One North Carolina man predicted in an interview that the military would probably assassinate Hillary Clinton if she’s elected president.

Stupid. No one is assasinating anyone.

Although, I recently heard the dumbest thing ever: Apparently the republicans will assassinate Trump, so they can install Pence as the standard bearer.

My response was to damn near wrap that person’s head in tinfoil.

1 month and the GOP would put forward an alternative that had no chance of his message ever being heard.

Lame-0

Trump needs to honor these 15 ladies—maybe bring them to and then up together at a rally or something:

When the left does these things they say it is “fair”, but when we do them they claim it is “scorched Earth”.

They don’t know scorched Earth.

He’s turned to darker corners, La La Times? No, he’s exposing a bright light on some of the darker corners that already exist in our tightly controlled, corrupt system. How naïve do these “reporters” think we are? Trump is responding to a revolt among the oppressed regular folks who don’t like the elites giving away their country, civilization, safety, and jobs; he didn’t created it.

It wasn’t “civic vandalism” when thugs on the left forced a baker to pay $135,000 for the hurt feelings of two predatory lesbians after the baker refused to participate in their gay “wedding”.

It wasn’t “civic vandalism” when thugs on the left forced a Christian grandmother to pay $1001 in fines and ordered to obey their commands, despite the whining faux-victim status of two predatory lesbians after the florist refused to participate in their gay “wedding”.

“Civic vandalism” is when Trump or anyone else points out the corruption and the evil of Barack Hussein, of Hillary, and of all America’s enemies on the left.

President Trump can issue statements on the White House website, and post YouTube videos of speeches. There is no need for a White House press corp.

MOST EXCELLENT EMAIL FROM MY FRIEND DAVID K!
I would only add that, with several exceptions (conspicuous by their rarity) this entire gang of brigands, liars and criminals is the biggest aggregation of “PLICKS” since the Bilderbergers, Skull & Bones, the CFR, Trilateral Commission and the UN all gathered at Bohemian Grove to anoint the inter-changeable little Jebby Bush and Hillary to be the next presidential candidates!
(What’s a “PLICK”? That’s a guy who leaves a dime tip in a Chinese restaurant.)

Subject: Washington Club.
My friends, I have news for you. There is no longer a GOP or Democrat party. Oh sure, they exist in name only, but Washington has evolved while the rest of us weren’t paying attention. Washington is now a club, and you’re either a member, or not. Folks like Speaker Ryan have been charter members since the day they entered Congress. Trump, on the other hand, has never been a member, and does not seek membership. Therefore, members such as Ryan, Bush, and yes, Clinton will do whatever is necessary to keep outsiders like Trump from being elected. And in case you were wondering, you and I aren’t members either, which is why I’m supporting Trump. The Washington Club can go f**k themselves.”
(Sadly, they’re too busy f**king US to devote time to David’s excellent suggestion!)

This election is even separating the ‘really good people’ and the ‘really good christians’ from the ‘good people’ and the ‘good Christians’. That holier than thou stance is unbecoming in a war.

I am one of those ‘good Christians’ who recognizes bad when I see it.
I am one of those ‘good Christians’ who does not stick finger in the wind to see which side I should be on.
I am one of those ‘good Christians’ who does not follow the longest line.
I am one of those ‘good Christians’ who will defend the right thing, no matter what the rest of the world does.
I am one of those ‘good Christians’ who will stand with the downtrodden and with the one spat upon.
I am one of those ‘good Christians’ who really does not like to see the holier than thou attitude come out when the fight is on and the need to defend, fight and go to war is shunned.
I am one of those ‘good Christians’ who will be damned if a crooked corrupt being will win in a race I have anything to do with!
This ‘good Christian’ can get just as heavy as they can.. and I’m for Donald Trump all the way to the end..
Damned the media.. damned the left.. damned all the world that has come against Trump...

God in heaven.. help this train to get across the line!! and save our country!! and as a reminder to God.. this is the only country You have left... Please don’t forsake us now!

"One North Carolina man predicted in an interview that the military would probably assassinate Hillary Clinton if she’s elected president."

So now a comment from some nobody in North Carolina is trotted out as an example of - just what? In a nation of 300+ million people, you can find someone who will claim just about anything, and a lot of those morons are voting for Hillary. But the LA times will not highlight their insanity.

What's an LA Times?
Interesting that honesty and direct speech is now considered “scorched earth”.
