And of course, it was TOTALLY BEYOND THE PALE for a production of Julius Caesar to encourage violence by having the title character look like the president....

Anyway, with regards to the Declaration of Independence.....

NPR tweeted the entire text on the 4th. Needless to say, some Trump supporters took exception to it.

Declaration of Independence: "It is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government..."
Twitter user: "So, NPR is calling for revolution...."

Declaration:  "A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."
Twitter user: "Please stop. This is not the right place."

Other comments by people who didn't get it:
"Propaganda is that all you know how? Try supporting a man who wants to do something about the Injustice in this country #drainingtheswamp"
"Literally no one is going to read 5000 tweets about this trash." (It only took 113)
"Glad you are being defunded. You have never been balanced on your show."
"Are you drunk? Your silly tweets make your state of mind questionable."

Well....

Maybe they were expecting the GOP's amended version, as shared by Brian Dickerson of the Detroit Free Press:

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people PARTY to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another THE OTHER PARTY and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal SUPERIOR station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God BIGGEST ELECTORAL VICTORY EVER (IF YOU DON’T COUNT THE FRAUDULENT VOTES) entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind DEMANDS OF CABLE NEWS requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation ISSUE A STATEMENT, IDEALLY BEFORE THE PRESIDENT TWEETS SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE AGREED ON."

What do you think about that, Mr. President? Anything to say? Mr. President? Mr. President???



Your limo is over there, sir....

And yet people like andrat did NOT condemn it in any way and now are taking silly jokes as a call for murder.

Here's a collection of some good ones.

Well, you know..... the reason that deal worked was because Trump's chief opponent in the general election put together the package of tough sanctions that forced Iran to cry "Uncle!" and head to the negotiating table. You know, the Secretary of State whose enemies / opponents always wanted to know what she accomplished as SecState?

Do you think she'd be better at handling the current situation than Trump?

[StrikezOne]

Whenever its a negative Hillary comment, hear the usual...

"Shes not the president!"
"Why are you still talking about her! Shes not the President!"
"This is irrelevant! Shes not the president!"
"...dead horse!"
"Leave her alone!"

Whenever its a positive Hillary comment, .... well, everything seems to be smooth as can be. Its the best.

[StrikezOne]

Now take this!

[andrat2000]

OK, I don't like Merkel.

But I think this picture comes down, to: OMG, what an idiot!

[rtpoe]

You know, maybe it's a good thing that Trump & Co keep holding up papers for the camera. That way, we can keep making fun of them....

She has been keeping real quiet lately. Remorse?

Oh, the hypocrisy.....

[TheZookie007]

Much ado about...something.

So, you know that "Election Integrity" Commission the WH set up to collect voter data from the states so that they could make sure there was no voter fraud and that they'd no way, no how use that information to suppress the votes of anyone they didn't like, no siree!

Well, they asked the public for comments..... They published a bunch two days ago:

"you are all about voter suppression to rig elections.  you are evil. pray there is no hell." - soibangla

"Hi, I voted in all 50 states. Just wanted you to know." - Beau

---

“Dear Mr. Kobach…

I have watched your activities in Kansas trying to suppress voters on the basis of fraudulent claims of massive voter fraud for which there is absolutely no evidence. Your new agency is preparing, it seems, to rig elections. You, sir, are the fraud and neither you nor our President are to be trusted.

Mr. Trump’s claims that millions of fraudulent votes were cast against him is the ravings of an egomaniac who can’t stand to lose.

I hope and pray that you fail.” - Fr. Antony Hughes

---

“Just because P. Trump’s ego can’t stand losing the popular vote, it doesn’t mean the whole country should suffer.” - Diane Kroeze

“I wholeheartedly support California’s decision not to send you the voter data you requested. Your lack of integrity and refusal to acknowledge basic facts undermines our democracy.”—Bob Worobec

“I pay the government a boat load of taxes, so you work for me. I think you are doing a terrible job. Explain yourself.”—Diane Hallinen

“Is this where we file complaints about the guy who lost the election but still became president?”—John Butler

Oh, and to make it even more stupid....

In the released collection of responses, the WH neglected to redact names, addresses, and other identifiers... Oopsie!

Not a bug, but a feature. I mean, what better way to squash dissent, than by letting the citizenry complain on a website, capture their names and home addresses, then distribute those names and addresses to (say) the local branch of the NRA (which in June re-released an ad basically calling upon their members to cause bodily harm against anyone who doesn't like the current occupant of the White House). I wonder how eager one would be to say anything bad about them thereafter. So I guess now there is a penalty for exercising one’s constitutional right to petition the government for redress of grievances, that penalty being White House collusion in your identity theft -- or worse.

Oh, look. Suddenly our new policy initiative to give oil companies permission to drill in Yellowstone National Park right near an active supervolcano, for which we solicited feedback from the public, has received a 157% positive rating! Goody goody!

As I said it's the call to action to murder people who critique Trumpel.
