Some angry SJW can never Stump the Trump. A thousand angry protesters can not Stump the Trump. How do you think this is suddenly going to change? And as far 'lol open political warfare Trump can't handle it?" He nearly got assaulted and held another rally an hour later. Clearly he just can't handle it
Then why so upset? Why bother sucker-punching a protester? Why call for people to be carried out on a stretcher? Why advocate harsher penalties for protesters? Why have /r/The_Donald get hyped up about some phony-baloney "a year in jail for protesting anywhere the secret service is" nonsense?
Sounds a lot to me like Trump and his supporters are pretty scared of getting stumped.
Your suspicion that the ISIS stuff is a hoax might very well be correct.
That still does not erase all the American hating by DiMassimo.
The hatred and racism of too many BLM supporters has probably seeped into his psyche, thus clouding his judgement. Dude needs Buddha and/or Yoda and/or Jesus and/or a peaceful philosopher--and fast. I worry for anyone and everyone that gets overwhelmed by rage. Tragedy will follow shortly, guaranteed.
And yet, Trump was so quick to tweet that DiMassimo was an ISIS supporter, and went on to repeat that assertion on national television. Definitely the discretion and critical thinking skills we need in a leader.
The hatred and racism of too many BLM supporters has probably seeped into his psyche, thus clouding his judgement.
This is precisely why extremist philosophies are so dangerous. They take people above and beyond the intent of a movement. People on both sides need to strive for understanding instead of exclusion. When neither side can recognize the legitimacy of their opponent's argument meaningful discussion breaks down entirely.

Obama passes a law aimed at protecting people. Trump has nothing to do with its passage. He later states he will follow the letter of the law, that is supposed to protect people on both sides, and Tiax blames Trump for wanting to use the law. No criticism by Tiax of Obama for creating the law. And here I had hoped Tiax was interacting in good faith. Double standard exposed.
I am still waiting for Bernie to disavow x12.
Have a good day.

While I don't actually support Donald Trump or any current candidate, I feel like he has become kind of an avatar of what the USA is all about in recent years. He would be a fitting president. I don't know if he would be a good one.
I provided a link with dozens of pics. Did u look through it? Please enlighten as to the "real" meaning of all the words and pics.
None of those are instances of him trying to make himself look like an ISIS supporter. As far as I can see, there's no evidence he created the video with the ISIS flag. It wasn't on his channel, he didn't upload it, and it doesn't look like the person who did upload it likes him. If you have some evidence that he was involved in that video, I'd like to see it.
Put it all together, and all signs point to the video Trump tweeted being either a hoax or an effort to troll DiMassimo.
Your suspicion that the ISIS stuff is a hoax might very well be correct.

No, the law in question is from 1971. The amendment made under Obama has nothing to do with the issue at hand. And either way, the law doesn't make it illegal to protest at rallies.

Beautifully and wisely stated. I concur.
I hope and pray that no further violence will occur. But we all know the current reality.

We're not afraid. Just tired of this nonsense happening, man. Trump is turning into the scapegoat to push all the frustration of both liberals and conservatives both onto, and his supporters are left hurt the most.
I wish all the protesters would just stop. I don't say this as someone fed up, I say this as their enemy. This is just going to make him stronger, his movement stronger. His support and those not even supporting him are going to rally behind him even more after these atrocities. He's going to need the national guard and an Iron Man suit to protect him by the end of this election. I truly believe a real threat is going to be made on his life hear soon. Not 'dawn my tin foil hate' conspiracy theory, just everything escalates to a peek and if it isn't contained or satisfied in some way it just gets more and more radical. No matter how you feel about Donald Trump he doesn't deserve to die. There are people making #AssassinateTrump groups on facebook not to mention actual close friends of mine openly advocating for him to die. This is appalling, no matter who you support.

This whole thing is a myth dreamed up by Fox News, and the latched onto by Trump supporters fantasizing about locking up protesters.
Obama agreed with the slight revision to an older law, and signed it. Practically every other D and R politician involved in the process agreed with the change. I am fine with the revision. It sure seems like it expanded secret service powers during a rally. I am fine with that too, btw. Thus it still appears that disrupting a rally is illegal when secret service are involved.
How does a revision to the law have "nothing to do with the issue at hand?" Curious.
You appear to think Fox and/or Obama are the key points. Not sure why. I be focused.

Standing with one color of racists against a different color of racists is a recipe of fail.
He is an America hater, so he might not even care about the stars n bars.

The revision has nothing to do with the issue at hand, because the part they changed didn't change whether it's illegal to protest at rallies. Even if the law did mean that it was illegal to protest at rallies, it certainly wasn't the revision passed under Obama that made it so. So, when you suggest that I'm not interacting in good faith because I'm not criticizing Obama over the law, that just reveals how uninformed you are about the situation.

I concede your first point.
To your second there's nothing inherently wrong. It just really appears to be the majority of angry people on the left are people with useless degrees with a crap load of debt working crap jobs because someone lied to them. They were lied to. We have all been told to 'follow our dreams' from the earliest instance of our lives we can recollect. "I want to be a fireman! I want to be an artist! I want to be president!" that's awesome, we should be doing that. What happens is that very rarely, especially in my personal experience, do people have the ability to achieve these things. The way school systems are set up is disastrous and always push these young kids to take out government financed loans to pay for their 'dreams.' The majority use this to their advantage and don't have issues getting a good degree and a decent job once they graduate. It's the vocal minority you hear the most about screaming about how the system is broken and how it's the rich people's fault while taking none of the blame themselves. Why is Gender Studies a major for someone taking out loans? Can anyone give me an actual reason why? That degree is useless, just like a degree in 1800's french poetry. Yet, we have these young kids doing this instead of being practical and going for something, while, not their 'dream', will not leave them crippled in debt and make them a functional, tax paying, contributing member of society. Because they were lied to.

Are degrees in Computer science, biology, physics, history, Mathematics, chemistry, and anthropology useless? I totally understand your point that there are useless degrees but not all of the are useless, and most of them are very useful. The government could certainly do more to make colleges steer students towards more useful degrees and away from a degree in art history for example, but that is a different point. My point is that "liberal arts" should not be used as an insult. We as a society should be thankful that young people can get an education because more educated people helps society function better even if they have a useless degree in art history.

Obama revised the law, and signed it. He has been responsible for the contents of that law ever since. So have MANY other politicians.
Here is a section from the link u provided:
"The law merely updates a measure that has been on the books since it was signed by then-President Richard Nixon in 1971, making it a federal crime to trespass on grounds secured by the Secret Service."

I provided a link about MoveOn.org. Did u read it? I then shared my impressions about MoveOn.org. How was that unclear to you? MoveOn.org declared, once again, open political warfare. Savvy?
MoveOn.org are self-important idiots, but they've been around for over a decade and "declared war" on lots of stuff in that time. Somehow nobody else ends up getting into physical altercations with them -- just Trump supporters. Could it be that when the man you look up to tells you that you should use violence against protesters and enjoy it, that influences your behavior?

You're using insults to demean your opponent as a lazy substitute for actual structured thought. Trump employs this language of weakness, patheticness, cowardice against his opponents to create an image of strength for himself: he's Mr. Alpha Male, big and dominant, while everybody else is a shrinking submissive. He's the only guy who will stand up to Mexico and ISIS and Russia and yadda yadda yadda. You, having fallen into the tribe of Mr. Alpha Male, are now aping his language and rhetorical tactics by calling this guy a weakling.
But look at what he's actually doing in that picture. He's standing alone in front of a crowd of angry racists, and goading them to fight him. (And yes, people waving the Confederate flag may safely be assumed to be racist.) I might call that counterproductive, I might call that stupid, but under no circumstances would I call that weak. It is, in fact, exactly the sort of self-confident confrontational attitude that Trump is trying to sell himself as the sole purveyor of. Were this guy actually running for president, do you honestly believe he'd roll over for Putin any easier than Trump would? This guy, who as an ordinary private citizen with no power at all tried to rush a wealthy and powerful man surrounded by ardent supporters?
Trump wants you to believe he is a coward, but stop and think for yourself whether that makes any sense at all. Key words: think for yourself.

I still have no idea how a few of those are considered 'liberal arts'. Political science is a liberal art and it's basically mandatory to be a politician. I'm not speaking of all liberal arts, just the ones that are blatantly obvious that you have to be insanely talented to excell in. The problem is that our young people are being told that they can per sue these degrees regardless of their situations. Would you advise someone from an inner city that grew up with nothing going to school for acting if he/she wasn't absolutely great? No, of course not. You, as their peer, want to help these young people achieve the best they can. I won't even get into how ridiculous it is, education whise, to become a guidance counselor. But, it's amazing to me anyone even persues this career, which is a career of love, and goes on to steer these young kids in the wrong direction.
I work with 30 young highschool kids a day about to become either adults or go to college. My field is restaurant management. The amount of things these kids do not know is absolutely baffling. There is no reason I should ever, ever have to explain what debt and interest are to a 4.0 GPA full ride future account major. There is no reason that I have to explain the difference between "Military and the army" (Yes seriously) to someone going into the military. I knew these things when I graduated 8 years ago. So, what exactly is going on? This is why the GOP want common core repealed. This is why personal finance should be mandatory, not world history.

Look, I get that it's easy to read legalese and get confused. But think this through for a second. If it had been illegal to protest at rallies since 1971, don't you think you'd have heard about that before now? Think about how many thousands and thousands of people have done that. Were they all put in jail for years?
No. And the reason is that being in the crowd at a rally is not a "restricted building or zone". The law applies to, for example, sneaking your way onto the White House grounds. Or trying to access a hotel floor the security service has blocked off because the president is staying there.

To be frank, and I'm on your side, even here in rural Ohio I've encountered racist confederate flag showing idiots. The paralell in inner cities is much the same with black supremacists that support #BLM no matter what. There are radical groups on both sides. I want Mr. Trump to talk more about racial inequality as it is getting to the point where he finally must addresse this. He's said "I will do more for African Americans in a year than Obama did in 8" with no actual plan other than 'I say so, thus it will happen' This is actually one of my biggest, among a hand full, of criticisms about him. When I see BLM getting so angry at Trump I know a part of it is because he refuses to acknolwedge them. If he would use the same kind of energy and compassion he's shown towards the working class and down trotten towards poor minorities we would be having an entirely different discussion.
Hillary is winning 80% of the black vote. 20% of registered democrats are black. He may be winning the black, hispanic, and other minority vote on the right but he won't win it in the general election. And, trust me, minorities DO vote. And they're going to vote for Hillary in record numbers. I believe he can beat her, I believe he is the best candidate to do so on the right, but he needs to address this. Now. Not later. Now.

One can fly the Confederate battle flag*. One can also fly the Nazi flag. People who choose to actually do either of these things have a very strong tendency to be racists, because those flags carry particular symbolic meanings. Like how people who choose to wear "Live Long and Prosper" t-shirts have a strong tendency to be Star Trek fans.
Then why so upset? Why bother sucker-punching a protester? Why call for people to be carried out on a stretcher? Why advocate harsher penalties for protesters? Why have /r/The_Donald get hyped up about some phony-baloney "a year in jail for protesting anywhere the secret service is" nonsense?
Sounds a lot to me like Trump and his supporters are pretty scared of getting stumped.
And yet, Trump was so quick to tweet that DiMassimo was an ISIS supporter, and went on to repeat that assertion on national television. Definitely the discretion and critical thinking skills we need in a leader.
This is precisely why extremist philosophies are so dangerous. They take people above and beyond the intent of a movement. People on both sides need to strive for understanding instead of exclusion. When neither side can recognize the legitimacy of their opponent's argument meaningful discussion breaks down entirely.

Not 'dawn my tin foil hate' conspiracy theory, just everything escalates to a peek and if it isn't contained or satisfied in some way it just gets more and more radical. No matter how you feel about Donald Trump he doesn't deserve to die. There are people making #AssassinateTrump groups on facebook not to mention actual close friends of mine openly advocating for him to die. This is appalling, no matter who you support.

How does a revision to the law have "nothing to do with the issue at hand?" Curious.
You appear to think Fox and/or Obama are the key points. Not sure why. I be focused.
You assume that they are all racist.. He stomps all over the American flag in his protests, in FRONT of veterans, then when they get mad he goes "THEN TRY SOMETHING" like the weak little pathetic maggot he is trying to provoke geriatric veterans. He's not an ok guy. He's the definition of the people I hate the most in this country.

He is an America hater, so he might not even care about the stars n bars.
You spelled Trump's name incorrectly. I sure hope you are NOT signaling disdain for Germans.
It seems pretty safe to assume that confederate flag flying traitors are racist.
Also what is wrong with being a liberal arts major?
One man's rebel is another man's freedom fighter. Insurgency FTW. We shall overcome.
The revision has nothing to do with the issue at hand, because the part they changed didn't change whether it's illegal to protest at rallies. Even if the law did mean that it was illegal to protest at rallies, it certainly wasn't the revision passed under Obama that made it so. So, when you suggest that I'm not interacting in good faith because I'm not criticizing Obama over the law, that just reveals how uninformed you are about the situation.
I concede your first point.
To your second there's nothing inherently wrong. It just really appears to be the majority of angry people on the left are people with useless degrees with a crap load of debt working crap jobs because someone lied to them. They were lied to. We have all been told to 'follow our dreams' from the earliest instance of our lives we can recollect. "I want to be a fireman! I want to be an artist! I want to be president!" that's awesome, we should be doing that. What happens is that very rarely, especially in my personal experience, do people have the ability to achieve these things. The way school systems are set up is disastrous and always push these young kids to take out government financed loans to pay for their 'dreams.' The majority use this to their advantage and don't have issues getting a good degree and a decent job once they graduate. It's the vocal minority you hear the most about screaming about how the system is broken and how it's the rich people's fault while taking none of the blame themselves. Why is Gender Studies a major for someone taking out loans? Can anyone give me an actual reason why? That degree is useless, just like a degree in 1800's french poetry. Yet, we have these young kids doing this instead of being practical and going for something, while, not their 'dream', will not leave them crippled in debt and make them a functional, tax paying, contributing member of society. Because they were lied to.

Are degrees in Computer science, biology, physics, history, Mathematics, chemistry, and anthropology useless? I totally understand your point that there are useless degrees but not all of the are useless, and most of them are very useful. The government could certainly do more to make colleges steer students towards more useful degrees and away from a degree in art history for example, but that is a different point. My point is that "liberal arts" should not be used as an insult. We as a society should be thankful that young people can get an education because more educated people helps society function better even if they have a useless degree in art history.
Here is a section from the link u provided:
"The law merely updates a measure that has been on the books since it was signed by then-President Richard Nixon in 1971, making it a federal crime to trespass on grounds secured by the Secret Service."
Do u comprehend now?
You're using stereotyping positively now? Does this mean we can stereotype Trump supporters?
You're using insults to demean your opponent as a lazy substitute for actual structured thought. Trump employs this language of weakness, patheticness, cowardice against his opponents to create an image of strength for himself: he's Mr. Alpha Male, big and dominant, while everybody else is a shrinking submissive. He's the only guy who will stand up to Mexico and ISIS and Russia and yadda yadda yadda. You, having fallen into the tribe of Mr. Alpha Male, are now aping his language and rhetorical tactics by calling this guy a weakling.
But look at what he's actually doing in that picture. He's standing alone in front of a crowd of angry racists, and goading them to fight him. (And yes, people waving the Confederate flag may safely be assumed to be racist.) I might call that counterproductive, I might call that stupid, but under no circumstances would I call that weak. It is, in fact, exactly the sort of self-confident confrontational attitude that Trump is trying to sell himself as the sole purveyor of. Were this guy actually running for president, do you honestly believe he'd roll over for Putin any easier than Trump would? This guy, who as an ordinary private citizen with no power at all tried to rush a wealthy and powerful man surrounded by ardent supporters?
Trump wants you to believe he is a coward, but stop and think for yourself whether that makes any sense at all. Key words: think for yourself.

I still have no idea how a few of those are considered 'liberal arts'. Political science is a liberal art and it's basically mandatory to be a politician. I'm not speaking of all liberal arts, just the ones that are blatantly obvious that you have to be insanely talented to excell in. The problem is that our young people are being told that they can per sue these degrees regardless of their situations. Would you advise someone from an inner city that grew up with nothing going to school for acting if he/she wasn't absolutely great? No, of course not. You, as their peer, want to help these young people achieve the best they can. I won't even get into how ridiculous it is, education whise, to become a guidance counselor. But, it's amazing to me anyone even persues this career, which is a career of love, and goes on to steer these young kids in the wrong direction.
I work with 30 young highschool kids a day about to become either adults or go to college. My field is restaurant management. The amount of things these kids do not know is absolutely baffling. There is no reason I should ever, ever have to explain what debt and interest are to a 4.0 GPA full ride future account major. There is no reason that I have to explain the difference between "Military and the army" (Yes seriously) to someone going into the military. I knew these things when I graduated 8 years ago. So, what exactly is going on? This is why the GOP want common core repealed. This is why personal finance should be mandatory, not world history.

"It seems pretty safe to assume that confederate flag flying traitors are racist."
Assume away. Traitors huh? I wonder how many of those folks have owned slaves. And I would like to know how many of those peeps want to legalize slavery.
One can desecrate the US flag, but not fly the stars n bars? It seems to me that some worry too much about pieces of fabric. Attempts to force competent adults to be "good" always backfire.
Look, I get that it's easy to read legalese and get confused. But think this through for a second. If it had been illegal to protest at rallies since 1971, don't you think you'd have heard about that before now? Think about how many thousands and thousands of people have done that. Were they all put in jail for years?
No. And the reason is that being in the crowd at a rally is not a "restricted building or zone". The law applies to, for example, sneaking your way onto the White House grounds. Or trying to access a hotel floor the security service has blocked off because the president is staying there.
To be frank, and I'm on your side, even here in rural Ohio I've encountered racist confederate flag showing idiots. The paralell in inner cities is much the same with black supremacists that support #BLM no matter what. There are radical groups on both sides. I want Mr. Trump to talk more about racial inequality as it is getting to the point where he finally must addresse this. He's said "I will do more for African Americans in a year than Obama did in 8" with no actual plan other than 'I say so, thus it will happen' This is actually one of my biggest, among a hand full, of criticisms about him. When I see BLM getting so angry at Trump I know a part of it is because he refuses to acknolwedge them. If he would use the same kind of energy and compassion he's shown towards the working class and down trotten towards poor minorities we would be having an entirely different discussion.
Hillary is winning 80% of the black vote. 20% of registered democrats are black. He may be winning the black, hispanic, and other minority vote on the right but he won't win it in the general election. And, trust me, minorities DO vote. And they're going to vote for Hillary in record numbers. I believe he can beat her, I believe he is the best candidate to do so on the right, but he needs to address this. Now. Not later. Now.
