    "The emphasis on civility is not a matter of soft-heartedness or even etiquette; it is a hard-headed recognition of human nature and the dangers of unbridled toxic tribalism. We forget that at our peril."

    No one in politics or wingnut media made this guy send bombs. Period. What they did, instead, was superheat the political environment and flood crazy bullshit into the information space so regularly that unhinged guys like this think they're being patriots by sending bombs. /4

    Agree with this.

    If I were a gambler, I'd place a bet on a big democratic wave. Like 50 or 55+ seat gain. Not that I think that's the most likely (per se) but definitely feels undervalued.

    “This ‘BOMB’ stuff.” — The president of the United States.

    Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this “Bomb” stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows - news not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!

    Sounds like whatever new polling Trump’s political team has been telling him about isn’t good for Republicans. (If true, almost certainly due to a predictable ebbing of the early-mid-October GOP bear market rally than due to the recent news....)

    And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant tweeters whine by night.

    Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing, yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, “it’s just not Presidential!”

    At a fun book party for “Fight for Liberty,” a fine collection of essays by , and many others who are truly...fighters for liberty. A rare book party: the speeches are interesting, and (under the guidance of Kasparov, who’s used to speed chess) short.

    And the aftermath of the glorious hour: "Henry the Sixth, in infant bands crown'd King Of France and England, did this king succeed; Whose state so many had the managing, That they lost France and made his England bleed."

    Today is St. Crispin's day! The occasion for one of Shakespeare's most beautiful speeches, for Henry V's most glorious hour, his totally sublime, suicidal regicidal radiant speech that was also a big fat lie.

    Is this just a way of harmlessly (one hopes) humoring the president? It will be interesting to see the military orders, to learn whom the logistical support will be supporting, what the aviation assets and the military lawyers will be doing, etc.—and how much this show will cost.

    Hundreds more U.S. troops will be heading to the southern border, likely including active-duty soldiers, U.S. officials tell me, confirming a report by . Pentagon will send logistical support, aviation, doctors and lawyers, but no "trigger pullers."

    Beyond all the whataboutism and both-sides-ism and learned sociologizing, we shouldn’t lose sight of one core fact: The president’s behavior is an utter and total disgrace.

    There are many people who are, I think, patriots working in the Trump Administration. They aren’t personal servants of Donald Trump. They hold senior positions in the U.S. government. Whatever Trump says or doesn’t say, these officials can speak up and can speak for the country.

    A demagogue’s gonna demagogue.

    A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!

    Kinda sad that just 15 years ago a bomb scare like this would've caused us to immediately suspect our international enemies and today we immediately assume it's our fellow Americans.

    I saw Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer had a joint statement yesterday. But wouldn’t it have been better to have joint statements from Schumer and McConnell, and Pelosi and Ryan? And couldn’t Trump have invited Presidents Obama and Clinton to the White House for a joint appearance?

    "I’d like to punch him in the face" "Maybe he should have been roughed up" "Part of the problem...is no one wants to hurt each other anymore" "I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will" "The audience hit back. That’s what we need a little bit more of"

    Trump: "Acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America."

    ----> has a question for Hugh Hewitt: "If winning the decisive battle for the Supreme Court was the reason you held your nose and voted for Trump, will you start advocating for a less depraved alternative to lead the Republican Party in 2020?"
