Personally, I expect lawyers to argue like lawyers. It's how they are trained to argue.

Trump didn't incite anyone to violence.  The guy hated immigrants, so he took his gun and shot a bunch of people who appeared to be those he hated.

Like I said, at a Trump rally in Florida this past May POTUS was talking about how to stop the influx of immigrants and a person in the crowd shouted that they could shoot them. The president's response? He laughed, and said "Only in the panhandle can you get away with that!" Didn't shake his head, didn't say "Hey now, that's not okay. We don't do that." He found it funny and joked about it. (Contrast that to McCain's response to a woman saying Obama was a foreign Muslim, which is very tame in comparison.) It's clear even Trump is surprised by how his own rhetoric influences people (see: his reaction to how the crowd rolled with his "Send her back" chant, and how quickly he denounced his own words the next day)

Sometimes I struggle to understand people's standards. No, Trump did not say, "Okay my loyal minions: KILL ALL IMMIGRANTS!" while shooting fire out of his mouth. But his rhetoric on immigration aligns perfectly with the manifesto that the shooter wrote. You can't pretend it doesn't have an effect. You also can't pretend the way Trump speaks is normal, or would have been deemed acceptable if any other modern president did it.

You're getting your maniacs muddled up.  The Dayton maniac was a Democrat.  The El Paso maniac was a Republican. - he was the one who took his marching orders from Trump.

I stand corrected.

I guess I need to get a scorecard to keep the players straight...

Sad

I was just going by the maniac I started the tread about.

The Dayton maniac.

Appologies to the maniacs for the mixup.


Or not.

Um...both shootings were equally horrible. Sorry, I know that’s not the drama you were hoping for.

It's the same kind kind of stuff thrown at Trump regularly.
