    "This is terrible" that he might lose the election

    Next time, don't criticize someone for failing to add context by failing to add context yourself.

    Might I suggest that you should hope that your President would act with more class and dignity than you and your brother.

    he has acted the same way with putin. in addition, i doubt saudi is going to admit the crime or at best find a scapegoat. then we will see what trump does. the usa is not involved in the investigation, so i doubt trump will do a,thing.

    You think it was hilarious because the person who was assaulted (and there is zero evidence to support the notion that he deserved it) was a reporter.

    That is pathetic and dangerous.

    My recommendation has been that Trump threaten to suspend the military arms deal until a full investigation by a neutral party has occurred and the individuals responsible are held accountable by an international criminal court.

    Imaginary statistics do not qualify as "facts."

    And posting about imaginary statistics from events that are wholly irrelevant to the topic of this thread does count as derailing the thread.

    But you keep on running from the topic of this thread if you feel it necessary.

    Why must trumpettes hold their politicians to the same standard as an internet troll.

    Value should not be derived from how much hatred they or their actions garner.

    As soon as the encouraged violence from the New Democratic Party he is responding to is rejected by them.

    It's remarkable the hard core left dismisses their followers faux beheadings, actual violent mob actions, etc., but heads explode when the President comments about a body slam.

    They'd have to be pretty big. Trump stands 6'3" and goes about 240 pounds. He was also an excellent athlete and is still considered a great golfer.

    I am guessing you wouldn't risk a confrontation. :)

    Denial, the constant state of being for radicals of the New Democratic Party.

    Own it.

    The yapping over this Dog Whistle is pathetic.

    It’s just more proof Trump is the biggest lying POS D-bag ever to sit in the Oval Office. OTOH, he did beat Hillary in the election so, for that, America is grateful. Now it’s over and he can go home.

    My buddy and his brother. Get a sense of humor, DT never advocated violence and it was pretty funny.

    Unfortunately they would then shift their purchases to China and/or Russia and we would then have less influence with this despotic country. Unfortunately tough to find any Islamic country that doesn't use these kind of tactics. Let's wait for the investigation to complete (just a few more days) and take appropriate action then. Turkey (not a trustworthy nation) has yet to provide us with the hard evidence. Why did our newspaper hire someone who apparently joined the Muslim Brotherhood - a radical Islamist organization?

    It was "pretty funny" because the person that was criminally assaulted was a reporter.

    Only in your never-Trump mind. It was funny regardless, get a sense-of-humor. He didn't praise him for doing it or advocate violence in any way.

    Shame on him and he should issue an apology to the reporter and a retraction. No politician or political leader should be cheering uncivil behavior towards their opponents or even worse advocating it.

    Don't you agree?

    The "muslim brotherhood" talking point is almost certainly just a right wing invention designed to protect trump.

    And there is a reason that they came to us for the purchase and not China or Russia. We have leverage by threatening to suspend the deal.

    Declaring someone to be "your guy" because they can "body slam" someone (when the only instance of them body slamming is when they committed a criminal assault against a reporter) is absolutely praising or advocating that behavior.

    sure it is :( He was making light of a politician's screw-up. And he did it in a pretty funny way. Lighten up, not everything DT does must be somehow evil.

    https://www.breitbart.com/the-media...ence-and-harassment-against-trump-supporters/

    Over 30 GOP lawmakers and candidates attacked or threatened by liberals and this is over a year old spanning just a few months.

    https://freebeacon.com/issues/30-gop-congressmen-attacked-threatened-since-may/

    12 more recent attacks not including the 5 this week alone: https://www.lifezette.com/2018/10/here-are-12-of-the-lefts-worst-recent-attacks-on-conservatives/

    And included in those attacks are over 10 firebombings, vandalism and arson on GOP offices. not including the nearly 10 attacks this week alone https://davidharrisjr.com/politics/leftist-attacks-on-conservatives-reaches-538-complete-list/



    Now what Legal? You should have remembered I back myself up when I debate. Unlike others :)
