monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Three CNN guests say that a staged decapitation of Trump by a CNN employee is insignificant and that anyone who would object is just a crybaby.

What are the odds that those same guests think that "someone yelling out 'You Lie!' when Obama lies" is an unforgivable act of racism?

For that matter, how would they react to someone conducting a similar stunt with a fake Obama head?

As long as it's a fake head I don't see any problem at all.

What is it about "free speech" that bothers people so much?

One size should fit all re freedom of expression law and reaction

Rodeo Clown Who Wore Obama Mask Receives Permanent Ban From Performing at State Fair

An unidentified rodeo clown who inspired a national controversy over the weekend by wearing a mask resembling President Barack Obama and asking the audience if they’d like to see him “run down by a bull” has received a permanent ban from performing at the Missouri State fair.

The fair said in a written statement announcing the rodeo clown’s ban that he had engaged in an “unconscionable stunt” that was “inappropriate and not in keeping with the Fair’s standards.”

"I have a hard time bringing myself to care about something like this. I think it just speaks to the need to see themselves as the victim...that they, the Trump people, are constantly being persecuted."

Sounds like CNN, sho nuff.

This wouldn't even be a story on CNN if it was Hillary Clinton's head. They wouldn't care enough to even mention it.

Fox News correspondent James Rosen also pushed the mainstream-media blackout notion on the evening news program “Special Report with Bret Baier.” On Thursday, he credited Circa for being the first to obtain the documents related to the NSA story, and then said this about the amount of pickup the revelations have triggered: “The sheer scale of the Fourth Amendment violations disclosed is staggering as was the sternness of the rebuke to the Obama administration delivered by the FISA court which ordinarily approves 99.9 percent of the government’s request for surveillance,” said Rosen. “As of a few minutes ago, however, Bret, the story had not been covered on The Washington Post, New York Times, nor any of the three nightly news broadcasts on the three broadcast networks.”

Baier responded, “Amazing.”

Rich's parents condemned the conspiracy theorists and said that these individuals were exploiting their son's death for political gain, with their spokesperson calling them "sociopaths" and "disgusting". They requested a retraction and apology from Fox News, and sent a cease and desist letter to the investigator Fox News used. The investigator admitted he had no evidence to back up his claims, and Fox News issued a retraction.

I think the bloody head was in terrible taste and went too far in suggesting assassination of the president.

I'm betting he fell asleep mid-tweet.

And somehow his finger hit the 'submit' button as he was dropping his phone or something.

You have a theory?
