    That's stupid. Do you know what the first amendment does? Do you know what freedom of speech actually means?

    The only person that speaks out against the first amendment is Trump.

    Trump was free to speak, his supporters were free to assemble. The people who protest Trump are also free to speak and assemble.

    The police and Secret Service were defending his right to free expression and said there were no security threats. He chose not to talk to an audience of people and thereby chose not to exercise his First Amendment rights. Surely you know how the First Amendment works, right?

    The First Amendment is not some magical wand that protects you from people also defending their First Amendment rights to speech by waving signs. I have not seen any specific and credible threats of violence from the protesters. If you can't handle Berniebros waving signs, something tells me you're not as "STRONG" as China.

    There's nothing more American than what the protesters did last night.

    Also, if you want to see thuggish violence....I mean it's been coming from the Trump supporters for quite a while now if you haven't been paying attention. People are finally standing up to them and I commend them for it. Just like any cowardly bully, when people stand up to Trump he runs away. I certainly hope that people continue to stand up to Trump and honestly I hope he's run out of the country even after he drops out of the election.

    Donald Trump is apparently going to Kansas City for a rally later today and the Democrat's political correctness thugs there have already announced their intention to shut it down.

    actually not true, i said "it was abhorrent" and "not surprising" given the protesters got exactly what he wanted.

    but what does that have to do with my comment late last night about bobby and northside working the interwebs hard?!?!

    Where are the threats of violence?

    Trump has the right to say whatever he wants.

    People also have the right to tell him to s**t the f**k up. Well, they still have the right--assuming he doesn't go Tiananmen on their ass anytime soon.

    ^this.

    A lot of "constitutional authorities" name-checking rights out there who can't even grasp the basics of the First Amendment.

    There's nothing that unites people from different ends of the political spectrum quite like a common enemy. Trump truly is a uniter, he's a big enough scumbag to unite nearly the entire country against him.

    No, you've been suckered into believing that that is the biggest threat facing this country by lying sleazy politicians who have a vested interest in doing so in order to get elected. And make no mistakes, the Democrats lie a lot too, I'm just continually amazed at how people fall for it over and over.

    None of these politicians that I can think of has been making any appreciable effort to challenge the Democrat's political correctness agenda. And what the opposition to this agenda has to do with these people getting elected is not clear to me. What are you talking about?

    Hmm that's interesting since you literally said 3 hours ago in this thread:

    I would say that the fact that Donald Trump is using this rhetoric and is currently leading in the polls, until Ted Cruz makes his move of course, is why it's relevant to getting elected.

    I love how there are actual idiots that believe being 'pc' is what is going to be 'the downfall of this country'.

    Trump made the correct executive decision to shut down the rally. I'm sure it was hard to disappoint his supporters but he will be making many hard decisions as president.

    In my neighborhood, someone that talks a lot of **** about punching people in the face and carrying people out on stretchers then hides behind protection is a weak ass b****.

    Usually people protest and burn things from the (in)actions of an elected president.

    WTF

    I'm ready for the Trump presidency to end.

    It's on Obama's watch, so I'm deflecting responsibility and say it's all his fault.
