The left is normalizing violence against Donald Trump
Flopping Aces ^ | 06-12-17 | DrJohn

democrats are on a tear. They are coming unglued, so filled are they with the hatred of Donald Trump. He wasn't supposed to win and democrats are still butt-sore, so they fabricated a fantasy about Russian collusion and tried to take him down with it. Former FBI Director James Comey blew that one out of the water, so today collusion is out, but obstruction is in.

Except that that's out too.

Elizabeth Price Foley joined Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley in educating our friends on the left that nothing Donald Trump has done amounts to obstruction:

“To the extent that people want try to make this obstruction of justice, there’s a million different layers why this is not technically obstruction of justice, either as a statutory matter or a constitutional matter,” Foley said. “But this point particularly about a ‘corrupt intent’ is even worse. Because think about it, the president also has the authority under Article II [of the Constitution] to pardon people, but we don’t say for example that the president can’t pardon a certain person because he has a corrupt intent, he likes the guy he’s known him for a long time so therefore he can’t pardon him.”

“The pardon power like the power to head the investigative, or the rest of the executive branch like the FBI, like the DOJ is a plenary discretionary authority of the president. He can pardon anybody for any reason he wants, corrupt purpose or no, and he can direct the investigation or non- investigation corrupt motive or no,” she added.

They're running out of legal means to rid themselves, so they're resorting to new tactic:

"Will no one rid me of this troublesome President?"

It started as casual banter. Over at Buzzfeed, Maycie Thornton hoped that "Maybe someone will assassinate" Donald Trump.

Then Kathy Griffin wore her emotions on her, er, hand as she revealed her desire to behead Donald Trump.

Now there's even a play about assassinating Donald Trump. It's thinly veiled as a recreation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, featuring an orange-haired contemporary business-suited Trump-like Caesar who gets gutted.

Bank of America and Delta Airlines have dropped their sponsorship of the play, but the NY Times continues its support.

Americans need to remember this the next time a communist “democrat” wins the White House. It is starting to appear as though Americans should have been treating the president this way for the past eight years. Unfortunately, grown up Americans just “dealt with it” and went about their daily lives. One of the benefits of having a job.

The left is calling for an assassination of a duly elected president. The media, democrats, deep state and establishments of both parties are all in as well. This is unprecedented since the election of 1860 where the democrats wanted Lincoln dead. We all know how the election of 1860 ended. We live in dangerous times.

During the primary and even afterwards, the dems and their media lapdogs never tired of saying Trump is “literally Hitler.” Their hope then was that one of their legions of mentally and emotionally unbalanced supporters would assassinate Trump. That didn’t work. So, they know have gotten more out front with what they want, by graphically displaying it at every opportunity. That’s why Griffin was holding up Trump’s severed head, and now graphically showing him being stabbed to death.

I don’t need to remind anyone that they do have an organization called BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, which pretty much says it all.

The Overton Window (window of discourse) creeps toward the unthinkable.

Trump needs to install his Himler and Heydrich.

The left is normalizing violence against Donald Trump

The left has no idea what violence is. They may get to find out!

“We live in dangerous times.’’’ We do indeed and I now know exactly how they felt in 1860.

We have brought nothing.

The Left is normalizing their hatred of Trump, with mock bloody killings, dropping the assassination word, fully assaulting him, while R’s freeze his agenda and WE ARE PASSIVE VIEWERS in all of it, doing nothing, bringing squat.

Only Canadians marched for Trump. Americans squeal a little on issues, but not for Trump by name do we DO anything, ever.

Wait a second. Isn’t it the left that keeps re-educating us that the first amendment isn’t absolute, such as in cases in spreading hate? But it’s OK and their first amendment right to suggest that someone should kill the POTUS?

“...One of the benefits of having a job”.

One of the benefits of being decent human beings is more like it. Plenty of scum have jobs.

Past time to round up the Secret Service from the bars and brothels and send them out to start making arrests!

This is the left’s goal. To inspire one of their looney tunes followers to assassinate trump. They want him killed.

Some republican with a spine (is there one?) should call on the democrats to denounce all this assassination stuff.

call on the media too. Any media outlet that doesn’t denounce it doesn’t get a seat at press conferences.

"...The Left is normalizing violence against Trump..."


We have majorities all over the place yet we continually tippy-toe everywhere.
Then some Deputy Assistant Judge to the Associate Dogcatcher of the 41st District of Lower Nebraska tells President Trump is not allowed to do something.
We need to stand-up to these leftwinger bullies.
When they do outrageous acts promoting violence, they need to cool their heels in jail for a week or two to reconsider their behavior.

Exactly correct, Cubs Fan.
Failure to clearly and boldly denounce violence intended for the POTUS should result in immediate cancellation of permission to attend press events. Start with a six-month suspension at a minimum.
