2. The man's right, Marsha.

Actually, he was vastly understating you. You are beyond stupid. I hope you find your way to a cult deprogrammer, for your own good.

[Siwsan]

35. Looks like it has been deleted

I missed out on a fun read.

[nolabear]

44. Yeah but it's been grabbed and disseminated. The beating goes on.

Marsha...

[robbob]

3. I like the part where she says Trump isn't a sexual predator

For his “grab them...” comments and then starts berating him for “getting in my face...”. I wanted him to say, you don’t like me getting in your face? How would you feel if I grabbed you by the pussy? Do you understand how that would be sexual assault?

[sinkingfeeling]

4. He's way out numbered at the Villages. Way to go, Ed!

[TNNurse]

10. Do they not care about Social Security and Medicare????

Are they willing to starve, suffer or lose their homes to support this horrible man???

[Mariana]

32. They don't believe THEIR SS and Medicare will be affected.

They figure any reductions will be for future retirees, and they're perfectly happy to see younger Americans get fucked over. And you know what? They're probably right that their benefits won't be targeted. The Republicans know perfectly well that the majority of old people vote for them, and they aren't about to upset that apple cart.

[TNNurse]

37. So they do not care about their children and grandchildren.

Seems prevalent in the GOP. I am old enough to remember when people wanted better for their children.

I do not have children and apparently care more about theirs than they do.

[DBoon]

47. Republicans are inherently cruel and selfish

You are correct - they do not care about their children, unless it is to brag about them as status symbols

[Scarsdale]

5. The president of the US should

not be a person that these things CAN be said about! All these statements are true. The person illegally pretending to be president is a joke, a hoax, a failure.

[llmart]

6. In the Villages no less.

Whoever did this - you have my utmost admiration.

7. She's going to send it to Trump.

She's going to send it to Trump.

Expect an invite to the WH for hamberders.

8. Good for you, Ed. K&R

9. Need this TR quote on plaques, T-shirts, bumper stickers, posters, etc. ...

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

― Theodore Roosevelt

[Brother Mythos]

11. Thank you for posting this quotation.

I'm going to copy it, save it, and use it myself when appropriate.

[yuiyoshida]

19. yeah that is awesome!

[malaise]

23. This needs its own OP

Perfect

[NoMoreRepugs]

40. I'm going to try n mail it to each of the treasonous ratfuck

Rethug Senators.

[ornotna]

46. Got the Tshirt

When Dubya was president. Still have it. It's a great quote.

[patphil]

12. Actually, we shouldn't have a president who can be truthfully said to be all those things.

[SunSeeker]

29. THIS

[ecstatic]

13. And now the tweet is gone.

She took her tweet down after getting a tiny dose of reality from thousands of people. This idiot actually thought that she came out of that encounter victorious. SMFH

[Leith]

16. What was it she tweeted?

Was she whining that nobody should speak ill of her fuhrer? What was the tweet she was responding to.

It's frustrating to have missed the whole thing.

[littlemissmartypants]

24. This is a link to the tweet:

@dbongino yeah this happened today at The Villages, FL https://t.co/pcRksozFe3

31. Her tweets are gone. Hope someone got a screen capture. nt

[littlemissmartypants]

33. Here's a link to a previous DU post that describes the confrontation

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212938018

Ed McGinty is a “well known” political activist, according to the Village News, who “was parked in his golf cart in the grassy area by Odell Circle with signs on his golf cart that read “Trump Is A Sexual Predator,” “Trump Filthy Pig,” “Trump Compulsive Liar,” “Trump Bigot and Racist” and “Hitler And Trump Exactly Same DNA.”

The threats only served to inspire McGuinty, who lives in a city of 122,000 people that is quite literally owned by Republicans and is one of the most heavily GOP registered places in Florida. It is also one of the party’s fastest-growing areas as retirees flock to a community better known for grandparents known for excessive binge drinking and who regularly get DUIs in golf carts.

“He called me a pig!” Hill screamed as two Sumter County sheriff’s deputies arrived to speak with McGinty. “He called me a pig for no reason because I asked him why he thought the president was a sexual predator.”
“That’s blasphemy,” she said of McGinty’s signs about Trump. “You don’t say that about the president of the United States.”
Sadly for Hill, the Sumner County deputies refused to violate McGinty’s free speech rights under the First Amendment and informed him that they’d received numerous complaints about his protests and he’s free to keep doing so just as long as he doesn’t block the golf cart paths.

25. description of deleted tweet: Older white man/ golf cart festooned with large signs "trump is a sex

"trump is sexual predator", huge letters. golf cart parked in grass median of major street. YOu can hear some honking in agreement. women walks up filming.. she cannot believe what she's seeing...argues with the man about trump who she thinks is wonderful. says "you shouldn't be able to" say those types of things about our great president. the man holds his ground about the sexual predator claim... reminds her trump said "grab her by the p...." and mentions all the claims of groping by women.

she filmed the interaction and tweeted it.

14. I guess it was deleted? I'm getting "page does not exist..."

[packman]

15. Did anyone save the tweet?

Or just give the rest of us its highlights (or lowlights).

17. Maybe if the so called president wasn't all of the things that they are saying about him, they...

wouldn't say them, you think?

He's pathetic and a loser. And I just told a good friend of mine who is a rump nut (almost but not quite), he gave me BS about rump's fantastic economy/stock market (nope, most of credit still goes to Obama I said) and I also told him that for a president, to act like a 5 year old and hurl insults at others, this is beyond pathetic.

[KPN]

18. Hmmm ... can't access the link(s). Wish I could ... feel

like I’m missing something special. On the other hand, maybe Twitters knocking out the idiots??

[MyOwnPeace]

21. "maybe Twitters knocking out the idiots??"

Well, they're missing one really big one that been going strong for over 3 years since he got his new job.....

[Demovictory9]

27. see reply #25 above. Obviously she posted it thinking she would get agreement.. instead twitter hit

her hard and she deleted the tweet.

[aggiesal]

20. A RW friend responded to a similar rant ...

I responded to the rant with this, and it pretty much shut them up!
***********************************

Essay written by former Republican President Teddy Roosevelt
first published in the Kansas City Star on May 7, 1918

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not
only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the
American public

They can never argue, because it came from a Republican President.

[GeorgeGist]

22. Well, yeah ...

if they know the difference between Teddy and FDR.

[Different Drummer]

34. Thanks for posting this!

I have saved it and plan to use it on "our friends on the right", as John Fugelsang previously referred to them, in the future.

[aggiesal]

36. Use it early, use it often ...

It really highlights their nature, and they don't like it.
Waaa!

I like John Fugelsang.
Saw him at the Sexy Liberal Show in LA.

[KPN]

28. OK. I can't read the twitter thread as it no longer exists, but I get the

gist.

I do recall a time when the worst you ever heard about a President was something like I don’t like him (always “him” - no other option unfortunately), or I don’t trust him, or I don’t like his position on this that or the other thing. Of course that was back when Ike was Pres and I was 9.

Seems to me that it really started with JFK and the bellyaching from the right about him being Catholic, my God the Pope has taken over ‘Murcia’, and nepotism with Bobby as AG. “Tricky Dick” may have sounded disrespectful, but it was apt — the guy was after all a crook. The Rs have always taken it to the next level, especially in response to legitimate rancor over Nixon’s criminal transgressions and subsequent impeachment. And so it ratcheted up. We’re here today because of their blatant racist and abhorrently disrespectful treatment of the first black President, perhaps the most honorable President in my lifetime (though Carter is pretty high up there).

Here we have what undoubtedly is the most corrupt, self-serving, unprincipled, dangerous and ultimately life-threatening President in our history by a looooooong shot ... and these asshole people complain about “respect”!

How fucking offensive! Fuck them. If they don’t like it, leave. Go where you belong — under a leaf, under a pile of detritus or under Erdoghan, Putin, Bolsonaro or any of the other tRump buddies in your frigging hate filled, moronic, lemming-like universe. Fuck off!

End of rant.

30. During the 'Arab Spring', I remember an Egyptian worker, speaking of a

convicted Egyptian President - [as I remember], 'guilty or not, some people should not have to go to prison'. Seemed quite sincere.

[lpbk2713]

38. We haven't had a president for three years.

So don't sweat it.

[democrattotheend]

39. I wonder how much respect this person showed President Obama

I'm guessing not much.

[NCLefty]

43. Mischief-Maker Marlyn?

She wants to help Trump "any way she can." Who wants to tell her?
