The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office is considering charging Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump with inciting a riot after violence broke out during a Trump rally in Fayetteville last Wednesday, Sheriff's Office lawyer Ronnie Mitchell said.....

God, this would probably harden Trump's support even more. He would spin it as the liberal machine trying to take him down and impede the "progress" him/his supporters are making.

That in itself might actually start riots.

Seriously?!? The Sheriff of Fayetteville, NC is the "Liberal Machine". The city that hasn't voted for anyone but Republicans since the 1976 Presidential Elections?

The only thing missing is the raised arm salute - today's photo from a Trump campaign event in Tampa:

Dude the 'liberal machine' part was a joke. It's similar to how conservatives constantly blame the "liberal media" despite Republicans having a massively aggressive propaganda appartus called Fox News and talk radio.

Point is, it doesn't matter who did it or what ideology they are even, because Trump lies so, sooo much and his supporters eat it up so willingly, that he can spin it that way with ease.

Got it - I was a bit slow on the uptake there!

No problemo.

Is that image you posted of the Trumpizis a spoof/fake or is that real? I mean it's so obvious what they are doing that it's hard to believe those guys are actually hanging out at his rallies so openly. That really is the last thing he should want his supporters doing.

It was posted in The Guardian's live election stream - they are generally legit - you can look for yourself:
