Maybe someone will burn down all of Hillarys houses when no one is in them and just like with Trumps Star I will not care because no one was hurt so fuck Hillary and her houses. ---

I’ve always felt that conservatives are far more politically and ideologically tolerant than liberals. Yeah they will complain about liberal positions and people all the time and often without proof, but they don’t shout them down or resort to violence nearly as much as liberals seem to. Conservatives understand the liberal viewpoints (because many used to be liberals), they just don’t agree with them. Liberals think conservatives are hellspawn demons or something. ---

Don’t ASSUME a particular group is doing these nasty things to Trump’s star/campaign office, etc… In the past some people/groups have done nasty things to themselves in an attempt to gain sympathy! So keep an open mind as to who did this! ---

> [@friedo](#): > > You have to be “nominated” but that almost always means your agency sending a nomination to the Walk of Fame people. Then if they approve your nomination, you have to agree to personally attend the ceremony (unless you’re dead) and pay $30,000 for the tile to be made (but usually your agency or studio foots the bill.) > > There are requirements for who is allowed to have a star; DJT has been on TV forever, though, and it’s exactly the kind of self-promotion he covets. IIRC they approve about 10% of the nominations they get each year. So how many miles long is this Walk of Fame by now? ---
