Trump: “I would never condone violence.”

Except when you do you fucking ass hat!

Trump: “I’d like to punch him right in the face.”

Trump: “If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you?”

Trump: “Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise. They won’t be so much, because the courts agree with us too — what’s going on in this country.”

Their inspiration should follow them.

Trump is more subtle. He encourages violence, but does not condone it.

I think the story needs to mention that Trump’s initial response was simply ‘‘my supporters are passionate, they love this country’’, devoid of any condemnation or even distancing, to accurately reflect the events.

These asshats had some history of anti-immigrant “hostility”, so they were eager and willing recipients of Drump’s hateful spew. Hardly the only ones. They’d best find themselves some homeboys from Southie real prompt-like in the slam - there may be a couple of brothers (and hermanos) from Roxbury/Mattapan/Dorchester who’d like to discuss their attitudes with them.

Trump: “In the old days … they would’ve been carried out on a stretcher.”

Yeah, Drumpf’s a regular modern-day Ghandi.

Advice for hate filled would-be thugs-find a Democrat to admire. Anything but a “Republican or a religion on the sleeve Christian”.

In GOP parlance, he supports the idea but doesn’t endorse it.

TPM:

Two Boston brothers who claimed to be inspired in part by Donald Trump’s views on immigrants were sentenced to state prison after admitting they beat a homeless Mexican man because they thought he was an illegal immigrant, authorities said.

Don’t worry boys, I’m sure the Trumpenfuhrer will send in good lawyers to save you any minute now.

Poor sots. In a parallel universe they might be Matt and Ben…but not here.

Yup, waiting for the check to pay for the brothers’ defense. That should be a public event much like publisher’s clearing house or the lottery.

In the meantime, their mother must be so proud of her boys.

Trump tweeted. “I would never condone violence.”

Much easier to set up industrialized deportation processing centers that stereotypes, dehumanizes, and denigrates people. Perhaps he would offer anyone accused of being an immigrant a choice, “be deported or get a punch in the face, although I would never condone violence.”

I’m sure she is. People like this have to be raised that way to be people like this.

White-supremacist’s are the largest prison gang in US. They’ll find a Welcome Home (because I’m pretty sure neither of them are new to jail) waiting for their sorry asses.

The old “he told me to do it” argument didn’t work with your parents when you were 6; it won’t work with the criminal court system for adults.

Says a lot about Mary Trump, don’t it?
