Yes, the rhetoric needs to stop. Stop demonizing and dehumanizing immigrants. Stop calling people exercising their legal rights “terrorists.” Stop using the language of combat in dealing with civilians. You created these conditions and used them to kill people. Stop.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

“When a domestic agency dresses for war, it risks acting as if it is at war, even with the public. Clothing alone does not determine conduct, but it can help shape a worldview in which violent confrontation is more likely.”

There's this general sense on this website that GOP pols on the Hill are privately appalled by Trump and just waiting for their moment to jump ship.
And, I gotta tell you, when I talk to my contacts there, I just get no sense of that whatsoever.

I'm a semi-truck that merged INTO my lane while I was on my bike doing about 65+.
You know that scene in Fast and the Furious where the car goes under the truck and comes out the other side? Yeah.

Two people tried to extinguish the light of Chanukah through murderous violence.
But was is one man, Ahmed al-Ahmed, whose flashlight shone through the darkness they wrought, a reminder of Chanukah’s message that in the longest of nights, a tiny flame can dispel much darkness.
