Do you remember that from August of 2016?
Did you wonder if any of Trump's supporters actually got fired up enough to make actual threats against Hillary Clinton?
Well wonder no more.
These are today's tweets from journalist Michael Best who specializes in reporting on the intelligence community.

Secret Service docs indicate they did see threats against Hillary Clinton seemingly as a result of Trump's "2nd Amendment people" comment— Michael Best (@NatSecGeek) April 6, 2017
Yikes! Indeed.DHS' reaction to Trump's "2nd Amendment people" comments: "YIKES!" pic.twitter.com/yEYu5MRGQg— Michael Best (@NatSecGeek) April 6, 2017
Could you even imagine how badly this might have gone?
After all Donald Trump's supporters are some of the angriest, mentally unbalanced crackpots that we have seen since the McCain Palin rallies of 2008.
These are the types of folks who see the solution to just about every problem as a bullet, and all it takes to set them off is a simple traffic incident, neighborhood confrontation, or careless presidential candidate and the next thing you know the air is filled with lead.
And there Donald Trump was, pouring gasoline ALL OVER those burning embers.
#Notmypresident.
(H/T to Politicususa.)
There was a reason Hillary Clinton had to wear body armor every day and Trump did not.
ReplyDeleteBut Trump didn't do all of that on his own, Putin and his propaganda army helped him a great deal by spreading unbelievable lies about Hillary Clinton that only morons would believe.
About that agent arrested for soliciting a prostitute; you guessed it, it's Obama's fault!!

You would think that Secret Service are vetted, are able to vet and have enough common sense not to be such an easy mark. Obama must have lowered the standards in the Secret Service selection process.
I think there have been problems with the Secret Service for many years now.

Don't/$arah and their ilk incite to distract. Damn scary how many idiots there are available, anxious and willing to be shepherded to hell by these self-serving pretenders.
ReplyDeleteTG, quantum physics never disappoints.

Fuck You, $arah Palin!
DeleteMaybe Gryph will let that one through.
Trump wasn't running in August 2009. But errors and typos only matter when Palin does it, right?
DeleteFirst Obama goes after Yemen, now he goes after Syria.
ReplyDeleteGovt sucks.
Except Obama didn't go after Yemen. Trump did.
DeleteAnd Trump is the one bombing Syria. When President Obama was in office, sanity reigned in the White House. Not anymore.

Trump so saw pics of the dead kids and went for it.
ReplyDeleteI guess someone finally told him what to do

US blasts Syria base with cruise missiles
By LOLITA C. BALDOR - The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) The United States fired a barrage of cruise missiles into Syria Thursday night in retaliation for this week's gruesome chemical weapons attack against civilians, U.S. officials said. It was the first direct American assault on the Syrian government and Donald Trump's most dramatic military order since becoming president.
The surprise strike marked a striking reversal for Trump, who warned as a candidate against the U.S. getting pulled into the Syrian civil war, now in its seventh year. ......
As part of her introduction to Clinton’s first major interview since losing the 2016 presidential election, the comedian and TV host Samantha Bee said to an as-yet-unseen Clinton, “It should have been you.”
ReplyDeleteThe loud applause that greeted that pronouncement was nothing compared to the roar and standing ovation that greeted Clinton herself, as she took a seat opposite her interviewer, the journalist Nicholas Kristof.
See the full interview here.

Little donnie wants Hillary to apologize for being given the “answers” in the debate, when is he going to apologize for threatening her life?
ReplyDeleteOh right, he was just joking.
Effing dumpy, you show you are not prez as you talk from your hole.
ReplyDeleteCheap.
You should be at the WH.
Idiot.

ReplyDelete50!
Why don't the gop just vote majority on their committees instead of ranks like the nuclear option now.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing statement considering the volume of comments you let fly right thru here that suggest inflicting harm or worse to the POTUS. Absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnd like clockwork- refer to mlaiuppa's direct threat against the life of the POTUS below.
DeleteJesus, we just missled Syria.
ReplyDeleteEnough already.
I guess only Obama needed Congressional approval to bomb an airfield, little donnie doesn’t, check out his tweets from 2013 in article, unable to copy.
ReplyDeleteHope those trump supporters have there boots ready, cuz little donnie just started a war and I am sure the guests at Mar a Lago will keep us briefed on the situation.

Trump Launches Cruise Missile Strikes Against Syria (Updated)
Let war begin! Trump needs a distraction from the Russia investigations, and it never hurts to flex power to bolster those sagging approval ratings, too.
So we're clear here, if Trump gave a fck about gasping Syrian children, he'd open the refugee doors and welcome them in. But instead. he just lobbed around 60 cruise missiles at an airfield near Homs.......
Finally, let us review Trump's reaction when President Obama was confronted with Assad's use of chemical weapons against his own people.......

Exactly.
DeleteWell, forgive me for being a goddamn cynic here, but I am not happy that our president just embroiled us militarily in another conflict that is not our fucking business. We have a bad habit of getting rid of a bad dictator just to usher in a worse one. Yes, the crime was horrific, and the pictures horrible but there are horrible pictures of children starving in this country, elders abused in this country and veterans homeless and helpless in this country. I also question my president's "timing" of this strike. Interesting that he was "breaking bread" with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who we certainly have diplomatic concerns with over N. Korea and island building in the South China Sea. And is this our president thumbing our nose at Russia, who, btw, we gave a courtesy notice prior to?
ReplyDeleteWe are way over stretched militarily and it seems to me, that we are standing on the edge of the abyss. Unaborted fetuses will not save us. Neither will rattling our saber.
Forgive me for not knowing when to shut the fuck up. I'm usually better at brevity.
Fuck warmongers.

I agree with you, Georgia Peach. I don't like to be cynical about everything that happens but, when the country is being led by an administration with no scruples, one cannot trust anything that they do or say.
DeleteBeaglemom
Also his poll numbers are tanking.
DeleteHe did not write that speech, he could barely read it and his Mr. Tough Guy was a bunch of B.S.
Heidi, we didn't see previous gas attacks...
ReplyDeleteWe weren't watching news 24 7, as we knew Mr. Obama was doing right minded actions!
We now watch news more often because we see a really ignorant prez., a buffoon, a liar, a cheat, a person who is not right in the head at all.
Stupid news people, wakeup we have a shell of a human as prez. Do not think for one moment he knows anything.
Check what cheney is doing
ReplyDeleteShooting someone else?
DeleteDumpf WC Fields. Lol.
