I guess death threats was the next logical stop
(Haven't found an article yet besides twitter posts)
Is he not-so-lowkey suggesting that people shoot judges.
"Incitement to violence" is one of the few recognized exceptions to the First Amendment. I'm not sure if this crosses the line to that, but it's at least close.

Hes threatening Hillary, judges, pretty much anyone in law enforcement.

Trump will cause a lot of trouble even after losing to Hillary.
At this rate I do believe Trump's defeat (or by some act of god/Flying Spaghetti Monster, his victory) will cause a ton of racially and politically motivated violence. He's been drumming up his supporters so much and hyping them to a stage where they're going to call his defeat 'rigged' and use that as an excuse to riot. Telling people that the right to bear arms can be used to stop a legal, political process from an elected official is completely and utterly wrong, no way you can cut it.
I'm not looking forward to November, not in the slightest...
I think I'm ready to start calling Drumpf a fascist, unironically, after that.
Holy shit.

I think he may be taking the definition of it TOO literally
It's depressing that this doesn't even surprise me at this point. At least he's digging his hole even deeper, though. Barring some serious fuckery, Hillary has this in the bag.
Guys, this is just the leftists [I]once again[/I] misrepresenting what he's [B]actually[/B] saying; he's telling the 2nd amendment people (which includes [I]every[/I] US citizen, because they're all covered by the constitution!) to [B]VOTE[/B]. Not violence, just voting. Definitely. He's not suggesting that the people rise up to make sure that Clinton can't appoint judges. Definitely not. He's a very smart guy. Real smart. Loads of people have called and told me that - he's very smart is all I'm saying.

Not nearly enough repetition in there.

It's just Trump's endless game of 7-dimensional chess, obviously. It's all part of his master plan to put Crooked Hillary™ in her place! MAGA!!!!!
I almost wish we still had all the trumples here to defend him as he crashes his campaign with no survivors

You enjoy watching people bashing their heads against the brick wall when arguing with Trumpsters?

I mean this is pretty indefensible but it does seem that we've had a sudden lack of Trump supporters here, and I remember there being at-least three-four that were active around the place only a few weeks ago. I miss the debates to be honest, in some sick twisted way.

It's certainly amusing to see them grasp straws to defend the shit he says.
i don't understand it. he's up against the second least popular candidate in history and the only reason he's losing is because he's even less popular. all he had to do was stop making these dumb little pointless shots and he would be in a much better position right now. what is he actually trying to accomplish here?

now that Trump has all but sunk his campaign and the chances he'll actually get elected are absolute zero, trumples have just become a funny sideshow
sort of like flat earthers and that one north korea apologist

i can't tell if it is a real meltdown or a planned one

Trump is an idiot.
Specifically, he's an idiot who cares about [I]ratings[/I] above and beyond anything else. He brags about how much money he has, but he also brags about how much media coverage he gets, and he even still brags about how The Apprentice was the top-rated show (for one season, but he insists it was #1 for its whole run). He brags about how many books he's sold and how many people attend his rallies.
Looking at things in that light, it makes perfect sense why Trump is acting this way. If he genuinely thinks that not only is all attention good, but that attention matters more than money or polls, he's just going to keep spouting whatever shocking things will grab the most attention. Whether that's saying we should hand Europe over to the Russians, saying judges who disagree with him should be shot, or saying that we should ban porn, it all gets the media focusing on him and what he says. The fact that he's currently less electable than [I]post-Watergate Nixon[/I] doesn't even matter to him. Everyone's talking about him, which means he's already won, as far as he's concerned.
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;50855683]i can't tell if it is a real meltdown or a planned one[/QUOTE]
it's even dumber if he planned this because that means he expects it to pay off instead of just, you know, make him look like an idiot

He has no filter. Prior Republican candidates may have had similar feelings without voicing them because they know it's a bad thing to say, but Trump doesn't consider these things because to him and to a great number of his supporters, it's a perfectly harmless and reasonable conclusion to reach.
And people want this man to represent out country diplomatically. Insanity.

This actually works for him. His voters don't care how awful his ideas are. In my community, you can't drive down the suburbs for one minute without seeing confederate flags and Trump signs.
Acting like the massive portion of braindead americans have no chance is dangerous. You need to take the risk seriously, and vote... not that it matters in huge red slanting states like mine due to the Electoral College.
no wonder trumps staff is so suicidal along with manafort saying he gives up
how can you rein in somebody who keep saying dumb shit day after day then goes ahead to imply someone should assassinate a fucking presidential candidate right after the fabled 'reboot' day
pretty sure at this stage, trump staffers wont even put they worked for trump in their CV, its a disaster

it's funny how much Trump's reputation has gone full-circle. pre-2016 he was best known for being an idiotic, unlikable orange rich guy with a toupee, then briefly after the nomination he was a four-dimensional media chess-master - now he's back to just being some completely inept old fuck.
he's like a snake eating its own tail. it's in his nature to squander any progress or advantage he gets.
His people clarified that he meant voting for him as the way to stop her, not violence.
I honestly feel a little bad for his staff for having to continuously clarify what he says. However, they can add "Fluent in Trump" to their list of foreign languages on their resume now....
[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;50855842]His people clarified that he meant voting for him as the way to stop her, not violence.[/QUOTE]
The Second Amendment has literally nothing to do with voting. That's one hell of a backpeddle they have going there.

I mean that IS the definition of it. He's just kind of stating it.
That said I don't think a military coup is so wise against one of the worlds strongest militaries.
I don't trust Donald or Hillary with the Supreme Court. Hopefully that Evan guy isn't so bad [I]and[/I] gets popular enough to win. Huge stretch though.
