President Trump's Supporters Clash With Protesters at Rallies

Source: Time

From Colorado's state Capitol to Trump Tower in New York and the Washington Monument, groups of hundreds of people rallied for President Donald Trump on Saturday, waving "Deplorables for Trump" signs and even carrying a life-size cutout of the president.

Chelsea Thomas, an accountant from Thornton, Colorado, brought her family to the March 4 Trump rally in Denver — and the life-size cardboard cutout of Trump. She said the family has taken it with them on camping trips, boat rides and a country music festival.

"It's nice to be surrounded by people who share your morals and opinions," said Thomas, as her son walked back and forth across the grass with a Trump flag.

Many in the crowd held American flags or wore red, white and blue and held signs with messages like "Veterans before Refugees."

Say, Idaho f.i.

...or Kansas, which is well on it's way economically.

Then cut off all Federal assistance and see how a libertarian paradise works out for them.

I recall the statement of patriotism being a last refuge for these people. Sharing Trump's morals. Indeed, tone deafness as well.

From Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary

Patriotism, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit it is the first.

"At a North Carolina rally, speakers said the dishonest media and left wing politicians were bordering on sedition in their opposition to the Republican president. Some men were seen walking through the Raleigh crowd carrying a Trump flag as well as a Confederate flag. Gathered just behind the rally was a handful of protesters, some of whom blew air horns in an attempt to disrupt the event."

A. What were they doing when Obama was President? Oh right... Calling him a Kenyan Secret Muslim Pretender.

B. They want to talk about others bordering on sedition and treason yet they prance around with a confederate flag.

What?

They want us us fighting online and in the streets. I never imagined there would be Americans proud to call themselves "deplorable". Even if we can rid ourselves of the cancer in the White House, these people still run amok in this country.

sexual predator is convicted of a crime.

But, and I will say this again. But, when it comes to the chief sexual predator residing in the White House, spending $2 million a weekend at his resort trying to look like he his charge.

Spending over $200,000 flying on a B-747-200 that is over 20 years old, and then having some Fertilizer king from Russia happening to be at the same spots that sexual predator was at during the campaign trail and bilking the taxpayers by having secret service at his crime laden Trump Tower guarding his empire.

They supporters of a card board cut out, which is just that, it is just as fake as they are!

They turn a blind eye to this walking and talking criminal enterprise, that is breaking the Constitutional requirement of the Emolument Clause.

My answer to them:

"FU and the horse you road in on". Your card board cut-out is a f**king sexual predator, get it, you own him and he owns you.

And as for picture in this thread, the zippy the pin head looking like he is about to go completely off his rocker with that stupid red Russian hat on his pinhead and the other standing behind him looking like some doofus idiot, your "boy toy" wants to take your retirement and health care away from you, and he wants to have you live on the streets.

Your Paul Ryan (Eddie Munster) and Mitch McConnell ( Turtle) and Mike Pence (Race Bannon /Jonny Quest) criminal enterprise of sleaze, confirming a guy by the name of Wilbur Ross that was the #2 at the Bank of Cyprus, that was laundering money from the Putin and Russian Mafia, you are idiots.

And then the country has the pin heads in his cabinet lying in front of committees, like Jeff Sessions, and incompetent pin heads getting confirmations to take down the "entire" republic.

Then we have this from a supporter saying this which is just classic for the ages from Chelsea Thomas in Denver, CO :

"It's nice to be surrounded by people who share your morals and opinions," said Thomas, as her son walked back and forth across the grass with a Trump flag".


I am having a hard time on the choices of emoji's I want to put on this thread but here goes for the stupid who support a sexual predator:

and the few hundred think tank coordinated blowhards on them yelling all day get a free speech free ride to sound like tens of millions.

that's the hot wind in their sails - they're told all day they're the majority and since no one challenges their talk radio gods in real time they believe it

when dems finally stop ignoring that fact and break down the talk radio monopoly they'll look like the 10 -15% they really are.

They would be among the first to whine if anyone took away their SS or Medicare like the pukes want to enact!

Full disclosure: I'm an old white guy who has know this breed and there is no logical way to change their distorted beliefs or that they vote against their own
best interests.

What big turnouts! I wonder if it dawns on the trumpists when they look at their gatherings that there's a lack of enthusiasm? I also wonder what their "morals" are exactly?

Another way of saying bigoted white people who do not understand nor believe in the results of science if it call question upon the will and words of the Lord. But only their Lord. All the others are fake.
