I hope that the next president will have the ability to STFU.
Maybe you can talk about Khizr Khan next. And grabbing pussies. You know, just give us a run of Candidate Trump’s Greatest Hits. It won you the election (very, very big, people say, just a huge number of voters, and not a lot of people know that). Go back to that well! People loved it! It was very great.
Senator Scott: “That’s who he is.” Euphemistic way of saying: yes, he is a racist. but in the call for party solidarity - it is tacitly left dangling in the air - the sentiment But at least he is OUR (GOP) racist which of course goes without saying in the contemporary GOP which is stock quite full with bigots.
“You have some pretty bad dudes on the other side also, and essentially, that’s what I said,"
NOPE.
What you said was that there were “Very Fine People on Both Sides.”
It’s a completely different point, and FUCK YOU for lying about it. You cowardly POS.
“… to assume that immediately thereafter he’s going to have an epiphany is just unrealistic.”
Understatement of the century?
So Trump continues to think that being anti-fascist and against white supremacy is “the other side”.
Telling language I’d say.
Hmmm. I wonder if Trump will sign the Congressional Joint Resolution attacking the KKK, white supremacists, and calling the the Charlottesville murder and mayhem ‘domestic terrorism’.
I think the Vegas betting line just changed.
Based on this article, I don’t know what anyone said.
“He shook his head and said, ‘yeah, I got it,’” Scott said.
Got what?
Scott told CBS separately that Trump had “obviously reflected on what he has said, on his intentions and the perception of those comments.”
In what way had he “reflected”? And to what end?
“he was certainly very clear that the perception that he received on his comments was not exactly what he intended with those comments”
Meaning what?
“That’s who he is”
Oh, OK. That clarifies everything. /s
Nah, he’ll still sign it. But he’ll also undercut it w weasel words, as he did today.
I’m generally an optimist, but I look at this guy and listen to him, and a part of me truly believes we will never completely recover from this.
I hope the next President has the ability to grow and learn.
The President again criticized the “other side,” and said nothing about the white nationalists at the rally. “You have some pretty bad dudes on the other side also, and essentially, that’s what I said,” the President continued. “Now, because of what’s happened since then with Antifa, you look at what’s happened since Charlottesville, a lot of people are saying and people have actually written, ‘Gee, Trump may have a point.’ I said there’s some very bad people on the other side also, which is true.”
Question: Why are the anti-white supremacists, the anti-racists, and Antifa, to the President at least, “the other side.” It’s like he’s on one side (with the white supremacists and other racists), and then there’s the other side. Maybe this isn’t what he means (except subliminally), but it sure is what he continues to say. Personally, I’m happy to be on the other side.
“That’s the only way I know how to toady”, he explained.
Didn’t see your post before I took 3 times as many words to express the same thing. Very telling, indeed.
Well he’s trying out that old ying-yang theory of good and evil, but using a Queens lexicon.
“Personally, I’m happy to be on the other side.”
Precisely. As the Bush administration kept reminding us, you were either with the terrorists, or against them. When it comes to the KKK, Nazis, etc., I take the same approach.
He’ll issue a signing statement about the protestors violating the 1st Amendment rights of the white supremacists to peaceably assemble, petition their government, and exercise their sincerely held religious beliefs that their god made “the others” specifically to serve the needs of the master race.

It’s a good thing Jemele Hill apologized. Otherwise people might get the wrong impression of Klansmen K. Kockholster.
