We are seeing the emergence of the “Trump made me do it” defense in criminal cases — or at least the “Trump influenced me” mitigation. Trump’s words are having an impact in criminal courtrooms.


If Stephen Ross funds Trump’s white supremacist campaign filled with fascist chants of “SHOOT THEM” and “SEND THEM BACK”, then Steve Ross makes that white supremacy campaign possible. He’s directly funding online ads warning of a Hispanic “invasion” just like the El Paso shooter.

“Trump Plays the Role of Victim as He Visits Victims of Dayton, El Paso Mass Shootings”


Here’s Trump bragging today in El Paso, 4 days after an anti-immigrant mass shooting in the same city, about a speech he delivered in February in El Paso in which he fomented anti-immigrant hysteria. This is an amoral person, to put it very charitably.


Trump blames Dems for fact he spent day he visited mass shooting sites launching attacks against them on Twitter, alludes to how popular he was at hospitals where victims are being treated. This is not a normal guy.


Stephen Ross—The owner of @soulcycle —says “he has always been an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion diversity and environmental sustainability” but is hosting a fundraiser for Trump who stands against all those things. Literally-a nonsensical statement from Ross.

My God. You shallow little turd.


WATCH: @FrankFigliuzzi1 says when it comes to dealing with white supremacy, Trump is either getting good advice from aides & ignoring it... or he's getting terrible advice. The detail Figliuzzi cites to illustrate his point is very unsettling.


Trump is on Air Force One tweeting attacks of elected officials, some who've served this country honorably their entire lives and now our tax dollars are being spent for the Press Secretary is calling their honesty into question? SWEET BABY JESUS these people are insane!


I remember when Q was a character who served as a plot device on Star Trek: The Next Generation. This is a cult.


Republicans always try to bully Dems into silence by playing a civility card. If they actually cared, their leader wouldn’t be Donald Trump and their propaganda channel wouldn’t be Fox News.


The greatest trick white supremacy ever pulled was convincing the world it didn’t exist.

Putin is a sick and sadistic man. Here is a story (in Russian) about how he has taken away a one year old child from parents because they participated in the recent demonstrations.


"Whether it’s guns or Russia or health care or you name it, the biggest roadblock to progress isn’t named Donald Trump. Mitch McConnell is destroying this country."


He's not even wrong. I'll get the pitchforks. You get the torches.


He’s simply not capable of being anything more than a spoiled, ill-behaved child who lashes out for attention and stomps his feet when he’s hungry. That’s all he’ll ever be. Even after two mass shootings.
