>He's trying to calm people down and save lives. Just today Trump retweeted an image of a train running down a CNN reporter. The guy is a fascist lunatic who constantly eggs on his base into violence.

> Just today Trump retweeted an image of a train running down a CNN reporter. Where'd you get that? Earlier today to get caught up, I looked at Twitter for the just three people I follow, one of whom is Trump, and saw no such thing. Just now from your post, I looked again and again saw no such thing. There's some lack of communications here somewhere. > The guy is a fascist lunatic who constantly eggs on his base into violence. No facts, references, evidence. Just the same such nonsense we are flooded with daily from the NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC. It's all just nonsense. It's just Goebbels style "repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it.". It's a lie. You believed it. You repeated it. For your "fascist", Goebbels was a leading fascist, Nazi, the chief propaganda minister of Nazi Germany. It's ironic that you are using the technique Goebbels used and explained. Goebbels went on to say " ... and eventually you will believe it, too.". As bad as Goebbels was, and as bad as a lot of his propaganda was, it appears that he had some understanding of propaganda. Now what Goebbels understood has been borrowed; apparently it still works. It sucked you in.

  You've been abusing Hacker News with repetitive, political ranting and it has to stop or we'll ban the account.

    You are very badly confused. E.g., for separate responses to my posts, I give separate responses, and they, sure, sometimes contain the same arguments. Nearly no one at HN makes responses just by giving links to other posts of theirs. Sure, maybe I could wait two days, collect all the responses to my posts, and make one big response with no repetition. Bytes are cheap; you are just being politically biased. You are ruining the reputation of HN for objective communications. And your reading comprehension sucks: My posts were actually NOT about politics but about the newsies, and what I said about the newsies was very solid material, e.g., back to Jefferson's statement which was stronger than mine. You wouldn't like Jefferson, either, right? Looking at your posts, you have a strong political bias and are not at all rational or objective. You are hurting HN. You are a petty dictator. You are threatening me, with 2260 karma, based on NOTHING WRONG. I request a review by Paul Graham.

> Just today Trump retweeted an image of a train running down a CNN reporter. It was a CNN logo with arms and legs being run over by (well, hit squarely by the front of) “the Trump train”; that's different than a train hitting a reporter, though in horrible taste from a President at any time and especially inappropriate given its actual timing.
