monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

"Now, my sources are telling me he's...not yet made that momentous decision...

I don't have tremendous faith in the journalistic professionalism of Pierre or ABC, but since WaPo's dumping any and all vestiges of journalistic integrity in the pursuit of its mission to take Trump down has been frequently demonstrated, my bet is that it's they who have screwed the pooch on this story.

making the point that when he screamed an invitation for Barack Obama to suck on his machine gun, it was only a metaphor - certainly not intended to suggest violence.

Comey said in his recent testimony before the senate that, as of the day he left office, Trump was not under investigation--for obstruction of justice or anything else.

Having said that, now (according to Comey, anyway) the FBI has a "duty" to announce the fact if Trump ever does come under investigation. The FBI has made no such announcement as far as I know.

Breitbart Catalogues Celebrities Liberally Urging Violence against Trump
June 16 (EIRNS)—On June 14, Breitbart News ran a chilling story listing “15 Times Celebrities Envisioned Violence against Trump and the GOP,” with large photos and quotes. Although Breitbart doesn’t present it this way, this pattern is in fact part of a classical British operation to prepare the environment for an actual hit against the President, as the British have done repeatedly throughout American history when they saw British policies threatened by the occupant of the White House.
Breitbart begins with “comedienne” Kathy Griffin’s now famous “Trump beheaded” photograph; includes New York City’s “Shakespeare in the Park’s nightly ‘assassination’ of Julius Caesar dressed as Trump.” “Unfortunately,” writes Breitbart, “Griffin and the director of Julius Caesar are not anomalies, but part of an escalating pattern over the past 18 months.”
On June 12, U.S. House Republican Whip Rep. Steve Scalise was shot at a GOP Congressional baseball practice, and remained in critical condition after multiple surgeries through Saturday. The connection between this event and the pattern of overt incitement to violence against Trump and his supporters has been noted.
They include the actress Kathy Griffin, photographed holding a fake bloodied, decapitated head of the President, reminiscent of the ISIS propaganda pose; Madonna, whose photo is captioned, “I’ve thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House... but I know that this won’t change anything.” Rapper Snoop Dogg “shoots” Trump in the head in a music video, saying “nobody’s dealing with the real issue.”
Actor Robert De Niro, after participating in a voter registration public service ad in October 2016 during the Presidential race, was filmed in an outtake saying of Trump: “He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con, he’s a bullshit artist.... I’d like to punch him in the face.”
Joss Whedon, director of “The Avengers” TV show, who released a star-studded PSA for Rodham Clinton in the 2016 race, tweeted shortly after the Nov. 8 election that Trump “cannot be allowed a term in office” (emphasis in original), Breitbart reports.
David Simon, director of the HBO series “The Wire” tweeted: “If Donald Trump fires Robert Mueller and is allowed to do so, pick up a goddamn brick. That’s all that’s left to you.” Mickey Rourke, actor in “The Wrestler,” told TMZ in April 2016, “I’ll meet him in a hotel room and give him, depending on interpretation, either a baseball bat or an obscenity.” Actress Lea DeLaria said just after the November 2016 election, she wanted to “pick up a baseball bat and take out every f*cking republican and independent I see,” with the hashtags, “#f*cktrump, #f*cktheGOP, #f*ckstraightwhiteamerica” and “#f*ckyourprivilege.”
Rappers YG and Nipsy Hussle released a rap during 2016 titled “F*ck Donald Trump,” including the threat “Surprised El Chapo ain’t tried to snipe you...” Marilyn Manson, in a music video released around Election Day, stands over the lifeless body of a man resembling Trump while ripping Bible pages. Rapper Everlast warns in an interview: “watch out, Donald Trump, because I will punch you in your f*cking face if I ever meet you. Secret Service had better just f*cking be on it,” reported Breitbart.

point of order: there is no such thing as 'mere' indifference....it means that something or somebody cannot make a blip to the other person. Hate is a strong emotion, someone would have to really care about some thing to actually hate....a person's life has to be pretty damn uneventful to actually work up a 'hate' for other members. When you 'hate' people you don't know, you have surrendered your power and your integrity.

Now I've spent 4 or 5 minutes of my life I will never get back....that's about all I am willing to spare.
