That's good stuff.

Minor point: If he actually said it, Trump was wrong about the counter-protesters not having permits. One of the deciding factors in the judge's decision to keep the neo-Nazi march at the downtown location was specifically because the town tried to revoke the neo-Nazi permit but did not revoke the permits of the counter-protesters. This constituted evidence, as the ACLU argued and the judge agreed with, that the town was biased against the content of the march (i.e., the hateful message) rather than revoking the permit for safety issues; since if it were solely a safety issue, the town would have revoked all permits--both counter-protesters and neo-Nazi.

Yep he said it alright.

He probably read that on David Dukes twitter or something and so said it out loud, like no one would check. I bet someone would have corrected him then and there but seen as this was an impromptu piece of madness from him it caught the press of guard also. They had many questions for him that's for sure haha!!
 
Impeachment really doesn't fix anything...may make it worse as this guy can appear normal



Maybe Trump keeps threatening to leave him in a room with women who are not his wife if he is not loyal to him haha!! This guy is a douche pure and simple.

Of the eight historians we checked with, all were at least skeptical that what Trump said actually happened, and some expressed disbelief even more forcefully than that. The only evidence of something approximating what Trump said stems from one letter documenting a different scenario written by a veteran more than a half century after the fact.

Perhaps more important, the historians took issue with Trump’s suggestion that the tactic -- if it was even used at all -- actually worked to end tensions, noting that unrest persisted for years. In all, Trump’s claim is ridiculous, so we rate it Pants on Fire.
 
Part of his response to Barcelona



This is what he's on about..

"They were having terrorism problems, just like we do," Trump said, according to an account in the Washington Post. "And he caught 50 terrorists who did tremendous damage and killed many people. And he took the 50 terrorists, and he took 50 men and he dipped 50 bullets in pigs’ blood — you heard that, right? He took 50 bullets, and he dipped them in pigs’ blood. And he had his men load his rifles, and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said: You go back to your people, and you tell them what happened. And for 25 years, there wasn’t a problem. Okay? Twenty-five years, there wasn’t a problem."
 
I'm glad you agree that Trump is sexist and xenophobic (and for the record Bill Clinton's actions in the WH were disgusting). As to him making fun of the disabled see here. As to Trump's racism...well no, he obviously hasn't burned a cross and worn a white hood. But here's what he's done along those lines:
--he has called all Mexicans rapists
--he's referred to black people in Baltimore as Thugs
--he's appointed Jeff Sessions, who was denied a Federal Judge position due to comments such as calling a white civil rights lawyer a "race traitor" and making sympathetic jokes about the KKK
--he's appointed Steve Bannon, who has claimed Briebart was the platform of the alt-right
--he's claimed a judge was biased due to being "Mexican"
--he's attacked the Muslim parents of US Army officer who was KIA
--he's been sued by the Justice Department for not renting to black people
--he said that quotes attributed to him--that black people were inherently lazy, that black people shouldn't be counting his Casino money--were "probably true"
--he questioned whether Obama was an American
--he said of the Pequots, that they "don't look like Indians to me..."
--he condoned the beating of a BLM supporter, saying "Maybe [the protester] should have been roughed up"
--when two men were convicted of beating up a homeless Latino and citing Trump as their inspiration, Trump said in response to these attacks, “I will say that people who are following me are very passionate...They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”

And on and on and on. I'm no longer going to impute any negative characteristics on you...I'll let you make the call on the above.

In my view there's a big difference between saying something like "I've no use for Hilary Clinton" or "I dislike Obama"...those are valid opinions. I have real trouble with folks making comparisons, as you did, about the "better of two evils". The problem is that things like racism, sexism, xenophobia are not political issues (despite the alt-right trying to make it so), they are things all functioning members of society should fight against. But when one throws their support behind Trump or makes comparisons between Trump and others, as you did, it indicates that one's standards of comparison--Trump's record of racism, sexism, xenophobia, mocking the disabled--is the measure through which one judges others as inferior. That's a weird way to move through life since the standards are at the very bottom of the barrel. One can only go up in standards of decency, not down. So such comparisons are going to generate a huge burden on the shoulder's of Trump supporters in terms of being judged as championing those bottom-of-the-barrel standards; after all, they are throwing their weight behind a candidate who's horrific track-record regarding basic human values and constructive interactions is morally indefensible.

I'll get back to you after the match.....
 
you think Trump not fully denouncing white supremacists is not a real transgression?

He's also dealing with a potential nuclear threat from North Korea, so in comparison it is nothing, and I'm sure will be treated accordingly. You can argue this point and show your PC heart, but keeping millions alive may be regarded as slightly more important.......

That is a truly awful statement.

I don't think it a particularly high bar for a President to be able to effectively denounce Nazi's whilst dealing with other issues, even serious ones like North Korea.

He has been at the podium 3 times since last Saturday and all 3 times he has spoken of the events of last weekend and your saying he had no opportunity since then to denounce them?

Of course he technically did Monday but he was forced to read a teleprompter and quickly walk it back the other day in that rant fest of a conference.

Lets not forget all of the other meaningless and attack tweets hes made since last Saturday.

It takes 30 seconds of typing or about 20 seconds of actual speak to say in his own words "I disapprove of fascist, racist white supremacists and what they did is wrong and not tolerated"

Or some form of the same jargon.
