A Republican Townhall Just Exploded As Voters Demand Trump’s Arrest

By Colin Taylor
Published on April 17, 2017


It would appear the tides are turning against President Trump and his ship of fools. During a town hall meeting held by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rep. French Hill (R-AR) in deep-red Little Rock, Arkansas, the crowd erupted in cries of “LOCK HIM UP!” when Cotton dared to compliment Trump’s foreign policy.

The displays of fruitless aggression and primitive manhood-waving that summarize President Trump’s foreign policy have accomplished nothing but to kill more than a thousand innocent civilians in a month of bombings and to bring us to the brink of nuclear war with North Korea.

The irony of seeing voters yell for Trump’s arrest barely two months into his presidency is simply delicious. Trump campaign advisor Gen. Michael Flynn began the “LOCK HER UP” chant at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last summer. Now it’s Michael Flynn who is desperately trying to avoid jail while voters scream for Trump’s imprisonment.

Life comes at you fast, as they say.

As the investigation into President Trump and his team’s potentially treasonous collusion with agents of the Russian Federation during the 2016 election gains steam, it’s looking likelier than ever that these Arkansas voters might soon get their wish.

1. Sow the wind

Reap the whirlwind.

Trump continued the theme when he said Clinton would be,

"Without Comey, Trump said, Clinton “would be right now going to trial.”"

[Me.]

2. Music To My Ears

[malaise]

3. How I want that Lock her UP to haunt them

to the grave - all of them

[calimary]

20. Me too! Lock HIM up.

Hell, lock them ALL up.

[Alice11111]

30. Yes. Let them hear it everynight in their dreams, but HIM

instead of her. Lock him up. Let them worry for their safety for a change. However, they don't have to worry about crazy mean RWs. They have to worry sbout being caught in their own deeds...cover ups, perjury, treason, fraud....

[volstork]

4. Bread and circuses.

People need to wake the eff up and start looking at their own self interests before walking into the voting booth. I'm glad these people are pissed off, but it's their fault we are in this mess. If they had paid attention to what is going on in the world rather than to what is going on on that little screen they hold in their hands playing Candy Crush, they might have been smart enough not to vote the way they did.

[Cosmocat]

7. I generally agree, but I would imagine

that the people who showed up to voice their outrage like this were probably like us - people who wanted no part of the asshole in the first place.

THAT said, I agree with you point - 1/3 of the country braindead R pods voting for him out of blind party loyalty and 1/3 of the country not bothering to show up to vote.

[YOHABLO]

8. That !/3rd brainddead R pods: brainwashed by FOX propaganda

[LOL Lib]

40. Exactly. These are people like us, they are not angry Trump voters.

When his voters turn on him we can celebrate. I will take vacations days so I can watch the drama unfold when it happens!

[onethatcares]

13. sometimes, in fact most times

Stupid should hurt.

They are just getting their 2 x 4 upside their collective heads.

[sheshe2]

5. Lock Him Up!

+1000!

[LakeArenal]

16. Also.. T-shirts Trump for Prison

[LonePirate]

6. BRAVO!!! Lock him up indeed.

If town hall attendees in Little Rock can erupt in such sentiment, I can only imagine how a deep blue city like San Francisco would react.

[red dog 1]

41. There are no Congressional Republicans representing San Francisco, however,

I hope this type of townhall "eruption" occurs down in the southern part of CA, in places like Orange County and San Diego, where there ARE Congressional Republicans representing the voters there.


Of course, cowards like Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) will just not schedule any such town hall meetings.

"Nunes Won't hold town hall? Opponents Schedule one anyway"

9. Cue conservative aggrieved shock and hurt in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

"Oh, how can people say such horrid things! It's just terrible that those people are being so mean to Sen. Cotton and Rep. Hill! THEY are the ones who should be locked up for treason against their duly-elected officials. Such a thing has never before been seen in these United States of America. So disrespectful. So rude."

You know it's coming.

[NastyRiffraff]

14. They were paid!

The Gospel according to Trump.

[ck4829]

17. Fake News! Very Fake News!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

19. Those that forgot the...

60's
Roaring 20's
The Civil War
Even the American Revolution,
Just to name those times off the tip of my head...

Will say that

[Alice11111]

31. Well, I never said it before, but I'm saying it now. "Lock him

up." This includes, DT, Sessions, Price, Pence , Flynn, Manafort, Carter Page...and somehow, can't we get
De Voss, Ryan, and McTurtle in there.

[NewJeffCT]

35. poor widdle snowflakes

so delicate and easy to hurt.

[spanone]

10. K&R...

[smirkymonkey]

11. Karma's a bitch!

[BumRushDaShow]

12. "deep-red Little Rock, Arkansas"

The city of Little Rock, AR isn't "deep red" or red at all. Pulaski County (that includes Little Rock) voted for Hillary and is a blue county.

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/arkansas

But it is good to see folks wake up out of their slumber! Just have to translate that into some votes and put a (D) into that Congressional district that encompasses that county. I know they torpedoed Cotton before.

[MadLinguist]

18. I am encouraged too, but I'll be cheering once those vast stretches of red wastelands

join in the lock-him-up chants. Little Rock didn't need to be converted to this view by witnessing Trump's flops and flips and demonstrations of horrible incompetence and putrid callousness in office. The campaign was enough, just as it was for other bright blue dots in red swaths, like New Orleans, Nashville, Raleigh, take your urban pick ...

[Plucketeer]

15. Indeed! LOCK HIM UP!!!

And lock up all the other clowns that make up his gang!

[The Wizard]

32. Lock him up?

How about extraordinary rendition to Uzbekistan, North Korea or Iran?

[Plucketeer]

38. Hell, I'd opt for medical test subject

but since he's not human, I doubt the data would be of any value.

[yuiyoshida]

21. So why isn't there some kind of

Psychological test for all people who intend to become leaders of this Nation? Is sorely needed as we have all seen. Some people shouldn't even qualify or if, they have a problem, it should be made public, along with their record of experiences.

[rurallib]

25. I have often wondered that also

but I doubt we could ever get any sort of consensus on what it would be and what traits should be measured and what are acceptable scores in those areas.

Mrs. Lib just asked me about this today.

My answer was that the primary system with its evaluation by a large number should weed out the extremes and the unfit. Obviously not true.

So beyond that I have no idea what would be measured and acceptable. Plus would a con like Donny be able to fake his way through such an exam?

Plus, isn't the media supposed to be exposing weaknesses of candidates, really digging down? Obviously it was little but a love fest between Donny and the corporate media last 2 years.

[yuiyoshida]

26. i just posted a poll, read through the thread..

[rurallib]

27. interesting - it sounds like a great idea

but just can't imagine how it could be implemented.

[FairWinds]

36. Well, we could . .

At least give them the Foreign Service Exam or the Graduate Record Exam

Could Trump answer these . . ?

Choose the analogy that best matches the example provided.

1. DRIP : GUSH

A. CRY : LAUGH
B. CURL : ROLL
C. STREAM : TRIBUTARY
D. DENT : DESTROY
E. BEND : ANGLE

2. WALK : LEGS

A. GLEAM : EYES
B. CHEW : MOUTH
C. DRESS : HEM
D. COVER : BOOK
E. GRIND : NOSE

[ProfessorGAC]

34. Isn't That What The EC Was For?

At least originally? Now, it's just a partisan rubber stamp. It was there to prevent a crazy demagogue from taking office, but no.....

[Demtexan]

22. I am sure some are thinking their children

Also the future of SS and Medicare.

People like my sister.

Nothing like the fear of WW3 to wake people up.

[zentrum]

23. WOW. nt

[shenmue]

24. Yeah

[ButSeeYa]

28. And they thought, Hillary was a bitch...

Hey Republicans, meet Karma.

[Honeycombe8]

29. Were those Democrats or Republicans? nt

[Ligyron]

33. At least Cotton is man enough to hold a town hall.

A lot of Rpukes either don't hold them at all, do call-ins or sneak out the back door when they see that people actually showed up in numbers unlike the usual handful of supporters who normally attend their RW love fests.

[red dog 1]

42. Excellent point!

You have to give Cotton credit for having the courage to hold a town hall meeting.

Unlike GOP cowards such as Devin Nunes (R-CA)
(See reply # 41)

[Motley13]

37. Plenty of accommodations at Guantanamo

for the whole crooked bunch

[Plucketeer]

39. Gotta be alot like Mar-a-Lago - in climate anyways

Give Idiot a cage that looks out over a lush, green golf course.

[red dog 1]

43. K&R...Thanks for posting, babylonsister

This story cheers me up!

Thanks to Occupy Democrats too!

[ailsagirl]

44. That was beautiful!!!!

[L. Coyote]

45. Just the beginning, not even 100 days of incompetence yet.
