    Trump’s response to the violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., has become the biggest controversy to date of his presidency.
    Interesting outlook
    1. Charlottesville response
    2. Trump/Putin Collusion
    3. Comey firing
    4. Trump associates revolving door


    not surprising, given that the optics of it are that there is a white supremacist in the white house. (I don't think so, but many seem to view it as such). 
    Almost equivalent to the "Muslim terrorists" in the White House before
    the difference being there was zero evidence, in actions or circumstance, to suggest Obama was a muslim terrrorist. Trump a racist bigot? plenty of evidence to support that.

    so far the only racist evidence presented to me is a 1975 tenant applicants lawsuit

    Many thought that since he refused to denounce "radical Islamic terrorism" that he was being sympathetic.  I don't know that there is any other actual evidence that Trump is a white supremacist or Nazi.

    That's the thing with racism, we can say it isn't unless we see court of law style proof. Statements laden with racism and policies based on prejudice can be turned into something else with mental gymnastics. trump saying that he probably said "laziness is a trait in blacks" will be labelled hearsay. That he attributes his success to genetics can be labelled as him being stupid. When he maintained that the Central Park Five were guilty despite facts against it, we can say he's stubborn.

    Well Trump isn't a Nazi and nobody has EVER said that he is. Not all racists are Nazis you know.
    Trump has done a ton of things to show that he is sympathetic to racists, including fill his cabinet with them, and if you can't think of any examples, I guess you have already forgotten a LOT. What with the rape/druggy statement, the fucking comments about that judge, the Muslim ban, the recounted comments about blacks being lazy and only wanting men wearing yarmulkes counting his money, his stupid idea that well-educated blacks have a big advantage over well-educated whites, the way he refuses to call it terrorism when a white guy did it, they way he insisted on not calling out the white supremacists the way any decent person would have, plus he's a fucking birther. Trump has basically gone above and beyond in terms of showing us that he's racist and sympathetic or indifferent at best when it comes to white nationalists.

    And let us not forget his intense and deep seated misogyny, which is every bit as bad. Actually worse, since he's a sexual predator.

    Ha...people actually believed him last year:

    Presidents have made abrupt foreign policy reversals before, often breaking with campaign pledges when presented with a new set of geopolitical realities. Trump’s reversal stands out not just for the outright vehemence with which he previously argued that America needed to put an end to its 16-year-long war—Trump has called for total US withdrawal from Afghanistan and for handing the country over to an army of mercenaries—but also because of what it says about his foreign policy at large. In the seven months since taking office, Trump has expanded military operations in YemenSyriaIraqSomaliaLibya and, now, Afghanistan. And that’s in addition to an escalated nuclear standoff with North Korea.

    I just saw that Tucker Carlson said Trump staring directly at the sun was maybe the most impressive thing a President has ever done.
    What the fuck.

    And people have the utter fucking gall to talk about the left wing media and fake news and all their catch phrases...

    Mitchie McConnell thinks Trump may not be able to save his presidency

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/22/us/politics/mitch-mcconnell-trump.html

    Now, why would Trump berate, rather than reassure, the kind senator from Kentucky regarding his collusion with Russia, Russia, Russia?

    In a series of tweets this month, Mr. Trump criticized Mr. McConnell publicly, then berated him in a phone call that quickly devolved into a profane shouting match.

    During the call, which Mr. Trump initiated on Aug. 9 from his New Jersey golf club, the president accused Mr. McConnell of bungling the health care issue. He was even more animated about what he intimated was the Senate leader’s refusal to protect him from investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to Republicans briefed on the conversation.


    Oh Jared, dear boy, fetch me some of that sweet tea, I'm feeling a little peaked. And the only Senator I want to talk to is that good 'ol boy Cotton. What do you say, meatloaf for dinner tonight, Jared dear boy?

    I've never heard of this guy before, but he's obviously a total idiot. Or a TV troll. Also, it wasn't met without humour. It was met with great hilarity, lol.

    I didn't see him say anything particularly funny or sharp, but that woman is a damned fool. If BLM knew what was good for them (I have doubts about that - they need a leader badly), they would ban HER from the movement altogether (not that that would be possible even if they wanted to, since they lack the organization it takes to do such a thing).

    Indicative of the tight ship Mueller is running so as not to politicize it. Follow the money from Russia with love and a PTAPE all the way to impeachment.
