Mitt Romney articulating my views much better than I can.

I will dispense for now from discussion of the moral character of the president's Charlottesville statements. Whether he intended to or not, what he communicated caused racists to rejoice, minorities to weep, and the vast heart of America to mourn. His apologists strain to explain that he didn't mean what we heard. But what we heard is now the reality, and unless it is addressed by the president as such, with unprecedented candor and strength, there may commence an unraveling of our national fabric.

The leaders of our branches of military service have spoken immediately and forcefully, repudiating the implications of the president's words. Why? In part because the morale and commitment of our forces--made up and sustained by men and women of all races--could be in the balance. Our allies around the world are stunned and our enemies celebrate; America's ability to help secure a peaceful and prosperous world is diminished. And who would want to come to the aid of a country they perceive as racist if ever the need were to arise, as it did after 9/11?

In homes across the nation, children are asking their parents what this means. Jews, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims are as much a part of America as whites and Protestants. But today they wonder. Where might this lead? To bitterness and tears, or perhaps to anger and violence?

The potential consequences are severe in the extreme. Accordingly, the president must take remedial action in the extreme. He should address the American people, acknowledge that he was wrong, apologize. State forcefully and unequivocally that racists are 100% to blame for the murder and violence in Charlottesville. Testify that there is no conceivable comparison or moral equivalency between the Nazis--who brutally murdered millions of Jews and who hundreds of thousands of Americans gave their lives to defeat--and the counter-protestors who were outraged to see fools parading the Nazi flag, Nazi armband and Nazi salute. And once and for all, he must definitively repudiate the support of David Duke and his ilk and call for every American to banish racists and haters from any and every association.

This is a defining moment for President Trump. But much more than that, it is a moment that will define America in the hearts of our children. They are watching, our soldiers are watching, the world is watching. Mr. President, act now for the good of the country.

Many of the comments on this FB post are the very reasons Trump (if he truly cared about the well-being of the country) should take Romney's suggestions to heart and do as he suggests.


*on a side note....noticed as I browsed the comments section that some of the people posting there are my FB friends. :Blink:

As I mentioned to Bruce, while unpredictability can be frightening in everyday environments, in geopolitical or military issues it can become a strength in ensuring any opponent or even ally are kept on the back foot. Kim used his unpredictability to largely get his way, but coming up against another vastly stronger, unpredictable, opponent has made NK and China think again.....

Unpredictability could be fine in a rational, insightful person.

Poll numbers are notoriously a bit erratic but those taken the last week seem to suggest an uptick in his popularity with his base which would fit with those facebook comments...

And some Friday humour

What has this got to do with Democrats?

This is a news reporter stating fact about the imbecile in charge of the US right now. It has nothing to do with either party or their accomplishments.

She is listing the many reasons (in a 4 week span) Trump has gone over the top.

Any reason to take a pop at the left right? You sound like one of his supporters, pathetic. Blame the left as always even when its not about them

You contradict yourself so much its unbelievable. Just admit your a fan of Trump and his alternative republican standards because hes pro Brexit and the UK right?

Nothing mate. It is based on the film 'the life of Brian' and the discussion between the various Judean Peoples Front and the Front of Judean People or whoever, with the immortal strap line "what have the Romans ever done for us"......it was a deliberate joke, a bit of humour, that some may well have understood....I bet you feel a bit silly now for having a pop....
