7. Every freaking day this week,

I thought things can't get worse. But whadda ya know? Here we are at Saturday and things are at rock bottom. Please, let us hope that next week is better. We can't keep having weeks like this last one or we're going lower than a coal mine in West Virginia.

9. Wow. I couldn't agree more. 45 has unleashed demons everywhere.

15. Who'd have thought starting a nuclear war with North Korea

Would only be the SECOND worst thing Trump did this week?

(Edit: weird. Someone just posted a tweet saying almost the same thing https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029452680 )

8. Not just poles, at least one of those MFers was using a cattle prod.

There is a video of this scene. That guy on the left is holding a 5-6 ft electric cattle prod. If you look at where his hands are, it appears that some kind of black material is wrapped around that end of the object. It is covering up the handle where the trigger mechanism is.

The video shows black guy they're beating getting up and jumping over the barrier on the right. In the middle of his leap the punk with the electric cattle prod shocks him, his muscles freeze and he fall hard, stiff as board. It takes him a few seconds before he can move and all the while the cattle prod guy is coming after him. He finally manages to get up ans stumbles away.

11. Do you have a link to the video?

I looked on Twitter and Google and couldn't find it.

13. No, but it was on MSNBC. nt

[barbtries]

12. apparently this happened right next to the police station

i followed the tweet. don't know if that's accurate or not.
but given what i'm reading even in this thread, the police are not protecting the people in an equal and unbiased way.

here's another tweet saying the state police were not stopping the nazis from a lot of violent and threatening acts.

16. Trump has destroyed this country... Mission Accomplished you flaming orange asshole.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Every time I think that I can't possibly get any angrier, something happens that

pushes me over that edge. Trump has destroyed this country for sure, but I'm afraid he's not done yet. I only hope he can be stopped before it gets much worse.

17. These Racist Nazi Thugs Are Sub Human Losers

I was enraged all day watching this. And yes, the authorities were way slow on the draw.

Our illegitimate clown in the White House hit a new low today, not calling out who he should have specifically called out. Most other republicans have....Richard Painter on MSNBC was beyond livid at Chitolini for his tepid statement.

just a horrible day, complete with some loser kid from Ohio going Mr. Mercedes on the people protesting these evil morons.
