He read the names of those killed this weekend. He showed their photos and read what friends remember about each of them.
We can not let this be forgotten. We must hold people accountable...from Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell for not denouncing the GOP enablers and collaborators to Rush Limbaugh and his hate speech to social media who isn't taking serious actions against allowing this to spread.

(26,060 posts)Of course my instinct as a NYer is to say "fuck them, don't let them control you". But if something happened, I'm not sure I could live with it.

Since last Friday this person has been trying to minimize the bombing attempts and late Saturday, he started pushing the meme of how the Synagogue shooter hated Trump and how Trump is not responsible.
I lost it.
I mean I-fucking-lost-it on this SOB.
I pointed out every single instance of RW hate and how no one on the right spoke up. I told him to take his comparisons and shove it up his ass.

(2,476 posts)He started implying that the bombing attempts were a "false flag" operation.
It was partially what sent me into a rage.
He half assed apologized for it....

(28,273 posts)And a member of the synagogue said something to the effect that "If they were here now, they would say: 'That was where we were supposed to be.'"
That's where I lost it.
God bless all who perished, their families and friends. And if trump chooses to befoul that sacred place with his presence tomorrow, I hope he gets the reception he deserves.

(11,578 posts)This is latest massacre is beyond heartbreaking and so unnecessary. Too much innocent blood has been shed on the altar of selfishness of gun rights advocates. Its time to step up and do better
BigmanPigman
(51,630 posts)I haven't heard much about it in the MSM. I am really surprised. Can't they focus on more than one subject at a time? Geez, they are even related! All I hear is about "hate crimes" and how tRump is inciting violence, which is true and needs to be covered, but another assault weapon is responsible for a mass murder and this needs to be discussed, especially leading up to the midterms. Hate and violence along with available assault weapons must be addressed since it gets worse and worse with this moron and the GOP.

Talk to your peers and ask them, "how can anybody in our community vote rethuglican after this?"

Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)and former aides are Jewish. Why are they not speaking up? We have a low class, un-intelligent person in the WH and people allow him to rile up the crazy gun nuts. I fail to understand why people keep their feelings bottled up, while tRump incites hatred.
Catch2.2
(629 posts)need to put pressure on the repugs! Call them out for not denouncing the hate rhetoric. I am so frustrated that I don't hear a word from the Dems. If they continue to do nothing, we will have four more years of Traitor Trump! Come on Dems!!!
