'"I wasn't laughing any louder than people were cheering," he said. "Sure, it was audible. But it wasn't an act of aggression in any way."

He claims a man sitting in front of him became confrontational and threatened to hit him.

After allegedly winking at him and telling him "I dare you," security was called over a security guard who, at first, declined to kick Eugene out.

Then after a few more laughs, the same man turned around, called him again and made a phone call.

Moments later, security appeared and told Eugene he was "uninvited" from the event.

He said he blew kisses as he walked out of the arena, and the crowd began to heckle him.

Someone yelled "f@#& Kaepernick," and he said he also heard someone yell the N-word.'

BK, I think that most of us aren’t against a conservative lifestyle, but we are against Trump because of things he has said and done. we know that you are an open minded individual, and I would hope that you spread that in your community.

Today is wild all over, we got the trifecta in Trump news:

He's an incompetent moron, as shown above.

He's a criminal:




And he's a Nazi:

'U.S. officials have been “quietly reviewing plans for evacuating roughly 50 tactical nuclear weapons” that we’ve long stored in Turkey – which wasn’t cause for concern until Turkey started firing artillery rounds at American troops.'

http://www.msnbc.com...i055MOd7zg3ghhk

'“Incirlik is Turkey’s air base, not ours,” Narang said. “And that is essentially the problem. We store these nuclear weapons in secure vaults on a Turkish air base, where we either have to secure them under the present circumstances, or bring transport aircraft to the base, move them on a Turkish air base and then fly them out of Turkish airspace if we wanted to extract them.

“Under the present circumstances, that is not a simple logistical or security feat.”'

https://www.washingt...nding-protocol/

'Erdogan claims nuclear ambitions of his own: Only a month ago, speaking to supporters, he said he “cannot accept” rules that keep Turkey from possessing nuclear weapons of its own.


“There is no developed nation in the world that doesn’t have them,” he said. (In fact, most do not.)'

Dementia? No longer speculation.

People can no longer say his speeches are man of the people language. If he does it in communications with foreign leaders.

Reads like a ten year old wrote it. Has no details, no specifics. I wouldn't be surprised if foreign leaders try to duck his calls. Tell trump I'm busy, I can't be sucked into that time blackhole right now.

Also Pelosi said he had a melt down and like a three year old he tuns around and says no she had a meltdown. Come on!

Would Pelosi or Schumer admit it if Pelosi lost her cool?

I mean, I'd start screaming obosceneties if I was in that meeting with those people.

It especially melts my brain because he WANTED this out there for the public to read....he actually thinks it makes him look good. Fucking delusional.

He's also doing his typical narcissistic projection thing where he accuses others of what he himself is guilty of by claiming that during a meeting, where for all intents and purposes the man had a crazy tantrum when Nancy Pelosi said "All Roads Lead To Putin" to him....he claims SHE'S the one losing her marbles. Meanwhile he also claimed that a 4-star general wasn't "tough" enough to defeat ISIS and Trump claims to have done that in a month...

This guy is 100% in dementia territory now...and mixed with his narcissism....man...crazy.

Also, when ghouls like McConnell and Graham are taking potshots at you for the whole Syria Turks thing...you've long lost the plot...

I love how he tweeted a pic of Pelosi confronting him as her having a meltdown, and she turned it into her social media profile photo and thanked him for it.
