And then there would be a civil war. So as much as I despise this ****nugget, let's hope that doesn't happen
I’m thinking that if anyone takes him out, it’ll be one of “his people”, since they’re the ones with the guns and they’re the ones who’ve been inspired by his rhetoric of violence. So civil war may not be the outcome.
 
Meanwhile in mid-Michigan:


I just want to add that he violated the content-neutral rule prohibiting members of the public approaching the panel. As I understand it he was removed, detained, and given a misdemeanor citation for "disturbing assembly" (he broke a rule, not the law). It was a fantastic example of civil disobedience. He was also fired from his school coaching job, which I gather he expected. Good for him.
 
No freedom of speech?
See above.

Edit: The rule is there ostensibly to protect the panel. I don't expect he intended to do any harm and the whole point was to make a display of violating the rule itself rather than anyone's rights. He maybe could have filibustered (there are likely content-neutral rules restricting duration which are to the benefit of the entire public) and been removed, but I don't think he would have made the same point and it could just come off as discourteous to other members of the public.

LOL. All those wonderful things must be preventing 10 trans women from competing in sports.


"Nobody that I've talked to understood the devastation that having this administration in office would do to our lives," Piggott, 47, told Reuters in an interview, saying she would not have supported Trump if she knew then what she knows now.
"As much as I think that President Trump is doing wonderful things for the country in some regards, I don't understand this at all," she said.

While unstated, the rest of the thought is that "devastation is absolutely fine in THEIR lives".

You hear it in the interview...

 
I believe that happened in California, not mid-Michigan. There isn't a town hall that looks that nice in mid-Michigan outside maybe Lansing and even then, Lansing is pretty blue.
My bad. The YouTube channel is a Michigan Fox affiliate and I didn'tread the video description..
