Trump has been at the Al Smith Dinner as a guest in the past. He has made some impressive donations to Catholic Charities assisting the Archdiocese in providing corporal works of mercy. He was well aware that this night is about the absence of political combat. A time to, however briefly, come together in humor, fellowship, and commom cause. Even Barky kept his inner snark on a short leash. Donald Trump treated this night no different than his rallies. But what is acceptable and entertaining at those events was not appropriate in last evening’s setting.

Did you see Hillary's speech? It was of the exact same tone yet you're not criticizing her.

[statered]

LMAO. Barky kept it acceptable?

Do us a favor and depart to the Lindsay Graham board. We’ll do the work of trying to save civilization for you.

Don’t talk about appropriateness.
What is not appropriate is Cardinal Dolan yucking it up with Clinton.
What is not appropriate is Clinton favoring infanticide and Catholics cheering her.
What is not appropriate is Donald Trump praising the “culture of life” and greeted only with a smattering of applause at a “Catholic” event.
Trump showed that he is for the truth. The pretend Catholics there were exposed for who they are.

And what the traitorous bastards in that room want to do to this country is unacceptable anywhere and at any time. I am unmoved by anyone's 'shocked' sensibilities on this matter of Trump's comments.

I don't want Trump to play patty-cake with them at their debonaire, ivory tower get togethers. I want them quaking in abject FEAR that he will expose their criminality and see them punished for it.

[JamesP81]

I will also add this: bravo on Trump for honoring God in his comments.

God cannot be mocked, and He will bless those who stand with Him in the face of all opposition.

How do you make common cause with an abortionist, communist, sodomite, criminal traitor who seeks to destroy these United States?

You cannot, and you're a damn fool to try.

You know, I too at first thought that the speech by Trump crossed the line.

It became hilarious though when the shots of the crowd surrounding Trump on the dais showed ashen faces and horrified expressions.... TOO FUNNY!

But remember FRiend, roasts are supposed to be risqué.

Trump gave Hillary both barrels, because she deserved it.

He was not afraid to be frank in such a setting. To his credit, he was channeling his inner John the Baptist!

And due to the fact that she is basically in contempt of almost all Catholic doctrine and tradition, even to the extreme of supporting late-term partial birth abortion, it is SHE whose presence and speech were inappropriate at the Catholics' roast.

Trump was booed because he was in front of a mixed crowd of hard core libs, commie media, and progressive hellbound pseudo-Catholics.

Real Catholics loved to see the murder-advocating heathen Hillary get skewered. And to see all the Pharisees squirm was icing on the cake.

You're correct in that Donald Trump has been very generous to Catholic Charities over his lifetime however, in regards to your remark But what is acceptable and entertaining at those events was not appropriate in last evening’s setting would be nice if both sides played that way. The RAT's havent observed any sort of appropriateness in a very long time but know that the Pub's observe appropriateness in most every setting - it is this reason why they have been rolled by the RAT's for the last 30 years - they take advantage of this (propriety used to be a strength and has been turned into a weakness in politics) and exploit the hell out of it.

No more.........

“But what is acceptable and entertaining at those events was not appropriate in last evening’s setting.”

BS. All’s fair in love and war, and this is a war for the survival of America. If Trump can’t speak at a debate without being stifled by the moderator(s), then he has to seize every opportunity offered to him to get out the truth.

I’m hoping his jokes will make the uninformed do some research about Haiti, her opinion of Catholics and evangelicals, etc.
