While we are smack-dab in the middle of a foreign crisis dealing with the torture and death and dismemberment of a journalist, someone who works for an American paper and is (was) a permanent American resident, a crisis where the President has been busy promulgating alibis and apologetics for the crown prince of a Middle Eastern autocracy …
… we get this. Trump (once again) making light of a GOP elected official who physically assaulted a journalist he found tiresome, lied about it, was convicted for it, and was still elected by his Republican supporters in Montana. And drawing laughter and applause from the MAGA-hat wearing mob assembled to cheer him on.
Remember this kind of thing the next time some GOP talking head pontificates about "left-wing thuggery" and "liberal incivility" and "inciting violence" and "mob rule."
Donald Trump Applauds Violence Against A Journalist – News & Guts Media
Once again Donald Trump has gone too far. With the world focused on the brutal murder of a Saudi Arabian columnist, the President brushed that aside to laugh at violence against a reporter. Trump was in Montana Thursday campaigning for Congressman Greg Gianforte. Gianforte pled guilty after body-slamming a reporter during his 2017 campaign for …
Sickening
I wonder how the crowd would have reacted if Trump talked about a plan to place troops on the NORTHERN border.
In Trump's favor, he has SOMETIMES said nice things about a presumably dead journalist who is employed by the "tax cheat" Jeff Bezos of the "failing" Washington Post.
Or maybe he just forgot that Bezos owns the paper.
Well, it's right. To be quite honest +ronald labranche, I'm fairly certain you would want violence to come upon whoever insults you. Besides, he's our president now, whether you adore it, or you despise it.
+no Trump is, in fact, our president — a fact that the US will bear to its shame for generations to come. So what? At a minimum, that's a call for electoral resistance to block him from doing further harm to the nation, the people, our society, and the world.
Ronald's screed was a little over the top. Your no-content all-private profile gives me little alternative than to think you're simply trolling. Aloha.
American Psyche, front-and-center. The kind of President that most Americans deserve, who isn't embarrassed by his own profound ignorance and gleeful boasting, rank and vulgar insults, and contempt of High Culture. Finally, the world gets to see what Americans are mostly made of, under the skin of their feigned moral dignity. There IS a God, after all! Thank you.
+ronald labranche the U.S. government is hypocritical …
Yes, and this trump has played golf every weekend he's been there in Washington, on his own properties to make moneys for himself in addition, and costing us over $60 millions directly, just for golf inside of 2 years, and yet the un-American, Hater-racist, illiterate bum is just too scared to even visit our troops overseas?? Bummer! And them all republicans are now just a bunch of lowlife, fascist, illiterate, Nazi/KKK bums with THEIR chief, Hater-racist/Nazi/KKK fascist dictator donald trump – who'd all been clamoring to do away with our American journalists/journalisms, American Constitution & Rights, our American pluralities, Americanisms, and essentially our First Amendment rights since over 2 years already now! ??? And this bullying, ignorant, uneducated stupid boy donald trump still has no clue what country he is anyways! He thinks he's one of Putin's lieutenants, acting out, and doing his master-mentor Putin's orders to appease his Putin in Russia! What a damned illiterate, hateful, and Anti-Constitutional, un-American stupid trump!!
+The Odyssey of Heart Except that this trend is not confined to the United States of America. Numerous European countries, who do not labor under the illusion of American moral dignity, have had their own rank and vulgar "leaders."
+no fake account. Fake person. How come 90% of favorable rump posts originate outside of the USA? How much do you get paid?
You pull +no 's covers and here come the sex bots. Predictable.
Not surprising in the least- this is, after all, the party of amerika’s assholes
NOBODY espouses more mob violence than the dems and their media reporters. Maybe if they become 'target's themselves they'll reexamine their positions.
+Jim Hanks boy are you swimming in a sea of delusion- trump has espoused physical assaults, violence and hate for years- wake the fuck up idiot
+Jim Hanks and yet another Russian stooge. Folks, this one's ISP is BeeLine. Pulling these assholes covers is a full time job. Every militia on social media promises to kill all that oppose trump. Even your grandmother if she happened to vote Democrat. We know who's threatening violence. Your just pissed we will not lay down for you and your Russian masters. Fucking bastards. Needtoimpeach.com

+Bode Osunsanmi, MBA I advise you lookup what fascism is… hitler was a fascist and a Nazi. Nazi literally means "National Socialism" and last time i checked socialism is of the left. It was the KKK and Hitler who supported Margret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood and the racists of that day supported minority babies being killed in the womb and they still do. I have to say that reading that paragraph you wrote has the be the most outrageous claim I've read today.
+John E. Bredehoft Yes, build the Northern Wall. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
+Paul magallanez that makes you smarter than every single dictionary ever published because they all say right wing party established in 1929 by Benito Moussalini. Party established as a bulwark against communism. What the fuck do we need ASE for when we've got you? This is what is wrong with your side. You are all dumber than a box of rocks. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/OUh8A2zVZ_0R7eMuzzPWi5dt-QkmXGpRzLNj_GBxCMKj_w_F6MNkiFoHSCxCp7cna_tYBRjsoA
There is no bottom! 👎🏻👎🏻
+American Patriot thank you
+R.T. Burke But then how will Montanans get cheap prescriptions?
As I see it, it is hard to believe that a putrid piece of trash like Donald J. Trump is the current American President…
Trump and his followers want the country to do as they do, and cater to and live for the worst sides of human nature.
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is charged one day with, among several other appalling things, incitement of violence. Trump is not a credible public figure. Or, reputable. Or, ethical. Or, a moral man.
There's another word for so-called President Trump's "governing", for the "alternative facts" championed by Trump and his supporters…it's called CRAPOLA! Trump willfully lies through his teeth every single day. Furthermore, Trump and his followers, including Republicans in Congress, don't give a damn about victims of sexual harassment or assault, or about the number of victims who've been slaughtered when one of us abused his privilege to own a firearm, or about the consequences of ever-worsening global climate change, or about fellow American men, women, and children with pre-existing conditions who now have potentially life-saving health insurance, thanks to the Affordable Care Act.
We'll see if the majority of Americans throughout the United States can still be rational, still be decent, and will VOTE OUT perennial liar and hatemonger, corrupt pervert and bigot, and utter stupid swine Trump and ALL of his useless, self-serving Congressional Republican enablers when the day arrives!
The opportunities are coming. We'll see. Starting on November 6th!!
Throw these clowns out of office & reform Pharmacare.
So is that "Being Best" or "Civility?"
The GOP is so fucking confusing these days.
+Jim Hanks Another no-face, no-background, 6-follower pseudoprofile. Aloha.
+Paul magallanez Another no-background, no-posts pseudoprofile. Who squawks standard misrepresentations about "national socialism" and abortion. Aloha.
+Dave Hill you know there was a certain socialist aspect to National Socialism. However, it had zip to do with the average German of the time. It was massive amounts of finance and governmental insured credit to huge companies like Krupp and Bayer and Porsche. These funds were given to ensure the loyalty of the German industrialists and to put the country on a war footing. That was the extent of it.
Hey, folks — I realize (boy-howdy, do I) how angry people are about Trump and his cohorts, and I'm not even one of his primary targets. But I do want to ask that anyone who doesn't have anything more to say than "Trump sucks!" try at least to keep it that terse. Frothing at the mouth (from the left or the right) may be cathartic, but it doesn't lead to engagement or to actually changing things.
+Dave Hill personally I don't believe that there is one single rump supporter who has any interest in compromise. Not a one. Faustian bargains are not in the offing. You cannot make a deal with the devil. All one can do is give a sense of legitimacy to those who don't rate it. Are you really ready to breathe dirtier air and drink poisoned water to placate those who will not be placated? I am not.
Just a little comment from a non-partisan down under … What happens if Trump succeeds in inciting the violence between "left" and "right" that he seems to be enjoining?
Does the term "Martial Law" mean anything to you lot? Look up just what powers the President has if he declares nationwide martial law. Then remember just what manner of man the current President is. You should all be worried.
+L Gorrie you raise a valid point. Life isn't easy and it is bound to get a bit harder for the foreseeable future. Best regards.
How can you trump worshipers who claim to be Christian go along with this HATEFUL, COMPASSIONLESS, SOULESS BULLY??? I was under the impression that Jesus Christ taught us to LOVE and SUPPORT ALL!!! These rageful rallies are just plain dispeciable!!! Go sell your FAKE CHRISTIANITY somewhere else, as you are a bunch of hypocrites like your CULT LEADER who are in desparate need of redemption!!!
It's time to change your repugnant leader's diaper which full of foul smelling waste matter. SHAME ON YOU!!!https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pgDIpgBrD5LLYvz9lyyAlmmEgiDdxW7Ec7dn-IXRuaPNjKZSZ_-4wGsBZUY6o-oYFC_llYY4hTA

PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
+Dave Hill the only kind of engagement l want with this is to cripple and destroy it. This is societal cancer. And as with medical cancer it has to be excised. If one must you cut off the leg to save the life. G'day to you.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2w45NkOMCASrhgBicItV0ttnHgAujWqcGebdCkHs3LyDoHgYV9In1_6sKEBqLMUUdK9d_LTzKQ
+Robert What are you going on about?
Sick response from a child at the helm of the United States. In psychology they say there are three stages that you have to grow through, one is your childhood then your teenage years then you become and ADULT. Trump has failed to become an Adult as he was a man that was spoiled, given everything he wanted through ruse or deception, was PROTECTED from being drafted and that is what YOU elected to represent YOU the PEOPLE, a pathetic political representative.
+Dave Hill about the suggestion that one would want to have a dialogue or engage these people as you previously suggested. Didn't you raise that point?
+Robert I was actually referring to even discussions and engagement with allies.
If there are Trump supporters who are actually willing and able to have discussions, great. But the frothing at the mouth style of comment turns off even people who might emotionally agree but want to actually discuss some of the points.
I also don't think it's all as simple as a binary "with us or against us". That's a Trumpian worldview.
+Dave Hill your point is well taken but circumstances do not allow for this type interaction. What you suggest might work in a civil world. But here and today what you ask is no more than divide and conquer. The alt right likes having any opposition fragmented and, in fact, that is their strategy. When the house is on fire you should worry about painting it after the fire is out. Or perhaps the enemy of my enemy is my friend. IMHO.
+Robert I understand your point, and it's a balancing act that people find different appropriate spots for. To me, it's like having a community meeting to discuss how to stop Trump, and having someone kick over the table with the coffee pot and cups screaming "TRUMP SUCKS!" It might feel good for them, but it's not helpful for everyone else.
For that matter, there are those who dislike Trump, but hear propaganda about how the Left is all violent and mobby, then see people (ostensibly of the Left) screaming incoherently or threateningly about Trump and his supporters, and end up either confused or washing their hands of the whole thing.
I'm not saying we have to be either floor mats or Vulcans about it.
Very presidential. My ass.
+Peter Rodriguez that is a very ignorant response to a debate that was going great until YOU put your five cents worth opinion. Comments like yours stir up controversy that goes with the people who lack the skills of reading prior to their posting a reply. We were not speaking of your ass it had no bearing in this conversation, take it and sit it somewhere else if your not happy, as it brings nothing to this debate.
+John E. Bredehofttrue american s would never let that happen friend..we got russia who would be more than happy to come down and possibly take a swing….now that is a crazy thought!!cheers
jacques latouque Since I live in the northern hemisphere of my country CANADA, I would prefer to be protected by Russia, than by the Americans who know nothing about justice, they favour WAR at every turn as they specialise in war weapons and have nothing else to trade with. Their minerals are depleted, Gold is hard to find so they go pilfer it from other countries, I wonder HOW much Gold is in Fort Knox, have you ever had an estimated value to what America is really WORTH. It would be based on population growth, as every American person being born today has an estimated value put on their heads, have you ever looked into that? I think not as we speak out without prior knowledge of days gone by, HISTORY plays an important part in our worlds, YET we never learn from it, we keep on doing the same mistakes over and over. Its like roll over you gods while I put this country back on its feet, INSANITY abounds, blah blah blah, I use the blah because words would be insufficient and I could perhaps write a book if I continued with my thought process. God Bless to those who live with a clear conscience.
