    As embarrassing as it is that the president of the United States thought it important that he would tweet that, it is even more important that he would cut out this part of the same "wrestling match":



    And Trump supporters continue to support this guy. Truly embarrassing. No wonder people worldwide now believe (1) Germany's Merkel is the global leader they trust most and (2) the leaders of China and Russia have higher global approval than the U.S. president right now.

    And between visits to the golf course (34th so far) he talks about the media during an event intended to honor our veterans. Shameless.

    And during a time when both Democrat and republican political figures talk about the need to tone down the rhetoric to reduce the possibility of violence... the POTUS is inciting violence against the media in Sunday morning outreach to American citizens.

    Just think about that...

    a wrestling gif is inciting violence? ok

    some actual violence might have to occur before this claim has any legitimacy

    the only example I can think of is Gianforte, and that incident doesn't seem to be Trump/NRA inspired

    41.7 % of Hate crimes recorded in the US since the election have been found to be connected to the victory of Trump in a study done by Adam Peck of ThinkProgress.

    There's just no way for anyone to taken seriously in a conversation about Trump if they try to argue that Trump has not directly or indirectly inspire violence or hate crimes.

    The real question is...Does he, the GOP, or the supposed conservative Christian's who support Trump have a responsibly to try and calm down the toxic nature of our current divide?

    If the people in charge refuse to take accountability (and blame everyone else like cowards) for their direct or indirect affect on the climate of our country, then who will be the one to fix it or try to fix it?

    Seems to me that your team just doesn't want to fix it and actually is benefiting from it.

    Who cares if some asshat in Belgium doesn't approve Trump. You liberals are insane. President Trump is living in your mind rent free.

    Trump supporters strike me as exactly the kind of people who watch pro wrasslin' and reality TV.

    Lulz wow.

    The sad thing is you're probably right. For some voters memes and jokes are more important than actual policy, I guess you're one of them.

    I read an article on the super horrible Russian money "flooding" into the NRA. Turns out about $2K was given by russian nationals living in the USA over three years. Doesn't take much to give enemies of liberty a massive ban boner I guess.

    Arrested



    Maria Butina, a student at American University and a founder of the pro-gun rights Russian advocacy organization Right to Bear Arms, is accused of working at the direction of a high-level official who worked for the Russian Central Bank and was recently sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Justice Department said in a statement.
