    Naturally, Trumpeedo is doing everything he can to unify the country! Just take a look at one of his recent comments:

    "We have radical left lunatics out there and we just have to beat the hell out of them."

    As we all know, in Trump’s world, the "radical left" includes pretty much anyone to the left of him

    Glad to see you again! 

    Whenever Democrats talk the way Trump does they get accused of fomenting violence. Or, like when Governor Newsom made posts imitating Trump's style, right-wing media made a big deal out of how unbecoming it was for an elected official. The lack of self-awareness is mind boggling.

    Yeah his compassion really shined in that second video. He only called Walz a whack job a couple of times – if he wasn't in such deep mourning he would of called Walz a whack job 20 or 30X.

    I don’t think Trump cares about the shooting – he just cares that it is a good distraction and a good way to brew hatred. Cheers!

    Trump actually did call Walz after the school shooting, so I don't know what changed. Could it be his supporters wouldn't want him to care if Democrat politicians were shot, but some of them care about children?

    It was a political assassination. That is according to the police and the Gov of UT.  It was not random. It was planned. It was because Kirk was effective with young people.  And the rhetoric used by the left media/politicians.  When they say daily: He is Hitler, his supporters are NAZIs, white supremists, bigots, a threat to democracy etc etc is should not be a surprise that one or more of their supporters decide to "save the democracy." 

    This man was one of the most peaceful, he went to colleges and just talked to the students, he let the people with a different opinion speak their side and then he would say his etc. And they killed him for it. Because he was effective....

    I remember a week or so after Nancy Pelosi’s husband was viciously beaten with a hammer Trump sarcastically said – I wonder how Nancy’s husband is doing. Then he went on a 5 minute rant about how awful she is. Cheers and happy weekend!

    No. 

    * When we have world leaders who think might makes right and/or call for violence to "solve issues", there will always be people who rise up and follow their orders/lead.  History shows this.

    * When we (meaning the people of the world) teach our children (or other children) - by our actions/reactions (or our lack of action/reactions) - that we tolerate (or sanction) violence or revenge with no consequences, they will repeat it and teach the same to their children.  The proverb - "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." - holds true in the opposite as well.

    * So long as there is no justice evil actions will continue.  We let murders get off unpunished or give them a "slap on the wrist".  Many who do evil are let off (bribery, lying, etc.) simply because they are wealthy or hold positions of power.
