I really hate the way people edit these clips for twitter. While video itself is untrustworthy, mid-sentence skips make me doubt the message even more.

BK, while you're waiting for that bridge, let us know if Trump pays the bill for the thousands in expenses for him visiting your state. Or he stiffs you like every other place.

Thinking the federal govt. has a primary role on road projects (or other state infrastructure) is about as misinformed and ignorant that thinking can get. Most road projects (including major highways) source funding from within the state. In my state there is a huge widening project going on for I-25, and most that is coming from CDOT. So keep believing Trump's promises that you think will improve your local situation, and continue yelling with all the other mouth breathing racists at his white power rallies. Or, I dunno, maybe educate yourself and learn which politicians (from your elected local school board members all the way up to the state level representatives) are making the decisions that have an effect on your community.

Same rally: 'We stand on the shoulders of American patriots who crossed the oceans, settled the continent, tamed the wilderness, revolutionized industry, pioneered science, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism," Trump said. "And we're gonna defeat socialism and put a man on the face of the moon."'

Based on his past tweets, Trump probably meant Mars.

'Our nation has now committed to sending astronauts to Mars. Any life there might threaten them, and us upon their return. Thus, the issue of life on Mars is now front and center. [...] In addition to the direct evidence for life on Mars obtained by the Viking LR, evidence supportive of, or consistent with, extant microbial life on Mars has been obtained by Viking, subsequent missions to Mars, and discoveries on Earth'

2nd promise to rebuild the Calcasieu River I 10 bridge tonight in Lake Charles. I don’t believe it but I sure fucking hope it happens. And once again it got the loudest reaction from the crowd. People(me) standing up cheering for that. I didn’t think it was possible for them to out scream the “Bullshit impeachment” line he uttered but yeah mention that fucking bridge and we will lose our minds!

Why the fuck are you at a Trump rally?

'Following a week in which Facebook has been extensively criticized for its policy that allows politicians to lie in paid advertisements, Warren decided to place an ad of her own that makes false statements about Facebook and its chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg. “Breaking news: Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook just endorsed Donald Trump for re-election,” the ad reads. "You're probably shocked, and you might be thinking, 'how could this possibly be true?' Well, it's not. (Sorry.)" The ad then goes on to state that Zuckerberg has "given Donald Trump free rein to lie on his platform." Although television networks usually reject ads with blatant falsehoods, "Facebook just cashes Trump's checks." The presidential hopeful then goes on to say that Facebook "already helped elect Donald Trump once" and is now "deliberately allowing a candidate to intentionally lie to the American people. It's time to hold Mark Zuckerberg accountable."'

She really could have gone a bit further with the lies about Zuckerberg....

Just to fucking exp it since it’s extremely rare in my area and to compare it to Bill’s 96’ visit on a law enforcement and by the public scale. I wanted to see protesters and sycophants interacting and I got both. I wanted to see with my own eyes instead of narrow planted camera views the full colors of people in the crowd and I’m utterly happy with the multi hued crowd I saw.

By being there, you make this guy and his supporters think you and by extension your place support him. The physical presence of people at his rallies spur him and his bigoted as the day is long followers.

What was your reaction during the long sections on how this impeachment inquiry is a load of crap started by America hating Nancy Pelosi?

I guess it is the equivalent of people in the middle ages going to watch public hangings. Because, you know, little else to do.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Public hangings are only done because people go to them - which they shouldn't. Nobody should be murdered by the state.

Nobody should be going to Trump rallies beyond media and his actual supporters. I can't tell from a distance if someone is there because they're bored and have nothing better to do or if they're there because they support all his racist, sexist, bigoted, corrupt actions and talk. The person's presence there alone says something that's not good.

Applauding a pathological liar when he talks about infrastructure plans that will never materialize is a dumb move. All he's going to do is remember that people cheered for him, no matter what he said or did and certainly no matter if he follows up on anything or not at all.
