SO many republican politicians and republican voters claim they are not drumpf/trump-pence supporters, that they do not support racism, fascism, sexism, bigotry, hate and fear mongering, misogyny, immorality, corruption and lies. If this is true drumpf/trump-pence would have never been nominated as the republican candidates for president and vice-president. If this is true the republican senators and representatives leaving congress this year because they oppose the drumpf/trump-pence administration would be working with and voting with the Democrats against drumpf's/trump's Supreme Court nominee and the corrupt policies of his administration. If this is true republican candidates would not have drumpf/trump or pence or anyone from their administration campaigning for them like rep lou barletta r PA at this rally.If this is true republican voters would not show up in the numbers they do to hear the embarrassing ranting and raving drumpf/trump delivered at this rally in Wilkes-Barre, PA. REMEMBER, THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS ARE ON TUESDAY, 6 NOV 18. VOTE, BECAUSE THE FUTURE OF OUR NATION WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE RESULTS.  GO TO ROCK THE VOTE or VOTE.ORG to make sure you are registered to vote or to register to vote as well as information about voting in your state.

During unhinged speech, Trump suggests he may still lock up Hillary and mimics MS-13 stabbings

The president smeared immigrants as murders and called journalists "horrible, horrendous people."

President Trump delivered a nearly 90-minute-long speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on Thursday night in which he suggested he may yet lock up Hillary Clinton and smeared immigrants as violent murderers.
When Trump mentioned Clinton, the crowd broke out in “lock her up!” chants. Trump responded by saying, “Some things just take a little bit longer.” He then complained that his Justice Department “only wants to go after Republicans. You look at the kind of criminal actions and crime — they only want to go after the Republicans.”

Trump focused much of his speech at Thursday’s campaign-style rally on immigration, touting his border wall and taking his familiar fearmongering about supposedly criminal immigrants to the extreme.
Trump disclosed that Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh have been advising him to shut down the government unless he gets more than $20 billion in funding for his border wall before the 2018 midterm election.
Trump then lied about the wall, falsely claiming “we’re building it.” In reality, Trump hasn’t received any money to build the structure, which he promised during his campaign that Mexico would fund.
Alluding to a possible shut down, Trump said, “we are going to start to get very nasty over the wall.”
At another point, Trump sought to scare people about the risks posed by immigrants by referring to MS-13 as “slicers” and “animals” and mimicking the motions of a person being stabbed.

The president went on to literally accuse visa lottery recipients of murder.
“‘Our fist lottery winner — let’s see, he has seven convictions for death. He’s killed nine people.’ And we’re getting him the hell out of our country!” Trump said.

In fact, visa lottery recipients are vetted just like all legal immigrants are, and immigrants — both undocumented and otherwise — commit crimes at rates no higher than American citizens.
At one point, Trump mockingly mimicked cancer-stricken Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for his decisive vote last summer against repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

After his speech concluded, Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro unironically spun Trump’s performance as “positive” and “funny.”
“He was positive, he was funny. But more importantly, he had a message of success,” she said.

House Republicans Get An Earful At Town Halls Back Home 19AUG11

WELL at least not all repiglican and tea-bagger representatives are the blatant whore rep paul ryan r WI ($15 a session) is and don't charge their constituents to meet with them, but there are a handful who have decided their pay from their corporate masters just isn't enough and so are charging constituents for their time. A session with rep chip cravaack r MN cost $10, rep lou barletta r PA charges $30, rep renee ellmers r NC $13, and rep ben quale r AZ will let you chew his ear off for $35. Shameless political whores, each and every one. It is good these repiglicans and tea-baggers are hearing from their constituents, and that their constituents are realizing what a mistake they made in electing these fools! From HuffPost...

WASHINGTON -- On Thursday, more than 200 protesters impeded traffic in Washington state as they gathered near the offices of GOP Rep. Dave Reichert, chanting, "We need jobs. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!" This is the third protest targeting Reichert since the vote on the debt ceiling, Patch reported.
He's not the only House Republican getting an earful from his constituents during the August congressional recess. In town halls from New Hampshire to Minnesota, GOP members have been bombarded with complaints.
In New Mexico last week, a woman angry about Congress’ partisan squabbling over the debt ceiling cursed at Rep. Steve Pearce. In Alabama, several constituents blasted oil subsidies at an event hosted by Rep. Mo Brooks. More than 150 showed up in Pennsylvania to express their frustration to Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick about everything from student loans to Social Security.
Taxes have been a major theme at several town halls. In Illinois, when Rep. Randy Hultgren proposed making the U.S. tax code “flatter, fairer,” his constituents responded by demanding that he support more taxes on the rich.
In New Hampshire, Rep. Frank Guinta -- who serves on the committee on oversight and government reform and the committee on the budget -- faced criticism from hurting voters. "I need desperate help," said John Cochrane, an attendee at Guinta's town hall who has been out of work for more than three years, according to Seacoastonline. "I want to be a good American again. I don't want to be a second-class American."
At an Ohio event for Rep. Steve Chabot, protesters held signs that read "Chabot Shame" and "Hands off my Medicare." Chabot promised the roomful of senior citizens that Medicare changes would affect only those 55 and younger. But one attendee, Teresa Law, told the Cincinnati Enquirer that she was unhappy with his answers. “I want to understand what in the world is going on here. We’re just hearing more rhetoric and we’re sidestepping the issues. It’s maddening,” she said.
Some Republicans sought to lower the temperature by holding virtual town halls or only appearing at forums where attendees had to pay to attend. Rep. Chip Cravaack (Minn.) spoke at an event this week for which a business trade group set an admission price of $10. Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.) went to an event hosted by a local Rotary Club that cost attendees $15. Reps. Lou Barletta (Penn.) appeared at a $30-per-plate "CEO-to-CEO" event last week, and Rep. Renee Ellmers (N.C.) appeared at an event that cost $13. The event Rep. Ben Quayle (Ariz.) showed up to cost $35 a head for a Q&A session and catered lunch.
This tactic may have helped some Republicans avoid protesters, but others weren't so lucky.
House Speaker John Boehner and Minnesota Rep. Erik Paulsen held a $10,000-a-person golf outing. (Lunch but no golf with both congressmen and Rep. Cravaack cost $1,000 a head.) Nearly 200 protesters showed up outside with signs accusing Republicans of protecting corporations over people, and a plane flew overhead with a banner that read, "Where's our piece of the pie? Jobs now."
WATCH the local Fox affiliate’s report on the protest:

Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Republican congressmen charged their constituents admission fees for town hall events. Many Republican congressmen spoke at events held by outside institutions where there was an admissions fee. This article also incorrectly stated that Rep. Chip Cravaack (R-Minn.) appeared at a $10,000-a-person golf outing with House Speaker John Boehner and fellow Minnesota Rep. Erik Paulsen. Cravaack does not play golf, according to his office, but he did show up to the luncheon after the game.
