    You have a bad habit of not following conversations and not knowing what you are talking about.

    Trump absolutely did praise the Chinese government's decision to slaughter their own people at Tienanmen square and called it strong leadership....something he's promised to provide.

    Try knowing what you are talking about for a change before embarrassing yourself kiddo.

    If that is your argument I don't think you understand the Constitution and the First Amendment very well.

    I don't exactly disagree with what they are saying, I think they are idiots because they are. They can protest in front with the other protesters but they want to be on TV. Anything to be famous these days.

    Not sure how B-Bob sees anything from behind a monitor as I sit in front of mine but if calling people names means you are not patriotic then he better reevaluate the meaning of that word. Also Bernie looked like a weak old fool when those protesters called his entire crowd racist. People showed up to see him and they took over the event and insulted everyone.

    The right to peaceably assemble exists to protect organizations from suppression by the government. These protesters are not agents of the government, so I don't see the applicability of peaceful assembly here. I do think Trump's organization has a right to govern who assembles with them, and should have a right to remove people. But, that's never been an issue. The issue is how they've treated people while they are being removed. I don't have any problem either with people who use the opportunity to protest. They are not doing anything illegal, they're exercising their free speech rights. They know or should know they'll be removed and so long as they can be removed peacefully there should be no problem.

    There are a lot of parallels here between protesters at the Trump rallies and counter-protesters of Black Lives Matter protests. They had some issues of violence where it wasn't always clear who the real instigator was. In both cases, leadership built an atmosphere in which escalations to violence were more likely. I think both groups attract other non-endorsed groups who do believe in political change through violence. They differ in that BLM had a more chaotic situation, but preached and trained for nonviolence. Trump has a more controlled situation with a smaller geographic footprint, gatekeepers on who can participate, and of course help from the Secret Service. But he condemns nonviolence.

    Just be glad that Trump doesn't have an army and tanks or he might show some of the "strong leadership" he's promised and start slaughtering protesters in the streets.

    I guess we have that to look forward to if Trump wins.

    If they are not Trump supporters what are they doing there?!?!

    Why is everyone showing so much compassion for impostors, infiltrators, troublemakers, etc...?!?!?!

    Everyone knows the sole purpose of their attendance but conveniently ignoring to bash Trump. Debate the issues, not artificial news making infiltration.

    Doesn't make it right but honestly if your sole purpose is to infiltrate (and rile up) feverish pro-crowd with an anti-position, then you will be be punched, kicked, paraded out. But of course, that's exactly the mission isn't it...

    Quit falling for the fake news makers, RJ and rest of you all are too smart.

    Every time you see this image, remember that Donald Trump was on the side of the guys who sent in the tanks.

    You are dead wrong here. Trump called the soldiers and police who shot hundreds of people strong. He certainly would have called the tank low energy and weak for not blowing that guy up.

    Yeah, that's where they "almost blew it" according to Trump, he was really glad that they managed to push through and finish strong. In his mind, his soldiers wouldn't hesitate to run that guy down because Trump is such a strong leader.

    Deng Xiaoping, Putin, Trump. All strong leaders according to Trump.

    I know you are a Trump supporter, but instead of emulating your hero, why not respond to those who so viciously point out Trump's awful comments with something of substance?

    So you agree with Trump that the slaughter of peaceful protesters in 1989 by the Chinese government was a sign of strong leadership? Are you hoping for that kind of strong leadership from Trump? Do you agree with Trump that Putin is another strong leader like Trump and Deng Xiaoping?

    What other mass slaughters would constitute "strong leadership?

    So respond to it now. Trump just last night doubled down on comments that the mass slaughter of Chinese students was strong leadership and he's multiple times promised to be a strong leader and bashed Obama and others for being "weak"....

    Putin has no problems killing his own citizens and Trump calls him a strong leader too. Isn't it pretty obvious that Trump sees leaders who are tyrannical as a good thing?

    I know you probably aren't a real person, but assuming for a second that you are more than a troll, how do you support a person who is a fan of the mass slaughter of civilians? I mean, he's even suggested that the murder and torture of innocent civilians is something he'd support if he won the presidency....

    I get that you are sort of Trumps Baghdad Bob, but you do realize that's actually a massive anti-Trump protest right?

    LOL yeah, he doesn't respect him, but he uses the same adjective "strong" about his own leadership that he uses to describe Putin....and seemingly any other leader that is cool with murdering their own people in large numbers.

    Anyway, thanks for posting your spin about Putin, how about responding to Trump's comments about Tienanmen square?
