Trump and Cohen's claims may be tested

Remember when Donald Trump said that he could "shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue, and I wouldn't lose any votes"?

And remember when Michael Cohen said "he would take a bullet for Donald Trump"?

Well, if the U.S. Attorney's investigation continues down the road it's currently on, those two claims may very well be tested.

any asshole can give an opinion, but only people in authority can carry it out.

Sure, they can use the IG's opinion as grounds to move on someone, but your post made it seem like he could really do something.

There have been many "referrals" from Republican sycophants, including the house and Senate, yet the Justice Department has yet to act against anyone.

Let's not give these morons too much credit. If they move on McCabe, that's his problem. It will have no effect on the investigation. That horse has left the barn.

we have to be dealt with thru violence.

The ONLY way this country was to survive them, wait for them to die off, is if we had liberals or democrats in charge.

EAch generation there are less and less of course, but this Russian attack might be our end. Lets see what happens, in the meantime

VOTE

FOR not only ANY democrat but the MOST likely to win, for instance if that means voting for Joe Manchin, DO IT

The other side are all bluster.

As you've noticed, when their country called, they all had stomach aches, bone spurs or bead soars. Trump, LaPeirre and the like.

I grew up rubbing elbows with revolutionaries in the late 1960's and early 70's. These current overweight, old farts will bitch at their local bars and to each other, but they have no balls to really act out on their bullshit threats.

Don't be scared.

I don't mean to say you are frightened for yourself, but frightened that our nation could be plunged into violence by Trump supporters.

There is nothing to be concerned about. They are cowards and loud mouth pieces of shit. Just like the teabaggers that spawned them, only they're 8 years older.

Political violence usually starts on the campuses and with the young. Social violence is a result of being oppressed, not privileged. The demographics of Trump supporters are old, white uneducated, stupid, privledged cowards.

Simple. Have dump take the fake lawyer out to the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot him.

Cohen couldn't testify or flip on dump.

Dump would be considered a strongman.

The base would love the use of a weapon.

The rest of the US wouldn't bemoan the loss of one of these aholes.

(Of course dump would actually have to know how to use a firearm, and probably accurately...)

Trump will shoot Cohen. But we need to add Hannity in the mix. Let's say he'll throw himself in front of Cohen.
