By all means, carry on along with LT with your attempts to deflect criticism of Trump by driving this discussion off topic but the rest of us will stick to discussing the issue from now on.

You're blaming Donald Trump for some mentally ill nutcase shooting up a mall in El Paso. That's the story here.

An oversimplification that doesn't reflect reality in order to protect your favourite orange mushroom.

At least two attacks in the past week have been a result of right wing terrorism with both attackers citing Trump's words, actions and/or presidency as inspiration.

As I said before, pretty much every leader is considerate with their words, they do not speak out of turn, they think before they speak or tweet or make a statement and that's because their words have power.

Trump has a fanatical fanbase, it's cult-like and so when he's tweeting hatred like a teenager without a care in the world then the crazies will listen and use his words as justification.

It is a FACT that right wing terrorism is now the most common form of terrorism in America and it's a FACT that the rate of attacks have increased since 2016 when Trump has taken office. Extremists listen to Trump's rhetoric and they believe it's permission and validation to take action.

It's quite undeniable but Trump's supporters can always be relied on to try to deny reality for what it is.

I could use the same language and phrasing, because the mainstream media is proven to be fake, but I don't support anybody killing people.

Shall we just do this year?

The 2 and a half year Russian stuff, all turned out fake.
The Covington kids was false
The mainstream ran with the Jessie Smollett interpretation of events

If we go back further. There's the hands up don't shoot.

Lazy journalism producing fake news.
