[highplainsdem]

JFC.

Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?

2. Thanks for writing another anti-Trump campaign ad, shit-for-brains

Keep 'em coming.

[exboyfil]

3. Sounds actionable to me

Gugino is a private citizen (just like poor put upon Nicholas Sandmann). Trump is President of the US with full access to all the intelligence gathered by all the agencies (God help us). His statement carries the weight of knowledge.

4. David Frum: Trump will be saying next that Obama knocked the man down

Link to tweet

When this line of argument fails, Trump will retreat to his classic all-purpose excuse: "It was Obama who shoved the 75 year old man to the sidewalk and cracked his head."

Dumb ass

7. ATTN Donny Trump. There is no such thing as ANTIFA.

There is no such thing as ANTIFA. It is made up and I might be wrong but many of
the young white male who claim to be ANTIFA are there to stir up trouble which the
right wing/Trump/Barr/Fox News use to push their agenda.

he fell harder than he was pushed"?? Did he fake the blood gushing out the back of his head? Trump is a monster.

Folks, there are many ways to become a target of the rightwing propaganda machine. One way is to stumble into view of a running camera as your skull is cracked open.

14. Perhaps the two officers are fascists KKK members, and

perhaps fascist Trump is a secret holder of the Russian Order of Friendship (for being Putin's cockholster). It explains the data very well.

24. Trump could be using our cell phones to control our thoughts...

He is very deft, though. He'll fall way behind Biden and then amp it up just enough to squeak out a victory. Could be a set up?

25. I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW - this fucker is hoping that Chauvin gets

a speedy trial and acquittal, so that he can appear alongside him at campaign events going into the fall. Eddie Gallagher will have to settle for being a warm-up act.

26. So tRump is not AntiFa? Heavens! Must be ProFa.

I guess that means he's a member of ProFa..........

Putin would approve.

27. He fell harder than he was pushed?

Unpack that one if you can.

33. OANN called him an "agitator" based on earlier reports they knew to be wrong

see https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213568436#post4 . Trump was, of course, passing on Fake News.

Maybe we can get Twitter to flag this one, too.

Not unless you are the Pentagon or an Alphabet agency, anyway.

45. Wow...Trump is really accomplished... ;(

I didn't know that Trump knew about physics and kinesiology. Amazing that he can tell how hard the man was pushed and how hard he fell from just watching the video footage.

I mean, I know that he has more military knowledge than the generals, and a keen mind for medicine with his internal uv light and injecting disinfectants. Don't forget that nobody knows more about the economy than he does. He is also the least racist and sexist person you will ever meet. Just an all around Renaissance Man...

Idiot!
