So Trump is pretty much calling for a lynch mob...

[annabanana]

He's sneering that the bombing suspect will get medical care, the best for the gunshot wounds. He's very upset that he will get legal representation, the very best in court.

BEWARE you idiots.. If he wants to skip all this for this one citizen, he will have NO QUALMS about skipping these protections for YOU!

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. He needs to acquaint himself with the U.S. Constitution.

Especially that part about due process and all that. He wants to throw the Constitution out of the window instead of defending and protecting it, the gods forbid that he is elected president.

[tclambert]

11. Khizr Khan offered to loan him a copy. But that would require, you know, reading . . .

And reading is for losers.

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. There's also that comprehension thing and big words.

[George II]

14. His fingers are too small to turn the pages.

[OneGrassRoot]

20. ha!!! You win the Internet today! n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

38. He eats pizza

and KFC with a fork. The pizza should disqualify him from calling himself a New Yorker. Fried chicken- the perfect finger food.

[George II]

39. Actually it was Bill DiBlasio (an Italian!) who ate his pizza with a knife and fork. I'll bet...

....he never lived that one down at home.

Trump is the one who at KFC with a knife and fork. Only peons get dirty eating with their hands. I'll bet Trump has someone wipe his butt for him (in addition to all those who KISS his butt!)

[awoke_in_2003]

40. I saw a pic of him

being served pizza, and he had a fork in his hand. He was with Palin. The KFC was on his plane

[George II]

45. Hmmm, never saw that, thanks. The funny thing about the DiBlasio thing was that he's a NY Italian..

....and eating pizza with anything but your hands is sacrilegious. And you have to fold it in half and let the oil run off.

He took a lot of ribbing from that.

[Motley13]

43. Guess that doesn't say much for the food at Trump Tower

[Scarsdale]

50. Roaches

Inspectors at the tRump Tower restaurant found live roaches, plus out of date food. Of course Don the Con will not eat there.

[world wide wally]

13. Republicans and Teabaggers love the Constitution until someone actually explains it to them

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. And they have to explain it very slowly....

[niyad]

24. in VERY small words. . .

[Glassunion]

34. He'd still need it read to him.

[niyad]

46. oh, I LOVE this!!

[PearliePoo2]

2. Unbelievable isn't it, just how stupid he is.

Does Dump prefer the way his best bud "boyfriend" Pooty-Poo does things?
Does he admire how Pooty just shoots or poisons adversaries, the press or anyone else that gets in his way? Pesky problem solved!
Governor Cuomo, when asked about Dump's rant, did a really good job explaining to the ignorant asshole how things work in this country. Although, he did use words that had two or more syllables, so it might have gone right over his stupid, orange-mopped head.

[annabanana]

3. You KNOW he wants to be America's Putin..

Nothing could be clearer.

[lastlib]

47. Putin, HELL--he's shooting for Mussolini!

[dembotoz]

4. the constitution is for his people....others are not worthy

not a matter of ignorance
it is a matter of marshal law

[get the red out]

5. YeS

He wants to keep his minions foaming at the mouth, feeling like they will be the elite and protected while anyone they don't like won't be protected by the laws of this land.

[PJMcK]

7. Agree completely

Minor nit-pick: it's martial. (Wink)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Martial law.

Sorry to nit-pick, but that's a pet peeve of mine. Martial, not marshall.

[Glassunion]

35. Sorry to nitpick, but you don't need a hyphen.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. True. The preferred spelling is nitpick, but I like hyphens.

They give me one more keystroke to execute.

[Odin2005]

6. His supporters think only white Christians deserve rights.

[angrychair]

8. Bingo

His supporters do...white fascist assholes.

[SCantiGOP]

9. Not just Trump

My Senator, Lindsay Graham, who does fall on the sane side of the GOP, is still calling for this guy to be treated as an enemy combatant so we don't have to give him an attorney and let him refuse to talk, or, in other words, be subject to torture.
Why do conservatives mistrust our legal system to handle a petty little terrorist like this?

[bighart]

10. Because they game and manipulate the legal system

with ease and impunity and their expectation is everyone else is willing and able to do the same thing.

When you break a system you can never trust it again.

[annabanana]

23. right on the nose..

boundless projection

[Volaris]

33. And they broke it intentionally and for their own ends.

Getting an honest conviction for said petty terrorist would also put a nasty crimp in their argument that the only effective way to 'keep uhmerakanz safe' is MOAR WARZ!!!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

44. How many terrorists actually "got away with it"

when Clinton was in office? Likewise, how many have "gotten away with it" under Obama? We still have a number of individuals stuck in perpetual legal limbo that may likely grow old and die in Gitmo thanks to the Bush (mis-)Administration and (sad to say) bipartisan Congressional obstruction.

[barbtries]

16. who can doubt that?

just like most republicans - got no use for democracy let alone the constitution

[Rocknrule]

17. If the bomber were white

he'd be saying "poor guy, he's just mentally ill"

[Still In Wisconsin]

18. HEIL TRUMPLER! n/t

[Stonepounder]

19. Or here's an interesting conspiracy theory for you.

The GOP figures that Trump is their best hope at defeating Hillary. So, the promote him for all they are worth. As soon as he's in office and starts acting goofy the impeach him (hell, if they could impeach Bill Clinton for 'lying to congress' they can sure as hell impeach Trump for the same thing.) Then I am sure they could find something to impeach Pence for at the same time.

Now they have somebody like Paul Ryan as President for the next four years and who starts out with at least one SCOTUS pick and probably one or two more.

[mainstreetonce]

21. They don't need to impeach Pence

He would be their puppet.

[sarae]

28. That's what I was thinking...

Pence is a dream come true for them – he's an obedient, smarmy politician who will do anything his Republican Overlords tell him to do.

[First Speaker]

22. They're kidding themselves if they believe this...

...Trump would have no intention of being "Impeached". He'd send troops to shut down Congress--and I have no doubt he'd find some who would. A President can always find some troops who'll do his bidding, no matter what the circumstances. The damned fools in the GOP have no more ability to control--or get rid of--Trump, than the German conservatives had of controlling Hitler.

[vkkv]

25. This is how tyrants get power.. nt

[mgardener]

26. Bullies are like this

What they want for you is not what they think They deserve.
Why the deplorables think Trump cares about them is beyond me. We have ample proof of his disdain for the working class; his refusing to pay for services rended.
Think you will never be arrested and jailed? Maybe not now, but in Trump's America? If I were in journalism, a naturalized citizen( from any country) I would be afraid.
What Trump is against now is just a taste of what will happen if he becomes POTUS. Anybody that crosses him will be punished. Republicans think they can control him? Laughable. Why would they impeach him? They know what he is like and they will do NOTHING to him because well, they want to stay in power too.

[Avalux]

29. Trumps HATES the Constitution and our rights.

He wants a dictatorship where he can do whatever he wants to whomever he wants.

People need to WAKE THE FUCK UP.

[MatthewStLouis]

30. He's playing to his base again.

His basket people like swift authoritarian action, immediate justice, instant gratification. They like bully figures who don't play by the rules. It's scary these man-children are allowed to vote.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

31. Trump doesn't understand why our rights are important.

[lunatica]

32. Would he rather the guy go out to get his own meals?

this is apropos of Trump's idiotic remark that the guy will get room service in the hospital now.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

37. Now you see why the police love this guy.

[Missn-Hitch]

42. No kidding. I know one that despises him. Cheers.

[Missn-Hitch]

41. Nah, I will be fine. 44 year old white male here.

If cornered by these folks, I can speak "Orange Menace" if it absolutely came down to it. Suspend any measure of empathy, babble on and on about law and order, Jesus, immigrants, abortion and "the gays". I won't say the n-word though.

It's happening right before our eyes. F*** 'em!!

[raven mad]

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

[Divine Discontent]

49. He and his ilk don't respect laws
