    Default What Has Trump Done To Us, America?

    Trump Blames Deaths At Pittsburgh Synagogue On Lack Of Armed Guards


    We have become a nation in which Jews are increasingly targeted and attacked. The Anti-Defamation League’s annual audit of anti-Semitism found that anti-Semitic incidents rose 57 percent in 2017, the largest single year increase on record and the second highest reported since the ADL started to keep track in 1979.

    No one is immune: At least one incident occurred in every state. In schools, community centers and cemeteries. And now, this year, in a synagogue.

    What has happened to America?


    We have become the nation of immigrants that is turning its back on immigrants, throwing them away from the border, separating families, locking up their children, and portraying them as satanic creatures ready to invade rather than ordinary people fleeing untenable circumstances.

    So is it any wonder that Robert Bowers, the man arrested for shooting eight people dead this morning at Etz Chaim synagogue in the heavily Jewish Pittsburgh neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, was obsessed with HIAS, the legendary immigrant aid society that has helped Jews and non-Jews for more than a century?

    “HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people,” he wrote on a social media post that has since been deleted. “I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I’m going in.”

    But very worst of all, we are a nation with a president who stokes this anger — against immigrants, against minorities, against anyone who disagrees with him at any moment — and then, when violence and death stain the landscape, blames the victims for not protecting themselves enough, as if that were the reason for the bloodshed.

    It’s time for the Jewish community in all its many facets to confront the complicity of the man in the White House, and all who support him — with money, votes, political expertise and moral cover.

    We did it to ourselves, Guno.

    The problem is that to so many Americans, Jews are not part of us.

    The deranged orangutan would not have been elected if the American population wasn't already diseased with racists, xenophobes, and other hideously defective people.

    He just gave the signal that it was time for the deplorables to crawl out from under their respective rocks.
    Trump, more than anybody who's ever lived, sounded the message that it's OK to be a complete asshole--just like he himself.
    And we had more people ready to believe it than we realized.

    These people are mutants. They cannot be repaired.
    Hopefully, the actual humans who were too lazy to get off their asses and vote in 2016 can be repaired.
    If not, it's over.
    The dystopian anarchy is a 365¼ day a year reality....possibly forever.

    Now the ignorant dickhead is calling for "return" to the death penalty, and his class of clowns cheer. The death penalty was never eliminated (and would apply to this situation), and save for the individual killed by such a sentence has never stopped a murder. What we need is a return to morality, and civility, two things that the Trumpanzees, and their gawd, know nothing about.

    All treapasses, crime, and sins, begin with a lie. And Trump has shown himself to be the master of lies.
    "2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"

    guno. Do you blame yourself? Do you think YOUR Hate Speech could have had anything to do with this? Do YOU think your constant rants about 'Pork-Gobblers' in anyway supports Unity? Or does it promote Hatred? Think about it. You're not part of the Solution, ... you're part of the Problem.

    I never have seen Guno call for the death of his enemies.

    I have seen many call for death to Jews.

    Jack, stop the false equivalency, please: it is childish.

    Most Progressives believe in, support, work towards a Unity, a Brotherhood. Guno does just the OPPOSITE. He intentionally breeds DIVISION, like Trump. He CONSTANTLY calls people 'Pork-Gobblers'. It's his standard typical insult and taunt to 'Christians'. He's NOT a Progressive. He's NOT a Liberal. He's a Hate-Monger. If the incident in Pittsburgh would have been in a Christian Church, guno would have been jubilant.

    People like guno are NOT part of the Solution, ... they are part of the Problem. They are Hate-Mongers that seem to delight in alienating people from each other.

    4 cops got shot. Exactly how much safer would 5they have been with a guard? He probably would have shot him first.

You're no different than the Trump Supporter that Hates Black People and Jews. Instead of 'Black People', YOU Hate White People. Instead of Jews', YOU Hate Christians. What's the difference? Are YOU any different than the guy that Hates 'Brown People' and 'Muslims'?

    YOU try to shroud yourself in the Mantle of the Progressive Movement, but all you're doing is setting it back. Blemishing it with the stain of Hatred. Everyday you insult and taunt 'Christians' and 'White People'. In your brain, is that a productive course of action? Is that a positive endeavor? Does that really help the cause of Brotherhood, Fraternity, Equality? Why not be a positive influence rather than some redneck, hayseed, jerk, that you seem to go out of your way to emulate?

    guno started a thread around September 11 of this year titled something like "We're All New Yorkers". Everybody shook their heads, rolled their eyes and audibly laughed. Nobody replied to this unintended ironic thread.
    Here's guno, some Hate-filled person, that doesn't let a single day go by without spewing Hatred, trying to talk about 'Solidarity'. Who does guno resemble, who does guno identify with? New Yorkers ... or the guys in the planes?
    The guys in the planes are the Hate-filled people that spew Hatred, just like guno.

    guno is the Worst Nightmare for Progressives, Democrats, Liberals, and anybody left of center. Trump should hire guno to go on the Internet and spew his Daily Hatred so as to drum up support for Republican Candidates and inspire Shooters like the guy in Pittsburgh. guno and his Hate-filled rants are more like the Pipe Bomber than they are to Patriots like Bernie Sanders.

    Guno is the counter-reflection of many of this board's "conservatives": very little dif in hate and rage.
