Classy.

BTW: Isn’t that Kim Davis between tRump and his bodyguard?

I was just thinking that the supporters were starting to look more like Trump.

Playing on peoples fears and prejudices is such a tried and true political theme in American politics.

So much easier to protest Bernie Sanders, isn’t it? Of course there isn’t much point in protesting someone who is already on your side. And gee there are consequences when you protest, who’d have thought? Burning is over the line, but throwing them out doesn’t seem like quiet enough, maybe throw them in jail for a day or two?

shows how dumb Donnie’s supporters really are…

what he meant to yell was ‘tie him to the cross and then burn the cross’

his yell was muffled by the pillowcase he was wearing…

Every day of the Rump campaign, I grasp a little firmer why people are afraid to talk politics. The 30% odds of striking the nerve of some ash whole, who you were blissfully unaware is absolutely nucking futs, are just too great.

It’s just a little bit early for the cremation talk. Mobs have no patience, I tell ya.

Jeebus Condew, whose side are you on this morning? These people are doing a public service by calling out Trump on his fascist agenda, and you wanna throw 'em in jail for it? Or do you think that protest should always lead to jail time, if not beatings?

I do give credit to Trump for the uniforms his goons are wearing. Black shirts are so much more slimming than brown shirts.

If this was a rally open to the general public, then why jail time? If this was a private event, etc., and the protesters were not invited guests, then, yes, by all means, remove them in a timely fashion. Seriously, though, jail time for political speech at a rally? That doesn’t sound very pro-First Amendment.

Exactly. Who says Trump isn’t “for the black?”

(Oh, you meant “the blacks.” My bad.)

My snark meter must need adjusting, because that almost sounded like you were serious.

Still pissed at BLM because they were mean to Bernie Sanders ?

I think by Nov. the fear and Trump will be all over with.

“Over the line?” That’s an expression to use when your child pitches a fit at Toys R Us.

Setting a human being on fire simply because he was expressing an opinion at a political rally is generally regarded to be attempted murder.

Well, at least for now. Police shoot unarmed black people in the back and grand juries decline to bring charges. I guess the nation could progress to private citizens burning and lynching black people with similar disinterest resulting. Like Trump says, he’s going to make America great again. And who doesn’t want to return to the halcyon days of 1905?

Oh c’mon, this is the United States in 2015. You can no more “murder” a black person than you can “torture” a Muslim. These archaic perceptions of human rights will eventually fall out of favor and we can finally get on with the mayhem and genocide society craves. It’s pretty embarrasing when Rawanda is ahead of the U.S. on the curve of cleaning up minority problems.
