A Statement From Linda Ronstadt
Sept. 11, 2024
San Francisco
Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something.
It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit.
I don’t just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance — although there’s that.
For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum. Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers. It remains a humanitarian catastrophe that Physicians for Human Rights said met the criteria for torture.
There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.
Trump first ran for President warning about rapists coming in from Mexico. I’m worried about keeping the rapist out of the White House.
Linda Ronstadt
P.S. to J.D. Vance:
I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I don’t think the second shooter even fired a shot, thankfully.

Re: Ignorant Fecal Sack DJT
I can't help but suspect that there may be at least two types of people who might try to assassinate Trump: some who genuinely think that he is evil and must be somehow eliminated, either because they think he is either too extreme or not extreme enough for them, and some who hope that attempted assassinations will only further enhance his popularity and that of his stated views and may not even care if the attempt succeeds, as long as that helps further support for his and their extreme, anti-democratic agenda.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Re: Ignorant Fecal Sack DJT
Well, one of my back up reasons for hating on Trump is his outwardly vocal position of cutting off aid/arms to Ukraine. Reports say this would-be assassin is an over-the-top, fanatical supporter of Ukraine. It seems he tried to volunteer for their military but was denied due to his age. So, while I would love to see Trump lose his gravity and drift off into space, it would not be proper to call for or hope for his killing. But I do understand why this guy does.Gunnar wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2024 2:39 pmI can't help but suspect that there may be at least two types of people who might try to assassinate Trump: some who genuinely think that he is evil and must be somehow eliminated, either because they think he is either too extreme or not extreme enough for them, and some who hope that attempted assassinations will only further enhance his popularity and that of his stated views and may not even care if the attempt succeeds, as long as that helps further support for his and their extreme, anti-democratic agenda.

I think Yellowstone is on target on why somebody might do something as stupid as to try to kill Trump, delusional egotism.
Trump actually being killed would be bad for all of us.

I'm sure you've all seen or heard this by now. I want to put it in our little historical record here. Bold mine.

Does he know who his running mate is?“Well look, we admire Taylor Swift’s music, but I don’t think most Americans, whether they like our music or fans of hers or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans,”

Yeah. What a doofus Vance is. Open mouth, insert foot.
