#likewise i stopped caring about the subject of the post but the hypocrisy on display

[dostoyevsky-official]

it's astounding how left internet types of a certain ideological bend have kept quiet about the war only to come out of the woodworks now, again, to condemn the crimea bridge sabotage as "terrorism." every time ukraine liberates even a small settlement is bittersweet, because shortly thereafter some horrific mass grave or evidence of torture comes to light. russia blew up an apartment building for no strategic reason and killed at least thirty people yesterday evening—is that not terrorism?

BREAKING: Trump Issues Sick Response to Death Threat Against Hillary Clinton

Team Trump’s calls for “unity” and “peace” in response to the recent shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) have been nothing short of empty political rhetoric, as evidenced by the despicable MONSTER of a man that Donald Trump just invited to the White House. Al Baldasaro has repeatedly called for the political murder of Hillary Clinton, so Trump decided to display his brand of “unity” by inviting this fascist brute to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  

Nevermind the fact that President Snowflake just blasted Kathy Griffin over her recent photo shoot in which she held up a faux severed “Trump head” as a joke. Baldasaro has literally, seriously, and repeatedly called for the assassination of Hillary Clinton, yet Trump doesn’t attack him; he invites this wretch INTO the White House.

Baldasaro is a state representative in the New Hampshire legislature, and residents of the state know him as the most dogmatic of dogmatic ultra-conservatives who routinely resorts to inflammatory and vitriolic rhetoric. Accordingly, Baldasaro has made for an incredibly toxic political lap dog for Donald Trump.

“The president believes the best thing to do is to let the warfighters fight the war,” Steve “Sith Lord” Bannon just commented to the press. Likewise, it’s “warfighters” like Baldasaro who are endorsed by Trump because they can say the things that even Trump can’t say himself—like calling for Clinton’s murder.

“Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason,” Baldaraso said during the height of the 2016 campaign season. “I stand by what I said.”

Just let Baldasaro’s comments sink in for a second. Fox News tried to skewer Obama over getting spicy mustard on his burger in 2009, yet in 2017 the Right has no problem with Trump inviting into the White House a despicable man who has openly and repeatedly called for the assassination of the former leader of the Democrats.

This is unhinged hypocrisy of the worst variety. But Trump doesn’t care to distance himself from folks like Baldasaro because he ENDORSES their outrageous rhetoric, which should have all Progressives terrified.

So long as Trump keeps inviting provocateurs like Baldasaro and Ted Nugent into the White House, his calls for “peace” and “unity” are emptier than empty. Trump attacks people like Kathy Griffin for insinuating his assassination, but he empowers those who call for attacks against the Left.

Baldasaro was later investigated by the Secret Service for his sick comments against Clinton. That should tell you everything you need to know about just how inappropriate his friendship is.

Trump should immediately apologize for his decision to bring Baldasaro into the fold. If Conservatives want to make us Progressives answer for every last thing that some on the Left does, then we’re going to return the favor just as potently.

POLL: Is Baldasaro a bigot?

What’s your opinion on Baldasaro? Do you think he’s a monstrous bigot?

At this point, complacency is not an option. Please participate in our poll below and make your opinion count!

function googleBarChartInit() { google.charts.load('current', {packages: ['corechart']}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); function drawChart() { var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ ['Answer', 'Count'], ["Yes", 0], ["No", 0], ]); var options = { title: 'POLL: Is Baldasaro a bigot? results' }; var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById("poll_values_8164")); chart.draw(data, options); } }

The vacuum of morality and basic decency in the White House right now is utterly horrifying. The buck stops with Trump, this is what HIS vision for America looks like, and it’s ugly as hell.

The American people shouldn’t be subjected to this level of depravity, now or ever. Trump will answer for his outrageous abuses against the nation if we in the Resistance have anything to say about it.

Let’s get the word out on this one, folks. Please share this story on Facebook now!
