how debasing political talk has become and that there has been escalation in numbers of death threats against members of Congress.

1. Trump has told his fans that if they harm citizens he will defend them, this is

on the record.

BTW, It is not a "tragedy" when a speeding car hits another car, it is a mathematical inevitability, right? It is not a "tragedy" when one of 400 million guns in America is used to shoot someone, it is a mathematical probability. The RESULTS can be called tragic, not the event.

I heard this point being made on Stephanie this morning, makes sense.

2. I heard Rand Paul imply pretty much the same thing.

It was like, "These things are going to happen" crap. Well, yeah, if we allow our politicians to advocate hurting and violating other citizens who disagree, and then we arm them like they are an army of one, eventually it will happen.

He is like Ryan dedicating his life to making sure poor people die.
