Trump Voter Kills 11 in Pittsburgh Synagogue

The media is falling all over itself to spread the GOP spin that Robert Bowers is not a Trump supporter. At some point Bowers felt Trump wasn't violent and anti-semitic enough for him, so he stopped supporting him. But make no mistake - Trump's message of hatred and division is at the center of this. Trump radicalized Bowers and hundreds of other like who now feel that their racial grievances have been legitimized.
Federal prosecutors have filed hate crime charges against a Pennsylvania man who authorities say stormed a Pittsburgh synagogue and opened fire, killing 11 people. Robert Bowers, 46, of suburban Baldwin, surrendered to authorities after Saturday morning's shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue. It's believed he made anti-Semitic statements during the shooting and targeted Jews in posts on social media that are a focus of the investigation, according to a federal law enforcement official.

Delaware GOP Silence on Political Violence is Deafening

As the highest ranking elected Republican official, Ken Simpler is the de facto leader of the Republican Party in Delaware. Simpler has a responsibility to Delaware that he is trying to avoid. His inability to address the Republican Party's problem with politically motivated violence reveals Simpler to be a contemptible low-life. His continuing silence is nothing but cowardice. Ken Simpler is so fearful of the the Delaware Republican base that he is utterly mute and pitifully retiring at a moment in history that calls for courage and moral clarity. He really is a disgusting piece of shit.

Trump & Biden on “Division”

In the vacuum of a "presidential" response to the bombing attacks, Biden stepped up. That isn't surprising. Biden enjoys his current role as America's adult. But let's have a conversation about what ending "this division, this hatred, this ugliness" means. Because if it means Democrats go back to being obsequious pussies who allow Republicans to run riot, in the hope that the GOP will eventually get tired of holding power - count me out. Trump:
“Well I think I’ve been toned down, if you want to know the truth. I could really tone it up because, as you know, the media’s been extremely unfair to me and the Republican Party,” Trump said hours after the FBI arrested a suspect in connection to the mailed pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats and CNN this week.
Biden:
"This division, this hatred, this ugliness — it has to end," Biden said at the university. "Words matter." "I've never, ever, ever looked at a political opponent as an enemy. They are an opponent in a contest of ideas, but not an enemy. "We are Americans before we are Democrats or Republicans or independents."
