Yet another incident of racially motivated, domestic terrorism has been met with a deafening silence from the Tiny Tyrant. In the Splintered States of White Nationalism, our president willfully ignores every instance of white nationalism, white supremacy, racism, Islamaphobia, and refuses to face the fact that domestic terrorism is by far the greatest threat to uStates citizens. This happens when you install a white supremacist, Nazi cabinet in the highest offices, people who have no problem whatsoever with domestic terrorism, as long as it doesn’t accidentally take out any white people.
The racially motivated violence in Kansas comes amid an explosion of hate incidents since the election.

Trump has established a pattern of trying to capitalize on incidents that reinforce his Islamophobia and fear-mongering about “inner cities,” while ignoring violence perpetrated by white supremacists. He has still not publicly denounced a January 29 mass shooting at a mosque in Quebec City that left six dead and was reportedly perpetrated by a white nationalist, anti-immigrant fan of his. Instead, days later, he tweeted about an attack in Paris that left one person with minor injuries.
Research indicates a person in America is far more likely to be killed by a right-wing extremist or white supremacist — like the one who allegedly opened fire on Wednesday night in Kansas — than a Muslim terrorist. But three days after the Quebec City mosque shooting, news broke that the Trump administration wants a federal counter-terrorism program to stop focusing on violent white supremacists and any other extremist groups not comprised of Muslims.

I’d be curious about the rate at which former military are involved in violent crimes. Maybe Trump should be pushing to keep them from coming back into the country. See how that works…
Or we could just stop creating wars…
Well, I just heard Trump wants to finally win something big, probably a war…
In the meantime, the BBC just reported the massive number of hate crimes against migrants in Germany:
Germany hate crime: Nearly 10 attacks a day on migrants in 2016
Just like all the massive crimes against migrants here. At least the German government isn’t terrorizing migrants, like ours is doing.
Our government had told the DOJ to stop investigating the people who commit such crimes.
Let’s make that “isn’t terrorising migrants at the same level the US does”. “We” have recently decided that Afghanistan is such a safe place we can deport refugees back there…
