And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin got assassinated.

The VERY BEST take on Trump’s comment is that he is an idiot.

No it is not, it as a propaganda outlet for Russia

The Donald has his back to the wall and everything he’s tried has made the situation worse. He’s desperate and thinks that the only way to get back to his rightful place in this race, in this world, is to eliminate the cause of all his problems, like he’s done all his life. He’s smart enough (?) to try to hide this, to not let anyone now what he’s thinking or hoping. But it slips out. Just like everything he’s thinking slips out of his so-called mind.

One should think twice about taking a reply to GoET straight. :slight_smile:

Trump spokespersons and supporters were quick to spin his remark,
claiming that it was a reference to the voting power of gun owners.
Trump repeated this explanation later the same day, saying that there
was ā€œno other interpretation.ā€

Uh huh. Meanwhile, on this planet, if you become President its because you won an election. Just how do ā€œSecond Amendment Peopleā€ use voting power to stop Clinton when they’ve already lost the election? And why is it that ā€œSecond Amendment Peopleā€ the only ones who can do that?

I’m looking forward to the Press digging in on this one.

Pete, Trump doesn’t take comments back. That is a job for Katrina Pierson.

We will be lucky if the press even acknowledges trump made that comment. They won’t dig. They won’t care.

They don’t have time - too busy reading emails.

I remember someone telling John Dean ā€œit’s hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.ā€ Ummm…yup, it is.

If he’s criticized, now Drumpf will double down on these incendiary statements.

Either the Secret Service steps in and puts a stop to this, or we can assume they are a highly political joke. If you compare their actions with Bush as president against their lack of action during Obama’s administration, they have already pretty well demonstrated that they are very political, but so far, not just a joke.

Post it again…it should be posted often and in many places.

If it was just about voting, why didn’t he say ā€œVoters, you can exercise your constitutional rights to vote for a candidate who supports the Second Amendment.ā€?
Because that doesn’t rile the crowds like the raw meat, the greasy, gristly Trump Steaks he throws out to the drooling crowds.

Add to that, the fact that almost half of the US citizens have been brain washed to hate Hillary Clinton, so even those who don’t worship their guns are primed to assassinate her. The Secret Service needs to put Donnie in a cell for a few days.

Maybe not in this county, but it is currently the top news story on the BBC:

Peter King is a total cement head. There he was cozied up with the demented Rudy Giuliani, drinking up Trump’s gibberish at the convention with that serious face he puts on. He knows how lucky he is that his part of Nassau County is full of the ignorant, racist Irish and Italians who constituted the ā€œWhite Flightā€ out of NYC in the 1960s. His district teems with cops and firefighters who, regardless of how often the GOP tries to strip them of the Zadroga Bill funds, shows up like the braindead knuckleheads they are to vote for him, and other Republican dead-enders! Fuck Peter King!

Pete, call up trump and tell him he’s gonna lose to a girl.

Not exactly the top story but it’s there. Trump is now blaming the media for reporting his words.

He is saying the press is dishonest and that they twisted what he said…
Jake Tapper for one showed tape of trump speaking the words trump says were twisted. Trump says that Hillary wants to eliminate the 2nd amendment (emphatically not true. Plus a President cannot change the Constitution by fiat). Then he suggests that people can , if Hillary appoints judges they don’t like, take the 2nd amendment ā€œoptionā€. He didn’t say ā€œkill herā€ openly but the idea certainly was communicated.

But now the furor is all the fault of the media and not because of what he said…trump says.
