In response to the meme, at right, posted by a friend on ShoutyFace, a friend of hers wrote:

That's not fair. …
I am a Trump supporter, I also conceal and carry every day. I do not run around committing mass murders daily. This is a mental health issue not a supporter issue.

He doesn’t commit mass murders daily? What? Only on weekends then? //snark// And “not fair?” What planet is this person from? Is it fair that his out of control, insecure, god-emperor spews a near constant stream of racist slams and invitations to his followers to take care of his enemies for him?

A friend of mine joined in with:. . your delusions, your myopia and your ignorance of reality have no place in any conversation . . . but please, continue wallowing in your blessed cognitive dissonance to your very own detriment.

Not expecting blow back, the dweeb cluelessly replied  wow! I do not wish to respond to such hate! Enjoy your day!

What a fact-free, reality averse, victim mentalitied pansy. I bet he felt like a real hero of civility for saying the words enjoy your day.

I only mention it but OF FUCKING COURSE this is a mental health problem BUT Republicans on the state and national level have been dismantling mental healthcare since Reagan and before. Got money? Yur family's dough will insure that you’ll be watched over and cared for so you’re not a danger to yourself or others. Don’t got the bucks? Sorry son, yur shit outta luck BUT here, have an AK47 and our thoughts and prayers

Meanwhile the Horror-Show Antagonist in Chief keeps pouring gasoline on the fires of discontent, resentment and hate.

Remember, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on the day of the Iowa caucuses he told audience members he'd pay their legal fees if they fucked up some protesters.

“If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise,” he said on Feb. 1, 2016.

At a Las Vegas rally later that month, he said security guards were too gentle with a protester. "He's walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing," Trump said. "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you."  

A similar situation unfolded at a rally that month in Warren, Michigan.
"Get him out," he said of a protester. "Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court. Don't worry about it." 

 On March 9, 2016, as a protester was being escorted out of a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, he was sucker-punched by another attendee.identified by authorities as John Franklin McGraw, for allegedly assaulting the protester. (source)

This isn't new news. His mentally ill renfields have been murdering for him since the early days. I wonder if the lying sack of shit's making good on his promise to pay all their legal bills, Gee, somehow I doubt it.

In the 215 days that have gone by in 2019 alone, there have been 253 mass murders. Since August first (and it's only August 5th, mes amis), 33 people have been gunned down for the crime of being brown (or being with brown friends) and in the wrong place at the wrong time.

                    10 in Dayton, Ohio
                    20 in El Paso, Texas 

The killings in Chicago and Suffolk, Virginia didn’t even make the news. Are we now so jaded that if the killer only succeeds in nailing one or two it’s not newsworthy?

Thanks to his hate-filled rhetoric, his relentless incitement of violence, and his refusal to acknowledge the surge in white nationalist terrorism, the president poses a clear and present danger to the people, and especially the minorities, of the United States. (source)

Make no mistake, there IS blood on Donald Trump’s hands. 

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
