OK, This Trump Thing Isn’t Funny Anymore
THE DAILY BEAST ^ | 08.27.15 | Barrett Holmes Pitner

Posted on 08/27/2015 7:26:09 AM PDT by McGruff

As his poll numbers steadily keep him in a comfortable first place in the crowded GOP field, and he packs stadiums—receiving raucous applause in Alabama and along the Mexican border—his fiery and divisive rhetoric has taken on a new meaning. His positions have now become the focal point of the GOP field and all candidates must respond to Trump before they can proceed.

What he and his supporters say can no longer be considered a joke. During his rally in Mobile, Alabama screams of “white power” could be heard from the audience. And last week, two white ex-cons from Boston beat up a homeless Hispanic man, and upon their arrest they told the police, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”

“Trump stands for building a wall, Steve. A wall.”

Maybe right now he does. But given his continual shifting of opinions, that may not be the case in a year from now.

But if you’re OK with that fact that he NOW favors building a wall, well that’s fine.

After reading it a couple more times, I believe you’re correct.

IF....there WERE any screams of “white power” they were merely responding to 7 years of racial rabble rousing perpetrated by Obunga and all his sychophants. Trump/Cruz 2016!

Personally, I advocate for a right-wing reactionary fascist tyranny, with the hanged bodies of leftists decorating the streets of every town, and full-to-capacity Lubyanka-like torture facilities, with the leftists constantly screaming in agony, and a radio channel dedicated to broadcasting their screams for all to hear. I advocate right-wing death squads screaming through the cities on souped-up motorbikes, gunning down anyone even suspected of harboring a single left-wing thought, in broad daylight.

That is today’s typical journalism, invent a scene or situation that no one can disprove.

I know you mean that to be amusingly funny, but we are watched by the Left and that kind of humor would just cause them to say, “See, we told you so! Those right wingers are fascists!”...............

That was the stupidest reply you could have come back with.

Fine. If it comforts you in the midst of this no-borders, no-country, mass invasion of criminals, rapists, murderers, child molesters, gang bangers, drug cartel sociopaths, America-haters and parasites, to fantasize that Trump will become an amnesty-advocate, you go with that.

Anything to make yourself feel intellectually superior, right Steve?

“OK, This Trump Thing Isn’t Funny Anymore”

Yes, actually, it IS!

I am enjoying this new gift that The Donald gave me, a brand-new Schaedendreude, fresh off of the assembly line. It has GOPe, lieberal and GOPe heads exploding, which is its own reward.

Next on order from The Donald, several dozen pounds of the finest popcorn kernels for the remainder of the election season, with a free bonus next November if he wins.

Well, they better get used to it.

In 1965, the Democrats under Ted Kennedy passed an immigration bill that put white Americans on the path to being a minority in their own country - a trajectory that accelerated after the 80s amnesty and the failure by the Washington elites to secure the border. The threshold date is supposed to be 2050: the date when white people will no longer be a majority in the country they built.

And today we are seeing glimpses of that future: St. Louis burns, fueled by the “hands up don’t shoot” lie, illegal aliens shielded from deportation by Obama’s imperial edicts gun down Americans in broad daylight in our cities, a black man citing phantom racial grievances targets and executes two innocent white reporters on live TV and the national discussion is not about race, but the need for gun control, manufacturing jobs are sent overseas, and formerly well-paying jobs (like construction) are handed to immigrants while middle class wealth declines.

No one asked me if this was the future I wanted for my children. No one asked any of us. We never had a debate about any of this.

Well, I’m going to resist. I’m going to resist on behalf of my children. This cycle, it means supporting Trump. I don’t think he’s going to win, but at some point a charismatic populist candidate is going to come along soon who is going to speak, clearly and unapologetically, to white dispossession, and when happens, watch out.

I know you don’t but they take stuff out of context all the time. I don’t care what they say either, but let’s not give them ammunition in the meantime.....................

I did an experiment the other day with google. I posted something on FR that contained a word that would not be found anywhere else on the entire internet, because I just made it up. I googled the word, and my post immediately came up, and no others on the entire internet. We are being watched..............am being I paranoid? Yes. even paranoids can have real enemies.............

Did The Donald say that they were passionate?

Yes, or no?

"screams of “white power” could be heard from the audience"

1. Were these caught on tape? Remember the similar accusation that someone at a Tea Party rally shouted "nigger" at a black congressman, but no one caught it on any of the dozens of cell phones and microphones that were present? That one incident or non-incident was used to portray Tea Party people as racists for evermore.

2. What about the expression "black power" - is THAT offensive?

3. Shouldn't whites have any power? And if expressions of racial identity and solidarity are legitimate for blacks and Hispanics and Asians, why are they not ok for whites?

"Whats wrong with “White Power?....people are doing black power fist in the air crap all the time...?"

During protests over just about anything, Leftist organizations OFTEN display signs depicting a clenched fist, and the media treat it in a very ho-hum manner - it passes without comment. Can you imagine the outrage, the cries of impending fascism, if conservatives did the same? Suddenly the pencil-necked media would find the clenched fist to be "scary."
