For all of Trump’s faults, least of which is that he is essentially a Blue Dog Democrat, he doesn’t shy away from being provocative. Sometimes this elicits a pure facepalm moment from Republicans. Others utterly tweek the noses of liberals/Democrats/progressives, putting them into apoplexy, and often highlights their hypocrisy and bias.
Right now, most of the media is losing their minds over the whole Obama birther thing, often conveniently forgetting that it was the Hillary 2008 campaign that started the whole thing. This is Big News for the liberal media, even as Obama has said to just move on (I’ve had CNN on since 645am, and half the coverage has been on birtherism). Can you blame them? They really do not want to cover Hillary’s poor health and negative campaign which is about aas exciting as watching grass grow.
Then we have this (which is the other half of CNN’s coverage this am)
(UK Guardian) Mere hours after he appeared to put one of the oldest criticisms of his presidential campaign to rest with the acknowledgment that President Barack Obama was born in the United States, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told supporters that his opponent’s Secret Service detail should disarm itself due to what he characterized as her opposition to the Second Amendment.
“Take their guns away,†Trump said of Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent. “Let’s see what happens to her.â€
This has led to a media freakout, with them wondering what Trump “really” means. Is he saying someone should attack her?!!!!!!!!! Which, of course, leads to a discussion that she is super precious, and needs protection from people carrying guns, many of which are illegal for private ownership. Does she need armed protection? Of course. So does the POTUS. But, what the media miss is that Hillary would like to erode the 2nd Amendment Right of citizens to own firearms for protection.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Miami, Florida, Trump criticized Clinton’s stance on gun-control issues, characterizing her stance as wanting to “abolish†the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. (This claim has been debunked.)
If Clinton were truly as anti-gun as she claims to be, Trump told the audience, her Secret Service detail should disarm itself.
“I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons – they should disarm. I think they should disarm immediately, what do you think?†Trump asked the raucous crowd.
“Let’s see what happens to her.â€
Does Hillary want to abolish the 2nd Amendment? Of course she would never say that she does. One thing that you cannot say about her is that she’s an idiot. She’ll keep unpopular ideas like that quiet. She is for numerous ways to make it harder and harder for private citizens to arm themselves for protection while surrounding herself with guns. She’s all for removing Constitutional protections by using no fly lists and such, which are damned impossible to get off of, to restrict gun ownership. She’ll allow lawsuits against gun manufacturers. Taxes on guns and ammunition, making it hard for people to afford a weapon to protect themselves and their families. She’s against concealed carry and open carry. For other people, of course.
The question not being asked by liberals in high apoplexy is “if Hillary is allowed guns for protection, why aren’t private citizens?” We cannot afford to have lots of bodyguards, and the government isn’t going to pay for it, like for Hillary. We’re on our own. Perhaps the media should be asking why it’s OK for her but not us.
Trump has trolled the media and Democrats perfectly, because the more they yammer on about this, the more citizens will ask the question on double standards for gun protection.
Perhaps before Hillary gives up her armed protection Trump might consider allowing everyone at his rallys to come fully armed?
The Don: Assassinate Hillary!
Deplorable.
Don and the Deplorables.
PolitiFact earlier this year rated as False Trump’s claim that Clinton “wants to abolish the 2nd Amendment”.
The Don is a liar.
Maybe the little guy who’s more retarded than john can explain this…

Perhaps the Don will be hoist with his own petard. It would be for the good of the country and globe.
Looks like Trump and Pence are having fun with the Hag…

The Deplorables are terrified of losing their white male privilege.
The Don and The Pence refuse to repudiate his white supremacist/nationalist followers. The Don calls women pigs, mocks the disabled, calls his opponents losers and stupid, the founders of ISIS – called Mexicans rapists – yet the worst they say about David Duke is that he is “redeemable”.
Frantic jeffery as he sees the liar of the ages slipping farther and farther down the rabbit hole.
LOLOLOL……the worst candidate in the history of the GOP and Hillary is getting trounced cause she is an embicille.
The Deplorables are terrified of losing their white male privilege.
And the black people like Jeffery are fighting hard to take it away from them and HAVE IT THEMSELVES….whose worse….murdering blacks or murdering whites……
I propose they both are bad….What do you propose Jeffery?
City-data.com crime index (higher means more crime, U.S. average = 287.5)
Jackson MS….predominatly black with a hopelessness because the Democrats who demand their votes do nothing for them…. …their index rating? 634.1
Detroit, Mi. 888.8
Baltimore, MD. 672.7
Chicago, Il. 738.0
NY,NY…a city that has cracked down on crime…heavily………..241.5…lower then the U.S average….
Los Angeles…..258.6
Another town that has hired 1000’s of police officers and actively cracks down on crime….
It can be done…..just some states and cities have egregious politicans who feed the frenzy to keep getting elected while they blame their plight on White priveledge.
what does that mean……that means that if the city is willing to get crime under control…..it can.
Speak to the hand…..Everyone knows that your just flinging shit hoping something sticks…..
while Hillary on the other hand is having to deal with TRUE FACTS…….Leaked Emails showing that she is a power crazed woman who HATES BARAK OBAMA…….
No matter how much mud you sling at trump……..its hard to ignore Hillarys plight and the voters get it……..she is the captain of that deplorables row boat….lolololol.
Who’s worse, the oppressed or the oppressors? Really?
Jeffrey, your racist little fantasy works great on duh interwebs where you’re not around any white people, but not so much in reality. Those eevviilll white people who bag your groceries, cash your checks, take your orders at drive-thrus – those white people are oppressing you. Rise up like a real Nubian man and bag your own groceries!
Strangely enough, to find any evidence of racism, you have to go to other sites that the people here hate. Yet you never learn.
To you, race war is just around the corner, the grievance clock always stuck at 11:59 PM, ready to trip over into some redneck Armageddon that would make the Klan look like amateurs.
If your worldview wasn’t so hilariously juvenile, it’d be sad.
No, it’s Politi”fact” that’s the liar.
Hillary has often said she wants more gun control; here’s a link showing she would like to see an “Australian-style Gun Buyback.” http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/10/clinton-weigh-australian-style-gun-buyback-usa-nra-massacre-151017225414484.html
Because Australians are subjects, not sovereign citizens, their government can do these sort of things to them; their Consitution is much like ours but does not have anything like the Bill of Rights. Australians do not have freedom of speech or the freedom to defend themselves. (Google Australian Section 18C for an eye-opener.)
Hillary would love for politicians here to have that much power over the citizens of this country!
Eskyman,
Nothing in the linked article describes Secretary Clinton wanting to abolish the 2nd Amendment. Anyway, our Presidents do not have that power.
The Politifact article was correct. Trump’s claim that Clinton proposed abolishing the 2nd Amendment has been debunked.
Trump lies with impunity.
Jeffrey wrote:
It’s certainly true enough that neither Mrs Clinton nor any of the other important Democrats have directly called for the repeal of the Second Amendment, because they aren’t stupid enough to say so in public. But we all know that is exactly what they’d do if they could.
LOL. So it’s only factual accurate that Secretary Clinton has not suggested to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
And it’s not even Birther Don’s worst lie.
