There is no way to justify it !

The misguided dog & pony show of rhetoric by Barack Hussein Obama has clouded
many Americans judgement of common sense...this is evident by their actions

Here are a few others;

America became what it is by NOT depending on government.
Social Security was NEVER intended to be a retirement plan.
Entry level jobs were NEVER intended to support a family rather
the first step on a ladder to improve one's self to get to the next run.


" It ain't politically correct, just correct."

It appears ol' Hill was describing her own constituents as deplorables.....

And the real racists and the real haters truly lost.

I'm all for questioning authority when it bears questioning. But the current crowd that lost are fomenting true hate, true racism and total anarchy.

My wife has even noticed they are joining the 'tin foil hat wearing preppers'. Be careful folks, these people are truly dangerous to America.

This is actually a good point.

If you don't have a job and can't make ends meet, and someone offers you money to protest... you will take the money and protest.

Thank goodness -- my life-long liberal registered democrat cousin emailed me last night, and said she is finally fed up and registering Monday as an independent. She said she still plans to vote democrat, but thinks it's the only way she can send a message to her party to shape up.
Hope more dems do the same.

I'm a Democrat but never rioted or protested when Obama was elected not once but twice. I may not have liked it but that's the way Democracy works and you have to respect that. Please don't think all Democrats were in Obama's corner and supported him.

Then it's also the case that rioting by a few anti-Trump supporters does not represent what anti-Trump people as a whole. I'm *firmly* in the anti-Trump camp and I call the violence truly deplorable (intentional word choice).

As for the violence, consider that it's very likely they were anarchists, especially the ones smashing a Bank of America branch and a next door Starbucks (consistent with those hooligans); as anyone who remembers Seattle 1998 will tell you. Anarchists are NOT "liberals", and in fact despise the 'touchy feely leftists' as much as they do 'traditional values conservatives'". Anarchists, in short, are criminals dressing themselves in the trappings of political activism.

I didn't like Trump at all and didn't want him to be our candidate. But after what I've been seeing I'll certainly support any actions he takes against these thugs.

Anyone?
Completely agree! I didn't care for the way Trump handled his campaign & I didn't vote for him ... however, the ones who angrily protest, destroy property, block traffic, and commit violent acts are only helping Trump and the Republicans while making the liberals & anti Trumpers look like malicious idiots. Worst of all, their protests don't solve anything, and the protestors don't contribute anything positively to their so called cause. To hell with them!

Very scary that a high number of them stand out.

If you read my comment more closely you would see I was referring more to the posters remarks than to he anti Trump Americans in general. I have friends who do not support him and can not stand him, our foster daughter in Portland for one, but she would never march or protest publicly.
