What is really through the looking glass is you respond to a Trump shirt by giving one of his most memorable quotes and the Trump supporter thinks they are about to be attacked by a mob. Sounds ironic.
This pathetic Councilwoman was not "quoting Trump" when she changes pronouns and directs her wrath at 13 yo girls standing in line at a ice cream stand, but that's just too hard for some folks to understand.

Trump also called pro football players who protest our national anthem sob's. So in your twisted thinking some crazy is "quoting Trump" when he goes to the girls soccer game down the road screaming at them all "you sob's."

Watching today's media makes everybody crazy. It's planned that way. It's a culture "war" for a reason. When DiNero stands at the awards ceremony in NYC and shouts "F Trump," is he just acting or has he lost his mind?

Yes, in this twisted, mixed up world if Trump says this to someone it is justified, and if the recipients of his vulgarity respond in kind the same people who justified Trump condemn them. I imagine that no woman would want this expression directed at them from this man. I am condemning both of them, and I think this story shows how offensive and threatening this comment is, even if it is from a middle aged woman with small children in tow who is out numbered 4:1. But it illustrates the word in the Bible that you don't overcome evil with evil.

There is no justification whatsoever to repeat "jock bragging" spoken privately long before Trump ever ran for office. Neither is there any evidence that Trump's flippant brags ever actually were carried out.

Sorry you hate the guy, but don't lose your head over it.

The media protected Obama from all his past sins, while megaphoning all of Trumps. Unfortunately lefties refuse to acknowledge this. Slowly the independents are seeing thru the massive smear machine.

Is there a verse that you base this on? Just so I have it straight, it is OK for him to brag to others that he assaults women sexually because he has never been convicted of this crime.

But it is unconscionable that a woman would repeat this to these four girls who are promoting his candidacy. The fact that there is no evidence that this woman ever assaulted anyone sexually is no longer relevant.

Sounds very two faced to me.

I prefer the Bible:

Ps 18:26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

I do not agree with the pundits saying that Trump gave away too much and was played by Kim.

If in fact he has moved the negotiations into his world of real estate development, then Trump will win. This is dependent on the idea that Kim wants to be a playboy dictator with billions pouring in, living a life hobnobbing with movie stars and NBA stars, and be cheered wherever he goes as a rock star. It seems more likely to me that Trump's temptation will have more traction with him than the sales pitch of the left (transition to Democracy, give up your Nukes and trust us, we won't have you killed).

Ole Bernie is a class "act." He gets screwed by Hilary and the DNC, so he attacks Trump.

Just last week Perez at the DNC stuck it to Bernie again.

Lock them up for what they did to Burlington College.

While I agree with ZNP's criticism of Trump from the last line of his post in #3513, there is a transparent discrepancy in regard to the media's projection of Obama versus the media's projection of Trump. Hypocrisy through and through.

At least Trump didn't pick the handmaiden.

Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’ Is Topping UK Charts Upon Trump’s Visit
A British campaign to taunt the U.S. president seems to be working.

Why did Trump pick Kavanaugh? No big mystery there. In a 2009 law review article Kavanaugh suggested providing sitting presidents with a temporary deferral from civil suits and criminal prosecutions and investigations. That had to be music to Trump's ears.
