If you're going to complain about threats to Trump, you need to condemn your savior when he posts violent threats himself. Like his re-tweet of an old video of Trump body-slamming Vince McMahon in a wrestling match, except this video has the CNN logo super-imposed over McMahon.

Will we get one conservative here to blast Trump? You seem to ask Democrats all the time to condemn Maxine Walters or Chris Matthews.

BTW, it appears that many Republican politicians are blasting Trump for the tweet. Hopefully some of the folks here will realize it's a new low for Trump, even by his standards. On 4th of July weekend too, no less.

Good Lord. Quit the breathlessly clutching your pearls thing.

If by many, you mean just Never Trumper Ben Sasse, who has questionable ties and needs to go.

Im struck that people are shocked that Trump is doing this sort of thing. He's a promoter and a businessman. What did people think they were getting? Thats basically why Trump wasnt my choice. I wanted Kashich---lol...who was way too boring to gain traction in the primaries.

That said---so what? In the last 30 years the media world has changed. It's been an endless 24 hour news cycle for a while. However, of late, its become a 24 hour news cycle where the media has picked sides and plays fast and loose with the facts. The News outlets are increasingly defined less by the facts they report and more by the facts they ignore. They have simply lost any real resemblance of being fair and unbiased arbiters of truth. They have unwittingly marginalized themselves.

Just as Reagan succeeded by speaking directly to the people---This president won his primary, and later a general election, by going around that media filter using his own social media presence. It is what it is. Given that the news media has chosen sensationalism and advocacy as its bedrock, we are likely to see more of this in the future---not less. The media has lost the public trust. Most people just see the media as little more than the home team PA announcer in politics.

I'm thinking she only has one that won't react to stimulation from either/or....

It's dumb.

Our president is a loud-mouthed boor, like Lyndon Johnson, only with twitter.

Note that that is not an impeachable offense.

There's a rumor that liberals don't like Donald Trump.

I like a person that isn't afraid to get down in the gutter and fight. That goes double for a President...

bout damn time one showed human emotions and really doesn't give a **** if those that voted against him....

can't handle it

About damn time America got back to actions matter more than making sure you say the "correct" words. Make America Great Again! Not the cuck for the PC world that one day (probably not long from now) will be depending on America to fix the problems they are creating.

That wont get done by being PC.

LOL

Not one condemnation yet.

Can't wait for your latest faux outrage.

That's pretty accurate. The way I see it is you're watching a football game. One team is a G-5, the other is a Cabal (power team). You guys have seen enough of those games to see where I'm going with this.

The G-5 is Trump, the Cabal is the Liberalturd Progressive movement and ESPN is the MSM.

Got it?

we're close to the same age.....it didn't take long to see that Nixon and Carter were complete schmucks.....

would've liked to have seen what Ford would've done.....

my knock on Reagan was fully embodying the WOD.....Nixon started it, he furthered it (as Ford most likely would have), and Bush drove in the final nail.....

most people don't understand in relative terms how that TRUMPS all of their economic gains by burdening the future gens that now are dealing with that bullshite....

watch what's getting ready to happen.....mark it.....the USD now has a chance....I'm in the 70/30 camp moving forward today....

after zero dipshite got re-elected??? it was the reverse....

Can't imagine the kind of tweets that would've come out of LBJ if twitter had been around at the time...some of his quotes of record are pretty shocking and they were filtered. Given what we know about LBJ's beliefs, an unfiltered LBJ tweeting would've made Trump blush.

Condemnation of WHAT, exactly?

A retweet of a dopey interwebs meme, originating on Reddit?!?

Good grief, man.

I saw the video and thought it was hilarious. In the world libs live in the MSM can take any shot it wants to at Trump and it is ok. Wish him dead, wish his family dead and support all the leftists proclaiming the desire for someone to assassinate our President. Then when Trump posts a funny parody of him taking down CNN, the left screams bloody murder and says Trump is threatening all of the media with harm. You leftists can't have it both ways. You dish it out, learn to take it. You libs are such whining babies it is funny to watch your pathetic crying. You leftists have acted like butthurt five year olds from the day Trump beat the ever lovin sh#t out of that evil witch you ran for President and you are still butthurt over it. Suck it up libs. You really are pathetic.

I don't know about you guys. You Cons have not one shred of empathy. Don't you know that we're dealing with thin skin, pink ***** hat wearing, Trump hating, moral hating Libs?

Where's your empathy? You're as bad as Trump.

I'm not going to go look, but 10 bucks not a ONE of these OUTRAGED!!! Lefty House dims tool their outrage to the twitter when a score of Repub House and Senate members were actually targeted for assassination and done real harm.

In fact, IIRC there were dim party members wishing some of them had been killed.

But, yes. A silly reddit meme retweeted. OMG!!!!!!!

You called it.

I do not disavow.

Also, provide me a list of "republicans" who have a problem with this. I'll have some spare time this week to let them know how much of a cuck they are.
