IF I was to state---which I am NOT doing, Agent Mike---that "the only good Donald Trump is a DEAD

Donald Trump", I would fully expect to be at least interviewed, if not taken for a ride in the back of a government vehicle, rather promptly. I would also, of course, expect to get tombstoned from DU.

Yet, there is virtually no consequence beyond the usual tsk-tsking and head shaking when Trump retweets some yahoo's declaration that " the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat". And, to the knee-jerk and utterly ridiculous response by the bleach-drinkers that "he didn't SAY it, he ONLY retweeted it", I ask "are you really that stupid or do you just hope everyone else is?"

Retweeting is Trump's version of a Limbaugh fan's "ditto". It's a lazy way to say "here's what I think". There is no "only" in front of "retweeted".

I'm sure this evening's news will be clogged by Republicans demanding air time to denounce Trump's cowardly retweeted threat---or---- mebbenot.

...in the "The only good _______ is a dead _______." genre. After all, Trump just legitimized all of them.

On edit: Waves hi to Agent Mike who is probably following all these threads.
