The actions of a few fools bothers me way less than the public and media support of what should be unacceptable behavior.

well said my friend.

Even people in his party have to talk to him through TV.

I didn't care for Obama because of his policies and how I felt he didn't address situations that would benefit all "Americans" but only select groups. Had nothing to do with the man's color - but that's what his supporters assumed.

I'm called a Trumper because I do believe many of his policies will benefit this country - but I don't always agree with him or how he handles things. To you on the left - I'm still considered a Trumper - and yet I think most of the so called "Trumpers" are just like me - we look at this administration as mostly positive but there are things we disagree with and may have done differently ourselves.

As far as I'm concerned - Trump has made himself more available to the common man by doing so many rallies even before the upcoming elections mattered - than any other president in recent history.

well said xray. those of us on the right like trumps policies, and we have for longer than trump has been running for office. i liked them when reagan was implementing them.

It's is poetic justice watching this strutting pretentious phony being insulted. If anyone deserves it, she does.

People keep asking 'whatever happened to consequences and being held to account?' This is what happens--people react in kind.

"....Pam Bondi attempted to attend a screening of the Mister Rogers documentary a day after announcing her plan to end protections for health care consumers with pre-existing conditions. Here, via @timintampa, is what happened....."

Sounds like she is very deserving of being called out.

there is a time and place for everything, and when someone is sitting down to have a quiet dinner with their friends and loved ones, is not the time or place. these protesters not only disrupt the people they are after, they also disrupt others as well.



if you want to express your dissatisfaction with someone, or the things they do, then write to the papers, get on TV and let your words be heard, get on the radio, get in their face when they are campaigning for office, but dont do it when they are in a restaurant having dinner. that only shows how shrill the left have gotten.

i dont agree with harassing women who go into planned parenthood clinics either. but i also dont agree with abortion either.

Whoever told you that your side gets to win every election was lying to you. Handle it like a grownup.

well said my friend. we have to get civility back into politics.

Tweet it to the president--his mission is to make it uncivil, and he's been successful at it.

Americans like it fine, liberal fascists don't. It's funny, liberals use Nazi brownshirt tactics day in and day out and then call everyone else Nazis.

Under your fuhrer, Barack Obama, the Republicans did not act out like this, even though they had no more respect for Obama than lefsts do for Trump.

I don't think a movie theater on her private time is the time or place to protest what she does and what she stands for. Visit her at her office. Attend government meetings that are open to the public.


But---it's the height of irony that she was going to see the new Mr. Rogers movie...about a man who was genuinely all about kindness. Wonder what he would say about some of the policies she wants and enforces?

more detail and a video

Quote:
"The video they are choosing to share is of the least aggressive portion of the attack that transpired after police arrived to control the scene. What they are not sharing publicly are several previous encounters involving large men getting in the Attorney General's face, spitting and blocking her exit," Ray said.

Fox News reports that Bondi, who was watching a documentary about Mr. Rogers, didn't think that the activist's behavior aligned with what Mr. Rogers taught.

"We were in a movie about anti-bullying and practicing peace and love and tolerance and accepting of people for their differences," she said. “We all believe in free speech, but there's a big difference there."
