When Trump hinted gun rights supporters should shoot Hillary, he went from offensive to reckless. He must end his campaign. If he doesn't, the GOP needs to abandon him.

I don't know what else they could mean by "Second Amendment solutions" other than shooting someone with a gun. It's a blatant dog whistle to the gun nuts.

Like when Sharron Angle, in a race for US Senate from Nevada, talked about "Second Amendment remedies". How can this be considered anything other than stochastic vocal terrorism?

It's like saying, hey that's a nice family you have there. It would be a shame if something were to happen to one of them. It's an implied threat. This needs to be taken very, very seriously.

is like watching gladiators. Watching people watch lions tearing humans apart from limb to limb and laughing.

From Wikipedia:

A gladiator (Latin: gladiator, "swordsman", from gladius, "sword&quot was an armed combatant who entertained audiences in the Roman Republic and Roman Empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals.

The United States of America has lasted for 240.

I like to watch the UFC, which is undeniably a blood-sport.

I'll take bets. Time to buy a fiddle.

no doubt #ComradeTrump is preparing his epic Republican Swan Dive to Safety.

He'll be wanting to spend more time with THE FAMILY.
