I dont think Trump is necessarily the problem.
Hes just a leading political figure who is finally saying out loud what his supporters were already thinking anyway. He is capitalizing on the problem, but hes not the source.
The source, I feel, is an ugly truth that has been bubbling under the surface for a long time; a truth that we now must confront. That truth would have shown itself sooner or later. If not Trump, it would be somebody else.
That undeniable truth is, go figure, a whole lot of Americans are hateful, violent people.
All Trump did was light a match in a room that was already drenched in gasoline.
I'm glad he's a voter, and a progressive. He's just too sane not to be.
Hillary Clinton is FOR the Death Penalty! That's not very progressive.

This list doesn't include the people that were executed, and found to be innocent after the fact. Nor does it list the people that were executed that we will never really know if they too were wrongly killed.
But Hillary says the issue is "complex". How can her reasoning that we keep the death penalty be any more "complex" than the government sanctioned murder of innocent men and women?
I wonder what HRC supporters think about this 'complex issue"?
I don't think I'm in the minority - please read.
Why is truth, fair play, and #1 - HONESTY a liberal value?
That is a question that I would LOVE to hear the answer to from every presidential candidate from both parties.
Why do republicans rely almost totally on falsehoods, and intimidation?
Sorry if I ruined anyone's evening!
Holy Cow! MSNBC: DOJ grants immunity to tech worker for HRC email system.
Lawrence O'Donnell reported this.

The official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Clintons 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009.
As the FBI looks to wrap up its investigation in the coming months, agents are likely to want to interview Clinton and her senior aides about the decision to use a private server, how it was set up, and whether any of the participants knew they were sending classified information in emails, current and former officials said.
The inquiry comes against a political backdrop in which Clinton is the favorite to secure the Democratic nomination for the presidency.
Don't you just hate it when people vote against their own interests?
And take us down with them? Makes you a bit irritated to say the least. Right?
Boy did I make a big mistake
I had over 400 Hillbots on full ignore. I decided to clear the entire list to see if anything improved, just to find it's worse than ever. I've already been alerted on twice. Oh well, back to the Hillary group to recull the herd.
Has anyone seen this video?

Bernie Sanders wins Nevada Caucuses!
You heard it here first, but the media shouldn't be too far behind. I went through the entire Reddit precinct reporting thread and it seems pretty obvious! Thank goodness you Bernie, your activists and the good people of Nevada!
The Berning moves on to its biggest victory, and the silver coffin nail!
Kudo's to the way BLM and the FBI handled the Oregon incident.
They've learned a lot from history, and if it wasn't for the wacko with a death wish reaching for his gun so he could be suicided by cop, there would have been no bloodshed. There shouldn't have been any bloodshed seeing how calm and responsible the authorities acted throughout the 41 days.
Some people were calling for action. Some were saying the authorities were afraid, and wimps, because the seemingly did nothing for so long.
All part of the plan. Great plan, carried out by some very responsible public servants. I can only say thank you for doing what you could to bring this to a peaceful conclusion.
If you agree that the Feds did a very honorable job, please K&R this thread for visibility.
