It’s only 140 characters and even then they have to lie about it.

The Katie Couric editing award. Trump was right. If people are pissed at that -— that’s their problem.

Before you know it, they’ll be claiming that he said “It’s about time somebody killed a bunch of lgbtqs”. It’s what they do.

Crooked Hillary Clinton told the grieving Benghazi families, just hours after their Murders, YOU SHOULD FEEL SORRY FOR THE LIBYAN PEOPLE!


Hillary / Huma are just as Pro-Islam spread inside the Country, and throughout, as Hussein Obama.

All I read is that Americans must name the enemy in our midst and throw them out. Something like that. That kind of talk is almost illegal today, almost, not yet. A lot of us like Trump on this point alone: he refuses to kowtow to the Orwellian speech codes of our “Masters”— or almost Masters.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 47m47 minutes ago Reporting that Orlando killer shouted "Allah hu Akbar!" as he slaughtered clubgoers. 2nd man arrested in LA with rifles near Gay parade. And Obama still won't admit this is a Muslim Jihad. What is worse is someone congratulated Trump on having the guts to state the obvious that PC media won't say. F-em this is why nobody trusts the media. They should be praising Trump for speaking out. If you don't perceive and speak about a problem your never going to solve a problem. PC should not come before lives. Also, these were gays that were killed. The media puts politics before Gay lives. Horrible. This was a registered Democrat, so they won't make an issue of Gay victims. There is so much the MSM gets wrong here. If the GOP points this all out Hillary, Obama and the MSM get a black eye. Trump has to bring this up in Fl. and he wins the state big. Obama is too popular for a failed president, its about time his failures are reflected in disapproval over 55 percent.

so he went to Afghanistan for weapons training, was investigated by the FBI two times but STILL passed his background check...????

what good are these background checks anyway??

apparently there was some multiculturalism magic worked at the very end, they thought it would be unfair to single him out or something.

what good are these background checks, they knew don’t do any good, we should get rid of them.

Wait a minute, didn’t you see George Takei’s response? I’m not sure if Cher has weighed in yet.

Obama was warned, on numerous occasions, that releasing the Moslem terrorists from Guantanamo would be viewed as US weakness and invite more attacks from Moslem terrorists on Americans.

Obama ignored those warnings.

Now we have 50 dead in Orlando from a Moslem terrorist.

Obama owns this massacre.

It’s all his.

And the Democrats who elected him.

One the same page, nothing but platitudes from Hillary. “No place for hate in this country”.

No, hillary and Obama face backlash

Trump did not let them take ownership of the issue of fighting Radical Islamic Terrorism.

The only way this ends is if as many non-citizens are sent back to their countries as possible. The crazies we're still stuck with will dwindle in number, as they either assimilate or get apprehended. More Muslim immigration is madness. With a constant influx of new immigrants, those already here will never acclimate.

Oh please. He is right. Everyone can see it. The alternative is to admit more young males from Syria. Oh wait, we are already doing that.
