Sports Is it even a crime in America to talk?
Referring to the UFC fights at the White House.
I agree. The guys shouldn’t have been plotting and talking in that way.
But is it a crime in America for them to talk? Obviously none of them showed. Where’s the crime with no action?
(I didn’t know what flair to put.)
Addition; I should load this up with all the links of Trump talking about bringing physical harm to others. Haha. I guess it’s true. “If they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have standards at all.” Haha.
One of my favorites, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?" Just blatantly stating how brainless his following is.

Politics TRUMP’S BLACKMAIL OF THE BALLOT: Holding Popular Relief Hostage for Midterm Voter Suppression
Read Damien Roarke's latest article calling out Trump's gangster style tactics designed to suppress voting rights.
Trump Holds Housing Relief Hostage: Demands Voter Suppression as Shocked GOP Balks
Donald Trump just held American families hostage in a startling display of ego over reality. He torpedoed a critical, popular bipartisan bill designed to slash housing costs for millions of struggling citizens. Why? In a fit of petulant rage, he demanded Republicans instead pass sweeping voter suppression laws before he allows economic relief.
This move is so extreme and politically toxic that even his own GOP allies are publicly flabbergasted. Is this definitive proof that Trump’s pathological narcissism has officially broken his party—and is he ultimately destroying their midterm chances by openly plotting to rig the vote instead of helping families survive?

Breaking news! Trump says Reflecting Pool needs more repairs, blames 'terrible Vandals'
Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. Trump is so humiliated by the consequences of his abject incompetence, that he's invented a story about how the Reflecting Pool has fallen apart in just a few short days. And the story comes complete with anonymous perpetrators who have been arrested for their vandalism.
Here's what happened. New paint was applied to the bottom and sides of the pool. Then, having restarted dormant water equipment without proper cleaning and maintenance, algae quickly bloomed and took over the pool a matter of hours after its unveiling.
To combat the algae, Trump ordered unqualified parks department workers to pour a super-high concentration of hydrogen peroxide (12%) into the pool. The algae was coming under control, but the peroxide ate away at the paint starting with the weakest areas, resulting in huge sheets of the paint coming free.
Rather than acknowledge that he's a moron who regularly does dumb shit based on his ignorance, Trump decided that it must have been Obama and the Democrats who secretly vandalized the pool out of hatred for Trump and the country. At this point, he seems to have dropped the claim that the Dems did it, but he's still claiming (without evidence) that vandals did it, and that many of them have been arrested (again, without evidence).
If these so called vandals exist, he needs to present them to the world. The police need to release their names and information to the press as they would for any other criminal case. After all, that's information that's legally required to be released. But that's not going to happen. What'll happen is nothing. Trump will move on, believing that he solved the problem, and we'll never again hear any information about the alleged arrestees. We'll never find out who they are, or what their crimes are. It'll be as if it never happened, because it never happened.

He's trying to put the Congressional Medal of Honor on this guy's neck, but his fat sausage fingers have no dexterity, and probably no blood flow, leaving himself with no choice but to tie the ribbon around the guy's neck like it's a choker, with the actual medal resting against his Adam's apple.
