    That is possibly the stupidest response ever posted here.

    His manifesto read like a recitation of the opening hour of the Mark Levin, Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh show. It is no mystery where this sick scumbag got all of his ideas.

    Betts was a huge fan of Warren. But who would hate a Cherokee woman eh?

    I truly am constantly amused by the constant whining from the far left wing element.

    Evidently he did not subscribe to Warren’s views regarding gun control.

    With all due respect Robert, Trump is by far the biggest whiner in US political history. Nixon is a distant second. You’ve been around a while. Have you ever heard anyone cry about the press anywhere near the way Trump has for over two years? Dick Nixon May have done it in private, Cheney and Bush got caught on an open mic a couple times. But this guy who was helped greatly by the main stream press to win is now constantly crying about them picking on him. That’s not very manly in my book.

    Apparently all you read is the excerpts you got from CNN He disliked them not because of the color of their skin but because he thought they'd screwed up the environment where they lived and were going to do the same thing when they got here. It had nothing to do with race and everything to do with environmentalist BS. He wasn't a white supremacist he was an eco fascist, a Mathusianist who thought it was time to thin the herd

    No, I was not. Read the OP again that pertains to Betts. When I first heard about it, I was skeptical because only Trump friendly sources were making such a claim. That has changed. Apparently, Betts was a leftist extremists.

    So, only 25 people were killed by white supremacists who were encouraged by the President's inflammatory statements concerning immigrants. Betts was just a copycat killer as I have shown, post 121.

    After I posted another link, you asked if we had anything but a conservative link.
    Betts would not have been able to round up the weaponry he had after El Paso and several of his classmates were worried about him. You haven't "shown" anything. Just speculation that fits with what you already believed.

    “In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy,” Trump said Monday.

    “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” he said on the day he announced his Presidential campaign in 2015, saying some of those crossing the border were “rapists.”

    “How do you stop these people? You can’t,” Trump said at a May 2019 rally in Panama City Beach, Fla.

    One of Trump’s ugliest rants about immigrants took place in February in El Paso, where in an almost hypnotic fashion he brought up undocumented immigrants and said, “Murders, murders, murders. Killings, murders!” His fans responded by breaking out in “build the wall!” chants.

    The manifesto the El Paso shooter left behind begins by describing his attack as “a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

    No doubt about it, just about the dumbest thing Trump can do is go to El Paso. What is he going to do? Be the comforter-in-chief? With his inflammatory rhetoric, what a joke that is. The smart thing to do would be to hunker down, say little and let things blow over, and not go to El Paso and Dayton. The media has made sure that everyone in the country knows what Trump has said.

    But that isn't Trump. He always doubles down and blames others for his faults. He always doubles down, which is equivalent to making things worse, even if it is the dumbest possible thing he could do.

    Trump defended his anti-immigration rhetoric on Wednesday, saying it was uniting the country. "It brings people together," Trump said of his language. "Our country is doing incredibly well."

    Good Lord, our President lives in his own little world. Not even his gullible base is stupid enough to believe that statement.

    Trump did not allow the press to accompany him to Dayton and El Paso, and ABC reports Trump is staying out the public eye. For a President who adores the cameras, who has a manic desire to be the center of attention, that was extremely odd.

    The White House explained that Trump didn't want this to become a photo op. That is ludicrous. No matter how foolish, no matter how embarrassing, Trump has never avoided the limelight before. For example, the Neville Chamberlain-like visit to North Korea to chat with the communist dictator of that nation.

    The truth is, the whole nation knows what he has said in the past. The truth is, while seeing the victims of hate rhetoric, Trump had no desire to face the cameras and answer questions from the press corps.

    He did before he left for Dayton and made an absolute fool of himself several times.

    I have said this many times before. Trump's main enemy is Trump. He just can't keep his mouth shut.

    I have to admit I have fallen in love. My new love is Nan Whaley, the mayor of Dayton. This beautiful woman is no politician. She is truthful and she gets right to the point. She is from the Midwest (I'm from Minnesota) and people from the Midwest tell it like is. They don't beat around the bush.

    Asked how her conversation concerning gun control went with Trump, she said bluntly, "He uses words that have no meaning."

    You gotta love that.

    Unfortunately, Nan is going nowhere in her career. She is far too honest and straightforward to be a politician.

    On his way from Dayton to El Paso, Trump tweeted this about Mayor Whaley, "Then I saw failed Presidential Candidate (0%) Sherrod Brown & Mayor Whaley totally misrepresenting what took place inside of the hospital."

    Regarding Nan, no one knows what he is talking about.

    No good deed goes unpunished.

    I don't know. Why would you? Explain it to me.

    Because, in your way, you are defending Trump. You are nitpicking at nearly everything I say.

    So, tell me, why are you defending Trump and his malicious rhetoric?

    Stupid people usually run in groups. The larger the better so they can reinforce their own stupidity.

    I speak up when I disagree with you, which is often.

    An interesting spin. Not a mention of the berserker response to Trump's run for Prez, of course. The clear evidence of a terrible TERRIBLE swing towards unhinged tribalism.

    And gee whiz .. I wonder who was responsible for that.

    Robert only remembers the good things about Trump.

    Unfortunately, he can't find. So, he never defends Trump. Instead, he always goes after those who accurately record what Trump says and does.

    You didn't answer the question.

    Also, you never challenge my work. You either ask questions I have already answered or you ask questions about something I never covered. I am not Google.

    Please answer my question.

    Why? I seldom require you to answer questions. You don't have to answer.
