ABC put together a list of all the Trump-inspired crimes (and they do pro and con).

'No Blame?' ABC News finds 36 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults.

...............

The 36 cases identified by ABC News are remarkable in that a link to the president is captured in court documents and police statements, under the penalty of perjury or contempt.

In many cases of assault or threat, charges are never filed, perpetrators are never identified or the incident is never even reported to authorities. And most criminal acts committed by Trump supporters or his detractors have nothing to do with the president. But in 36 cases, court records and police reports indicated some sort of link.

..........

The perpetrators and suspects identified in the 36 cases are mostly white men -- as young as teenagers and as old as 75 -- while the victims largely represent an array of minority groups -- African-Americans, Latinos, Muslims and gay men.


Here are the 36 cases identified by ABC News:

It's becoming a mess getting workers out of Trump event. Crowd getting angry-Updated w-Do's & Don'ts

It’s becoming a mess getting workers out of Trump event. Crowd getting angry. Many of them stopped getting paid at 3pm when their shift ended.

A plant employee is now trying to calm the crowd down. Says they will get paid because they are still here working. No one can leave until the motorcade is gone. Most have been standing since noon.

They were told to attend the rally or stay home and not get paid for the day. They also were told not to speak to the press. 😡

-- Anthony Scaramucci's epiphany halfway through watching Schindler's List.

“I’m starting to have doubts about the Hitler character. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed the movie so far. But after the ghetto liquidation scene, I’m seeing a previously-hidden side of the Nazis.”

Fox: New Evidence Hillary Killed Lincoln

Satire from The Borowitz Report
By Andy Borowitz
May 11, 2013

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what may be the most serious allegation ever made against the former Secretary of State, Fox News Channel reported today that Hillary Clinton was involved in the conspiracy to murder President Abraham Lincoln.

The latest charge against Mrs. Clinton was reported by Fox host Sean Hannity, who said that the evidence of her role in the Lincoln assassination came mainly in the form of e-mails.

......................

The accusation against Mrs. Clinton drew a strong response from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R.—-S. Carolina): “There’s been a concerted effort by Hillary Clinton to cover up her role in President Lincoln’s murder. She has said nothing about it. This is bigger than Watergate, the Cuban missile crisis, and the Second World War put together.”

Responding to the allegation, Mrs. Clinton issued a terse statement indicating that she could not have participated in Lincoln’s assassination because she was born in 1947.

“That’s what she wants us to believe,” Sen. Graham said.

Time Is Up Trump "Just leaving Sturgis bike rally -Shocking- the absence of Trump vendors..& atire."


Just leaving Sturgis bike rally. Shocking.. the absence of Trump vendors..and atire. Yes saw a couple shirts.. but so little compared to anywhere in 2018. Did not see 1 MAGA hat. Your time is up Trump!



Did you see the tacky 'Build the Wall" trailer that was driving around Sturgis?
He tried to get some friends who were selling Indian tacos 2 sell some of his Trump junk at their stand. Was very offended when they just started laughing at him.
