Post and run.

I remarked the very same yesterday.

[JediJones]

So what you condemned Obama for doing is okay if Trump does it?

Here is an interesting read. It helps to explain what is going on here.

My Dad’s favorite saying was “ If you are looking for trouble you don’t need a Bird Dog to find it!”.
Another was “ If you are looking for trouble you, you came to the right place!”.

Any word from Ted Cruz today about how the leftist BLM riots are all Trump’s fault?

[Mozilla]

It’s Bernie’s fault. His supporters are filthy socialists taking out frustrations at Trump rallies. It’s coordinated to make any fighting get blamed on Trump.

[Enlightened1]

That’s right great point and thanks.

[Jane Long]

And how despicable for CRuz, KSick and the feckless GOPee to be glomming on to the leftist media lies and false memes...by not condemning the thug, professional protesters.

[Jane Long]

I’m sure he’s condemned this leftist thug behavior, by these professional agitators, OR AT LEAST the lying MSM, by now. Right?

[Pravious]

Ah, the arrogant playbook of the left.

WE HATE YOU, THEREFORE YOU ARE GUILTY OF INCITING HATRED!

However, hatred of any LEFTIST is utterly unacceptable, homophobic, racist, knuckle-dragging, un-American prejudice!

Fighting back against the tyranny of the left is not permitted.
Arguing with them is not permitted.
We should be ashamed we even put UP a candidate against them! Who do we think we ARE?

SIGH.

I thought Lewandowski was absolved from this...

[rockinqsranch]

Some butt kicking can’t hurt his cause IMO. Seems to me we the people are tired of the leftist wussiness in our leadership.

[gogeo]

Exactly. Not conservative enough compared to, say...Mitt Romney, the grandfather of Obamacare? That "severe conservative?"

That's what we've come to expect from the establishment. I guess it wouldn't go over well to say we don't want him upsetting our apple cart, breaking our rice bowls, and he's VULGAR!!!

Good old Andy Still twisting words and putting words in the mouths of others. The perfect example of modern journalism and opinion writing

[Nifster]

Now that’s jus plain funny

[silverleaf]

what a terrible and dishonest headline

Thankfully any europeans who want to see Trump for themselves can watch his rallies on youtube and other social media and see him calling on the crowd to be “nice” to the agitators who are doing their foul vulgar damndest to get a reaction

Wow - awesome video !

Reaganaut1, the rectum who wrote this article, and Reuters might be participating in dog whistling and a conspiracy to deprive Trump and his voters from a lawful assembly.

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Also, any thugs disrupting an appearance by a person under protection by the Secret Service are violating Federal laws. It is a federal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison to protest anywhere the Secret Service might be guarding someone. For another, it’s almost impossible to predict what constitutes “disorderly or disruptive conduct” or what sorts of conduct authorities deem to “impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official function.
