Trump condemns Charlottesville violence but doesn’t single out white nationalists

If I bothered to look maybe I'd find one, maybe not. Maybe that's the point. Trump is losing support, even from the GOP.

 

Can't lose what you never had.

 

He condemned the actions of those who committed violence. No different than Bernie Sanders after the Scalise shooting, and President Obama after the 5 Dallas Police Officers were shot and killed.

Why is Trump held to a higher standard than those prominent politicians? Rhetorical question, of course.

Trump never had the support of the RINO's, which I suspect is a huge reason why he won. Americans are getting sick and tired (many already are) of politics as usual, which is why I was so happy and amused when Trump threatened to make Congress live under Obamacare if they don't repeal and replace it. The hysterical reactions on both sides told me everything I needed to know.

The Good Old Boys in Washington aren't used to this, the blasphemy of an outsider coming in, shaking up the status quo, and upsetting the apple cart. The good thing is that Trump doesn't care, and is going to do it anyway.

LONG overdue.

 

It's clear that he doesn't care. But as for "doing things," so far he hasn't really done anything. And if he wants to actually accomplish anything (aside from supporting white nationalists) he's going to need those RINOs. Oh well, he doesn't really care. If he actually wanted to accomplish any of those campaign promises it's easy to imagine that he wouldn't be so busy alienating most of Washington.

 

Good points.

 

President Trump discusses the alt.left and the alt.right:

The epithet took hold when anti-Trump conservatives(?) weaponized it along with some green frog.

It's going to mean, if not already, anyone not hewing to a far left agenda.

 

eMSM is fully owned and operated by the alt.left

eMSM = extreme Mainstream media (is fully owned and operated by the alt.left)

eMBA = executive Masters in Business Administration

 

Good post, Maniac. I agree entirely. (Which is what makes posts good, I guess.)

Personally speaking, I identify as 'alt.right'. I use that slightly nerdy term to mean 'alternative right'. And by that, I mean the long ignored, often dismissed and recently ascendant populist tendency on the right, contrasted to (and often opposed to) the 'Wall Street Journal' big-business Republicans and the kind of mainstream Republicanism exemplified by the Bush family dynasty, Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan.

I started to describe those differences, but it threatened to grow into an extended essay, so I'll snip that.

It's a caricature, being deployed by some of our more prominent would-be opinion-leaders, with crude guilt-by-association rhetorical purpose. The very fact that an 'alt.right' exists at all is evidence that those opinion-leaders don't have nearly the influence that they think they have. (No, the New York Times daily editorial conference doesn't "set the nation's agenda". Tens of millions of us pay no attention to the New York Times.)

 

I guess a million new jobs means nothing to you?

Record-setting gains in the stock market mean nothing to you?

Highest consumer confidence ever means nothing to you?

That is precisely why Hillary lost the election, and the Republicans mopped the floor with the Democrats in the Congress and Governorships. Trump is working towards job creation and economic growth, while the Democrats are still stuck on transgender bathrooms and enabling illegal aliens.

 

I don't believe this number. Trump just made it up. He lies about virtually everything.

 

It's pretty easy to figure it out for yourself.

Plus here, easy to add the number up; https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.toc.htm


Plus these as well, almost 200K jobs per month, even after adjustments so far this year since Trump has taken office.

Just adding up the jobs added number will get you far north of a million jobs "added".


Take with the usual blue=good red=bad grain of salt however.

 

Where does the line stop and the new one begin? He's not responsible for lots of jobs, but of course there's no denying he's responsible for violence in Charlottesville? Then does that make Obama responsible for Dallas last year?

 

Alright, I can be hard to follow. Talk to you later.
