why?

...all sorts of people murder others, for all sorts of reasons.

This is a nation of some 342 million.

We need to be more honest about how many people are making these connections that the right wing and the media are pushing us to adopt in this case.

And I'm tired of listening to the right complain about their people killed when their president is targeting Democrats and Democratic cities exclusively with the full force of the federal government and military.

People act as if there's no consequence to rational people in this country being fed up with this fascist WH and administration's attempts to own them; as if only republicans and bigots have tempers.

Are they not paying attention? It's republicans that should be worried about blowback.. TWO dissaffected republicans tried to kill their party's president.

Democrats intend to clean house of the enablers in Congress in the midterms., and we are pissed beyond the performative, cowardly, American-phobic republican bullshit.

Fuck, give them a platform and they're a pack of circus clowns.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
