Bad week for the buds.

Image result for oreilly trump images  I think we all are happy that Bill O'Liely got the boot over at FOX.  As his friend Maxine Waters eloquently stated:  There might be something psychologically wrong with the man. And the fact that he lasted so long at FOX without his allegedly piggish behavior being an issue, tells you all you need to know about that network.

I hate to kick a man when he is down, but we are talking about Bill O'Reilly here. Besides, he has 25 million reasons  not to be too down on himself. 

Then we have our president and his lawyers who don't seem to quite understand how this 1st Amendment thing works
                            

"Well, this one takes the cake. And I’m not talking about the most beautiful chocolate cake you’ve ever seen.

Donald Trump is being sued for inciting violence at his 2016 Louisville rally at which several African American protesters were assaulted by his fans after he screamed “Get ‘em out of here!” from the stage. And yesterday his lawyers made one of the most ridiculous arguments I think I’ve ever heard of. They’re claiming that even if Trump did incite violence, the protesters had no right to demonstrate at his rally because they were interfering with his First Amendment rights.
Trump’s lawyers also argue that he had every right to call for the removal the protesters since they “obviously interfered with the Trump campaign’s First Amendment right” by “vigorously expressing their disdain for Mr. Trump,” including by chanting and holding up signs depicting Trump’s face on the body of a pig, among other anti-Trump messages.
“Of course, protesters have their own First Amendment right to express dissenting views, but they have no right to do so as part of the campaign rally of the political candidates they oppose,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.
I had to read this article a couple of times to make sure this is really what they’re arguing. It is." [Source]

No words.

    Of course Trump had the right to throw protesters out of rallies his campaign had organized.

    He did not have the right to incite the crowds to throw protesters out, and to do violence to them in the process. Removing unwanted attendees is the job of security staff.

    I agree. No words. It was an appalling display when it was happening and now seems so prescient to the nightmare we are experiencing in the Trump presidency.

    Trump is boosting fascist Marine Le Pen in France's presidential election this weekend, grotesquely celebrating the possibility that Le Pen might benefit politically from a recent jihadi shooting of police officers there.

    Meanwhile, ex-prez Obama is #TeamMacron.

    Black people applaud when "racists" are no-platformed by crowds of masked thugs (hey, wasn't the KKK a bunch of masked thugs?).

    Black people object when their agitators are prevented from using a candidate's paid-for space as their platform.

    Black people are too stupid to understand either natural or Constitutional rights.

    Black people are not Americans.  You all have to go back.  Or just go.  We Americans don't care what happens to you, as long as you're not here anymore.

    What nonsense. Leftist thugs go to Trump rallys to incite violence, then sue Trump over their own actions.

    When I could afford satellite TV years ago, I did sometimes watch O'Reilly just because it's important to know what these people are thinking.

    I now just get news feeds on my Facebook page just so that I'll at least have some knowledge of whats going on in the world.

    O'Reilly may not be there anymore but that doesn't mean his way of thinking is gone. After all he was removed for sexual harassment, not ultra conservative or racist views. They prolly have a clone waiting in the wings to take over his time slot :).

    But, on the other hand, since this is a 'democratic' society, that stations views must be aired also. Otherwise this would be a dictatorship no?

    If you think that Trump's lawyers' legal logic is faulty (rally protesters were "interfering with his First Amendment rights"?), they've got nothing on Maryland's police.

    Two black girls have been charged, not with vandalism, but a hate crime for torching a pro-Trump sign.

    Apparently, the cops in Princess Anne, Maryland, think "MAGA moron" is a race?

    Yes, some of them are mean to the Muslims (mostly of North African origin) who live there. Many Muslims are not well integrated and live unhappily in poor ghetto suburbs called "banlieues."

    France also has a stated policy of secularism ("laïcité"), which sounds like a nice, liberal concept of maintaining separation between church and state. But in practice, it often takes the form of persecuting Muslims for wearing traditional Islamic dress in public. In fact, this is one of the things that Marine Le Pen's hateful party is all about: bans on headscarves and halal meats, etc., for the purpose of harassing Muslims.

    For anyone interested, here is a video on French Trumpism (the Front National Party).

    It's basically the same crap as American Trumpism. Rural white French have been screwed by bad economic policy, but their grievances have been redirected toward foreigners/minorities (and also, in France's case, the European Union), who had nothing to do with the problem.

    Racist rednecks getting angry at scapegoats seems to be a universal problem in Western countries at the moment.

    The absurd thing is that this isn't about anyone's First Amendment rights. Those arguments would be irrelevant regardless of their merits. The case is about whether Trump has the right to cause people to get beaten up by an angry mob (he doesn't).

    You aren't American.  You're "African-American", which is a kind of fake American that means African.  Same with "Mexican-American".

    "Somebody can always buy my condo and include a substantial sum and I'll consider moving but after I retire in about 20 years."

    We'll just do to you what you did to Americans.  We'll AFFH a bunch of MS-13 into your building and offer to buy out the first wave of departures at 20% of FMV (Former Market Value), falling at one percent per month.  After the last of you has sold, been foreclosed on or killed, we'll put the building in receivership and move the MS-13 to blacker pastures, then turn the whole shebang over to white yuppies aka "urban pioneers" for renovation.  We'll re-district the local public schools to keep the dindus and beaners out so the yuppies won't even have to move to have kids.  If the new schools teach building trades starting in 8th grade or so, they'll graduate HS about to profit from flipping a renovated condo and be ready to start their own families by age 20.

    Your job gives you options, like moving to Rio.  After wage garnishments to pay off your mortgage balance, I'm sure you can find space in one of the very nice favelas there.  <snicker>

    Apparently, even major distinctions are too difficult for you.

    There's more to being an American than US citizenship.  Syed Farook and Omar Mateen were US citizens.  Luis Guttierez is a US citizen.  George Soros is a US citizen.

    None of them think, act or vote like Americans, and the places they dominate are very obviously not American.  They are not Americans, and neither are you.
