"Here’s what the people who love Trump don’t understand: He doesn’t love them back. I figured they’d be on to him by now. These are folks who feel anxious and left behind by the new economy. Many are struggling. Trump has a word for such people: losers. And he’s never had time for losers. He doesn’t have time to sit in their kitchens and go to their barbecues and listen to their problems. True, losers in the aggregate — say 12,000 at a time — get him to where he wants to be. But he’s always one squirt of Purell away from getting back on his plane so he can sleep in his penthouse. Never has an electorate been held in more contempt by its putative champion."

OK I'm stealing your post
 
It was Winston Churchill who when accused of ending his sentences with a preposition said " It is that type of errant pedantry up with which I will not put."


CCC.
 
So the Tangerine Totalitarian's latest demonstration of his fitness for office is that he incited gun owners to assassinate Hillary Clinton. Swell:

He actually went there. I didn't think he would. Good grief.

Now here comes the backtracking, the "I didn't really say that", and his supporters tying themselves into knots trying to explain that wasn't what he meant.

Doesn't he realize that the people he's encouraging to do this hate her enough that they actually would act on it? The Secret Service guarding this fool need to clamp down on this...right now.
 
Fucking hell.

What kind of moron says something like that in public? My seven-year old niece wouldn't even dream of making a joke about having someone killed.

Imagine what it would be like if he actually had any real power. Would he ask people to assassinate Supreme Court judges when they stop him from doing all the unconstitutional things he says he wants to do?

Yes, your niece probably would have gotten in big trouble if she said it at school.

All of this is one big farce
 
The spin has already started. He's saying now that of course he meant people who support the 2nd amendment vote against her, not shoot her.

Right, asshole. Whatever you say. Ugh.

Doesn't the asshole realize there are plenty of 2nd amendment supporters who are ardent supporters of Hillary?

Yes, if he actually meant "votes" he wouldn't have followed by saying that it would be a horrible thing. Votes would be a good thing. The murder of Clinton would be the horrible thing.

Will this finally make a difference? The secret service has to get involved now doesn't it?

"Second Amendment people" doing something was in the case that Trump lost the election, after voting is irrelevant. He wasn't talking about voting.
 
This is absolutely astounding. I expected a swift rebuke from all sides of the Republican spectrum, but you have some people actually excusing what he said. Unbelievable. And since he wasn't specific about calling for assassination, since it was sorta-kinda implied in a jokey manner, the Secret Service probably won't be hauling him in to explain himself. There's some wiggle room for him, since he said it obliquely. Sigh.....

I crossed enemy lines and looked at conservative blogs and websites to see what they were talking about, and they're all parroting the same lines about how the media is jumping on this to blow it out of proportion. But again, imagine if Obama had made some sort of joke like this. They wouldn't shut up about it for a year straight, and concocting stories of him recruiting a secret Black Muslim paramilitary organization.

In other news, apparently they are trying to spin some conspiracy about Hillary's health. She was photographed needing assistance while walking up some stairs, and she misspoke the other day and said "My husb--" before catching herself and saying "My opponent..."

Seriously? FDR was 70 years ago and the Secret Service had to do all sorts of things to help him in public. Of course, back then the press was actually somewhat honorable and didn't take or publish photos of him being carried, or the portable ramps, etc. But so what if she was unsteady on some stairs? If that is the sort of stuff they have to occupy themselves with, they know their nominee is going to lose. Sheesh.

What scares me the most about this is, no matter what he meant, if he loses the election (and I really hope he does), all it'll take is for him to say that the election was rigged, and some of his more ardent supporters might actually try and assassinate Hillary.
