Showing Original Post only (View all)Show of hands. Did anyone here NOT BELIEVE that Trump would eventually cause physical harm to Democratic politicians? [View all]
I've been working on a few projects this afternoon and just saw the news about Senator Padilla.
And trust me, I'm as pissed off and outraged as anyone here. But what bothers me the most is that I am not surprised that this happened.
REMEMBER Trump's MAGAt rally remarks, in his first term, telling cops to "not be too careful" when handling protesters?
Trump is cruel, if nothing else. HE LOVES TO SEE OTHERS PHYSICALLY HARMED.
So did anyone see this story today and say "I never thought that would happen?" Because for me, I thought it was just a matter of time.

He was talking about this shit in 2015 rallies. And he relished it then. We had our chance at accountability.
