Der Drumpfenfurher threatens Bernie

Christopher Hayes ?@chrislhayes 13m13 minutes ago

Christopher Hayes Retweeted Donald J. Trump

Thug

Christopher Hayes added,

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disruptors aren't told to go to my events. Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to yours!

If anything happens at a Bernie event, we know now who to credit.

PS, the lie about Bernie supporters causing problems at the Drumpfenfurher's events comes from the white supremacist Trump family friends. He has studied his hero well.

Sturmabteilung

The Sturmabteilung (SA; German pronunciation: [ˈʃtʊɐ̯mʔapˌtaɪlʊŋ] ( listen); literally "Storm Detachment&quot functioned as the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party.

It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Their primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of opposing parties, fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties, especially the Red Front Fighters League of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), and intimidating Slavic and Romani citizens, unionists, and Jews – for instance, during the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses.

The SA have been known in contemporary times as "Brownshirts" from the color of their uniform shirts, similar to Benito Mussolini's blackshirts. The SA developed pseudo-military titles for its members. The SA ranks were adopted by several other Nazi Party groups, chief amongst them the Schutzstaffel (SS), which originated as a branch of the SA before being separated. Brown-coloured shirts were chosen as the SA uniform because a large batch of them were cheaply available after World War I, having originally been ordered during the war for colonial troops posted to Germany's former African colonies.[1]

The SA became disempowered after Adolf Hitler ordered the "blood purge" of 1934. This event became known as the Night of the Long Knives. The SA was effectively superseded by the SS, although it was not formally dissolved and banned until after the Third Reich's final capitulation to the Allied powers in 1945.

Bernie supporters or not? You can't have Sanders supporters taking credit for the disruption and then call it a lie at the same time.

He can't be threatening to disrupt events. He will be asked about any problem at a Sanders event.

Reports: Mr. Trump, what about your supporters physically attacking people at the Sanders rally?

Trump: Screw you.

Result: Poll numbers increase.

6. Trump is totally in over his head and dangerous, and wants to escalate the fighting.

He doesn't know the meaning of the word careful.
Bernie is smart and careful but needs to watch out as Trump will try to pull him into the fray.

They are claiming that Bernie is telling them to do this. Its projection really - the Trumpkins will do or cheer anything he says.

5. Do you ever get the feeling the old meme about peaceful transfer of power is coming to an end.

There are too many out there who really believe in so called 2nd amendment solutions. Surely they swarm Trump like moths to a flame. The crazies are out there.

9. Yep, it's been a steady evolution of "it is happening here"

It's come not so much wrapped in the flag, but wrapped in a fundamental democratic process of nominating a leader.

The dog-whistling isn't silent, in the world where a candidates wish is his followers command, this is an obvious call to confrontation.

11. I wouldn't put it past Trump to hire disruptors.

Just as he hired supporters for his candidacy announcement.

I'm sure there are legitimate protesters at his rallies, but I doubt all of them are.

He's creating great divisions in our country. We have already been divided, but this divide may get someone killed; or cast a hard to heal break amongst Americans.
