Mayor bans Trump ‘until we fully understand the dangerous threat posed by all Trumps’
Source: Washington Post
A Florida mayor responded to Donald Trump's proposed ban on Muslims entering the country by issuing a tongue-and-cheek ban of his own on the Republican presidential front-runner himself.
"I am hereby barring Donald Trump from entering St. Petersburg until we fully understand the dangerous threat posed by all Trumps," St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman tweeted Monday.
Kriseman, a Democrat, told the Tampa Bay Times that he was kidding around with the tweet, which spread quickly on social media. By Tuesday morning, it had been retweeted more than 7,000 times, and liked more than 9,000 times.
"You make a ridiculous statement, so you answer with a ridiculous statement," Kriseman told the newspaper. "There are some people who thought I was seriously going to ban Donald Trump from St. Petersburg, and that's obviously not something I would try to do. But his statement was kind of ridiculous, so I thought that it deserved an equal response."

Maybe we need a government database to register all Trumps and keep an eye on them. I don't know, but there's something going on there, there's just a huuge amount of hate, and we need to do whatever is necessary to protect ourselves.

(32,723 posts)Rachael Maddow questions if he's serious.
It's like he started a vanity campaign but didn't REALLY want the job but is now trapped so he's trying to throw the election.
He is running a real risk at this point of having his name stripped from his buildings after he dies.
If he keep it up he'll have to be buried in secret so his grave isn't violated.

After I consume vast quantities of beer, of course. I predict that the line of others awaiting the same privilege will be long, indeed.

But then, Billy Joel said only the good die young, so I've probably got plenty of time.

(953 posts)Hate and intolerance toward liberals has been evident since at least 2000.
Trump's Muslim intolerance is just an extension of a rigid way of thinking.
The right wingers eat it up, they are very self-righteous.

(6,335 posts)"The Brain" Rove and his Reichwing henchmen ilk are the ones that have built up Reagan worship and created the liberal and government bashing environment that has made all this possible. Right now Rove and his henchmen are going crazy about Trump and I love it. They deserve it. I hope Trump wins the nomin. or better splits their party.
