Plain clothes or fancy they all have that put-upon Trump scowl…

I’m sure they’re vigilant in watching for “furtive movements” amongst certain types of attendees.

Josh Marshall, TPM Front Page:

With news out now that the Trump Group has plain clothes security officers circulating through the crowd to identify and remove potential protestors, how close a look you figure 20-something African-Americans get?

My guess? Just close enough to identify their skin color.

Looks like this guy, Eddie Deck, works for XMARK (http://xmark2.com/exec.php), a Dutch security firm. Be nice to see TPM unwind this. Mighty fishy.

  • Beat me to the punch, too. Brown shirts – call 'em anything – but their job is to intimidate crowd members who might ridicule or otherwise challenge the speaker. Sad so few persons would even know what we’re talking about.

The Pantone Industrial Color Catalog identifies it as Pantone PQ-17-1115TCX Trump Shitstain.

I think you are drawing the wrong parallels here.
Trump does not equal Hitler. He does however equal Mussolini, so “Black Shirts” not “Brown Shirts”.
Seriously, compare a Mussolini news reel with Trump sometime. It is uncanny how he has matched Mussolini’s mannerisms and facial expressions.
Ted Cruz on the other hand…That fucker is a stone-cold Christio-Fascist who would send everyone who refused to sufficiently worship him to the ovens without batting an eye.
Trump says: I am smarter and richer so I get to be President and anyone who does not agree is a loser.
Cruz says: I am chosen by God to be President and anyone who does not agree is a servant of the Devil.
Which one scares you more?

same problem with any caucus… without the right to vote privately, whenever there are loyalty pledges and litmus tests, democracy becomes a game of big bullies on little thrones, moving the pawns they control.

What is the process color equivalent of that?

In a stand your ground state, I can see this ending badly.

I don’t know. How would I find it?

(You know, I’m geeky enough that I actually looked up a suitable shade of brown for Trump’s brownshirts in the Pantone catalog, though of course I gave the color a more appropriate name. However, I draw the line at researching color process equivalents just to extend an already semi-abstruse joke - especially after I already spent 15 minutes researching it and got nowhere.

Hell, even fucking Pantone doesn’t have CMYK or RGB equivalents for PQ-17-1115TCX)

Wonder what Der Fuhrer Drumpf would have done to some pissant Rep who shouts “You lie!” during his first SOTU address?

I’m a republican and I only ever wear plain clothes. It’s a sin to wear the latest Mossimo.

Not much difference between the two, Hitler was a fan of Mussolini

There was a HUGE (not “YUUUUGE!”) difference between Hitler and Mussolini.
Mussolini only blamed “Communists” for Italy’s problems (sound familiar?) and was the darling of the Monopoly-Capitalists. Mussolini drove people out of business or ruined their political careers or hounded them from Italy (and looked the other way as his “Black Shirts” fought gun battles with the Communists.) Mussolini was an ultra-nationalist but he left the Jews alone.
Hitler brought in the eugenics and race hatred and the “Master Race” concepts from German Wagnerian tales.
He murdered millions of his own people who “didn’t fit the plan”. Hitler was a genocidal messianic.
Therefore:
Trump = Mussolini
Cruz = Hitler
