    And someone will be blamed for it when it's time for it to stop.

    This doesn't seem to be the work of a criminal mastermind. There's a treasure trove of forensics. The packages, their location, the bombs style, the bomb making material. The printer that made those labels can be uniquely identified.

    Just hope nobody get's hurt before they catch this guy.

    Where did I say that?

    I don't like Maxine Waters inciting obstruction of anyone on the right. I'm not alone obviously, but I have no idea who the White Nationalist are that you refer to.

    BTW I don't like Trump's use of his 1st Anendment rights either. Being Free to say whatever you like, comes at a cost.

    As we are witnessing.

    I didn't know what Robert De Niro had said or done so I looked it up.

    De Niro strikes me as being a little unhinged these days.

    So, correct me if I'm wrong, but some posters in this thread seem to be implying that because some people have legally protested against Trump, or have legally called for his impeachment (as an example Maxine Waters is a member of the House and it is her legal and moral obligation to call for his impeachment if she feels it's warranted), or have acted in an unbecoming manner in a reaction to Trump's policies (such as DeNiro's comment), or because a lunatic shoots members of the Republican party, then all Democrats and liberals are to blame for another lunatic sending bombs to various political, and media personal in an attempt to kill them and or innocent people who get in the way..

    And Trump has nothing to do with this.

    Freedom of Speech. No reason to be upset. No reason to want to shut him up. Yeah let's go with that. He isn't a problem. Only those that don't like what he says are. Lets go with that.

    Here is a brief summary of how an impeachment process starts.

    The lower house of a legislature brings charges against a civil officer of government for crimes alleged to have been committed, analogous to the bringing of an indictment by a grand jury. At the federal level, this is at the discretion of the House of Representatives.

    So where has Maxine Waters done any of this? Running her mouth to her voting base isn't within a 100 miles or proper impeachment proceedings. Her obligation, moral of otherwise, has to be lodged legally through recognized legal proceedings.

    Consider yourself corrected.

    Until you stop endorsing their actions, you are condoning them.

    Yeah, freedom of speech, baby! You seem to be suggesting that if people say things that offend others, the ones who said it are fair game for assassination and brought it on themselves. Is that what you're trying to say? And how does that square with the Fox line about liberals suppressing offensive speech on college campuses?

    Waters doesn't have to introduce a resolution to impeach as multiple resolutions have already been introduced by others five times.
    She is perfectly within her legal and moral grounds and responsibility to merely call for and promote the idea. Not every House member has to introduce a resolution they support.
    Waters has been a leading proponent of Trump's impeachment. She doesn't have to introduce a resolution to do so as others already have including Al Green and Brad Sherman.
    In addition Pramila Jayapal (D-WA)[26] and Al Green (D-TX).[27], Justin Amash (R-MI) and Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) have called for his impeachment
    Consider yourself corrected.

    Yes they FORMALLY introduced impeachment proceedings. None of them are Maxine Waters. Key word FORMALLY and NOT Maxine Waters! No correction warranted.

    So with these efforts, ( which by the way are making what kind of progress?) where in the process does it say, if that doesn't work, throw a temper tantrum, tell the public to impeach, obstruct, resist and harass?

    Clue for you. If all if your cited efforts aren't working, their responsibility is done. DONE. Even after they don't like it the first time, they try and fail a second time in the case of Green, through normal channels. That's the proper process. Public temper tantrums and inciting obstruction of public officials isn't part if that responsibility morally or otherwise. Resign your position. Find a job in the real world where you don't have to follow government rules. But attempting to overthrow the rules, well never mind, that's all you try and justify doing so its moot to discuss its merit.

    You will obviously stay clueless to the clues given. And when people get hurt, you will remain clueless as to why. None of what will be the fault of the left.

    Have it your way. Piss off all you desire. It got Trump elected once. He is playing the left like the cheap fiddle they deserve.

    Take it that way if you prefer. You seem to feel like its perfectly OK to use Freedom of Speech to piss off anyone you like for as long as you like in whatever forum and format you choose, and people will have to tolerate it with no recourse. How's that working out for America? Freedom od Speech ain't free and isn't without consequence. You and your type are just trying to figure out how far it can be pushed. I think you're finding out.

    "You and your type" seem to be comfortable with using freedom of speech to piss of anyone you like. But if anyone else tries it, there'll be hell to pay. Bombers, okay. Charlottesville Nazis--fine people. But Maxine Waters? Beyond the pale.

    No.

    Not me.

    Not because I posted the De Niro clip.

    I don't imply that at all.

    I made no implication whatsoever.

    "Pro-Trump and Alt-Right message boards have already been put into high gear since the George Soros bombing, and began to push the line that all of the bombings were “false flags,” seemingly carried out by a desperate DNC to scare voters into punishing Trump. This talking point of “false flag” attacks, was then picked up by the far-Right pundit class, as Ann Coulter wrote today that “From the Haymarket riot to the Unibomber, bombs are a liberal tactic,” and on the radio, Rush Limbaugh was telling his audiences that Democrats were behind the bombings in order to win in the midterms, and now even Fox News has begun to back the conspiracy.

    In reality, in the last several years, bombs have been a favorite for the far-Right, militia movement, and Alt-Right. In 2016, a group of III%er militia members were arrested for plotting to blow up an apartment complex and a mosque used by Somali immigrants. In 2017, members of Atomwaffen were caught with materials for a “dirty bomb,” framed photos of Timothy McVeigh, and plans to attack a nuclear power plant, a III%er was arrested after attempting to blow up a bank in Oklahoma City, and Unicorn Riot revealed that members of the group AntiCom were trading information on bomb making materials and openly planning to attack federal buildings. This is to say nothing of the bomb attacks that have taken place against Mosques over the last several years." - IGD

    Bombers not OK. Arrest and convict. Charlottesville Nazis. If you mean the one that ran over the crowd in a car? Arrest and Convict. If I could arrest and convict those hiding under the Right To Free Speech that are causing trouble, I'd absolutely love to. Maybe we can find a president with the balls to do so. The right wing racist are no different than the left wing ones. You can't have it both ways. I hate anything the right wing extremist do. Equally as much as the left.

    Since you refuse to label yourself as a left, left leaning, left extremist, I have to use you and those like you. I think if I remember you called yourself a Neo Liberal label if my memory is correct ( I admit its hard to keep track of what all the left labels themselves)....yeah OK...if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck. I don't think there is a check box in the voting booth that says...I only vote for Neo Liberal candidates. You vote left, right, or independent. Those are the only options I know of. And since you show no signs of right or independent that leaves one flavor left. Neo blah blah whatever. If its a Dem you vote for it.

    Donald Trump, Maxine Waters, et all are not examples of who we need on the face of America. I hope we get a Republican that opposes Trump that stands on the same platform. I'd readily take him/her over Trump. Unfortunately Maxine Waters is one of the many typical offerings on the left. Deplorables...........thank you Ms. Clinton. They are coming to get you now. I hope it was worth it.

    No, "neo-liberal" is definitely not the right label for me. That refers to a believer in laissez faire economics, which used to be a Republican thing. Try progressive Christian. As for those who are "hiding under the Right to Free Speech that are causing trouble", start with the Prez and the troglodytes who respond to his "Lock 'er up" war chants. And where I come from, we vote Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, or whatever other party makes it onto the ballot. But only the Republicans win. John Kasich may run again against Trump, but he doesn't stand a chance because he's two moderate and reasonable. The Republicans will give us more Trum, and after that Pence, who might as well have phony stamped on his forehead. You might like to make Maxine Waters the face of the Democrat party, but I find that highly unlikely. But as it stands, you're right. I think the Republican Party has become so--you used the term--Deplorable that it's the patriotic duty of every American to vote Democrat.

    ME: Listen--you're welcome to mock my posts any time. I was wrong in asking you not to post---what the hell---this is america---post away. You have one thing right---my temper is constantly about a 64th away from being lost over what has/is happening to MY country. You give me no credit for knowing anything about politics, observer that I have been.

    By the way, I started working at 14 and worked 'till I was over 70. A serious operation stopped me , but I kicked ass until the day I was off the roof. I've worked in the oil fields, the auto assembly line, plastics molding , surveying, banking , etc. What I am saying--is that as a working man, union and non union, I know the difference between repubs and dems , how they view working people and what they do to keep them down.

    "They are coming to get you now. I hope "ït" was worth it!" Yes, that's become apparent.
