To any Limbaugh or Beck listeners that might be trolling here

It's called metaphor. Look that up if you need to. When Eric Holder says "kick 'em" he's speaking metaphorically, not literally. It's not a call to violence from the left.

Oh, and another thing, protest is legal in America, even when it's not something you agree with.

Last thing I heard about Glenn Beck was that he was a Never-Trumper and then the Republicans stopped tuning in. Then he came around, groveling, and is now trying to be yet another trumpian bootlicker to get his audience back, but I don't know if it's working.

Last I heard, he still hasn't denied it. All he has to do is deny it. Why won't he do that?

Trump is so fucking crazy that no pays attention to crazy ass Pillboy anymore. Last contract he took a pay cut and it was renewed for half the time it's normally renewed for. That POS is just about done.............

And YES he does have a boss at the Network that carries his POS show. He doesn't get a flat salary,it's performance based on his show and the entire network,hence the paycut he had to take when he signed his last contract. He was signed up for half the time on this new contract as the old. I think it runs out in 2020.

republican, ask them why they are such scary-cats. They are afraid of their own shadows. Immigrants who pick our produce-ew scary bunch, maids, dishwashers, restaurant workers etc. scare the day lights out of Republicans. And boy are they afraid of educated students, women, old poor people. They are all just COWARDS! Their idol the Dotard is a big man picking on people by tweet or from the safety of a rally. Can you imagine Trump getting in a fist fight? He is one of those guys who cower in fear and wets his pants when confronted. Why hasn’t our dear leader visited the troop? I’ll tell you why, it’s because his is a yellow -bellied COWARD as are the sycophants who follow him.

you expect them to understand what a metaphor is?

I know, you are trying but don't make yourself crazy over these fools, it's not worth your time.

liars. They pretend to not have understood what he meant. Because it gives them another pretext to shit on the "libtards". It's their reason for living. They're just full of shit. But yes. I agree with the rest of your post.

but it's one thing to try and fix stupid, one can't, but trying to convince someone willingly dumb, is a fools errand.

they are so filled with so much spite they don't care about whether or not they are pretending or even if they are wrong or right. They would rather be overtly stubborn, even in the face of opposing overwhelming evidence.

and the true irony in all of this is: deep down they know they have one ignorant crooked candidate after another and that we don't. and that's what drives their spite, anger and willful stupidity.

it's truly sad.

As anyone who has studied psychology knows, only about half the population has the ability to think abstractly:

This might explain a lot about Trump supporters.
