  1. So they took away his “silence of the lambs” vhs and he ended up finding a dvd of “The Purge”.

  2. Trump runs a campaign of hate. And hatemongers, bigots, and hateful Christian Nationalist all supported him.

    Check your voting status. Be sure to vote this November.

    Says a guy who has never been in a fistfight or been punched in the face. He sure is comfortable expecting other people to be violent on his behalf, though . . .

  4. Acting like he was referring to the “Purge” is more sane-washing.

    What he was describing was absolutely more akin to the “Day of the Rope”, which is so much worse.

  5. The implication here is not about crime, it’s “if you make me president, I will give you a free pass to kill all the democrats and minorities.” It sounds like a huge jerk-off fantasy for lots of insecure males.

  6. A private citizen **convicted of thirty four (34) felonies** – ya’ know, *an actual criminal* – is ‘bigly’ suggesting the thing.

    Biff ain’t well… but this is not in the least shocking.

    If he wants it, it *starts* aimed directly at **him**.

    Fear of punishment isn’t a deterrent to crime. That was one of the first things we learned in Criminology. Crime has more to do with economics and opportunity

    Google the term, “The day of the rope”. This has Steven Miller’s fingerprints all over this.

  9. The New York Times will run their story on this with the headline:

    *Trump Unveils Controversial Plan to Solve Crime Problem*

    It’s not a coincidence that the third purge movie used make America great again as its tag line. He just doesn’t realize they were making fun of his fascist ass

  11. What a great idea, surely it will work well. The police have never gone after the wrong
    Person…

  12. If this is what police can do to shoplifters if trump wins then what can happen to someone who steals classified documents if Harris wins?

  13. This guy is advocating for a lynch mob.

    Normally I would say “this guy is basically* advocating for a lynch mob” however that would give a grey area to how legitimate his actions could be perceived. This statement does not deserve a grey area.

    Like the whole “round up illegal immigrants and deport them” while objectively abhorrent because of how many and they would round up and the innocent who would be persecuted, remains a statement that could be interpreted as lawful. This kind of garbage he’s spewing is the stuff of our racist past.
