“Stochastic terrorism is inciting violence through rhetoric, but not explicitly. Instead, stochastic terrorism foments violence with implicit calls to arms and dog whistles, knowing that someone in the audience will eventually execute the implicit call. So the violence is ‘statistically predictable but individually unpredictable’, and, importantly, the speaker can plausibly deny any connection to the bloodshed.” —Rachel Laser, head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State
And if you believe THAT huge pile of Horse Puckey, I have 500 acres of Prime Oceanfront Property just 10 miles outside of Des Moines for sale, along with a really nice bridge with a GREAT view of Brooklyn.

In 2017, the White House’s National Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense survived the transition from Obama to Trump intact. Its mission was the same as when the Obama administration established it after the Ebola epidemic of 2014: to do everything possible within the vast powers and resources of the U.S. government to prepare for the next disease outbreak and prevent it from becoming an epidemic or pandemic. They set up clinics in hot spots all over the world, whose job was to monitor the local situation and immediately send for adequate help to contain any threat. One of those clinics was in the Chinese province where Covid originated. One year later, the Trump White House dissolved the office, as part of the budget cuts needed when he cut taxes. The job of a White House pandemics office would have been to get ahead: to accelerate the response, empower experts, anticipate failures, and act quickly and transparently to solve problems. It’s impossible to assess the full impact of the 2018 decision to disband the White House office responsible for this work, but it is clear that eliminating the office contributed to the federal government’s sluggish domestic response. What’s especially concerning about the absence of this office today is that it was originally set up because a previous epidemic made the need for it quite clear. When asked about the slow roll-out of coronavirus tests in the U.S. on March 13, President Trump responded, “I don’t take responsibility at all.” Trump is not just responsible for it. He owns it. The Trump Plague is not just his responsibility. It and all the problems it caused are his fault.
Heard on the news last night that the orange thing has issued another threat to our country. Why is he still allowed? For those who ask, allowed anything.
Evil, ugly, corrupt, lying, cheating, worthless pile of humanity, lock him up. Not the Iranian, the fat one to his right. Remember, November is coming, get ready, this is our chance to VOTE REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE. IT’S THE ONLY LEGAL WAY TO BRING THEM DOWN, VOTE!

The former guy is a dangerous sociopathic narcissist and loves the hateful chaos he creates. It makes him feel validated and important.

can you imagine trump actually using the word rhetoric in a sentence, much less knowing what it means?
