    Can we ban the Daily Beast? They are nothing but clickbait. Their headlines are always hyperbole.

    In this case, some protesters interrupted Trump’s speech. He stood quietly, waited for the protesters to be escorted out, then pursed his lips and said “That was very efficient … Now, back to Steve (the man he was praising before the interruption.”

    I don’t like Trump. He should be in prison for many reasons. We don’t need lies and hyperbole polluting the narrative. He does enough awful things without making shit up.

    Fuck the Daily Beast. They’re as bad as anything on the right.

      I’ve decided I won’t click on or upvote any more articles whose headlines contain the words “melts down,” “destroys,” “fumes,” “implodes,” etc. unless someone literally did implode, melt, emit fumes, or get destroyed. That pretty much leaves out Daily Beast.

      Last time I saw something like this happening, people chanting in front of Trump, he smiled and said nothing, so unaffected the next week he was coordinating for those protestors to be jailed.

      these stunts can be silly, but they do impact politiciams
