FACT CHECK: Mostly true, although 18 protesters were arrested and two police officers reported minor injuries.
Thanks, for a second I thought that I was safe. This entire incident terrifies me, and it is clear that society has completely unraveled. But who can help me???

It's always funny to hear guys like Forge talk about how incompetent govt workers are, as if the private sector is all top notch.
Says the government worker ....

I;ve been employed in the government, private sector, and non-profit sectors, and I haven't seen any significant difference.

Clearly you haven't been paying attention to Trump. We're all basically living in a Charles Bronson movie. Trump alone can deliver us.

Didn't realize that needed to be pink. Thought it was droll enough.

But since you brought it up? Really? You honestly feel that way? You either are low functioning or have worked with the highest functioning government employees ever. (Or conversely the vast majority of my government employee interactions have to have been with the dregs of government employees).

Wow. I read through that link earlier, but just got around to playing the video clips.

Quite the spectacle.

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I am continually astonished at his lack of impulse control and petulance. His very first public appearance with his VP candidate, the morning after the "unifying" convention, and he's beating up on Ted Cruz again. Not Hillary, but the guy who came closest to winning a plurality in the GOP primary. He has no capacity whatsoever to take the high road, or even the sensible road. It's all about winning with him, at any cost. Also astonishing is how people claim to support him for his tell-it-like-it-is approach to politics, yet he won't even own up to his own twitter posts, and lies like a 3rd grader when called out on it. I mean, wow. Wow.

Please don't take this as support for Trump, but isn't he no different than any other candidate with the exception of the fact that he does his dirty work out in the open?

There's nothing melodramatic about that at all- his petulance and immaturity is astonishing.

I have to think that everyone around him did everything in their power to talk him out of that performance, right?

That's quite a big difference though.

After watching Ivanka's performance Friday night, I have to think she's either living on another planet and just drops in for media appearances, or is calling him on the daily telling him to knock it the fuck off, already.

I would vote for her over him in a heartbeat.
