Coast Guard Lieutenant Charged With Planning Mass Terror Attack

"enemy of the people" to describe any mainstream press that takes an adversarial position to Trump and his policies is a perfect example of his autocratic tendencies. As luck would have it he isn't a dictator but it would seem that he wishes he was or at least that is the impression he gives me.

His phony national emergency being another prime example of the sort of thing you would more expect to see in a banana republic.

I was red g jacks. Formerly reggie_jax. That was years ago though. What makes you say I'm clearly not new though?

I remember you, I was Whirly.

I remember people talking about whirly but I don't remember you posting

I recall the Reg G Jacks name.

You seem too familiar to be a fresh member, so I figured you were a previous poster returned

Nothing new under the sun I guess.

Welcome back though. Good to have more voices in here.

I don't directly blame Trump but his rhetoric often seems to attract these sorts of nut jobs... This isn't the first time we've seen this sort of incident from among his base even in recent history... At a certain point basic pattern recognition should kick in.

No, he's not to blame for this no more than democrats are for Steve Scalise. Or Republicans getting sent cyanide. Seems like a couple times, what'd you say about a pattern bro?

“This is to distract from Jessie Smolleet”

Same way people in this thread that one is being used to distract from this.

Y’all are mental, honestly mental.

This pile of crap needs to face jail and worse as does Nooseman

Never got a response to this.

Not familiar with the cases you are mentioning tbh but I would not be reluctant to admit the left has their own brand of crazy as well.

Every form of rhetoric has extremists who twist it to commit horrific acts. Saying Trump's rhetoric attracts nut jobs like this is like saying Democrats' rhetoric attracts nut jobs like Micah Xavier Johnson.

Yes but I feel like I would be hard pressed to come up with an example of a president whose rhetoric was as severely polarizing and with as many autocratic overtones as Trump. I'm not saying he invented this type of rhetoric.. he's just dialed it up a few notches to the point where like I said he often speaks more like the leader of a banana republic than an American president.

Is it really so crazy that this guy was googling things about civil war? In a lot of ways we are showing some of the symptoms of possibly heading in that sort of direction

My point is if you wanted you could paint a pattern with either side if you really wanted to, but it will get you nowhere.

That is where we are now though with each tragedy, which side is to blame.

If he'd managed to carry this out and it was because of the shutdown affecting the operational ability of the FBI can you imagine the blame shitstorm.

You're right. He's not really fit to be president. So I guess the question is simple: Which political party set him up to be a piper candidate, and then lost the election because their candidate was so bad that Trump beat her with less votes than Mitt Romney got in 2012? If we are going to talk about who is trying to incite a civil war, maybe we should look at that political party. Maybe....

Which party did not have the proper checks and balances in place to prevent such an unfit candidate to win the nomination, and why do their voters see someone obviously unfit, and pull the lever for him anyway?
