I don't mean to trivialize this or minimize the significance of home grown jihadists here but do you know who Frank Gaffney is? The link is to his "think tank" and his poll.

Toward the end of my career some analysts in training would use Wiki as a source of support for their report draft sections. I was always gentle, but firm, with them.

Wikipedia isn't particularly trustworthy but it's easy and wrt to Gaffney, pretty spot on. There are other sources like the BBC that you might find more acceptable. They think he's a crackpot too.

A list like that is obsolete the moment it's completed.

That has been my point but it has never even registered with the anti Trump folks here. . The hate is so complete, blind hate they call it I guess, that either you also hate him or you are stupid, ignorant, insane, uneducated....

Now I can understand it to a degree because I felt the same about the lovely Sarah. I felt her an insult and real potential danger. She made up my mind to not vote GOP that year. But Trump is not an idiot like Sarah and the cries that he is crazy is pure hysteria.

Indeed he has caused a divide. This cannot be disputed.

This country truly is fucked.
nothing has changed

every candidate makes crap up, twists truths till it's objectively a lie....

and all there minions accept it and write about the lies of others.

Nothing out of the ordinary dastardly about Trump. The hate he receives is however.

Just a question... If you worked with someone who was a bully and was belligerent and who constantly lied...would you like that person? Would you think that person was suited to promote business with others?

You see..... My dislike of Trump is not blind at all. If I met any Joe Schmoe on the street or in my life who was a liar and a bully and was belligerent, I wouldn't like them either and would consider them unfit for the type of employment that requires responsibility and accountability.

So..... You are wrong when you refer to blind hatred. Trump has given us plenty of reasons to dislike him.
