Now back to the three monkey's analogy. Republican leaders lost their moral center as soon as they began to routinely accept Donald Trumps paranoid, narcissistic fear mongering. Instead of calling him out on it they saw no evil and heard no evil.
Certainly, these politicians spoke and continue to speak evil either by words or standing mutely next to Trump as he utters his contentious invectives.
We don't yet know who is responsible for the attempted attacks. It might be someone or group on either side of the political spectrum with an agenda, simply a disturbed or distressed individual or even foreign actors!
The bottom line is that Donald Trump has created a volatile atmosphere that like a bacteria infested "swamp" breeds this type of sub-human, aggressive anti-social behavior.
The time has come for politicians on both sides of the aisle to speak as one, rejecting Donald Trump's divisiveness which is turning friends and family members against one another.
President Trump has galvanized an army of blind followers who may ultimately with his help lead us into a civil war.
Let's all demand a bipartisan political committee of both houses of Congress joined by an armada of citizen representatives to reign in Donald Trump's self and nation destructive actions.
Then together move forward as a functioning democracy to the next level of political action needed to protect our nation's integrity as we prepare for the upcoming Presidential referendum barely two years away.
If we can accomplish this, then in 2020 we can hold elections in a measured way to determine the direction in which we wish America to head.
A final note: As Trump condemned the terrorist violence he made a point not to mention CNN by name. The credible mainstream and alternative press help keep America an informed and free democracy. His continual reference to fake news is gaslighting followers and poses a most serious threat to our faith in the fourth estate which is a vital cornerstone of a functioning democracy.
10/26/2018 UPDATE
SEE DONALD TRUMP'S RESPONSE BELOW!
As of this update 12 "suspicious packages" have been intercepted by authorities. According to mainstream media sources the packages (none of which have detonated) are being treated as pipe bombs.
Unquestionably these devices pose a threat to the intended recipients as well as all postal workers and others with whom they come in contact. Below a quote from Yahoo News posted earlier today.
"Authorities have recovered 12 suspicious packagesin a six-day span. All of the intended recipients have been outspoken critics -- and occasional targets -- of President Trump: Biden, Booker, Brennan, Clapper, De Niro, former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Eric Holder, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and billionaire philanthropist George Soros." (click on page 4)
