More of this please. Get the mayor on every network. Call Fox and volunteer to be interviewed. Letās see how theyāll turn him down.
And Trump is their fearless leader: http://www.politicususa.com/2017/08/12/trump-walks-reporters-asked-denounce-white-supremacists.html

And a concerted drumbeat for the sacking of Bannon, Gorka, and the rest, would be in order. Do not let him off the hook just by tweaking his tweeting, if even that is possible.
Mr Mayor,
Welcome to the Ununited States of Trump.
Our country is now of the Trump, by the Trump and for the Trump.
He appears to be solidly behind those who came into your town and tell you you have no right to go against their beliefs.
This hate and allowing terrorists to run free in his name is what appears to be how he wants his country to be.
When is the next Senate seat in Virginia open?
Politicians, normally averse to any semblance of controversy, are openly signaling they donāt respect Trump, and even worse for him, they donāt fear him.
Heās only been in office six months and already heās rudderless and weakened.
Virginia has two good democratic senators - Warner and Kaine.
Go for the congressional seat held by Garrett (R-5) who wants to dismantle Obamacare totally.
Oh, and if Garrett has said anything about the travesty in Charlottesville, I havenāt seen itā¦
Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer (D) on Sunday slammed President Donald Trump for his campaignās āintentional courtingā of white supremacist groups and his failure to condemn them in the wake of violence at a rally that left dozens injured.
If this were the eighteenth century, the mayor could have been a Signer of the U.S. Constitution.
āLook at the intentional courting, both on the one hand all of these white supremacist, white nationalist groups like that, anti-Semitic groups, and then look on the other hand the repeated failure to step up and condemn, denounce, silence, put to bed all of those different efforts, just like we saw yesterday,ā he added. āThis is not hard.ā
It wouldnāt be difficult for most people. But, see the first part of what you said, Mayor. And consider who Trump really is, his core belief in what he sees as strength (which includes hate and violence), and his need for adulation (which the white supremacists and racists provide), and you have your answer.
I am surprised that Feckless Leader hasnāt clapped back on the democrat mayor with a ānow is not the time to play politics with peopleās livesā. Is He loosing his Twitter edge?
If he does, it will be despicable. During the campaign, two armed yahoos decided to āmonitorā the Democratic Party office near my house all day long, and he approved of it as a beautiful exercise of 2nd amendment rights. He is among the worst of the worst.
Make no mistake about it, the press will shower Trump with praise for his slightest criticism of what is blatant terrorism by a right-wing, white supremacist. If Trump even says something as stupid and empty as āthe driver was an angry white man who was driven to this mistake by Obamaās bad racial policiesā, the press will say Trump has now admitted it was a white man and, therefore, this is the long awaited āpivotā that they knew would be coming all along. Fuck the press for always acting as if Trump might suddenly change; asking if this might be the point when Trump starts acting āpresidentialā. Fuck 'em all right in the neck.
Yes. I live just outside Cville, and it is a pleasure to watch the government there. Of course itās not perfect (who is?), but the city council has 11 members and 11 Democrats and generally proceeds in a logical, caring manner. Quite a breath of fresh air.
If this were the eighteenth century, the mayor could have been a Signer of the U.S. Constitution.
And Republicans would be wearing red coats, singing the praise of King George III, and endorsing the use of Hessian mercenaries to kill the revolutionary colonists.
This is his weak spot ā not Russia. Russian collusion may undermine him legally but his courting of and enabling white supremacists undermines him morally.
Theyāre BOTH weak spots. Plenty of Americansāincluding more than a few prominent Republicansābelieve that his Russian collusion and affection for Putin undermines him morally, and this has significantly cut into his support among those who arenāt part of Trumpās dead-ender GOP base. This in turn makes his half-hearted statement on Charlottesville even more disastrous.
But not yet destroyed. This is his weak spot ā not Russia. Russian collusion may undermine him legally but his courting of and enabling white supremacists undermines him morally. Weāve got to push on this one until heās destroyed.
Mike;
Quit complaining about Trump and take action. Send a city Public Works crew to Emancipation Park and drop the fetish object to the ground. Drag it onto a roll-back and deliver it to whichever Judge has presumed to place themselves above the safety of your citizenry. That is how you deal with Nazis
Has there been any local discussion about police ānon-interventionā during the violence?
Mayor, some C-4 explosive and send Bobby E. Lee back to hell.
