Psychiatrists who warned that Donald Trump was fomenting violence receive threats of violence from Trump fans. Let's call that, point made.

Courtesy of the Daily Beast:  

Two psychiatrists who warned that Donald Trump was inspiring violence had their point made, the hard way, when Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) abruptly canceled a planned public meeting with them at a senior center after receiving violent threats about the event. 

According to Bandy X. Lee, an associate professor at Yale who was scheduled to speak at the event, Raskin informed her just 24 hours beforehand that it was off, because going forward would have posed “significant safety risks” to attendees. 

“Sorry about tomorrow night—we’ve been getting so many threats,” Raskin said, according to Lee, the editor of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, a controversial collection of essays arguing that Trump’s affinity for violence represents a danger to the public, and a leading member of the National Coalition of Concerned Mental-Health Experts (full disclosure: the group’s members include Claire Silverman, a psychologist and this reporter’s mother) that’s raised public questions about Trump’s fitness for office. 

Raskin has roused the ire of Trump supporters since he submitted a bill in April of last year calling for the creation of a committee to evaluate the president’s physical and mental fitness. 

“Whenever my boss talks about the 25th Amendment, there will be an uptick in comments on social media, or phone calls, or emails, that contain either explicit threats or generally violent and hateful language,” Lauren Doney, Raskin’s communications director, told The Daily Beast, while confirming that Thursday’s event had been canceled.

Nothing proves that you are not inspiring violence, like your fans threatening to kill everybody who says you are inspiring violence.

Nicely done deplorables.

      Jim Wright excerpts FB>" Scarborough chose to represent anti-abortionists because he agreed with their ideology.
      "Scarborough was elected to Florida's District 1 as a Republican congressman -- in part for his defense of anti-abortionists.

      That's right, he was Matt Gaetz's predecessor. Elected by the same hard right CONstituents and the same party who elected Gaetz. If anything, this area was even MORE hardcore right wing back then.

      As a CONgressman, Scarborough promoted the SAME REPUBLICAN AGENDA as Trump does NOW. The same one.

      He signed Gingrich's CONtract With America. Oh, yes, that's right, he was one of THOSE Republicans. Yes he was."
      "As a CONgressman, Scarborough was against EVERYTHING most of you believe in (you being being my regular, generally liberal/progressive audience)."Joe Scarborough actively helped create the modern GOP, both as a CONgressman and as a media personality. For 30 years, he was directly part of the ideology which made it possible for Trump to become president.

      And he'd STILL be supporting Trump if Trump hadn't turned on Scarborough's co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski. And if being Anti-Trump wasn't so damned profitable for him.

      This guy is NOT your friend.

      He's no friend of ANYTHING you believe in.

      He's a CON man, no different than Glenn Beck. He's just smoother and better educated."

    Inside Obama’s midterm campaign plans

    In his first year back in private life, the former president has struggled with how to challenge his successor, but as the midterms approach he's preparing to take on a bigger political role.

    I can hardly wait for President Obama to be more on the scene in politics again. I detest Donald Trump and find him a horrid individual in EVERY way!

    We ALL need the kindness, brains, patience and help of President Obama! Plus, don't forget that he is admired and respected throughout the world. Trump has none of those and that is why we hear him verbalize negatively about President Obama on a daily basis. Most of it falling on deaf ears, thank God!

    Cannot wait for impeachment or the resignation of Trump. He is not fit to hold ANY office in our government, much less that of potus!

    The Trump family, all of them, are not the only sick family. Now Donald Trump associates with the evangelicals, perversion and incest may be the bond that brought him to that religion. They certainly know about the cover-it-up parts.

    "The Republican Party, which means that by extension the federal government, is being run by a collection of feckless boobs. The incompetence of the GOP should not be surprising to anyone who has watched the House Republican majority create crisis after crisis that Democrats had to bail the country out of for years. The bad news for the American people is that Democrats aren’t in charge anymore, so the country is stuck with this team of incompetents behind the wheel."

      The NRA Is Part of the Trump–Russia Scandal Now

      The banker, Alexsandr Torshin, has close ties to Vladimir Putin, and the sort of shady connections one expects from an oligarch in the Putin circle. (He has been charged with money laundering overseas and links to mobsters.) Torshin is also a lifetime member of the NRA, hosted NRA delegations visiting Russia, has attended several NRA conventions, and has spoken with gun enthusiast Donald Trump Jr.

      Torshin is not the only link between the NRA and Putin. Last February, Tim Mak profiled Maria Butina, a gun-rights activist who has worked in American right-wing politics. At one Washington party immediately after the election, Butina “brazenly claimed that she had been part of the Trump campaign’s communications with Russia, two individuals who were present said. On other occasions, in one of her graduate classes, she repeated this claim,” Mak reported.

      Both Butina and Torshin have also worked with Paul Erickson, a veteran Republican operative and gun rights activist who has cultivated close ties to Russia. Erickson has called the alliance between the NRA and “Right to Bear Arms,” its Russian counterpart, a “moral-support operation both ways.” There is a genuine ideological connection between the right-wing ideology of the NRA and of many Russian nationalists, a strand of violence-obsessed authoritarian pan-European nationalism. Of course, if the support given Trump by Russians was not merely moral but also financial, it would violate the law.

    I hope they can censure Trump, it is good they are moving in that direction.


    Trump hates women, also, too. His front as a business man that hires women and loves his family is convenient. It is not the whole story.
