Flannery: Trump in a way caused the situation

[DoBW]

He is the beneficiary of his own bad practices

[tostr2]

1. Absolutely

[Meadowoak]

2. I couldn't agree more.

[Walleye]

3. I can't think of even one time when Trump condemned political violence done in his name

[bdamomma]

4. Now

that was good. Never heard of this Mr. Flannery. But he's right in so many things he said.

Food for thought. We need to fix our nation, and having an unfit, convicted felon as a candidate for President is not the way to fix our government, country or us.

[ancianita]

23. Not at all. It's more like 'reap what you sow' explaining.

Democrats try to help suffering victims, not blame them for their suffering. Don't you think Democratic leaders of PA are investigating this shooting and the shooter?

[dalton99a]

6. His love and penchant for political violence is well documented

[AverageOldGuy]

7. Let's take a look back.

Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi, whose husband was brutally attacked by a man with a hammer inside their home, denounced the attack on trump and said she was praying for him. trump at his rallies used to make a punch line of Paul Pelosi, making light of a horrific act of violence.

Trump has suggested the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs should be executed.

Trump has said that Liz Cheney should be tried for treason.

Trump has said that Mike Pence deserved the gallows erected at the Capitol on January 6.

19. Ruffled feathers?

This time one of their own chickens came back home to roost.

8. Guns: Owners have them so as to, in their minds, be able to "take care of problems" that might arise.

Problems? Home intruders. Even Nancy had one under her pillow.

Potential intruders, Like the guy in N.Y. who killed a person who was turning around in his driveway. We read about a few like this every year.

With these two lines of "reasoning," guns don't belong safely stored because, by the time you spin the dial, open the door, find the bullets....

Or ya get the mom who carries one in her purse to protect "junior" who is now dead.... She gets prosecuted. But the solution would be to eliminate the availability of the gun being sold in the first place.

I gotta stop typing while I divert to my all time favorite Youtube, "I just fuckin' shot myself, the musical."

"Red Dawn" fantasy, Russians or Canadians are gonna invade the U.S. and we're not gonna take it lying down.

"Well organized militia," it's our obligation to have one or two in the closet.

Or the biggest problem, solving a political problem for the nation. In this case, Anal Fistula was a "patriot's" problem.


But ya see, Donald, Mitch, Marjorie, JD, all take a lot of money from the gun industry because it helps get them elected.

But sometimes, our old friend, Karma comes knocking. Doesn't it Donald? Your ear still hurting this morning? And it looks like the guy was a far right loonie, loonier than the maggots in your audience.

9. I'm grateful the attack was performed by an amateur shooter; if the shooter had used a bumpstock

dozens might have been killed at a Republican rally.

[Blue Full Moon]

15. Maybe they

Would have needed that to wake up out of their stupor. It's always someone else, until it happens to them.

[sop]

10. "For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind" - Hosea 8:7

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

12. Criminals succeed all the time,

please don't tell me about karma or reaping what you sow. There is no magic equalizer.

[DinahMoeHum]

11. You reap what you sow, Trumpies.

[llmart]

13. Couldn't agree more.

At the end I was surprised to hear him say that the New York Times had an opinion piece where they state he is unfit to be President. Since I don't read or look for the New York Times and I've been taking a news sabbatical for my sanity, this surprises me. But just as this guy talks about how trump is responsible for our political violence, the NY Times is responsible for propping him up.

I guess this is my way of saying to the NY Times editorial board, "too little, too late".

[Blue Full Moon]

14. He instigated

His own assassination attempt.

[czarjak]

16. Reap/Sow

[dlk]

17. When someone consistently foments violence and unlimited access to guns

Violence is guaranteed to happen.

[tinrobot]

18. When your party promotes guns and allows bullets to be sold in vending machines

Your party might be just a bit responsible for more people getting shot.

That includes yesterday.

[The Blue Flower]

20. You reap what you sow

Said it in less than a minute.

Is how Malcolm X put it.

24. Hit by shards of glass...not a bullet

Hey Mel...Next time...open your eyes

[Liberal In Texas]

25. Don't think so.

Don't look damaged.

[WesternWind]

26. Isn't there some old line about reaping and sowing? HAHAHA

Not that anyone deserves this and this is not good for the country but I actually couldn't really care less. Fuck Trump. This is a non-news story; hopefully we can move on to real news; even though this is all tragic and all. The more that guy is on TV the less I want to watch it.
On edit, I know that sounds harsher than I meant it to be.
