āSomeone grabbed a manās āMake America Great Againā hat and burned it,ā
OMGā¦Like Dresden but a hat.
This is going to happen a lot this summerāTrump encourages violence at his campaign events.
Drumpfās supporters think that being a beer hall putz is the same as pulling off a beer hall putsch.
Harbinger of Clevelandā¦ but with 2nd Aāersā¦ Waving yellow flags 'ānā StandingTheirGround.
Neither Cleveland nor Philly are going to paint a civil, mature picture of American politics for the world to seeā¦
The growing Trump bias of NBC/MSNBCās Katy Tur was quite apparent all day yesterdayā¦at one astonishing point she even told Ari Melber that Trumpās people would not like the Yom Kippur metaphor he used introducing her live in San Diego. Then, reporting on the protest aftermath later in the day, she would alternate descriptions, saying, for example, āviolent protestā then immediately saying ānot that violentā. Even Tweety corrected her description of the police-protestor interactions as a āclashā. If I was NBC Iād switch her to another campaignā¦
WACKO Donald J Trump and his goons just cannot control themselvesā¦dumb people just cannot handle the TRUTH!
Maybe a little Stockholm syndrome?
She has been on the trail with him for a long time now.
Richard Nixon was a savvy political operator and his fu*king operational plans seem to be a template for Hair Furorā. Nixon appealed to the angry and bigoted and hatefulā¦and so does Trump. And Nixon played to the fear of displacement, to the basest of tribalism in this multicultural society, in the social order ā¦and so does Trump. And then, of course, thereās a shared tendency to say things in anger or spite, without really thinking of the results, or worse, knowing the consequences, but still plowing forward and the consequences be damned. In a highly charged political atmosphere with rhetoric that inflames and exposes long-simmering racial and social prejudices and hatreds the results can be lethal and horrid and this is what Trump is unleashing. Itās base and depraved behavior and it serves to only add an element of unacceptable danger to our already volatile political process. It can happen in 2016ājust like it happened in 1970.
Like Tricky Dick, the only thing that matters to The Don is winning by any means necessary. Trump is the Great Political Chickenhawk, willing to see death and mayhem everywhere if he thinks he can exploit it for his gainā¦and only as long as he and his operatives are safely above it all, cheering it on.
Like so many of the early repugnant church leaders, Trump is willing to let āthe peopleā bleed for his gain. Tertullian said, āThe blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.ā The destruction in the streets is simply the āseedā for Trump; he sees himself as the good that will come from it.

Trumpās people have to be working her like sheās a Symbionese Liberation Army captiveā¦
This is a great example of lousy reporting: the article cites āindividualsā and ācrowdsā involved in the forays. But who provoked who, Iād like to know.
Even Anna Marie Cox succumbed briefly to the power of the McCain bus. I donāt remember any beret/Ak47 outfits though.
Iād like a bit more AK-47 in the reportingā¦But, Trump is clearly the seven-headed cobra.

I believe 1988ranger has the honor of being my āNazi!ā epithet hurler, vielen Dank!
Yeah, I think itād be a pretty big risk to book a Trump property right now.
Even his casinos. Dangerous. His hotels safe?
Why take the risk when there are nicer, safer places?
Excellent post, sherlock1 - itās amazing how quickly history is coming around to repeat itself. Crooks and Liars had an interesting post here about some really crazy people passing themselves off as Bernie supporters (which I refuse to believe are, indeed, his supporters)
The New York Times interviewed people at a recent Bernie Sanders rally. Among them, a 48-year old man who watched The Apprentice and thinks Trump would be preferable to Clinton.
āA dark side of me wants to see what happens if Trump is in,ā said Victor Vizcarra, who works in information technology in Los Angeles.
āThere is going to be some kind of change, and even if itās like a Nazi-type change. People are so drama-filled. They want to see stuff like that happen. Itās like reality TV. You donāt want to just see everybody be happy with each other. You want to see someone fighting somebody," he explained.
Vizcarra also added that he thought a Trump presidency "would be more exciting than a āboringā Clinton administration.
How could any reasonable or sane person think it would be okay to have āNazi-type changeā? Has reality TV really warped this nationās sensibilities that much?
No. For so much of the electorate it hasnāt so much as warped their sensibilites as manufactured them.
