Bc by saying that he admits he's a fascist dictator and its time to arrest this guy. Protestors charged w terrorist acts arent petty misdemeanors.

Is this urging the "right" to get ready for violence?
Is this urging violence on the "left" because Trump feels that Democrats incite violence?

What the hell is he saying to ...evangelicals...?

If Trump is inciting violence he needs to be locked up NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Republicans have quietly imposed a new tax on churches, synagogues and other nonprofits, a little-noticed and surprising change that could cost some groups tens of thousands of dollars.

Their recent tax-code rewrite requires churches, hospitals, colleges, orchestras and other historically tax-exempt organizations to begin paying a 21 percent tax on some types of fringe benefits they provide their employees.

...but I bet “the right churches” are granted waivers or something

Anyway, fuck the lot of ya, each and every one

He said Antifa would instigate violence.

"They will end everything immediately,” he said, apparently referring to Democrats. He added, again without being clear whom he was talking about: “They will overturn everything that we’ve done and they’ll do it quickly and violently. And violently. There’s violence. When you look at Antifa, and you look at some of these groups, these are violent people.”

Just like most everything he says. I'm just saying the quote in the NYT doesn't indicate that violence would come from the right. Antifa is most definitely not the right.

They're not the left either, but he does love to talk about them.

Trump is signaling to his supporters that they need to be ready to strike first when the Republicans lose the midterms. You know, for self protection.

anti-good. It happens like a defective unit in a decent number of properly made/functioning ones. * gave in to/gave place to evil, coupled with a pathology, and this is the result.

* is an abomination, but not what God created. God creates in His image, not likeness. The likeness comes from the creation choosing good over evil.

Awaiting the day of reckoning/derailment.
