Jackass got fired last Thursday, and figures if he's incarcerated at least he'll get 3 meals and a cot. And (BONUS!) Big Tony. Yeah, Big Tony.

All prisoners, actually, should demand special organic diets. Let's see how that goes. Not just organic vegetables, but expensive organic meats as well. The bread must be made from organic flour (I've got a 12 lb. bag of King Arthur organic flour right now.) Only organic milk. I'm sure the government will comply.

be arrested and they are still planning to do more violence.

tRump needs to be removed he needs to be stripped of the title of pResident immediately. and all of his enablers too. Who is exacly running our government right now after all these resignations, They all knew and did not do anything.

The media should NOT give any air time to tRump either. He is a criminal and more than that.

even the fbi stepped on his rally with their own presser.

He is out in the cold. He is going to do increasingly bizarre and destructive things just to get attention.

Some children will start fires in their own homes to get attention. so will trump.

Spelling is especially hard for them. Notice how many are identifiable by their clothes. Planning on storming the Capital today - guess I will wear my pink hat, maybe some horns, or my CFD hat.

I've known people who weren't terribly smart, but were aware of their limitations. At least they were smart enough to know what they didn't know. These fools advertise their stupidity as well as their criminality. A truly special kind of idiocy.

Edit to correct "were" to "weren't" - didn't make any sense, sorry.

The owners of the store decried his actions in an Instagram post, and some former employees came on and said, "well, this is probably inappropriate given that he's got a mental disability," and the owners pulled back and agreed and apologized. I don't have links, but saw the discussion some where. Just conveying.

But just because they have developmental disabilities doesn’t necessarily make them any more easily influenced.

Just look at all the so-called “normal” traitors.
