I think she's scum, too. They're both scum. But, she threw a punch first, and she has no right to do that. If this went to court, she should be convicted of battery.

How? It's not even clear a punch landed. All you see is her throwing her hand over the people holding her back. For all we know her punch went nowhere and he sprayed her anyway.

Throwing a punch at someone is assault. Hitting them is battery. Taking a swing at someone is a crime. And, a punch need not land in order for a person to have a right to defend himself or herself. She also, when she's yelling at the older guy with the paper in his hand, hits his arm with a downward strike. That is an assault and battery.

She's free to protest, but she's out there taking swings at people.

Bernie's Brown Shirts strike again. Where's the anti-fascists when you need them? :{D
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I can see the eventual prez getting assassinated this time. There's so much anger at the moment and all the candidates, ,whoever gets elected, are going to piss someone off a real lot.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but only insipid assholes think America is a democracy.

I know many people quite rightly point out that The US is a republic rather than a democracy, but there's a lot of voting going on in the US, and not just at the federal level. Even your Sheriffs are elected.

Anyway, back to other jokes:

Ouch...

...The National Review takes a gigantic dumph on Herr Drumpf and the Drumpfstains, and by gravity, our own ardent little Dew-drop, Rumpholder of the Old Bailey...

...

Trump supporters, no one should let you off of that bandwagon now. You should be handcuffed to that Titanic you volunteered to crew.

Donald Trump didn’t suddenly change in the past few days, weeks or months. He’s the same guy he always was, the same guy that most of us in the conservative movement and GOP have been staunchly opposing for the past year. He didn’t abruptly become reckless, obnoxious, ill-informed, erratic, hot-tempered, pathologically dishonest, narcissistic, crude and catastrophically unqualified for the presidency overnight. He’s always been that guy, and you denied it and ignored it and hand-waved it away and made excuses every step of the way because you were convinced that you were so much smarter than the rest of us. You were so certain that you had received some superior wavelength giving you special insight into the Donald; only you could tell that it was all an act. Only you could grasp that his constant courting of controversy was just to get attention from the media. Only you could instinctively sense that his style would play brilliantly in the general election and win over working-class Democrats. (SPOILER ALERT: It isn’t.) You insisted that you could “coach him.”

You came to those conclusions not because you’re smarter than the rest of us, but because you’re actually more foolish than the rest of us. You insisted Occam’s Razor couldn’t possibly be true– that Trump acts the way he does because this is who he is, this is the way he is all the time, and he will always be like this. You fooled yourself into believing that Trump was playing this nine-level chess that only you and a few others could perceive and understand. Only you could see the long game. There is no long game. He’s winging it. There is no grand strategy. There is no master plan. Trump doesn’t look ahead to the next sentence, much less the next step in getting elected.

“Our candidate is mental?” No Shinola, Sherlock, some conservatives said this from day one and all we got for it was the alt-Right vomiting forth endless vitriol and profanity and threats. Oh, what’s that? Trump’s Twitter behavior is “utterly stupid”, Newt? Thanks for noticing; six days ago you were telling the media there was absolutely nothing about Trump that worries you. Maybe your previous comparison of Trump to Reagan was frankly, fundamentally, profoundly wrong from A to Z. “Trump only cares about Trump”? Gee, thank you, turncoat former insider, for this shocking bit of secret intelligence. News flash, some of us didn’t need to work for Trump for several months to figure that out. We saw it, we said it, and you called us liars for saying it.



Technically we’re supposed to welcome previous Trump fans-turned-foes with open arms. But barring some miraculous comeback by Ted Cruz, the Trump campaign will have cost the Republican Party the presidency after eight years of Obama, and perhaps the Senate and even the House – and Scalia’s replacement on the Court as well. Years of effort spent attempting to dispel the accusations of inherent Republican misogyny, xenophobia, hypocrisy, ignorance and blind rage have been undone by Trump’s campaign. And every Trump advocate in front of a camera had a hand in this.

We’re not just gonna hug it out.
