Stupidity

[fasteddie]

From today's Rochester D&C Letters To The Editor .  Apparently the writer didn't get the gist of the speech ! Trump was insinuating that 2nd Amendment People could stop Hildabeast by Voting ! 

Trump deserves condemnation

On Tuesday, I was appalled to hear Donald Trump suggest that Hillary Clinton might be dealt with by guntoting maniacs after the election. Although this statement was defended by various Republicans, there is no defense of such a violent suggestion.

Watching House Speaker Paul Ryan defend Trump’s statement as a “bad joke gone wrong,” was deeply upsetting. Ryan’s continued support of this unqualified and irrational individual makes me think that he does not put his country first, but only his party.

I love this country, and believe that we Americans are at a perilous point in our history. The suggestion that anyone might resort to violence to prevent an elected official from serving is truly frightening and abhorrent, and deserves universal condemnation.

Idiots!! I knew what he meant when he said it. Where was the media when Biden talked about still having a Beretta to use if anyone came after his shotgun?

I don't think he was actually suggesting someone take her out.  His problem is that there have been so many examples already of him saying outlandish things, that it's easy for some people to believe he would make such a statement.  The most recent example is his accusing Obama of actually creating ISIS.  When questioned afterward about his statement, he clarified that, yes, he did in fact mean to suggest that Obama created ISIS.  Then, the next day, he claims he was just being sarcastic.  He is his own worst enemy.  This is why he has the reputation of being a loose cannon.  I'm all for the non-PC approach.  But, I think he uses the PC angle to cover for the fact that he really is a loose cannon.

Perhaps Obama and Clinton did not directly create ISIS, but they absolutely created the power vacuum in the ME that allowed ISIS to grow and flourish. Whether that was intentional or not is up for debate.

As far as the 2A comment controversy; Obama, Clinton and Biden have made similar remarks in the recent past. The difference is the media coverage and blatant bias, rather than the actual statement.

[virgil]

The question about whether or not Obama created the vacuum is debatable and a matter of opinion.  The point is that Trump was specifically asked if he meant to imply that Obama had created the vacuum, and he said 'no, I meant that Obama is the founder of ISIS'.  The interviewer actually tried to help him.  But, he was too stupid and arrogant to take the interviewer's help and soften his statement a bit.  It wasn't until later that he decided to change his story and claim that the whole thing was just sarcasm.

The invasion of Iraq by the last brain-dead republican to sit in the Oval Office was the direct cause of the power vacuum that resulted in the creation of ISIS. (This just one of the many reasons brain-dead republicans should never be elected president)

Fact Check: Were Obama and Hillary Founders of ISIS? You Bet

Quote

Thanks to Judicial Watch, we now have an August 2012 defense intelligence report on the civil war in Syria and the situation in Iraq that openly states that the policy of the United States and its allies was to support the Salafist opposition to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

That opposition, at the time spearheaded by Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), soon morphed into the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, ISIS.

The report appears to have originated from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) in Iraq, well before their intelligence product was tarnished by political interference from top commanders in 2014 aimed at diminishing the threat from ISIS.
