List of Democrats targeted at link.

[MrsCoffee]

1. Scarborough is a Republican.

Even though he now identifies as Independent. He is not a Democrat.

Trump supporters are dangerous idiots.

[quickesst]

3. He is no longer a Republican

Yeah, how dare that guy include Scarborough with Democrats he targeted for death.

[MrsCoffee]

5. He also isn't a Democrat.

Not sure why it would bother anyone to point that out the stupidity of a Trump supporter.

[quickesst]

6. What does pointing out....

.... the stupidity of a trump supporter, which everyone here knows, have to do with Scarborough, who is definitely anti Trump, not being a Democrat?

[MrsCoffee]

9. Oh good lord.

The freaking article stated he was targeting Democrats. I commented Scarborough isn’t a Dem. Be sure to jump on anyone who mentions that for crying out loud.

[quickesst]

15. Hahaha

"Not sure why it would bother anyone to point that out the stupidity of a Trump supporter."

Not what I responded to and doesn't bother me at all. I agree with your assertion about the stupidity of a trump supporter.


"Scarborough is a Republican"

This is what I responded to, and I thought I was rather civil in my response. I apologize if you were offended.

41. Shades of "PizzaGate"..........

Another dummy being led by the nose...

2. Facebook just banned me for 3 days for posting this story

and an excerpt of his quotes.

Be careful they are trying to keep this under wraps.

[quickesst]

4. They're just now reporting it...

.... On Morning Joe.

[EndGOPPropaganda]

10. But but Republicans say Facebook is biased against them!!!

Is Ted Cruz lying about Facebook’s bias??

[IronLionZion]

14. They are in denial of white terrorism

I posted the article on facebook without any comments or quotes. Don't give them an excuse.

[Boomerproud]

7. Do you think the Twitterer In Chief will chime in?

I would bet the house the answer is nada.

[quickesst]

11. I think you are right....

.... although I would bet they are scrambling like crazy trying to figure out how to frame this when he can no longer avoid it.

[Vinca]

8. The scary part is he's only 1 Trump nut ready to slaughter for the cause.

How many more are out there and is there an organized plan of any sort?

[quickesst]

13. Far-fetched as it sounds....

.... I wonder how many are out there who would be willing to kill their mothers, father's, brothers, sisters and children because they are Democrats. Scary.

[leftynyc]

12. Are we sure he was "working" alone? (n/t)

[quickesst]

16. Maybe or maybe not...

.... but I feel in this case, comfortable jumping the gun and stating that I believe he is part of a group(s), and depends upon said group(s) support for inspiration, and maybe assistance.

[magicarpet]

17. Fascists go'in to be Nazis....

The only viewpoint that is valid,... is seeing things exactly from their perspectives,... or you earn a bullet to the head.

Hi,.. I'm a Nazi,.. your not,.. bang bang your dead. Short and sweet,.. they get right down to the business of glorifying Fascism.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. He'll get a slap on the wrist since he didn't get to act out

his fantasies.

[quickesst]

19. Know what I'm sick of?

.... right-wingers who immediately spout mental illness as an excuse for these people's behavior. In some cases that may be true, but in this case this person is as sane as anyone else. It has nothing to do with mental illness, and everything to do with idealistic hatred. In this case, citing mental illness is like blaming mental illness on a.Democrat who champions fighting climate change. I wish the MSM would push back harder on this bullshit.

[watoos]

20. Sounds like a good replacement for Mattis.

[Botany]

21. Watch Fox News, listen to Rush, stream Info Wars online, go to a good evangelical "Bible Based ...

... Church," and soon you too can be like Christopher Paul Hasson.

[Initech]

43. Get fed a constant stream of 24/7 hate filled propaganda, you too will go psychotic!

[Botany]

45. The right wing crap really works on some ... a former high school honors chem. teacher I talked ....

... to a few years ago now listens to Rush and he no longer believes in science when it
comes to global climate change & that we need the Canadian tar sands pipeline built
into the United States.

[Initech]

48. That's why I have a no talk radio policy in my car.

Because that shit rots your brain.

[VOX]

22. How long before MAGAts scream, "FALSE FLAG! FALSE FLAG!"?

I’m so sick of these crazies. Go fucking secede, or something. And take your goddamned srsenals with you.

[maryellen99]

23. I had a Trumpie tell me last night on Twitter that it was nt

[VOX]

25. Not surprised. It's their cult-approved default response to mass killings.

It’d be laughable if the situation wasn’t so dire in REALITY (where Trumpists fear to tread).

[maryellen99]

30. The guy who told me this was a 2016 RNC delegate nt

[quickesst]

34. Yeah, a liberal...

.... Who spent the last thirty years of his life infiltrating a right-wing group in preparation for this moment which turned into a monumental failure.

[frogmarch]

24. Will he walk?

What can the law do to him if he hasn't acted on any of it?

[quickesst]

35. At the very least....

.... there are the drugs and gun charges.

[frogmarch]

42. I hope there will be enough charges to

keep him put away for a long time!

[quickesst]

44. I'm hoping

.... along with drug and gun charges, they can somehow convict on the terroristic threatening aspect. Hopefully this will lead to a life sentence. It's what he deserves, and Donald Trump should be his cellmate.

[mercuryblues]

46. He also had a cache of illegal drugs

When law enforcement raided Hasson’s apartment, they said they found a locked container loaded with more than 30 vials of what appeared to be human growth hormone. He has also ordered more than 4,200 pills of the narcotic Tramadol since 2016, along with synthetic urine to allegedly bypass possible random drug screenings at work, they said.”

[frogmarch]

47. Oh, yes, I'd forgotten

about the Tramadol, human growth hormone and fake pee!

Thanks! Great!

[mercuryblues]

49. I think

they are trying to push the owning the guns, while addicted to drugs angle.

[frogmarch]

50. I wonder how long before we

find out what his sentence will be. He sounds nuttier than Alex Jones. Well, as nutty, anyway, or at least almost as nutty.

[treestar]

55. synthetic urine?

Didn't know that was a thing. Does it have any other uses?

[mercuryblues]

56. Ask trump

he likes fake everything. Why not fake urine?

[treestar]

57. lol. But he can beat any drug test with it too!

[lancelyons]

26. And with that, they are covering the Smollet thing much heavier than this Lt and his planned crimes

[quickesst]

36. The Smollett case....

.... has been ongoing for a while, and is pretty consequential in it's own right. This particular case just happened, and so we don't really know how much coverage it will end up having. So far it's getting quite a bit of air time.

[bdamomma]

27. tRump

is unleashing his goons to kill people, and of course he will deny any of this.

[quickesst]

37. Which is exactly what Scarborough said.

trump, and trump alone owns this.

[PeeJ52]

28. We need to give these guys a name for publicity. How about Devil Dads???

[gratuitous]

29. Inchoate rage and violence is all they have left

The blue wave, which just tickled their tootsies in 2018, is gathering again for 2020. Republicans had a free run on an open field for two years and couldn't accomplish anything but a major wealth transfer to their overrich pals. The 2020 Senate map is more favorable for Democrats than the 2018 map was for Republicans. Even at that, they made only minimal pick ups. After 2020, they're going to find themselves firmly and irrevocably in the minority, having to present a case for their privilege rather than just having it assumed. It's not sitting well with some of Trump's supporters.

[flying_wahini]

32. the Not sitting well part is what scares me

I believe there are hundreds if not thousands of people just like this guy waiting to become a martyr for the cause.

[quickesst]

39. I think "not sitting well"...

....might be a bit of an understatement.

[IronLionZion]

33. The word is terrorist, use it for such people

and no more of the typical "but he doesn't have a political agenda" BS. Dude obviously does.

"The defendant is a domestic terrorist, bent on committing acts dangerous to human life that are intended to affect governmental conduct," the detention memo says.

Kudos to whoever used the t word on the official documents. Progress comes one step at a time.

[bdamomma]

38. could we also

classify tRump and his regime as domestic terrorists too?

or Domestic enemies to go by the Constitution which is being shredded by these traitors.

[quickesst]

40. Also...

.... to hell with the mental illness bulshit. This guy's as sane as anyone, and his actions are fueled by idealistic hatred as evidenced by his personal history, and easily proven in any court of law.

[Blue_Tires]

52. +1000

[underpants]

51. Christopher Paul Hasson

This not being the main story is telling

[ck4829]

53. Kick

[quickesst]

54. This needs to stay out front

drump and his band of criminals should be charged with inciting, aiding, and abetting a domestic terrorist because of their silence on the matter, and the rhetoric which inspired this person to threaten members of the Democratic Party, judges, and journalists. drump and the republican party are not only a clear and present danger to the United States of America, they are traitors to this country.

[ck4829]

58. Indeed it does
