits signs, they can prohibit guns.

Oddly not covered at TPM. I thought that was kind of newsworthy.

Frankly we should liberate our country from Trump and Trumpism. It is a deadly, malignant contagion.

Fox did a lot more damage than Putin. I’d wager Murdoch and Co are more than happy to let Vlad take the blame.

I was reading about how many of the Hasidic communities listen to hate radio and like Trump. A congressperson who represents them said it was like having a ruby red community in the middle of a blue sea.

And someone will bring negligent homicide charges, I’m sure.

What a totally frightening story that fortunately was stopped.
It is absolutely in direct response to the idiot in chief and I’m so glad, finally more people are calling him out.

True, but I didn’t say Putin was the sole investor or even majority investor. But he was an investor, and he has gotten out of it more than he could have hoped for in his wildest dreams.

Adam Fox allegedly sought to recruit members of a right-wing militia group known as the Wolverine Watchmen, according to federal law enforcement.

Adam, Adam you don’t mix DC’s characters with Marvel’s characters. Fuckin’,poseur.

They talk of the “radical left”. It’s about time we called them the “treasonous terrorists”.

These MAGAts are like a bizarre cocktail of comic books, military cosplay and trailer parks. It can’t affect the mind well.

This October is sure packing in the surprises…at this rate we’ll be in a major war throwing nukes on October 30th.

A plot to kidnap and assassinate a governor…I mean, that really seems unbelievable just reading it, and yet it’s totally believable because of the right wing hate groups that hav been encouraged by Trump and Republicans. And not just since 2015, these same groups were engaged to stand in the way of Obama before he was elected. The worry is how far they will take it…will this stop any other groups, or will they ramp up plans in hte hopes of taking out as many Democratic leaders as possible? Security around Democrats needs to be tightened, especially around people Trump has named as enemies…they really may be in danger right now.
