- Reports are that mental illness may have played a part rather than outright hatred. Tragic all round.face_melter
- Surely mental illness is always going to play a part. I'm not sure there's a clear definition between illness and hatred strong enough to stab and shoot someone********

"Our leaders have to get a lot tougher. And be quiet. Just please be quiet. Don't talk. Please be quiet."
Trump tells the leaders of the GOP to be quiet. How do you think that feels? At this point, I imagine these GOP dudes must be punching walls and cursing him, in private.

I thought I was beyond shock with regard to Donald Trump. Not believing his sincerity about any hyperbolic, right-wing stuff, I figured he was cynically posturing to gain earned media, stir the pot, and out-republican the republicans. I anticipated the so-called "presidential pivot" to moderation.
But what he has said in response to the Orlando shooting has shaken me, and I'm now convinced that he actually is a fascist who would try to do exactly what he says. Stoking fears rather than assuaging them, claiming Obama sides more with the terrorists than Americans, saying that Muslim immigrants would "wipe out" the entire United States and that they are an existential threat to us -- all these are clear hyperboles with a nearly genocidal edge to them.
The man is unhinged, and I don't think anyone should expect that what he's doing is merely posturing. He's never going to dial it back, and the fact that he's continuing to indulge his provocative knee-jerk responses after becoming the presumed nominee is evidence of that.
What's left to see is whether America, in a general election, will get behind the flag of fascism, whether we will keel to our base fears of the other in the face of all facts and reasoning. I am nearly as afraid as hopeful.
- Think his words r bad? you should read up on Hilary, she's waged war, gotten people killed, broke fed law and the press doesn't investigate because shes female.robotron3k

Yeah there's really zero upside to the judge comments or the terrorism response.
I don't see how his supporters can defend this...it's dumb just from a strategic point of view to alienate people when you are already losing, your campaign running out of money, etc.
And Democrats are apparently just now about to unleash a huge advertising campaign in the major swing states, while Trump is off the air due to lack of funds.
He's either losing it after spending so long on the campaign trail, no longer gives a shit because he realized he doesn't want the job, or is secretly helping Hillary.
Either way it sure has been entertaining, imagine your grandkids asking about the time Donald Trump ran for President.
- Video is so good.********
- wait... out of funds?monospaced
- thank you Super DeluxeRamanisky2
- Amazing all the fears politicians, media, and some in the public are projecting onto him. Just a public figure before, now a representation of all that's evil.IRNlun6
- I'm ok with you all here not supporting him, just be aware that there is a huge effort to paint him in the worst possible light.IRNlun6
- ^ have to agree. Massive effort to focus on his words and ignore how corrupt and power hungry Hilary has been through her entire career... highly suspicious.robotron3k
- lol @ blaming the media... people view him as an evil bastard based on the shit he says, not just how the media is portraying itmonospaced
- Media is in no way a reflection of public opinion. Just watch how easy it is for Bernie supporters to switch to Hillary, who is completely counter to his ideas.IRNlun6
- Bernie and Hillary have much more in common than either of them do with Trump. So it's not that hard to see people switch.********
- And, since you brought up switching, a few weeks ago many elected Republicans were all "I'm not going to support Trump."********
- A great book on this is Ryan Holidays "Trust me, I'm lying." Click-bait media runs shit and it's extremely effective.IRNlun6
- A week later they were like "Ok, I'll support him but I will not endorse him."********
- turns out, IRN, that in this case, the media is reflecting the popular opinion... thing is, despite trump winning his party's vote, he isn't popular overallmonospaced
- sure, there are lots of people just like you who, but those outspoken media sources are almost all speaking their own, personal opinions about Trumpmonospaced
- Then a week after that they were all, "OK look, what he's saying is the definition of racism; he's a racist. But you know there is some good policy there..."********
- that video is fall down funny!kona
- the media is one thing, but the amount of people, political parties, nations, actors and comedians, senators and scientists are another altogethermonospaced
- and almost all of them can't stand this hateful piece of shit spewing his tirade of nonsense, lies and fascist rhetoricmonospaced
- LOL at how 'the media is portraying him'
...... LOL .... LOL again.Ramanisky2 - Clearly there is a grain of truth to his unpopularity. It's far more effective to dog-pile on those opinions rather than presenting non-biased view points.IRNlun6
- Regardless of how valid they are.IRNlun6
- Is the latest news about him true or not? Doesn't matter because it feeds into the narrative.IRNlun6
- Are all Dems after Americans guns and civil liberties? Doesn't matter.IRNlun6
- are there visual effects and edits during his live Rally's/speeches that I'm not aware of ??? what are you talking about????Ramanisky2
- Have you considered that people are against him not because of some conspiracy, but because they actually don't want an out of control maniac with noyuekit
- real qualifications or experience running the world's largest economy and military?yuekit
- I actually believe he is doing much better poll wise than people think. The tons of negative press that's being generated is going to be a blowback drawing morerobotron3k
- GOP voters come elections time. People forget they dogged Bush Jr. harder than Trump and he got elected also.robotron3k
- Of course I've considered that yuekit. I'm not discounting my own bias here either. Painting the opposition in the worse possible light is part of politics.IRNlun6

McCain: Obama 'directly responsible' for Orlando shooting
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. John McCain said Thursday that President Barack Obama is "directly responsible" for the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, because of the rise of the Islamic State group on the president's watch.

- Has President Obama been held responsible for anything?IRNlun6

- thanks, despite that it's just one mans live feed from one city, that's the first time when I got a slight idea what kind of people are supporting Trump.********
- To be fair, I think whoever collected it on storify probably added the "sane man" part.********
- I assume it goes without saying that everyone should take this for what it is: just some guy tweeting. In no way did I suggest that it's the absolute truth.********
