[QUOTE="LotusBud, post: 1195321, member: 1123"] “In my home, they’re persecuting people for their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. That’s happening now,” Springsteen said, echoing what he’d spoken about at his May 14 show. “In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death. That’s happening now. In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers.” Springsteen continued, “They are removing residents off American streets without due process of law and deploying them to foreign detention centers as prisoners.

Wow, that's genius, Trump. Real stable fucking genius. [/QUOTE]
