who warned about this a number of years ago, and was vilified by the right-wing fascists...

and they were frustrated with blocking from political leaders, mostly Republicans are blocking action on this problem.

It was when they also hounded out Van Jones for being a confirmed Socialis; PBO's administration threw quite a few people under the bus to assuage the RWNJ.

But as I recall, the DHS had created a report detailing the threat of white nationalist/supremacist terror in this country during the Cheney/Bush administration. That report was completed just previous to Obama's inauguration. Napolitano withheld publication because of political pressure from the Right, which is to say, the report was suppressed because the GOP and the white terrorist organizations it looks to for votes didn't want it made public.

I was angered when Obama tossed Van Jones out of his administration, but I was, and remain, completely shocked when Napolitano withheld publication of an official report on the threat posed by domestic white terrorist groups that had been written by Bush/Cheney people.

While I have the deepest respect for Obama and truly wish he could have run for a third term, there are things he allowed during his 8 years that History will be right to question and judge harshly.

We lost her as governor of Arizona when she took this post and haven't been able to get a Democrat back into the statehouse since.

That was the beginning of the whole "papers please" BS. I don't think Obama should have given up a Democratic governorship. IIRC, the Arizona GOP then caused some huge voting obstacles that made a difference in later elections which a Democratic governor might have helped prevent.

And Democracy will prevail. I wish all hatred could be gone, but that just won't happen. Human beings have the tendency to hate no matter what.

Remember that t-rump, his family, the administration and cabinet and GOPs are overall white nationalist. We must vote them out.

Are people still open carrying?

How many 911 calls are made when they are seen doing so?

I have a constitutional right to feel safe which over rides some assholes right to freak people out.

At least concealed carry isn't usually an assault rifle.

“Remember, I will walk out of any business where I see some asshole carrying a gun!”

Here they were over a year ago after Parkland -



I suppose "enough" is still not "enough".

Here's a chilling statement from the article:

More people were killed that day in El Paso than all 14 service members killed this year on the battlefields in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

I believe that sooner than later, white supremacy will be defeated. Like many of these vile groups of people, they will eliminate each other. These people are not loyal to anyone, not even within, they are crazy and have a thirst for blood, and they will drink it no matter where it comes from.

I believe the next president will start a campaign to make them disappear, they won't win.

and politicians do their analysis in a talk radio vacuum.

they put a few hundred dipshit racists on 1500 radio station screaming there is no white privilege, the brown hordes are invading, and blowing up every little useful incident into mountains, and liberals and dems do nothing in response

People have to come to a clear conclusion here and that is, Trump is not good, in any way, for the security and prosperity of the United States of America. Donald Trump is a dubious criminal full of his own ambitious corrupt motives designed to help no one else but himself. To sugar coat the obvious does not help the situation.

Donald Corruption Trump must go!

He is a destroyer.

white supremacists, fringey militia types and facist wanna bes - whats different now is the legitimacy accorded to them by a major political party.
