The attack on Mr. Pelosi is the result of the toxic stew that comes from the right's hate talk

[Botany]

... media, web sites, and politicians. In Ohio JD Vance has been running commercials linking
Tim Ryan to Nancy Pelosi 24/7 as if she some kind of devil. It includes a pictures to make
Speaker Pelosi look ugly too. Fox News also owns this attack big time as do all the other
hate talkers.

We need to crush these bastards in this election.

[Peregrine Took]

1. Gets more poisonous every day. n/t

[Lovie777]

2. Totally agree......

[DENVERPOPS]

22. I figure that

it is gonna get a lot worse in the next ten days........That we ain't seen nothing yet, maybe even yet another Repubs notorious October Surprise.........

[Botany]

4. In Ohio in 2008 my friend Jennifer Brunner was Sec. of State and night after night Hannity ....

.... ran stories that did not have one scintilla of truth to them that Brunner was working w/ACORN
to rig the vote in OH. She got real life death threats from some of Fox's mouth breathing watchers
to the point she wasn't safe in her own home. Bill O'Rielly got Dr. Tillerson killed too.

[Meadowoak]

3. Andy Barr in KY has an ad that makes Nancy look like a monster, he says

Nancy Pelosi wants to kill your babies.

[Johnny2X2X]

5. Trump

Trump has been calling for violence against Dems for 6 years now.

[ShazzieB]

37. Yes, this all goes back to him.

SO MUCH goes back to Trump, from January 6 to the armed vigilantes watching ballot drop boxes to all the scads of election deniers running for office in this election. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The list of fires he's poured gasoline on would easily fill a shelf full of books. It's insane how much anger, hate, violence, and other horribleness this one asshole has unleashed on this country, and he is nowhere near finished.

The worst part, to my mind, is that his sole motivation for all of this goes back to his desperate need to bolster his giant yet incredibly fragile ego, starting with his desire to get back at Obama for embarrassing him at the 2011 White House Correspondents dinner. Just look at what's happened since then. How many people have DIED, and how many others have been harmed in a multiplicity of ways, all because of ONE malignant narcissist who couldn't take a joke?

And as I alluded to above, he's not even close to being done. Even IF he were arrested tomorrow, his influence will be with us for at least as long as as any members of his "fan club" remain in office. That's why the stakes of this election are so incredibly high. God knows how much more havoc he'll be able ro wreak if we don't hold on to AT LEAST one house of Congress.

I refuse to even entertain the notion of his running in 2024, much less anything beyond that. There's a finite amount of abject terror that my brain can process at one time, and it's maxxed out for now. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil therof."

[PlutosHeart]

6. And where are laws and arrests for all of these people?

Threats are not ok.

[blueknight73]

7. Has the police

captured the offender?

[Boomerproud]

9. Yes. He was attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer even after

the police arrived shouting "Where is Nancy,?," Troubling and frightening times we're living in.

[blueknight73]

33. Wow

How awful. Thanks for the reply

[DENVERPOPS]

23. They arrived while he was still being attacked

according to the police, and they had to wrestle the hammer away from the Deranged Trump Humper.
Or is Deranged Trumphumper being redundant........??????????

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

26. And the Trumphumpers accuse us of being "deranged".

"Trump Derangement Syndrome"- what we are accused of having because we despise that POS for the fact that he is a vulgar, greedy, callous, hateful, lying bigot. And a traitor who would sell us out to the highest bidder.

[RKP5637]

8. Far too much goes on in the US under the guise of freedom of speech.

Just about anything goes. These characters incite violence, lies and spread their propaganda 7x24. Eventually, the US will crumble into a horrific state as this crap continues.

[Botany]

10. Christian fascism (fascisti)

Not a dime's worth of difference between Mussolini's Black Shirts and those J-6 thugs.
And they allowed a minority to take over from the majority and install Benito Amilcare
Andrea Mussolini as president.

[RKP5637]

13. And the US marches down a similar road. It's a total WTF, so many are

so absolutely stupid and ignorant.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

27. I agree 100%.

[spanone]

11. It also comes directly from donald john trump

[Kablooie]

12. And I'll bet they are delighted about it.

They support violence as long as it’s someone else who suffers the consequences

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Get young people out to vote. . . . nt

[The Grand Illuminist]

15. I don't think elections will solve the problem.

If they lose, it will only bring in louder, more extreme voices. And if they win, their laws will fuck up the people's way of life.

[RKP5637]

16. Hmmmm, I wonder if Musk will endorse this crap on twitter as just having dialogue, anything

goes. I bet Twitter becomes a vile cesspool.

[kimbutgar]

17. I was in Philadelphia last week and they had this commercial on with Nancy Pelosi saying she is evil

I live in SF and have known about Nancy Pelosi for years she is an intelligent, caring, loving politician who really cares about her constituents. If you call her office and ask for help you get a response and then a follow up call.

[Catherine Vincent]

18. This one hundred percent!

I've been on twitter reading the maga cult tweets and they calling liberals racists and hateful blah blah. It's unbelieveable reading such bullshit.

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Absolutely true.

This is the result of years of hate speech and the election of Donald J. Trump.

[Botany]

20. The hate and "the other guy is at fault" has been part of the GOP since Joe McCarthy and Richard ...

... Nixon and his southern strategy and then Reagan's getting rid of the fairness doctrine put that hate/idiocy to
work on steroids.

[TheCowsCameHome]

41. I blame a huge chunk of it on the still very dead guy.

He took it to the airwaves and spawned countless wannabees.

He's dead but his legacy lives.

[Botany]

44. R you talking about the drug addicted guy who did such much Oxy that he made himself deaf,

was arrested in Pittsburgh for soliciting an undercover male policeman to buy sex,
traveled to the Dominican Republic so he could pay to fuck little boys in the ass,
was married 3 or 4 times but never had any kids, had his wives sign NDAs, and
died a painful death from lung cancer after telling his listeners that smoking his
cigars was harmless?

A former high school teacher who taught honors chemistry and was a very good tennis
coach and player started to listen to "el Rushbo" and he was gone.

[TheCowsCameHome]

48. Yes, that's him. He experienced such a happy ending, didn't he?

I wonder who got his now-worthless Medal of Freedom...

[Botany]

49. He hurt 100s of thousands of families with his folksy

... hate talk. I don't want to sound petty but the man didn't suffer enough. Even with 1 foot in the grave he was pushing Trump's hydroxycholorquine snake oil for C-19. Trump and Kushner had bought a shit load of that crap on 2029.

[TheCowsCameHome]

50. Agree on all points

He did immeasurable damage to this country. He led the charge and spawned the hatemongers of today.

He could never suffer enough for my liking.

[Joinfortmill]

21. The Congress needs to pass a Fairness Doctrine type regulation or we are surely screwed

and more people will be hurt.

[DENVERPOPS]

25. AND

It should apply to anything broadcast over the air waves, especially Fox News.........

The Networks didn't even broad cast Biden's speech a few weeks ago, but the sure as hell allowed Trump to go on during primetime, every night for an hour during the pandemic. Of course he baited them with that he was going to give an update on the virus, which he did for about two minutes, and then launched into a tirade of his angry, demeaning corrupt rhetoric for the other 58 minutes.........That went on for two months before some of the networks let him say anything about the Virus, and then cut back to normal broadcasting at the end of his two minutes about the virus....

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

28. And even his talk about the COVID virus should have been pre-empted.

Remember him talking about UV lights and disinfectants? Or how the whole thing was either: a) a complete hoax and "fake news" or b) "it'll be gone away before you know it!". And the dipshit never wore a mask to set a good example for others.

[Joinfortmill]

35. You said it.

[whathehell]

32. YES!!. We definitely need some regulation of the lies

and the hate speech.

[Erik the UNred]

24. Quite Obviously

[birdographer]

29. And now Twitter

has opened the floodgates to a massive amount of this sewage. I don't have an account there, but I hear on Tribel (where the sane and rational Twitter folks are fleeing to) that it has gotten really bad really fast. and so the stew is coming to a boil over there.

[Joinfortmill]

36. I deleted my twitter acct today. Didn't know about Tribel. I'll check it out.

[Emile]

30. Despite what republicans spew, taking personal responsibility is

not even close to being on their radar screen.

[debm55]

31. In PA we have ads firm Oz, John has an ugly immigrant wife, is a racist, drug user, and trust fund

baby until he was 49. Also,they call him Lurch and Uncle Fester, It's ugly here in PA

[The_Casual_Observer]

34. Once they run out of "false flag" and other bullshit they will

Claim he was mentally ill. Well JFC what's the difference if they endlessly encouraged someone to do this shit mentally ill or not?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. Gangsters Of Putin merged with the U.S. Taliban, directed by Fascist Oligarch eXtremists.

[Botany]

40. Fascist Oligarch eXtremists.

Such as Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam who helped to fund the J-6 being told
"the big lie" that Trump won the election.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

45. Couldn't find any info about that, but found an opensecrets article from 2020 ...

NFL owners give nearly 9-1 to Republicans, including Trump

The amounts were shocking.

[Botany]

46. Haslam has done a lot of work "cleaning up" any traces of the money he spent promoting ....

... "the big lie" that Trump really won the 2020 election to the dumb fucks. It used to be
easy to find but now it is all but impossible to find "it." For some reason some of the super
rich wanted to promote "the big lie" in order to cause division in America.

BTW I grew up and have been a big Browns fan but after the way they left the city, with Jimmy Haslam
being such a shit, ( https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/11214330/jimmy-haslam-company-pilot-flying-j-pay-92m-fine )
and bringing in Deshon Watson I now want them to lose every game as long he owns the team.


When Haslim's scam of his customers was busted his #2 called him up and said said something like, "They have
caught us." To which Haslam did not ask what it was about.

[moondust]

39. Has Empty Gee "whiz" blamed

the Jewish space lasers yet?

[malaise]

42. Same with Rubio ads against Val Demmings

The Pelosi attacks are off the chart. ReTHUGs led by the Slobfather, are responsible for the attack on Paul Pelosi

[Blue Owl]

43. K&R
