Trumpito walking out of the room at the end of Saturday's Charlottesville/VA statement while ignoring reporters questions about the Alt-Right and White Nationalists, and his deafening silence yesterday, and now his statements today should realistically sink this presidency.
If the fucking North Korean missile launch doesn't distract us. You know the one they said they were going to do tomorrow, on August 15th.
Let's see 36 hours no mention from the President of the Nazi white supremacist group's violence. On the the other hand in less than an hour he calls out the CEO of Merck an African American businessman.
What do think those white supremacists are thinking or feeling today?
For me I think they're saying the MFing President has our backs.....high fives.
Peace
Here is what I was referring to in a post yesterday about "radical Islamic terror" and hypocrisy. Trump is famous for asking Obama and whoever else, to condemn radical islamic terror(ism), Im para-phasing, how can you defeat it if you cant even say it. Trump campaigned on that phrase, saying it over and over. How stupid is it to think that saying radical islamic terror will somehow help solve it? Terrorists with their ears to Obama are suddently going to stop plowing into crowds and blowing up nightclubs if/when Obama says the words "radical islamic terror". Since charlottesville, everyone and their brother wants Trump to condemn specifically Nazis and the KKK because Im guessing by specifically saying KKK and Nazi Trump will suddenly rip the hate from there hearts and minds and they will trade in their Nazi flags for rainbow ones. It completely stupid on all sides. Its this a form of symptom blaming and not problem solving. I dont know how to stop racism, you cant ignore but you cant suppress their speech either.
Is racism all of a sudden a threat to our democracy? Should we take to the streets to raise awareness that white supremacists are racist? Should we protest that our president didnt condemn violence enough, by mentioning Nazis and the KKK?
Any comment from Ben Carson regarding Charlottesville? Can someone go wake him up and ask him what is like working for a racist, white nationalist? Please.
I know you would prefer to have a different President but now you've gone from disagreeing with President Trump to he's a white nationalist?
Isn't it obvious?
Ok. So if someone disagrees with your stance what do you consider them.
Do you actually pay attention or understand what it is that you write? Jeez!
Peace
I do yes. People are starting to shut down any side of discussion on here until others agree with their stance. There is some serious suppression going on.
There is a reason for that: the recent incident is not up for discussion. Nazis and nazi supporters do not have a voice and never should have a voice.
Who decides who can and cant have a voice? Sounds facist-y to me
You're missing the point TB. Who is supporting Nazis on here? No one. There are people on here that perceive others that do and shout at them and say their opinions and thoughts don't count. As I said Nazis and their supporters should never have a voice but just to be a normal guy and get labelled as one because I'm not going around calling everyone a Nazi is crazy.
Actually you are the one missing the point.
The emboldened nazis strutted their stuff on full display. They even killed someone.
The concerned citizens of the US expected their country's leader to, at a minimum, speak to their vile nature (let alone mobilize against them). But, in typical fashion, Trump failed again: speaking vaguely to violence and essentially that both sides need to get along.
There is no 'both sides' here. There is one side that is good and there is one side that is evil. Trump couldn't speak against the 'evil' side because that side made up a decent percentage of his 'base'. That is scary... when the leader of the US is indebted to the nazis for their support of him.

Common sense tells us what the limitations are for free speech. When speech is harmful... the brakes need to be applied.
Pedophiles cannot speak to the pleasures of children. They don't get a voice. Rapists cannot speak to women deserving rape because they wear revealing clothing. They don't get a voice. Nazis cannot speak to white supremacy because dark people are mud people. They don't get a voice.

Just your best guess, how many Nazi votes do you think Trump received 2016? Do you think the Nazi vote pushed him over in the Nazi populated states?

I'll lump nazis and racists together (with racists- the 'moderate' or 'mild' nazis- as a much more significant populace).
40-50 % of his voters. 20-30% of his voters being the moronic variety. 20-30% of his voters being the greedy variety.

Idebted? Why would he want to address the alt right Nazi stuff. They would love nothing more than that. If he came out condemning it would probably make the riots worse. All those "supporter Nazis" would take to the streets in droves and the counter protesters would as well leading to more violence. And the radlibs would shout even louder saying it is Trumps fault. President Trump is not giving a voice to it at all which is what people want and he is still a monster.

how so? if someone is indebted for support it must be of some value. Im asking for the value of the Nazi vote to Trump.

your point is completely wrong though. Free speech defends the right to speech we don't like as much as the speech we do like. In the US yes those assholes have to right to speak and assemble. it's a basic tenet of our democracy. yes their message is 100% vile and disgusting, but they do have a right to promote that message. If not then who decides what speech is ok and what speech is harmful to use your term? hell just look at social media and how often someone is offended by pretty much everything these days. do you really want to go down that path where we start limiting speech by who is offended by it?

I am saying limit speech for the damages such speech might incur.
BTW, the bands 2013 Charlottesville concert is one of my favorite things about this band. How about you PJFan?
I refuse to hand that over to those douchebags.
Well no shit. I don't want to be around Nazis no matter the location. They still are out there no matter how much you ignore them is what I am saying. Every now and then you will run into them. It's impossible not to they have to go somewhere. This time it happened to be Charlottesville. The location will be different next time.

Replace 'liberal' with 'decent human being' and then I think you have got it right.
I'm not sure who disagrees with this. Let's name some groups known for intimidation through violence: KKK Antifa Nazis BLM ISIS etc... They should all be named as terrorist organizations.

I dont know how to stop racism, you cant ignore but you cant suppress their speech either.
Is racism all of a sudden a threat to our democracy? Should we take to the streets to raise awareness that white supremacists are racist? Should we protest that our president didnt condemn violence enough, by mentioning Nazis and the KKK?
The emboldened nazis strutted their stuff on full display. They even killed someone.
The concerned citizens of the US expected their country's leader to, at a minimum, speak to their vile nature (let alone mobilize against them). But, in typical fashion, Trump failed again: speaking vaguely to violence and essentially that both sides need to get along.
There is no 'both sides' here. There is one side that is good and there is one side that is evil. Trump couldn't speak against the 'evil' side because that side made up a decent percentage of his 'base'. That is scary... when the leader of the US is indebted to the nazis for their support of him.

Pedophiles cannot speak to the pleasures of children. They don't get a voice.
Rapists cannot speak to women deserving rape because they wear revealing clothing. They don't get a voice.
Nazis cannot speak to white supremacy because dark people are mud people. They don't get a voice.
Do you get the point?
Just your best guess, how many Nazi votes do you think Trump received 2016? Do you think the Nazi vote pushed him over in the Nazi populated states?
40-50 % of his voters.
20-30% of his voters being the moronic variety.
20-30% of his voters being the greedy variety.
Why would he want to address the alt right Nazi stuff. They would love nothing more than that. If he came out condemning it would probably make the riots worse. All those "supporter Nazis" would take to the streets in droves and the counter protesters would as well leading to more violence. And the radlibs would shout even louder saying it is Trumps fault. President Trump is not giving a voice to it at all which is what people want and he is still a monster.

I refuse to hand that over to those douchebags.
Freedom to intimidate, no.
You speak here as if one is acceptable and one isn't.
I am saying limit speech for the damages such speech might incur.
Well no shit. I don't want to be around Nazis no matter the location. They still are out there no matter how much you ignore them is what I am saying. Every now and then you will run into them. It's impossible not to they have to go somewhere. This time it happened to be Charlottesville. The location will be different next time.
But in this case and others should speech that incites violence and hate be protected?
KKK
Antifa
Nazis
BLM
ISIS
etc...
They should all be named as terrorist organizations.
