be arrested for inciting violence.

Support fake story about political opponent. Someone tries to shoot up a place based on the fake story. Say fake story is still real, despite knowing the consequences of his actions.

of the pizza place should sue.

Or just like the birther scandal, no matter how much proof you show them, the Trumplers will only make excuses as to why it isn't proof?

Didn't someone on the Trump team say something like that? That's a scary statement.

as I was driving last week. I couldn't believe my ears and was completely angered when she wasn't shut down and shamed on the spot. The other guest did go after her on it but the host, don't think it was Diane, didn't push back hard enough and allowed her to talk her way through it.

or be 100% forgotten

this fact by itself would be enough to cause the elder Flynn to withdraw.

We are not living in that time. Instead, what happens is that the reporters covering the story receive threatening emails and have to disable the comments to their articles.

I know there has been discussion about Trump's children but what about his appointees' children?

He is an official in addition to being a relative.

We should all be afraid that right wing fuck-nuts who are either running our country, or are very close to those who are running our country, are mentally disturbed enough to believe these crazy lies - and to spread them and act on them.

We must be sure this stays on the front burner for as long as possible to expose Trump's appointees as mentally and behaviorally unfit to be in any position of leadership or power.

It's getting worse every day. And the mainstream media is worse now at keeping check on power than they were during the campaign. I guess they don't want to be shut out, so they're soft shoeing on Trump's transition. Even MSNBC's daytime coverage seems to almost cheerlead some of what's going on in Trump's world.

Here are some details on the guy who went in to the pizza place with a gun:

I've eaten at this place before. It was featured on an episode of Diners Drive-ins and Dives. It's one of the best pizza's I've ever eaten.

I mean just how far "out there" in your hatred/paranoia do you have to be to actually believe something as patently crazy as this? I also agree with you about the media. There comes a point when you MUST acknowledge the sheer lunacy of what's happening to our country. I think there's a credible charge of sedition to be made against the likes of Breitbart AND Fox.

It's mind-blowing, really.

but he refuses to pay.

fired AN ASSAULT RIFLE?

Hell, they kill black kids for carrying bb guns.

Yes, we're doomed.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/05/politics/kfile-flynn-transition-email/index.html

(CNN)The son of incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn, who Sunday night peddled a false conspiracy theory about a DC pizzeria, has an official government transition email address.

Michael G. Flynn, the son of retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, has served as his father's top aide and chief of staff. CNN's KFile previously reported that he pushed extreme conspiracies theories on Twitter and Facebook.

the world before the Enlightenment, when people believed all sorts of crap because they honestly knew so very little about the world, physics, chemistry, biology, and so on.

Today there's no excuse. And don't we have libel laws in this country?

We have freedom of speech but not freedom of consequences from speech.
Tweeting or putting information online publicly should be covered under Libel law which covers making untrue statements in print or broadcast.

How long have you lived in this country?

because the paranoid conspiracy nuts won't put it to bed

Lemme guess, his whackjob nazi dad was buddies with Curt LeMay.

this particular slur is so vile and so out of bounds, I would encourage her to go after Flynn, Flynn Jr. and the source of the smear.

has a much lower threshold by not being a public figure and, darn it, he can already show damages.

Call a lawyer immediately.

at least officially.

Isn't that convenient.

Use the same logic for Trump molesting children with the Lolita Express.
Trump raping a 13 year old.

Good for many other Trump escapades.

Of course, they do remain stories, it should be noted.......

Should be arrested, immediately, for accessory in the shooting on Sunday.

Good lord... what are we in for over teh next 4 years?

Aimless pizza shop gunman latched onto internet, religion

SALISBURY, N.C. (AP) — Before he was charged with firing an assault rifle inside a Washington restaurant, where he had been drawn by a fake news story, Edgar Maddison Welch was known as a well-meaning father of two girls who unnerved some with his religious fervor and sometimes had trouble detaching himself from the internet.

Police say he came to the Comet Ping Pong pizza restaurant Sunday on a self-imposed mission to investigate a false account of a child sex ring that had spread through fake internet news stories.

For years, he had appeared to lead an aimless life of things left unfinished: jobs, college and even marriage. Along the way, he was convicted of drunken driving and minor drug charges.

. . .

In late October, the 28-year-old struck a teenage pedestrian with his car in his hometown of Salisbury, requiring the boy to be airlifted to a hospital, according to a police report that said he wasn't immediately charged. More recently, days before he drove to Washington, he was dropped from the rolls of a volunteer fire department.
