The Donald made some cavalier remarks about Hillary yesterday. He warned that is she gets elected, she will pick Supreme Court Justices. "[N]othing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a horrible day.”
That has ignited another firestorm in his sagging campaign, and he's now blaming the media for his own remarks. "Media desperate to distract from Clinton's anti-2A stance," he tweets. "I said pro-2A citizens must organize and get out vote to save our Constitution!"
Where's your sense of humor? Trumpkins will tell you that people threaten to kill presidential candidates all the time.
In other Trump tidbits, he claims he wants to debate Clinton "very badly."
I'm sure he will.
But if you think Hillary is our Savior, think again.
Judicial Watch yesterday released another 296 pages of State Department records and 44 Clinton emails that she failed to disclose. Among them is an email from a Clinton Foundation official, seeking a job for an associate. The records also reveal that Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin left Clinton's daily schedule on her bed, in an unlocked hotel room, for another aide. And a third aide gets mad when the schedule is emailed to an official State Department address instead of using a completely unsecure private account.
They are both a disgrace.

There are two parts to this. Part I is that crazy Donald is the little attention seeking child who wants to get a rise out of his teacher. So long as the teacher deals calmly with his shenanigans and doesn't lose her temper he feels he hasn't succeeded So he keeps upping the ante, hoping to get that rise.
The second part is that this unilateral game of chicken will eventually go to far and someone's going to have to discipline him because you can't encourage people to shoot a Presidential candidate. He's finally gone too far. Secret Service protection is going to have to be increased, or something. He is hideous - and truly mentally ill.
I don't accept his asinine explanation that his reckless comment did not imply that 2A advocates can alter choices of Supreme Court justice picks by using their guns. He's the master of a loose tongue.
It's a dog whistle. I'm not that smart to come up with that. I heard someone say it on CNN. It's something that normal people can dismiss as hyperbolae or just kidding or he just meant that supporters of the second amendment can argue through legitimate means, but it really resonates with the fringe base of anti-obama tea party truthers, militias, etc. The danger is that one of them will hear that and take it as his or her personal mission to take the comment literally. In any event, like almost everything Trump does, it was reckless as heck and in very poor taste and judgment.
Can you hear her? I think it's the "fat lady singing"... For Trump, no less...
Stick a fork in him he's done..

Once again Bernie is helping the msm elect crooked Hillary President. Trump made no such assertion. His comment was a reference to those who support the second amendment being strong enough to block her efforts to repeal the second amendment and seize American's guns. Obama started the war on the second amendment and she wants to finish it by disarming all Americans, We all know this to be true.
Stop playing by the Alinsky playbook Bernie. Stick to local issues.
Ok bernie so how do you really feel
Anyone with half a brain, which apparently does not include you, can watch the video. He was joking, but Trumpkins like you could make the mistake of acting on this failed humor, which is what makes his remarks dangerous and irresponsible.
Vote Trump. Don't let these left wing lunatics destroy America. Make it great again.
The entire "election" is a sad joke.
Democrats must really be morons to believe this.
But then, that's why they are called "low information voters" and Hillary coverts them.
The Democrats and the Media are throwing everything they can at Trump. The polls are skewed and we hear a wall of negative things about him.
The phrase is "Scared Shitless"
The trouble is that virtually all of the drivel that comes out of Hillary Clinton's mouth is rewarded mightily by the seal-clapping behavior of the main-stream media and their little ducklings in the local media.
Each time Donald Trump says something, in contrast, the main-stream media automatically designate it as "not Presidential", idiotic, racist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic, and/or Islamophobic.
I was happy to see Saddiqe Mateen, father of the Orlando shooter, sitting behind Hillary at the 09-09-2016 rally outside of Orlando. He bragged about being a supporter of Mrs. Slick Willy. With supporters like that and black lives matter, her habitual lying is trivalized in this matter. This country is in for trouble!
655.. in typical trump fashion, you like to play actionsnof an uninvited guest. We are talking about Trumos own words and hisnown actions. Do not try to deflect. Only a person from Mars could continue to support Trump.
It should also be recalled that in 2008 Hillary Clinton said that she would stay in the Democratic primary race, in case Senator Obama were "assassinated like Bobby Kennedy was".
I suppose what goes around, comes around.
The name Trumpkin is hilarious. Calling us Trumpkins is cute. If there's a dog whistle for those on the right then there is a moonbat whistle for those on the left.
Anything Trump says or does is scrutinized and dissected by the "I'm with Her" media. Hillary gets a pass and constant adoration for being a woman. And if anyone dare disagree with her they are sexist.
Banana Republics are built upon these principles.
@7:37 low-intelligence people need to invent childish names because they have little or no capability to act or talk like adults.
Why they can swallow Hillary Clinton's drivel and think it's manna from Heaven.
I'm considered a Trumpkin and don't consider it low intelligence to think of that name. I would be of low emotional intelligence if I were to be called a name and then react violently exempt when another Trumpkin called me a Trumpkin.
Call me a Trumpkin with the intent of disparaging me is like calling me a coward. It's only a negative if I allow it to be. I choose not to be negatively impacted by it. As a bonus I find humor in the word Trumpkin. A sense of humor goes a long way and we're going to need that to endure the coronation of Mrs Clinton as another "first".
Seems Every. Single. Day, now Trump and his supporters have to explain "what he really meant to say was......" He is simply incapable of maintaining any semblance of campaign discipline.
What's still clear though is awful Hillary isn't beating trump. Trump is beating trump. Trump is the only candidate out of every single Republican who sought the nomination who can possibly lose to Clinton. And he's doing everything he can to ensure it happens. Anyone else the polls would be reversed. These are truly two of the worse candidates in the history of President politics.
It is becoming more and more a real possibility that Gary Johnson gets to 15% and adds a 3rd podium into the debates. Marist put out a PA poll today that has Johnson at 9%. Marist has Johnson at 12% in Ohio and Iowa today. More people are saying no to both Clinton and Trump. Interestingly he is taking support from both but Johnson is actually taking slightly more votes away from Clinton. (Marist was a very accurate poll during primaries. 94% prediction rate.)
Trump however is losing supporters to Clinton. People are asking themselves, "do I vote for someone with severe ethical and policy issues or do I vote for someone who I actually question whether or not he's sane". And they are choosing to vote for questionable ethics.
Bottom line this election is sad. What terrible awful choices.
So tired of the term "main stream media." Get over it folks. TV and papers report/comment on the passing scene. The daily give and take is only teinted by the FOX "talking points" which routinely include shots against Dems. Don't believe this ? Watch the Leg Show today .
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange who appeared on a Dutch TV show suggested that a murdered Democratic National Committee staffer, 27 year old Seth Rich, was at least one of the sources for the leaked emails that led to several resignations and terminations, among them Former DNC Chair Debbie Wassermann-Schultz.
Rich was murdered in early July, shot multiple times in the back as he was walking down the street. His wallet, watch, cell phone, and credit cards were not taken.
It appears that Mr Rich received the Vince Foster treatment for those who oppose Hillary Clinton.
We have watched for the last 7 years, as the Obama regime has worked overtime to divide the country for political gain. White privilege against blacks being discriminated against everywhere, Men are basically rapists and anti-women at heart, especially white men. If you are not college educated and white, you are now trailer trash, read that several times on this site. Police are the enforcers of hated capitalism and racist and it is understandable that blacks in their frustration would kill police. Muslims have now become the favored religion of the democratic party. Christians have been the cause of racism, war and every other negative impulse of mankind. People who have been displaced by global trade deals are just losers who are whining when they are loosing ground. Anyone who owns guns, should be monitored because they are dangerous to democracy. Or is it dangerous to Totalitarianism. The list goes on. The democrats endorse the racist Black lives matter movement, Hillary uses the father of a mass murderer to show she is sympathetic to Muslims. People who support the positions of Trump are to be humiliated, pressured to renounce, etc. Does anyone ever step back and ask what will be the conclusion of all this division and hatred? Do people really believe that after Nov. 8 all this is going to go away. Is everyone going to forget what has been insinuated by the leaders of the country on both sides? This path has been intentionally taken by Obama, is it his being black?, it seems he has a deep seated hated for anything to do with white society or culture or really America in general. He has been very successful in dividing the country, can anyone ever put it all back again. If Hillary is elected and sets the next supreme court, we will see the ideology of Obama and Clinton being shoved down the throat of the rest of America, no consensus, just like the Affordable care act. People are asleep as to the long term consequences of such a divided nation.
Gary W. Gorman writes;
I watched the speech live. "Joking" or not, it was disgraceful as is most, if not all, of his campaign. Secretary Clinton should file an ethics complaint and another one with the House Oversight Committee of the Secret Service for not immediately and vigorously investigating his threat against her. BTW, I don't believe, "I was joking" is an actual defense against threatening to cause an assignation.
Nothing in the world does more to assure me that the nation is doing well and on the right track than incessant, conservative whining!
It truly warms my heart to see their misery!
Gorman, it was bill Clinton that was into assignation.
Here's the best logic:
Hillary Clinton has a poor record of performance and character IN political office.
Donald Trump is ASSUMED to become more of the same. However, he has NOT ever been in political office.
I'll go with the OPPORTUNITY to see something better from our government. Why not vote Trump over just more Hillary?
@8:58 According to Hillary, it's best to just overlook her past and presume that Trump is this incompetent fool.
Just because he's worth over $10 Billion from his business acumen is immaterial.
CNC broadcasts should be listed on Hillary's contributions as contributions in kind.
Julian Assange has just stated that Seth Rich, the democratic committee worker who was murdered, shot in the back, no items taken, was the source of the hacked emails of the DNC, not the Russians. I am sure this is just a coincidental random act.
When people, including Bernie, insist that both candidates for office are awful, even dangerous if elected, they stop too short. If we accept their premise, there's a need to also hear recommended solutions for when we all step into the voting booth.
Amazingly, we never get this guidance. Not from here, the clueless Bill White, nor most message board posters who claim the same dilemma. So, why not?
Because they always planned to vote Democrat no matter what!
Assange is about as credible as Herr Trump.

Are you so stupid that I or the "clueless" Bill White must tell you how to cast your vote? I am telling you exactly what I mean. There is NO candidate worthy of a vote. None. Not Trump. Not Clinton. Not Libertarian. Not Green. I have long advocated for changes in our voting, including a "None of the above" choice. It is time to insist on real reforms.
10.39 Usual answer, Assange is not credible, is there a record of this man not being credible? His record of telling the truth has far outpaced Hillary Clinton's. The man in Dc is Dead, do you want to debate that fact? Do you think that Assange can not prove Rich is the source of the email hack? There is going to be a lot of revelations before November.
11:06 AM
You have to actually 'read' the article for yourself. Rush and Hannity aren't here to tell you what to think.
@10:39 with your Hitler reference, you lost all credibility about anything.
Using the German word for Mr. is a Hitler reference?
Interesting world you live in. I'll bet you've got tiny, tiny hands too.
@11:23 did you flush your brains down the toilet with the rest of your krap ?
@11:23 In the context you presented it, yes, it is a Hitler reference.

http://www.newsweek.com/holocaust-memorial-day-anne-frank-refugee-crisis-donald-trump-420312
Bernie, in trying to equate death threats with political business, you are a disgrace.
I love when an anonymous person tells me I am a disgrace. I did not accuse Trump of making a death threat. I accused him of saying what he said, which was dangerous and irresponsible. Anyone who wants to see the video can do so and draw his or her own conclusions.
Let me add that the Hitler comparisons are inappropriate and diminish his evil. Godwin's Law claims that the first person to make a Hitler comparison loses the argument.
So, Anne Frank's stepsister loses the argument?
Head on over to Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post. He gets likened to Hitler just about every day. I think they might know better than us.
It is an inappropriate hyperbolic comparison, and is little different than joking that the 2A crowd should do something about Hillary. If you want to make such a comparison, do it in a context that explains why it is appropriate. Otherwise, it actually diminishes the severity of the Holocaust.
I understand I should have used the references to support my claims instead of just posting the links. My apologies.

"Prior to publishing the trio of Clinton-related fabrications, the same site and blogger held that President Obama had ordered the military to nuke the city of Charleston (which didn't happen), that Rear Admiral Rick Williams was fired because he revealed Obama's purchase of a mansion in Dubai (Williams was actually terminated for misconduct), and that Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama were enmeshed in a potentially conflict-starting dispute over the practices of the Monsanto agribusiness corporation."
yet some people will buy into anything.
God help us! There are some willfully stupid and ignorant people posting on this site. By that I mean people who have firmly held beliefs about things they actually know little or nothing about. No wonder Trump has the support he does. Our only hope is that there are more voters with functioning brain stems.
Sounds like Bernie will go into the voting booth and write-in a name for President. Fine! Quite common for so many to condemn Trump, refuse to cast a vote for him, yet are NOT comfortable taking ownership of Hillary who is a continuation of the decline in government many now see.
Lots of write-ins coming up. Promote those alternative choices!
"Each time Donald Trump says something, in contrast, the main-stream media automatically designate it as "not Presidential", idiotic, racist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic, and/or Islamophobic."
They are playing the tapes of his words. How is that "making" it anything. He says the things he says. Trump needs no help from the media in destroying any chance he had at getting elected. How is it the media's fault if they are just replaying what the man says.
The real scary thing is he says all of those things and you don't realize he portrays himself as those labels because his supporters are all ok with his hate.
Recently seen on facebook,
Trump didn't mean that; what he meant was....
Said the people who like Trump because he says what he means.
lol
Video IS available, Hillary Clinton said the following in 2008:
"We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.” to explain why she was remaining in the race.
In another related interview, Hillary Clinton said:
“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until… the middle of June, and we all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California,”
Mature people know what she meant by these remarks. That being, things can change due to unexpected events, even violent acts.
Double standard here?
It's amazing that Democrats are concerned about the immigration status of ONE WOMAN, when there are millions of Illegal Aliens in this country they don't give a damn about.
The fun is only just beginning. Still to come are more WikiLeaks emails, Clinton Foundation operation, and questions about Hillary's declining health as evidenced by public behaviors.
Bernie: As a former fellow alkie, who from time to time STILL falls from Grace only to regret and apologize, at least my boozing locations and situations showed me real life: And it usually looked, in New York, Texas, California (30 years ago) and YES, Even In Chicago!!! more like Trump's vision of America than what Bozo and Billary orgasm over... just s
ayin'
@3:00 I don't expect the mainstream media or Bernie, or Bill White or any other prominent Democrat to say a word about any of that.
It's funny that Bernie didn't write a blog story about the father of the terrorist in Orlando that was sitting right behind Hillary Clinton at her rally there.
One has to wonder why he supports Hillary Clinton and would have such a seat of honor at her rally? It's not the kind of place a person walking in off the street would be at.
Two things,
First, in 2008 after Clinton referenced the death of RFK the media did cover it. In fact Keith Oberman from MSNBC, of all people called her out for her despicable comments. She apologized two days later. So there is that. Issue then goes away. Trump can never apologize for anything as it is not in his DNA.
Second, I have been watching CNN today and they are covering the Wiki leaks Clinton email controversy pretty heavily.
The problem is if you only listen to hate radio and Fox hate news, you will be told that is not happening, so you have no real reference point fro comparison. You really need to step out of the echo chamber to know what is really happening in the world.
Besides Fox needs to raise more money form you folk to pay for Roger 'Jabba the Hutt' Ailes sexual harassment lawsuit. According to some Fox annalists the women are to blame. So there is that, wow!
3:46 -
It's amazing how all the Trump attacks are beginning to ratchet up this early. It's frenzy. This could be a sign of desperation knowing the protective bubble over Hillary Clinton is starting to show punctures. There is SO MUCH wrong with Hillary, and it will be impossible to hide all of it.
Prepare for more of the blind liberal name-calling against anything and any person. Won't work this time.
@4:19 PM Like *everything* isn't wrong with Trump? At least she is qualified to be president, and has the right temperament - and those are just for starters.
The "desperation" is all going to be in Trump's camp - the polls are settling to a very, very bad place for him {sad truth}.
"It's funny that Bernie didn't write a blog story about the father of the terrorist in Orlando that was sitting right behind Hillary Clinton at her rally there."
Please explain what the great significance of this is. The guy is a Clinton supporter. He was not invited personally. Clinton disavowed his support within a few hours, unlike Trump never apologizing or disavowing anything.
@4:56 I worked on national campaigns. Specifically the 1976 Carter Campaign.
NO ONE sits behind the candidate like that unless they are invited to and they are assigned a seat.
The general public stands or sits in the audience in front of the podium/stage.
This man was invited by the Clinton campaign to sit there. Another lie.
What is amusing here is Mr Trump's ability to bait the media and Hillary Clinton into hysteria over absolutely nothing. His statement about Hillary and the Second Amendment got her spin machine into full strength mode with the media in full compliance. According to Hillary, Trump was calling on “Second Amendment People” to use their evil guns to kill someone or other.
After all, Democrats believe that Trump’s followers are barely civilized, some of them in more distant regions man-ape hybrids. And everyone knows that “Second Amendment people” are using that as disguise of their true nature as bloodthirsty assassins.
The media are once again making themselves appear ridiculous, twisting Trump’s words and exposing their own disdain for Trump’s followers. What this is all about is an effort by Trump to show just how ridiculous Hillary Clinton and her media lapdogs are. This incident just shows they are not fairly reporting his campaign, and also anger his base to turn out. Additionally, Clinton and the media discredit themselves in the eyes of the general public.
Look, these are people who despise him and are going to write bad things about him anyway, so why not push them over the edge into revealing more than they intend about their own prejudices?
@5:30, that is why the Secret Service had to investigate the incident. The man is a loose cannon and is not running for town council but President of the United Sates and leader of the free World. His off hand comments are his own. The Press does not have to do anything but repeat his words. Get out of the echo chamber. Your own candidate is losing the most winnable election for Republicans in decades.
Read the comment at 2:05, best post so far!
@5:30 Now just HOW did the Secret Service "Investigate the incident"?
What "Incident" ? The reality is is that Clinton and the Democrats became completely unhinged in their hatred for Trump. They've slipped their moorings from reality.
Their responses are very consistent with the tone and direction of the media as they are manhandled by Mr. Trump.
Trump is far, far smarter and more crafty than he is given credit for. Perfect? No. Always on target or message. No. But who is? It sure is fun watching, reading, and listening to these media twits who think they have so many people fooled. Unfortunately, there remain too many that are fooled.
I wish I could work on his campaign staff doing PR work. It would be fun.
Bernie, the folks I know that are responsible people with jobs and families and own firearms would never hurt anyone unless they had to defend themselves.
The real news story today is did Hillary Clinton's State Department accept payments from foreign governments for favorable decisions ?
After all, the Clinton's $100 million plus fortune had to come from somewhere.
Peggy,You are absolutely correct. Even most 2A advocates are far from violent. They just love guns the way some people love cars, and I admit there is a beauty in them. Some are true works of art. But there is a fringe group of people looking for trouble.
Everything Hillary has ever touched has failed, been engulfed in scandal, resulted in massive investigations, litigation, financial ruin, prison or death. The final stage of any Hillary enterprise is a grand announcement that Hillary did not technically break the law.
Or no one can prove she did. Or, even if she did, no one ever gets prosecuted for it.
The only way a Republican should be in the Whitehouse is if they are mopping the floor or serving drinks.
Now we find out that another honored guest at Hillary events is the father of Omar Mateen, the Muslim jihadist who murdered 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando a few months ago. On Monday night, he attended a Hillary rally where he sat cheering, right behind her on the stage.
Is David Duke’s father given VIP seating at Trump events? Did David Duke gun down 49 people in June? Or ever? Or anyone?
Ya hu, lets get it on.
I wonder if Trump hired that suction cup climber to take the eyeballs of the press off his statement without taking them off him.
Or maybe the suction climber is a crisis actor hired to take their eyeballs off the 73-year-old retiree killed during a citizen police academy drill.
Just seems like local and national press have a 24hr APB out on distraction.
Trump is a chump.
Jamie, I will say, if Trump is in fact the smartest man in the room and is playing everyone like a fiddle, we will soon see how good he really is at this "game". The only "woi9nner" is the person who becomes President. Anything short of that is a waste of everyone's time. In fact if he is playing a big time head game with people and loses the election every republican should be pissed at him for screwing over the country for the sake of a joke.
Sorry but it is just to bizarre to believe.
The Reuters news service has poured cold water on CNN’s overheated claim that the Secret Service warned Donald Trump’s campaign that his gun-rights rhetoric seemed to threaten the safety of Hillary Clinton.
CNN Frieks out.....

this from the same guy who claimed

"ust hours before the shooting in Orlando, Seddique Mateen posted a video on a Facebook page called “Provisional Government of Afghanistan — Seddique Mateen.” In it, he seems to be pretending to be Afghanistan’s president, and he orders the arrest of an array of Afghan political figures."
so you can believe him or the spokesman for the Hillary campaign.
"This individual wasn't invited as a guest and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event."
which person is more credible?
another point: how is the father at fault for the sons actions?

In my experience, the addition of "formal" is usually not an accident. This indicates that it's at least still plausible that the Secret Service pulled Trump aside and said something to the equivalent of "Knock it off, groucho."
