Sounds like someone who shouldnā€™t be allowed to roam free in public.

But you did it. People saw you do it. The boy went to the hospital with a concussion. Oh wait. He didnā€™t jizz enough over the anthem so nearly killing him was more than called for & shouldnā€™t be seen as anything but patriotic.

Brockway allegedly has severe brain damage from a car accident.

ā€œHis commander in chief is telling people ā€¦"

The President is commander in chief of the armed forces, he is not commander in chief of the nation. One of the many things about which people have become very confused lately.

WTF?? There are witnesses or is he using the Nazi Defense by saying I was only following orders? That worked out well for those Nazis, many were hung or put in prison.

certainly a unique legal strategy ā€¦ wonder if it attracts attention from Trumpā€™s legal goons ?? - while the Trump flying monkeys would not have cared about the kid being assaulted - or whether he incurred permanent damage ā€¦ they may throw a little fit about the possibility that proof of ā€œPresidential incitement of violenceā€ could be established and verified in a court verdict if this brain damaged nut gets off.

Okay, so a man who has suffered brain damage severely injured a 13 year old because he thought the President told him to? I think someone has proven that heā€™s a danger to others and needs to be locked up somewhere. Oh, and Curt Brockway should be locked up as well.

Iā€™m sorry his own brain was damaged but you canā€™t go around breaking other peopleā€™s skulls.

ā€œBrockway [slammed] him to the ground so hard that he fractured the boyā€™s skull.ā€

Settle down now. Itā€™s not like he wore a tan suit or put Grey Poupon on a burger.

Iā€™ve heard of an insanity defense, but this is the first time Iā€™ve been faced with a stupidity defense.

Sorry, a brain injury isnā€™t a defense for violence against a 13-year old kid. Anymore than ā€˜taking orders from the Squatter-in-Chiefā€™ is reasonable. This is simply another example of Trump inciting violent behavior among his zombie army.

Enough!

As election day approaches, this type of cult behavior will continue and rise, because Trump has passed the line of conventional politics into cultism many many months ago. Whatever is ā€œoutrageousā€ here is matched and exceeded by feelings of Trump supporters as being ā€œTrue Americansā€

This is what this particular Nativist cultism does.

ALL respected social structures (and its movers and shakers know who each other are) have a duty to inform and educate the American Public as to the nature of this cult.

Trump sees re-election as the only way he escapes imprisonment. Heā€™s not out to establish innocence.

He is out to REMAIN IN OFFICE.

Out of Office, he will be arrested and subsequently imprisoned. In Office we have Russia-West. Trumpā€™s ā€œplatformā€ will be to exacerbate those feelings which would drive people to do what is described in this article. In conjunction with that, there will be strategies and tactics designed so that vote totals of Trump voters exceed those totals of people Trump will allow to vote against him.

This includes the actual tabulation of votes.

Given the activities of Mitchie Moscow, we could be well on our way.

As someone aware of the dangers of a Trump second term, I would not in the least bit feel comfortable going into Nov. 2020 unless the following occurred:

  • Trump is shown to be a depraved criminal, consistently and in a protracted fashion starting within three months from now and continuing into Nov 2020

  • An aggressive voter security system put into place which includes things like paper ballots, double-back-up systems and International Monitoring.

  • A minimum of 50% (DEMONSTRATED) greater voter turnout among Democrats

Bear in mind that if 100 posters came up with bullet points like I just did, none of them would have said the same thing. That is as much a function of our National Un-preparedness than anything elseā€¦And for the snark-kings here, I would take a long look at the danger Trump presents to us rather than quibbling among allies. Because, in the final analysis, besides proven trolls, all of us posting on TPM are fellow allies.

I consider fellow posters as fellow passengers of a ship subject to being sunk by an incredibly durable and effective adversary.

With regard to MY bullet points, that is assuming Trump does not resign first. Frankly, if Trump does not resign before Nov. 2020, he will have had at least 100 or so tactics to create a winning electoral vote total.

This man does not want to go to prison. ā€œEmperorā€ is better than ā€œInmateā€

FIFY, and to be fair they have been confused about this for a long time.
