This says more about the thuggishness of the police union than it does about Trump doubling down on marketing himself to angry white people.

And when police kill an innocent person? Probably no penalty.

I did not know the President could decide to order Americans killed for reasons that he or she thought justifiable. They should bring back the TV show “Justified” with Donald as the lead character.

It says more about how little Donald knows about how the legislative process works, and about federal vs. state jurisdiction.

I’m pretty sure there already are penalties in place for this crime. But yeah, we might as well get summary execution out there for the mobs to salivate over.

If people keep listening to this idiot there will be police killed when the riots he is inciting break out.

Why can’t it be both, equally?

Also: `The union endorsed Trump at the event. 'Cos Trump will give 'em the death penalty and toys - never mind that he’ll get rid of collective bargaining and the right to strike. Idiots.

Lunatic fringe? Remember that line in the song?

If Trump had started his campaign thinking it would help his brand, things are back-sliding rather quickly. Petitions to ban him from foreign countries, Neteni’mayahoo even squashing his trip to Israel, golf courses and buildings shedding his name and no doubt more to come. I suspect when the ‘heat’ really starts to pile on and his brand sinks even more only then may he abandon his campaign.

Local Chicago TV interviews with Trump Tower residents had them scurrying away from the reporter’s cameras. The few that did speak ranged from dismayed to shocked. One can bet protests in front of Trump’s many properties will soon commence, making owners at condo buildings mighty damned scared. Heck, they are already worried that his antics will result in demonstrations and lowered property values as smart Americans shun his brand.

The FBI will revamp the system it uses to collect data on fatal police shootings. The count so far is that police have killed more unarmed people than Muslim Terrorists.

Oh FFS. Why are we even paying attention to this clown on sites like TPM?

Shouldn’t we just be letting the GOP fanboys have fantasies about Trump the Amazing’s (fantasy) Presidency, while the rest of us move on with our daily lives not having to know that the GOP has finally gone down the sewer drain at the deep end of that festering pool they’ve been swimming in.

What else doesn’t DT know about the how the US government works?

You gotta hand it to the jerk – he has a genius for judging exactly what he thinks his audience wants to hear and then delivering it.

Pandering at the highest level.

And shame, shame, shame on that union for jumping on his stinking, festering bandwagon.

Dr. Morbius (the Republican Party) should never have used the power of the Krell (Fox News, talk radio). They have released a creature from their id (Trump), and all the little spacemen (Jeb!) can shoot their lasers all they want, but they can’t kill him that way.

After announcing that he supported mandating bad things to happen to bad people, Drumpf was immediately presented with the George H.W. Bush & George W. Bush Joint Memorial Award for Empty Platitudes and Meaningless Bravado.

Congratulations, Chinchilla-Head!

because unless reality miraculously sets in and people realize who would really win, should Hillary lose the general, then the following ‘song’ still applies: Donald John Trump is leading all prelim polls that ask GOP voters who would you vote for in either primary or general election?

Again those polls are preliminary.

Again the GOP equivalent of ‘daylight’ involves Ted Cruz or Ben Carson.

However, Donald John Trump is leading any preliminary polls that ask GOP voters who would you vote for in either primary or election. Trump isn’t an establishment candidate, but until one miraculously appears for the Republican party, Donald John Trump is leading any preliminary polls that ask GOP voters who are you likely to vote for, either in the primary or the general election.

Hence the more that is known about a man who recently stated that there should be a shutdown on any Muslims coming to this country, the less people can come with ‘but i didn’t know.’, 'if only someone had put it out there that a non establishment candidate is currently leading most GOP polls.'

Government so small it will fit in the barrel of the gun used to execute its own citizens.

I’ve been thinking about gasoline stoves a lot lately. I think I found a market for them.
