    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.

    Thanks! I stopped posting a couple of months ago after someone made an abhorrent comment about Gaza, saying that Israel was “being too nice”. Until this individual is removed, I’m not going to hang around here too often.

    Both sides show a lack of awareness, but it is more pronounced on the far right, led by the person who should be setting an example.

    He was not talking about politicians. 
    Listen in context.   He was talking about the violent lunatics.   And being brave for even being outside taking questions.  And if you listen to the rest of the questions/answers, tells people to respond nonviolently. 

    “We have to be brave in life, in all fairness, we have a life. I probably shouldn’t be out here talking to you in all fairness but we will be brave. And we have a great country. We have radical-Left lunatics out there and we just have to beat the hell out of them."

    I see you've replied to me, but I haven't read the body of your text.  To be clear, I no longer read anything you post. I'm not interested in your worldview, so don't waste your time responding to my comments - I'll just skip them.

    I reply to any post I feel. Just as you do/can.   
    I do not plan to stop that anytime soon.

    I suppose you think the January 6th participants weren't radical right lunatics.  It is absolutely disgusting that they were all pardoned.  So much for Trump being in favor of law and order.

    Some were and some were not. Those that were violent belong in prison.  Those who were not do not.  They all deserved a trial to decide that....but after years many were still just in prison without trial. That is unconstitutional and Trump remedied that.

    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.

    Charlie Kirk’s killer just turned himself in. His family is strongly republican. Cheers and happy weekend!

    How long will it take Trump to get over the loss of the man he said was like a sun to him?

    He could of at least took the time to say he wished that Charlie would of been around to see his new ballroom. Maybe if Trump is asked to say a few words at Kirk’s funeral Trump will say that Kirk loved golf then he will brag that he just golfed a perfect game. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I give him two weeks.  That's his usual time frame for doing things.

    Have they really been trying to get a ballroom built at the WH for the past 150 years?
    Cheers and happy weekend!

    I don't know. But I have no problem with it. Every change to the White  House has been controversial no matter who was president at the time, vand there have been a lot of changes.

    How funny - I just watched this clip that was posted on Facebook.  Too bad he won't be able to invite Charlie Kirk to dance in his new ballroom.

    The murderer is not a Republican, his parents maybe. But he is not.

    After the FBI headquarters was shot up and before any facts were in the Trump team claimed it couldn’t of been a republican so it must have been the lunatic left. After both assassination attempts on Trump and before any facts were in the Trump team claimed it couldn’t of been a republican so it must have been the lunatic left. And now with Kirk the same thing is being pushed. All the facts aren't in but we do know that one of shell casings had the words “if you can read this you are gay” so it could have been a hate crime. And some of the shooters on-line posts claimed that Kirk was too woke. That doesn't sound like democrat thinking to me. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Are you claiming the evil people who attempted to assassinate President Trump were not "lunatics leftists?"  Because they were/are. 

    This latest "lunatic leftist" has been confirmed by his family to be a leftist.
