The CPAC chairman.  

"We won’t credential him as a conservative,” CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp told Full Court Press. "I suppose if he wants to come as a non-conservative and debate an issue with us, maybe in the future we would have him come. This year, I’d actually be afraid for his physical safety, people are so mad at him."

Totally reasonable political party and not at all cult-ish behavior. He was only their Presidential nominee 7 years ago.

Odd.  Has any democrat or the party talked like that about the house dems that voted against impeachment (even the one who switched to being a Republican)?

 
San Francisco Giants snub Aubrey Huff from World Series reunion over social media posts

The San Francisco Giants decided to snub former first baseman Aubrey Huff from its 2010 World Series-winning team reunion planned for this summer because of his social media posts.

Huff, 43, played for the Giants in 2010 when the team won the World Series. He batted .294 with a home run and four RBI in the series against the Texas Rangers. He was also a part of the 2012 championship team.

“Earlier this month, we reached out to Aubrey Huff to let him know that he will not be included in the upcoming 2010 World Series Championship reunion. Aubrey has made multiple comments on social media that are unacceptable and run counter to the values of our organization,” the Giants said in a statement, according to ESPN. “While we appreciate the many contributions that Aubrey made to the 2010 championship season, we stand by our decision.”

Huff offered his own statement on Twitter in response to the Giants’ decision to snub him. He acknowledged he had a meeting with Giants CEO Larry Baer and said that he was not invited to the ceremony because of his support for President Trump and his “locker room humor.”

“When I asked why I wasn’t invited [Baer] told [me] that the board didn’t approve of my Twitter posts, and my political support of Donald Trump. My locker room humor on Twitter is meant to be satirical, and sarcastic. And it was that type of humor that loosened up the clubhouse in 2010 for our charge at a World Series title. They loved it then, and it hasn’t changed. That’s not the issue. It’s politics.

“I find this whole thing very hypocritical coming from a man who has had his share of real controversy for pushing his wife for which he had to take a break from the Giants and issue a formal apology. All I did was tweet.”

Huff added that he has the support of thousands of Giants fans and that the organization was attacking his right to freedom of speech.

“I’m proud of what I accomplished in my 3 years with the Giants. I made lifelong memories with teammates that can never be taken away from me. And while I’m disappointed the Giants are so opposed to President Trump, and our constitutional rights that they’d uninvite me to my teams [sic] reunion, it shows me that now more than ever we have to stand up for our first 1st amendment rights [sic]. Otherwise, the America we know and love is already dead.”

I'm sorry you're going to miss out on this Aubrey.  CEO put himself back in the spot light over something meaningless.  Who even follows Aubrey Huff's twitter?

Ugh, this is sad. Non-metaphorical head on a spike here.

 
Not proposing policy – just seeing where people are on this:

In 2021, after Trump is gone, we will be able to tell who 90% of his supporters are via Social Media records.

Should we fire all of them from any Federal Jobs, to include the military, in order to protect the Nation?

So this guy doesn't think I should be able to continue to provide for my family because I support Trump.  

Democrats have lost their minds.

A couple weeks ago a Montana state Legislator said socialists should be jailed or shot, so it seems like it's going around.

Could very well be. I know nothing about him, my first instinct would be that proposing such lunacy is too far out there and that it would have to be a shot at trump and people defending trump for firing people that oppose him. 

But there are lots of "out there" congressional candidates so you might be right. I dont pkan on doing a further dig, but would be happy to read(in this thread) if other tweets of his follow along with your thoughts.

Evidently he put it up as a “poll” on Twitter and pulled it a few hours later. I’m guessing there was some blowback

You do know there's an actual elected politician with some power like......doing that? Right now? He's not a Democrat.

That's some of the worst bofsidesing I've heard in a while.

Wowza.  It was "vote like us or you're a racist/homophobe/sexist/etc."

Now it's "Vote like us, or we'll try to get you fired."

But please tell me how Dems support free elections by the people.

Hopefully nobody who wants to learn about constitutional law from him. 

 
 
I don't wear my Trump gear often, but wore my shirt this morning to the range and the butcher shop. It was all support and no disgusted looks. I was starting to hope these attacks were a thing of the past.

The problem is that your man and the people around him are pushing both racism and racial discord more than ever before:

I know that’s not your intent in supporting Trump, but I’m afraid the more he and his people do this the greater chance you will encounter hostility if you openly support him with clothing or hats at this time.

Oh I agree. I wasn’t really referring to physical attacks. I was more referring to people looking at you with contempt and scorn. I’m afraid that’s going to happen more often. 
 

And it’s underserved. I suspect most people who wear Trump gear don’t quite realize how offensive it can be to others. I doubt they mean it to be that way. But it’s also very understandable why anyone might feel that way. He (not you) really has behaved very badly.

Man Sucker-Punched in the Face for Wearing MAGA-Style 'Make 50 Great Again' Hat
Click to expand...
Huh I've been to this bar. It's an old Nashville honky tonk. Drunk woman hits man is not exactly a new take there.

A man's surprise birthday gift led to a surprise attack at a Broadway bar.

Daniel Sprague was at The Stage bar on Broadway sporting a gift his wife gave him for his 50th birthday bash—a hat that says "Make 50 Great Again." The hat is styled to look like a "Make America Great Again" hat that supporters of President Donald Trump wear.

"People were just coming up to me and, you know, just loving the little wordplay on the hat and taking pictures and wishing me happy birthday," Sprague told News4.

However, one woman at the bar was not as amused.

"At one point," Sprague said, "A female came up from behind me, spun me around, and punched me in the face and then grabbed my hat off my head and was just yelling, 'How dare you.'"

The punch was hard enough to cut Sprague's face.

Indiana couple allegedly used a car to force two teenage boys off a road, angered that the twin brothers were riding bicycles adorned with flags supporting President Donald Trump

A northwestern Indiana couple allegedly used a car to force two teenage boys off a road, angered that the twin brothers were riding bicycles adorned with flags supporting President Donald Trump, before ripping one of the sibling's flag from his bike, police said Friday.

...

According to a probable cause affidavit, the boys told officers that a vehicle with a man driving and woman passenger followed them before the male driver pulled up nearby and asked one of the boys “if they were Trump supporters” — to which the boy replied that they were.

The driver then swerved at the boys, forcing them onto roadside grass to avoid being struck, according to the affidavit. The driver followed the boys before exiting the car and tearing off the flag from one of the brother's bikes, the affidavit states.

The driver dropped the flag, which was affixed to the bike with fishing pole, ran back to his car and drove off, “but not before running the flag over,” it states. ...

...

In a video posted to Snapchat, allegedly by the couple of their encounter with the boy, shows “the driver turns the wheel sharply as if he saw the boys and wanted to hit them with the vehicle while yelling `ya'll better get home,'" according to the affidavit. A male's voice is then heard telling the female passenger “pull that flag down" in the video which shows the female trying to reach it through her window and her saying, “get closer."

“The female is then heard saying `ya'll scared, just like your president'' and `America is not great'" followed by an expletive, according to the affidavit.

In a second Snapchat video, Perry-Jones alleged says, “Don't let me see you downtown" to one of the boys and threatens to beat him up. ...

...The victim, Air Force veteran Charles Chase, told police he was holding a pro-Trump sign Tuesday when he was violently attacked.

...Fall River police said that 27-year-old Aidan Courtright got out of his car approached Chase at the rotary of North Main Street and Airport Road, screaming “Give me the f—ing sign!”

...“Courtright then forcefully ripped the sign out of the victim’s hands, ripped it in half, and threw it on the ground,” police said. “Courtright then went after the victim, grabbing him by his shirt, knocking his hat off, and throwing him violently to the ground.”

Authorities said Courtright kicked the man “with leather pointed shoes,” while he was on the ground, and then drove away. Chase was taken to a hospital to be treated for bruising. “I didn’t know that he had lifted me up, but he apparently lifted me up and flung me down on my back on the ground,” Chase said. Police said two independent witnesses saw the attack and corroborated Chase’s story. “The victim stated that he believed that he was targeted and attacked because of his political beliefs and the “Trump” hat that he was wearing,” police said. Police were able to contact Courtright and he turned himself in to the police station. He’s facing charges of civil rights violation with injury, assault and battery on a person over 60, vandalism of personal property and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

The two competing forces collided Saturday on the Twitter feed of Trump campaign senior adviser Mercedes Schlapp, when she boosted a tweet that lauded a man in Texas in a viral video as he yelled the n-word and wielded a chainsaw to chase away anti-racism demonstrators.
Click to expand...
Do you know who the Schlapps are?

We have 3 stories:

1. a woman in a conservative Nashville honkytonk socks a man wearing a red hat (which wasn't a Maga hat as it turns out, just looked like one) - believe me, you'd definitely think you were taking a risk walking in there with a Biden 2020 shirt, not what looked like a Maga hat. Police complaint filed.

2. A mixed race couple, 18 & 23 years old, run some kids off the road in rural Indiana and make them take the Trump flags off their bikes. Woman is arrested, the man is sought for arrest.

3. A 27 year old guy in Fall River Mass (pretty rust belt) rips a sign from an older man, and kicks him. Man is arrested.

*************

Vs.

High level Trump campaign official who circulates a video containing a racist expletive and actual violence to tens, maybe hundreds of thousands after it's been cascaded.

*************

None of this is any good but I really want to know which of these you think is most dangerous?

There's no excuse for any disrespectfulness towards somebody wearing gear (Trump or Biden). You live in America. Get a clue.

I live in a small town & there's been some issues with people wearing Trump gear. I didn't know about it until recently. I've recently become politically active so it might've just flown over my head.

That's the epitome of a coward. Similar to Michael Thomas & all the other clowns trashing Brees for his stance. Guess what, MT, you & all the other protestors aren't the only ones who get to have a stance.

I don't like kneeling, but they certainly have the right. I just ignore it. It does torch my shorts that they claim it has nothing to do with the flag, but of course it does. If it didn't have anything to do with the flag, they'd protest another way. What they need to realize is like themselves & their cause, many people find kneeling disgusting for their own reasons. It has nothing to do with you being black. Nothing, whatsoever. Wake up & smell the coffee.

Back to the Trump gear thing, the few instances I've heard of were older guys as the targets. Probly just veterans who are proud of their country. A couple of weeks ago I borrowed a Trump hat from a neighbor (who's afraid to wear it) & walked around Wal-Mart for 30 minutes at its busiest. It was crickets as far as aggression (not surprising), but some of the looks on people's faces were priceless. Good times, LOL. I'd love to secretly film it somehow.

BTW, to be fair, I did get a lot of positive comments & thumbs-ups.

And I'm now the proud owner of my own Trump hat.

It'll be worn for the first time later today when I do some shopping.
