The cowardice of those in power is disgusting. There are Republicans who are outraged at what has happened.

Republicans in power need to find their moral compass and condemn the toxic environment that has been caused by Trump. How is this President allowed to get away with so much crap. The bar has been lowered so far that those in power are swimming in the sea of toxicity with Trump. They are complicit.
Most Republicans are not condoning this and in the news that I consume which is varied and I will not give a fucking list of what I consume, there is a definite need for someone to show strength to power and condemn not only the bomber but the President's behavior.
His van is Trump's twitter feed. And if someone wants to go the false flag route - this guy has a timeline, he was not created by liberals. It is offensive. This person wanted to kill people. Wake up!0 -

How we correct this type of crap is what needs to be focused on and our current POtuS needs to be heavily hammered on for his role in advocating for the divisive and violent response to liberals and dems.
Its not about him, its about the leaders of his political beliefs (as he is clearly a maga man) and their inability to grasp that everyone can hear their words of hatred, even the crazy people. Its not just trump, they used words of personal hatred against obama in 2008.
This is the EXACT reason nobody, especially elected leaders, should vilify any group of people.
To make derogatory comments about liberals, calling them socialists, calling their leader a Kenyan, is playing with fire. Not because it hurts obamas feeling, but because of the deep hatred it sows republican brains.
This is not the same as Basket of deplorables because that was an isolated incident and not drummed up by a propaganda cable network and an entire group of people year after year. Hilary does not and never did speak for me or the liberal community

There are many Republicans who are not in power at the moment, who are in media or who I know that have been outraged by this President from the beginning and many of them have given up their political affiliation. There are also ones in the media and in power who have not spoken up and fallen in line - that is exactly what I wrote in my post. Those people infuriate me.

That seems like a rosy view. It seems that Trump did not become a Republican but the GOP became Trump. I know some some conservatives who don't like Trump, too, but when you look at the party going all-in on this, it's hard to imagine that a critical mass is outraged by this when nobody in power dare question him (which indicates that they know the GOP voters will not stand for such behavior).njnancy said:

Law enforcement cannot begin an investigation with the ends in mind. They have to follow the evidence where it takes them. They can't say this guy is definitely a Trump supporter so that's who we are looking for. They need to leave all options open. Nothing wrong with waiting for law enforcement to catch the real bomber before we have a profile of him that we've assumed. The false flag bullshit continues on the alt right and even into mainstream conservative media. The van is staged, blah, blah, blah. Turns out that he is a Maga asshole. Now that doesn't mean that a separate conversation about how toxic the President's speech is and how it can attract losers like this that find purpose in hate. The President's divisiveness is relevant no matter what; now we see that it did indeed create a monster. Before he was found the first part of that statement was true no matter who they found to be the bomber.OnWis97 said:

I find nothing rosy about what is going on in our country. I don't know why you are disagreeing with me when we are in agreement. I will not vilify every person who is or has been a Republican though. Trump has taken over the party and it is his cult now and there is a lot of cowardice in a lot of Republicans. We disagree on one simple thing - not every Republican is complicit. Two of the people who were targeted are/were Republicans who have opposed Trump. So there's 2, at least.OnWis97 said:

Its irrelevant what the "nice republicans" are saying. They knew trump was using hatred to divide america and build loyalty in his base and they did not speak up in protest.
In fact, every single one of them fell in line.
And the FBI and police departments and postal workers of this country need a serious thank you from all of us. The President won't give it to them but they deserve praise for doing a great job while being vilified.
This party is all-in (or at least 90% in). It's his party. And it remains the only party that matters at this point.0 -

That seems like a rosy view. It seems that Trump did not become a Republican but the GOP became Trump. I know some some conservatives who don't like Trump, too, but when you look at the party going all-in on this, it's hard to imagine that a critical mass is outraged by this when nobody in power dare question him (which indicates that they know the GOP voters will not stand for such behavior).njnancy said:
There are many Republicans who are not in power at the moment, who are in media or who I know that have been outraged by this President from the beginning and many of them have given up their political affiliation. There are also ones in the media and in power who have not spoken up and fallen in line - that is exactly what I wrote in my post. Those people infuriate me. But there are many ex-Repubs that have been battling this President from the get go. So let's call out the people who should be called out.Lerxst1992 said:njnancy said:
The cowardice of those in power is disgusting. There are Republicans who are outraged at what has happened. But the alt right with their false flag bullshit, which the President implied in his tweet today about the 'bombs' interrupting how well voting was going - he was told yesterday who was arrested and what his persuasion is. That is simply irresponsible. There will never be any Presidential call for everyone to step back and take a breath and be civil in our debate because he is the one who is stirring the toxic pot of stew that causes nut jobs to try to assassinate people.Bentleyspop said:
Keep in mind that the troll-in-chief has to share the blame for this with every single supporter, believer, and advisor.

Republicans in power need to find their moral compass and condemn the toxic environment that has been caused by Trump. How is this President allowed to get away with so much crap. The bar has been lowered so far that those in power are swimming in the sea of toxicity with Trump. They are complicit.
**Most Republicans are not condoning this** and in the news that I consume which is varied and I will not give a fucking list of what I consume, there is a definite need for someone to show strength to power and condemn not only the bomber but the President's behavior.
His van is Trump's twitter feed. And if someone wants to go the false flag route - this guy has a timeline, he was not created by liberals. It is offensive. This person wanted to kill people. Wake up!

My gut tells me that the repubs' own internal polling showed that he was the only one who could beat Hillary out of the field of 19. However, it was so close, within the margin of error, that they couldn't take any chances, hence the knowing collusion with putin on the ritz. Once their internal polling showed them that this was their only chance to win and prevent Hillary from occupying the White House, they basically stepped aside. Do you really think none of the other candidates' campaigns didn't have opposition research showing what we all now know? Doesn't it seem oddly suspicious that none of them came after him for his failures, both personally and in the business world? It was a wink- wink, nod-nod marriage of convenience, never fully realizing what they'd done. But since we're here, hey, tax breaks for the wealthy and conservative judges all-around. They sold their souls and the chickens are coming home to roost. Going to have build a pretty large chicken coop too after Team Mueller is done gather up all those chickens.
