Ex-president Donald Trump went long and went off when he spoke on Saturday at the Turning Points Action conference in Tampa, Florida, telling his audience that he was “so off-script” and mowing through a host of grievances and enemies on his list.
“That’s one thing you can’t say about Joe Biden. If he guess off-script it’s a disaster,” said Trump, seemingly acknowledging he was going long and getting off topic before continuing in that vein for over 15 minutes more.
After laying into Democrat Adam Schiff at length, Trump named other enemies such as Republicans Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins before turning his attention to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul Pelosi.
“Where does it stop? Where does it all end?” Trump asked the audience. “It probably doesn’t stop because despite the great outside dangers, our biggest threat remains the sick and sinister and very evil people from within our country.”
“People like crazy Nancy Pelosi — she’s nuts. I’m telling you, she’s a nut job,” said Trump. “I mean, you talk about people in politics. Look at her husband. Every time something happens, he goes out and he buys stuff. He’s made a lot of money, made $100 million.”
Trump was referencing the fact that Mr. Pelosi recently made a large investment in graphic chips ahead of a vote that would have a direct impact on the stock value. A vote about which one might reasonably deduce the Pelosis would have some certainty on the outcome – and therefore the impact.
“She started off with nothing. And she does have a big wall around her house, by the way, even though she fought us like crazy on the wall,” said Trump, going off-script from being off-script. “But she’s crazy. She’s nuts. I’m telling you, she’s a psycho.”
“I mean, how can they allow a person to make all that money? And the press barely wants to cover it,” Trump continued. “It’s called insider trading. Insider trading. Everything this corrupt establishment is doing to me is all about preserving their power and control over the American people.”
“They’re sick,” he added.

Notorious Troll Rips Signs From Tampa Protesters
I want everyone to notice that the right delights in violence against those who disagree with them. The rabid right wingers rushed into the crowd of protestors and attacked them. To those who say we shouldn’t ever use violence notice the police refused to charge or arrest the right winger who was stealing protestors signs, attacking them, and proud of his violence on the left counter protestors. The same guy was the one I posted who was so over the top sexually screaming at AOC. So yes had I been in that crowd of protestors and one of these assholes tried to take my sign or fucked with me I would react very violently. I would kick the shit out of them or go down trying. I won’t turn and run from these assholes. They used to attack gay people in gangs until gay people started kicking their asses. That needs to happen now. These right wing jerks want to start shit, we on the left have to be willing to hold our own and stop them. Plus this bullshit of the police protecting the rabid right needs to be something everyone should complain about to the police, to the communities, to the people in charge. Hugs
Patch Tampa reports:
While thousands of conservative student activists cheered the words shared by some of the country’s top conservative leaders, including former President Donald Trump, at Turning Point USA’s 2022 Student Action Summit in the Tampa Convention Center, angry words were exchanged between young adults outside.
Hundreds of activists came out for a “Don’t Facist Our Florida” protest organized by Florida For Change, Tampa Bay Community Action Committee and Women’s Voices of SW Florida.
Alex Stein of Dallas, Texas, who broadcasts the program, “Prime Time 99 Alex Stein,” on Rumble and describes himself as a “professional troll,” was escorted from the protest area by police after he grabbed signs away from pro-life demonstrators while shouting, “Baby killers. You guy murder babies.”
Creative Loafing Tampa reports:
As the protest crowd approached, right wingers holding signs that read “Free the J6 Political Prisoners” shouted “keep moving commies!” as the protestors shouted “racist, sexist, anti-gay, Ron DeSantis go away!”
When the protest crowd arrived in front of the convention center, the right wingers entered the crowd and began antagonizing protesters. Self-described “comedian” named Alex Stein also entered the crowd and called all of the protesters “baby killers” as he ripped signs out of women’s hands and pushed his way into the crowd.
TPD removed Stein from the crowd and one officer told him, “You can’t be physically fighting people,” but still refused to take action against him. When asked why TPD just let him go with little incident—even with several witnesses, victims, and video of him instigating—officer D.J. Rhodes noted that protestors were on the walkway.
Last week Stein earned national headlines for sexually harassing AOC on the steps of US Capitol, a stunt which earned him appearances on Fox News and multiple pro-Trump outlets. As you can see by his own clip below, Stein is quite proud of himself.
Why didn’t someone mace him with the pepper spray combined with blue dye? That shit doesn’t come out for weeks. Parade that face on faux and other channels.
This is what DeSantis enables. Keep that in mind as he announces for President.

Pssst, without a permit the walkway is where the protesters must be. There have been several tussles between protesters and police when someone accidently stepped off the walkway and into the street.

The usual suspects who fund everything Far Right Republican.
And Far Right group A raises funds, pays for the Far Right B group leaders to speak, while the B group pays for the A leaders’ speaker fees.
The circle of life.
Another example of a right winger who goes on air belching outrage over cancel culture leftists, who passes by peaceful progressive demonstrations and grabs signs and violently assaults people.
Nazis Wave Swastikas At FL Turning Point USA Event
They are here, and it is clear they support the right wing maga candidate DeathSantis. These Nazis and racist are supported by the Republican party and over 100 republicans in the House of Representatives voted against investigating and removing Nazis out of the military. These republicans in elected office protect white supremacist Nazis. Why? Because they have the same fascist goals, they hate the same minorities, they want an authoritarian government that lets them rule over those they look down on. These are people that think Hitler had it right, and that South Africa’s apartheid was a good thing. You want to keep a free country, a democracy, then we had better vote in every democrat possible and vote out all the republicans. Hugs
The Tampa Bay Times reports:
Calling it “an indefensible act of hatred,” the Florida Holocaust Museum sharply condemned demonstrations at the Tampa Convention Center where a group of neo-fascists waved flags with swastikas outside Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit.
Inside the summit, Turning Point USA’s founder Charlie Kirk told a cheering crowd that there were 5,000 people in attendance. Kirk called Democrats the “invading, occupying force” in the U.S. and encouraged attendees to have lots of children to “outbreed” liberals.
Creative Loafing Tampa reports:
The group distributed flyers, one of which said “every single aspect of abortion is Jewish.” The flyers say they were distributed by the Goyim Defense League, which the anti-defamation league describes as an extremist terrorist organization that was responsible for at least 74 anti-semitic propaganda incidents in 2021.
Turning Point spokesperson Andrew Kolvet told CL that TPUSA had no idea who the Nazi groups were or why they turned up outside the convention.
Florida has seen a rise in fascist activity in recent months. In Orlando, the Nazi group Atomwaffen assaulted civilians during a demonstration, and a neo-Nazi group made a bomb threat in Daytona Beach.
As they always do, Trump cultists are busy on social media claiming that the Nazis were planted by the FBI to make them look bad.
It’s funny when Republicans don’t think the Nazis know their audience.
Little did I ever think I would live to see the day that this garbage would be on the rise again and marching in our streets. Have we learned nothing from history?
Gustav2 K Elmquist • 5 minutes ago
Some people are not taught an accurate history, some people never paid attention in history class, and some people are just Nazi scum.
This IS the republican party, not a fringe element, but the core of the republican base. Even anti-trump republicans still support the party, just not trump as the messenger.

Chicago’s ABC affiliate reports:
A man has been arrested after UpRising Bakery was vandalized and its family-friendly drag show, set for Saturday, was canceled, Lake in the Hills police said.
A the northwest suburban bakery’s owner said she canceled the event after someone broke the business’ windows and spray-painted slurs on its walls overnight Saturday.

Read the full article. There’s much more.
In addition to the groups named below, I’m betting @LibsOfTikTok had a hand in this.
Let me go out on a limb here and say I bet he is a trumpanzee and member of some fringe white supremacy group.
All lgbt and lgbt-friendly businesses need to install cams. They aren’t that expensive any more, and these kinds of attacks are going to become more and more common.

Nan made a very great point I feel needs more exposure.
Nan added a comment to one of my posts. I love comments. And her comment was so spot on I wanted to highlight it and give it a post of its own. Below is Nan’s comment and my response. Best wishes and Hugs.

Hello Nan. You are so correct it hurts. They are obsessed with sex, and the kind of sex people with the same sex organs maybe having. I keep saying that these people think of same sex action more than we gay people do. Nan sorry to be explicit / suggestive, but I need to make the point. You walk through a store, and you see two guys or two girls walking together, they may be sharing a shopping cart. What do you think? Real first impressions. Maybe how they look or act, how they are dressed or what might be their interest or in their basket? If like most of us, you just navigate by them without giving them much thought. But that is not how these bigots are being trained to think. They come on two men like Ron and I shopping, or two women and they are indoctrinated to immediately wonder about our sex life. That is sick, but all these people are obsessed with what we may do sexually or in bed with our private parts.
In years past thankfully in the past, when people would learn Ron and I were gay we would be asked … So which one of you is the woman? WTF? Really that is what gets you going to know what we did with our parts? But yes that was the constant go to of the right wing haters … they put their penis in the other persons butt, or in their mouth oh my gods!!! That was the drive behind sodomy laws. But then someone figured out that hey, straight couples do that also. Oh shit, so deep republican states started rewriting the laws to say that oral and butt sex between straight couples were legal but oral and butt sex between same sex guys was illegal. That was what got Lawrence in Texas made an illegal law by SCOTUS, it applied to only man on man but exempted man on woman sex of the same type.
So you are very correct, that is what they are going after. It started now with abortion. Matt Walsh a prominent right winger said if a woman is not willing and ready to have a baby, they shouldn’t have sex! No matter what. In his mind (I posted that earlier) if a woman wants / allows sex with vagina and penis they must be willing to have a baby. WTF. That disregards the feelings and pleasures of the act and of women. This what it is all about, denying women any sexual pleasure. Notice he doesn’t attack the man who is involved does he? It is all about if a woman has sex for any reason even rape, she must accept the risk of being pregnant. Now it is any contraception they are going after. Again, these things do not affect the males in this act, only the females. Why are these same law makers not screaming about increasing penalties on rape or increasing funds for processing rape kits? What does this have to do with the topic of the post, it all comes down to sex.
Why is it trans women the right wants to talk about. They seem unconcerned about trans men. It all goes back to the right wings obsession with what is between a person’s legs and what they are doing with them. Women to the right wing are not important, so what if they want to claim they are men, the right laughs it off. But a man with that grand valuable penis saying they are a woman scares the crap out of them. It impacts their view of masculinity. Why is this important? Remember Josh Hawley the fist in the air guy who ran away from the Jan 6th rioters? He wrote a book and is campaigning on men are not masculine enough.
Because that is how they view gay sex. They don’t see it as a wonderful loving giving event of two people who adore each other and who want to give pleasure to each of them. They see it as a conquest, an act of submission or even violence. One lessor male submitting to the more dominate male who uses them. Even as I typed that sentence, I cringed thinking of so many right wingers getting off on it. They see the males in a gay relationship in the view of one alpha top having his way with his … “woman”. And that is how these people see their relationship with their wives and girlfriends. They are having their way with them. That is so scary to me. Really it is all about the male’s pleasure with them. They have no clue about how it can be about both or all people’s pleasure.
One last thing. I don’t know if they are terrified if they don’t please their female partners enough or even try. I don’t know if they are jealous of the sexual relationships of same sex couples. What I do know is it is on their minds constantly is that women might not need them. Ted Cruz when he was AG in Texas tried to make dildos illegal. WTF. Really? Was his wife so disappointed in him in bed she resorted to them? But this is the mindset of the Republican radical right, they want to control everything you do with the parts of you below the waist.
Sorry for the graphic parts but it is important to understand just how over the top and controlling the republicans want to be. Any woman wanting to cross state lines in a red state will have to provide an immediate pee test verification she is not pregnant. Hugs

$10K bond for man arrested after UpRising Bakery vandalized, drag show canceled, police say
https://abc7chicago.com/uprising-bakery-drag-show-lake-in-the-hills-police-department/12068780/
This is their goal. To shut them down. They don’t care they get arrested; they use it as a badge of honor. This is domestic terrorism. This is their way of taking the LGBTQ+ / Drag queen story hours out of the community and public view. God damn it this has to stop. This is religious terrorism. It ignores the majority that like and approve of these events for their kids. But what place will they hold them in when those places know this will happen or worse these haters will storm the event and the police will not protect them. Is this a land of the free or a fucken theocracy of the rabid right. Where is this great right of freedom the right wing haters want to claim all of us have? Hugs
At the northwest suburban bakery’s owner said she canceled the event after someone broke the business’ windows and spray-painted slurs on its walls overnight Saturday.

Collins’ bond was set at $10,000 and he remains in custody, police said.
The bakery had been experiencing a flurry of online and in-person backlash against the business hosting it.
Since announcing the drag show for all ages, UpRising Bakery and Cafe owner Corinna Sac said she received numerous threats.
“One morning I came in and there was a bag of feces outside. There was a letter taped to the door that said pedophiles work here,” Sac said, recounting just some of the hateful incidents of the past few weeks.
“Someone came in, did a perimeter walk around our cafe, commented on how disgusting and dirty it was, and then spit on our case,” she said recounting another incident.
The baker and mother of two was shocked by the hostility toward her and her business in person and online after she posted about a drag show event she planned to host there this weekend.
“To take a really fun time, like a drag show, and then make it more family-friendly to involve everyone and anyone,” she said.
Now, the Lake in the Hills Police became involved, investigating the threats and working closely with Sac amid potential protests from anti-LGBTQ+ groups this weekend.
“The department will be taking a zero-tolerance approach for those individuals who choose to attend with plans to engage in acts of violence or criminal activity,” police said.
“If this is the hill that we die on, I’m gonna die loud and proud because we’ve always fought and said equality for everyone,” Sac said.
When she still planned for the show to go on, Sac said any accusation of targeting children is completely false.
“We were not targeting kids. We were opening it up to families who felt like (the drag show) was OK for their kids,” she said.
While she said she’s lost customers, Sac is gaining new ones, like Carol White.
“I have a grandson who just came out as trans. He’s 18, and I support him and I support this business. We are gonna be regulars at this restaurant,” White said.
“I just felt so right in my soul, like, standing up to all the online stuff and not letting it bring us down,” Sac said.
Sac has been in regular contact with Lake in the Hills Police. They’ve even added new cameras at the front and back of the property after the in-person harassment. They are also patrolling the property once an hour.
In addition to the groups named below, I’m betting @LibsOfTikTok had a hand in this.

Scottie's Playtime 
I think you know in your heart of hearts, Scottie, that it’s not the marriage that they’re upset about. It’s the relationship of two individuals that, in their opinion, should not exist. The resistance to marriage is just a tool to express their thwarted religious viewpoint.
