After punching incident, N.C. sheriff ponders ‘inciting a riot’ charge against Trump
Quote
The charge of “inciting a riot” is a misdemeanor, defined this way: “Any person who willfully incites or urges another to engage in a riot, so that as a result of such inciting or urging a riot occurs or a clear and present danger of a riot is created.”

Under North Carolina law, a riot is “a public disturbance involving an assemblage of three or more persons which by disorderly and violent conduct, or the imminent threat of disorderly and violent conduct, results in injury or damage to persons or property or creates a clear and present danger of injury or damage to persons or property.”

I guess telling someone "go ahead, I'll pay your legal bills" might be inciting. Wouldn't THAT be exciting. Maybe he'll have to pay HIS OWN legal bills.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Would Republicans be willing to try impeaching Trump if he gets elected?
Republicans impeaching Republicans would be a liberal WET DREAM!

What about this whole "Trojan Horse for Hillary" gambit that so many seem to believe?

Where is the payoff for Trump in all of this if he leaves the race or loses, or is exposed as a poison dart operative for Hillary?
Does he parlay all of this into a marketing empire where he sells fake gold bullion to his hordes of followers on QVC or something?

Donald Trump's 13 Biggest Business Failures - Rolling Stone

Quote
Most Trump-branded projects and products are built and sold by third parties, and Trump only makes a relative sliver of money off them by licensing his name. By Trump's measure, his name is his most valuable asset. (Per Forbes, "Trump claims that his brand and brand-related deals are worth some $3.3 billion. We value his brand at just $125 million.") In practice, "Trump" has repeatedly stood for half-baked schemes, shoddy work and sketchy characters.

1. Trump Airlines (1990)
2. Trump beverages (2004,6,7)
3. Trump: The Game (1990,2004)
4. Trump casinos (x3)(1991,2004,2008)
Quote
("Trump has filed for bankruptcy on his Atlantic City properties alone three times. First was the Trump Taj Mahal in 1991 — which was $3 billion in debt after just one year in operation. He was back in bankruptcy court in 2004, and not just for the Trump Taj Mahal but for the Trump Marina and Trump Plaza casinos, which along with a riverboat casino in Indiana had a debt burden of some $1.8 billion. After the bankruptcy, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts reorganized as Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. Four years later, Trump Entertainment Resorts missed an interest payment on a $53.1 million bond; the company declared bankruptcy, and this time Trump stepped down as its chairman.")
5. Trump magazine (2009)
6. Trump Mortgage (2007)
7. Trump Steaks (2007)
8. Trump's travel site (2007)
9. Trump's comms company (1990)
10. Trump Tower Tampa (2008)
11. Trump University (ongoing disaster)
12. Trump Vodka (2008)
13. Lost future earnings from calling Mexicans rapists (2015 and ongoing)

For those following at home, between 1990 and 2009, Trump has averaged a failed enterprise every year (some managed to fail more than once).

Trump Is Gaslighting America: This is an intervention. America, you have a Trump problem.

Nicole Hemmer
U.S. News & World Report
March 15, 2016

Quote
Dear America,

This is an intervention.

You have a problem.

Donald Trump.

He’s gaslighting you.

It’s a technique abusers use: Through manipulation and outright lies, they so disorient their target that the person (or in this case, the country) is left defenseless. He’s gaslighting you.

Trump is a toxic blend of Barnum and bully. If you’re a good mark, he’s your best friend. But if you catch on to the con, then he starts to gaslight. Ask him a question and he’ll lie without batting an eye. Call him a liar and he’ll declare himself “truthful to a fault.” Confront him with contradictory evidence and he’ll shrug and repeat the fib. Maybe he’ll change the subject. But he’ll never change the lie.

I have to conclude you guys in this thread believe an intractably ideological conservative hellbent on destroying America and forcing it into Armageddon is less a problem than having a buffoon for president.

I strongly disagree.


ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
Save America - Lock Trump Up!!!!

Mussolini wound up hanging by his feet from a meat hook. America's own "Lil Douche" will probably not meet a fate so terrible but the Republican Party may not escape that fate.
