What better way to fight against domestic terrorism than a day on the links?

Weā€™ve seen this squid ink for two years now. Put out conflicting statements and let people believe the one they want to. At this point the only reaction with any point to it is noting who continues to fall for this crap. For any fair-minded observer thereā€™s more and more evidence this President actually favors and supports white supremacists in an increasingly open way.

ā€œThe White House on Sunday claimed ā€˜of courseā€™ President Donald Trump included white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi groupsā€¦ā€

ā€œNow, watch this drive.ā€

I think he really is one. ItĀ“s one of his few core beliefs.

Can we count the times Trump has failed to condemn white supremacists? Remember the Mexican homeless dude beat up during the primaries in South Boston? The losers who did it explicitly referenced Trump, but he was silent.

Remember Portland? Weak tea statement that came three days late and didnā€™t explicitly reference the white supremacist statements of the murderer.

Trump canā€™t condemn them. Theyā€™re the only base he has left.

Impeach the Nazi now.

ā€œOf course that includes white Supremacists, KKK, neo-nazi ***and all extremist groups.***"

Jesus wept. Even the clean-up is designed to give aid and comfort to the Nazis by equating them with the counter-protestors.

Kristol is Jewish. He understands the antiSemitic content behind the white supremacists.

Can the folks on the White House renovations just barricade the doors so the Orange Hot Air Buffoon canā€™t get back in when his strategic golf junket is over?

Itā€™s because now an entity is loosed upon the world thatā€™s dumber and wronger than Kristol. I think precisely such a thing was foretold in the Book of Revelation but Iā€™d have to go back and check my notes.

Speculation at Axios that Bannon might be on the way out. Donā€™t know how much to read into thatā€¦

Not all racists wear a hood - many wear suits and blend in to a point.

This is par for the course from Trump, and it happened several times during the campaign. Some disgusting Trump supporter (e.g., David Duke, for one) speaks up for Trump, and he issues a mealy-mouthed statement that could maybe kinda sort of be interpreted as a condemnation or disavowal. Then, the next day, he sends some spokesdummy out to say, ā€œof couse, the President disavows and condemns.ā€ Wouldnā€™t it be amazing to actually hear this from Trumpā€™s lips? The man is an utter coward who trembles before his base. Useless Ivanka even condemned the white nationalists! The presidentā€™s daughter has more b@lls than the president.

The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred,ā€ a White House spokesperson told TPM by email. ā€œOf course that includes white Supremacists, KKK, neo-nazi and all extremist groups.ā€

You just cannot finger out how to spin tRumps unwillingness to call out a large section of his base can you? These are the people he courted with dog whistles during his campaign.

Why not just STFU ?
