Update: Alliance for American Manufacturing’s Scott Paul stepped down from Trump’s council on Tuesday, Aug. 15.
Corporate executives who lined up to advise President Trump, embracing his pro-polluter, deregulatory and anti-tax policies while ignoring other elements of his outrageous conduct and policy agenda, are having second thoughts.
So far, three corporate executives (out of a total of 48) and a trade group exec have resigned from Trump’s advisory councils after the president shamefully delayed his condemnation of white supremacist violence after neo-fascist groups marched on Charlottesville, Va., and a marcher from Ohio allegedly drove a car into a crowd of peaceful demonstrators, killing Heather Heyer, an anti-racist activist, and injuring over a dozen others.
The remaining 45 executives are sticking with Trump.

I'm not so sure that was a confederate monument more like a war memorial for the boys that wore gray.
The boys in grey? The confederate army wore grey. Good, no more monuments honoring losers. Tear them all down, can't happen fast enough.dignin said:"There is never moral equivalence between Nazis and people who are against Nazis because one side are Nazis. To say that violence against Nazis is the same as violence by Nazis is saying it wouldn't have mattered who won the second world war." -Matt Haig
"Bothsideism" is a bullshit paradigm invented by bullies in an effort to claim they are victimized by those who stand up to their bullying. Self defence isn't bullying. Defending someone else from attack isn't bullying.
This is why we can't fall for this garbage Trumpism of "both sides are wrong". Because ONE side is simply fighting for their right to exist, their rights under the law. And the other side is fighting to retain omnipotent white dude power that should've never existed in the first place.
Any suggestion that fighting Nazis with violence makes us guilty is the same as saying that WWII was about bullying Nazis.

Stop defending Nazis

Wow. Not very presidential. After a woman was killed by a car this weekend.
Here is the background on it. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/aug/15/trump-retweets-alt-right-provocateur-after-condemning-white-supremacists0 -
Maybe he should act with a little more decorum and not an internet troll?
He talks of "making america great again"... at what point did "America" have this kind of thin-skinned child-like behavior from a President?
The image itself doesn't bother me so much... it is that the President of the United States needs to be above "re-tweeting" that. Try being profound. Try showing some sign of leadership. Try doing something.0 -

We get your point. You're outraged. Are you trying to get others as outraged as you as well? You post more pictures of Nazis symbols and white supremacists than the press. It feels like we are actually at a protest.0 -
