I'm not interested in twitter or the twits tweets. There are official ways for a real POTUS to communicate and give orders. But of course he isn't a leader.

Your idea of immediately and mine is quite different. One of my kids cut her finger badly enough to need stitches over the weekend. We took care of it immediately, meaning, she was at an ER (walk in clinics close down by about 8 in my town) within a 25 minutes or so. Unless you are suggesting that the guy ran over folks today, I'm not sure how Trump's timeline registers as immediately. So, are you asserting that all news outlets were wrong, in that the guy ran over those people within the past 10 hours? I'd really like to see all those links... Immediately means immediately. Who offers "Best regards" to the victims of terrorism.

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich quits Trump's manufacturing council www.cnbc.com/2017/08/14/intel-ceo-quit-trumps-manufacturing-council.htmlblogs.intel.com/policy/2017/08/14/intel-ceo-leaves-manufacturing-council/ By Intel Blog Admin on August 14, 2017 By Brian Krzanich, Chief Executive Officer Earlier today, I tendered my resignation from the American Manufacturing Council. I resigned to call attention to the serious harm our divided political climate is causing to critical issues, including the serious need to address the decline of American manufacturing. Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America’s manufacturing base. I have already made clear my abhorrence at the recent hate-spawned violence in Charlottesville, and earlier today I called on all leaders to condemn the white supremacists and their ilk who marched and committed violence. I resigned because I want to make progress, while many in Washington seem more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them. We should honor – not attack – those who have stood up for equality and other cherished American values. I hope this will change, and I remain willing to serve when it does. I am not a politician. I am an engineer who has spent most of his career working in factories that manufacture the world’s most advanced devices. Yet, it is clear even to me that nearly every issue is now politicized to the point where significant progress is impossible. Promoting American manufacturing should not be a political issue. My request—my plea—to everyone involved in our political system is this: set scoring political points aside and focus on what is best for the nation as a whole. The current environment must change, or else our nation will become a shadow of what it once was and what it still can and should be.

Satire from The Borowitz Report Man in Hostage Video Forced to Recite Words Not His Own
By Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A disturbing hostage video surfaced on Monday showing an American man woodenly reciting words that were not his own. The video, which was broadcast on all the major news networks, raised concerns for the man, whose robotic performance indicated that he was reading a prepared statement under duress. While the man appeared well fed and, to a certain extent, healthy, his facial expressions and body language convinced experts that the act of reciting the prepared text was an extraordinary ordeal for him. Harland Dorrinson, a forensic psychologist, compared the man’s performance with hours of earlier footage of him and said that the man had “never expressed these sentiments before.” “He did not seem to understand what he was saying,” the psychologist said. “At times, he appeared to be reading these words phonetically.” Additionally, Dorrinson said, the man’s speech patterns in the hostage video were strikingly different from those in earlier videos of him. “From the moment he began speaking, the subjects in his sentences agreed with the verbs,” he said. “That set off alarm bells.” link

And while Trump stumbles, bumbles, and fumbles his way to another record low in ridiculousness, former President Obama's tweet is the third-most-liked in history. Quoting from Nelson Mandela: linkAt least one of our recent presidents was actually presidential.

You're overlooking the fact that Charlottesville is another "blue" area with a dopey Mayor, and yet more police stand-down order problems. This jag dork wanted this mess to happen. As far as I'm concerned, these two groups of assholes deserve one another. National Socialists or Antifa / BLM Socialists-- they're all socialists. WTF is this crap. No. They did not stand aside and let this happen. I completely agree with Giramomma. I am very disturbed that the Catholic Church told it's members they had to vote for this Monster, and nothing from them about Trump's failure to Condemn the KKK, White Supremacists and Hard Right. WCP do you condemn KKK,?White Supremacists Natsism etc?

COMPLETELY lost me with this nonsense: Setting aside the (probably intended) slur of "Democratic* Party", the Democrats at the time were the conservative party. They have switched positions since. It is not the Democrats who groups like the KKK and the neo-Nazis find appealing today. They will tell you exactly who they like and who they vote for. Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular. And Byrd repeatedly renounced and apologized for his earlier history DECADES ago. Come up with something better than that, please. * Auto-corrected because of slur.

Nobody is missing anything. The Trump inspired "alt-right", representing all of the Trump supporters, simply acted on their belief systems.

WCP do you condemn KKK,?White Supremacists Natsism etc? Of course President Trump condemned the violent groups in Charlottesville- and he did so immediately. If you choose to remain uninformed about this- don't expect me to respond to your ignorant remarks. I condemn ALL racism and hatred- including the most racist, hate-filled, venom-spewing President we've had since Wilson (D) and LBJ (D): Barack Obama. Here's how the truth must be conveyed. We simply have to shove this contrived shit back in the faces of the Democrats that promote it: he Democratic Party is an aspiring totalitarian regime. They imagined completing our fundamental transformation under the reign of the Hillary Clinton. For the Democrats, politics is about the brutal, raw, unchecked exercise of power over people. Everywhere they look, however, they're out of power. Under Barack Obama, they lost the House, the Senate, and State Legislature after state legislature- over 1,000 legislative seats in all. Now, they've lost the White House. They've been reduced to a fringe, regional party, with support almost entirely from scattered, densely populated urban centers concentrated mainly on America's coasts. They yearn for power. They crave it. But they've been denied. They don't want to correct course. They don't want to do the hard work of rebuilding trust. They want to seize power. And they are building a dangerous, thuggish, violent regime right before our eyes. Antifa and BLM are the Democratic Party. Unless or until elected Democratic Party politicians denounce these organizations, and condemn their domestic terror activities, we must make absolutely certain that the Democratic Party OWNS its stormtroopers and brownshirts Antifa and BLM. Make no mistake, as the Democratic Party plots its comeback at the ballot box through the window dressing of "free and fair elections", their organized and institutional election rigging will continue, and they will use their jack booted thugs to intimidate, marginalize, assault, and murder the opposition. No Democrat should be permitted to seek office without being relentlessly pressured to denounce BLM and Antifa; and condemn their domestic terror tactics. And no Democrat politician seeking office should escape relentless scrutiny of their position on the integrity of elections. This needs to be made bi-partisan through connecting the Democrats to their criminal election rigging activity, and their violent street thug's tactics. LikeCommentShare

Let's be clear: there is NO LINK between President Trump, nor any of his supporters, and any white nationalist, neo-nazi, or white supremacist leader, organization, or movement. None.
Liberals here: do you reject and condemn the attempt by some on the left to label Trump as supportive of hate groups, and by extension malign his supporters- like me- as racist, bigoted, sexist, or homophobic?
Unless or until you do, you will henceforth have no credibility with me.

So when David Duke tweeted to Trump, "I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists," that was what exactly?

I'm not interested in twitter or the twits tweets. There are official ways for a real POTUS to communicate and give orders. But of course he isn't a leader. President Trump did respond officially- immediately. Your continued insistence that he did not just illustrates the root word of ignorance: ignore. I can't help someone who willfully ignores facts.

It's not that Trump supports hate groups, regardless of his pre-election ambiguity. It's that they support him and feel empowered to act on that.

Speaking of ignore, you aren't getting many responses so you look back 16 hours to insult. BTW I don't need or want your help. I'll take the high ground as you continue to take the low ground. Enjoy talking to yourself.

His first tweet on Saturday was all about 'law and order' from BOTH SIDES - and he repeated the 'BOTH SIDES' twice.
Never mentioned racists, white supremists, Nazis, etc.
That original tweet actually made things much, much worse for him, as even his fellow Republicans rushed to condemn him for not calling out the racist groups by name.
Only 3 days later, after (no doubt) Ivanka twisted his arm, did he reluctantly make a speech about how racists groups are bad - and them he immediately let everyone know that he might pardon Sheriff Joe, just so his buddies on the Alt Right know he's just joking about the whole anti-racist thing....

There is absolutely no doubt who they consider the leader of their movement, the one who can finally get this race war started and the US on the path to a milky white future.

Liberals here: do you reject and condemn the attempt by some on the left to label Trump as supportive of hate groups, and by extension malign his supporters- like me- as racist, bigoted, sexist, or homophobic? Unless or until you do, you will henceforth have no credibility with me. Let me be clear, I do not think all people who voted Republican or hold themselves as Republicans are Racist, but I do believe that at a Minimum, Trump has been willing to court the vote of White Supremacists, the Alt-Right and Nazi's, and that he has been reluctant to condemn them, I also think that historically this has been a problem with the Republican Party. I think his failure to condemn them has allowed them to gain traction and attention for their movement. I don't think BLM is a hate group. and I don't buy into your BS about former President Obama. Many Republicans are homophobic, and many of the religions that are aligned with the right are homophobic. That said, my family is Catholic, and at least the church I grew up in, is accepting of Homosexual individuals and I have hope that their doctrine will change and be more accepting in the future.
My Brother is a Republican, he is not Racist. He will soon have Black and Mexican Son-in-laws. There is no doubt that many of those responsible for the violence in Charlottesville are counted among Trump supporters, they said they were Trump Supporters, so why claim that "there is NO LINK between President Trump, nor any of his supporters, and any White nationalist, neo-Nazi, or white supremacist leader, organization or movement? I saw that Cruz condemned the violence and so did Paul Ryan, and John McCain and many others, so no, I don't think all Republicans are Racists or White Supremacists.
I remain un-trusting of Trump's motives. I still think he is too reluctant to denounce the Alt-right. More terrorism is committed by anti-government extremists than Muslim extremists, and less than 2% was committed by groups other than Alt-Right and Muslim groups. One article I looked at today said 74% was alt right, 26% Muslim. (looking for link)
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3139077/White-extremists-killed-Muslim-fundamentalists-9-11-claims-report-ignores-death-toll-Americans-abroad.html
What Mid-JD said: So when David Duke tweeted to Trump, "I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists," that was what exactly?
(Mid-I was going to look for this b/c I was thinking the exact same thing!)
I want a two (or more) party system, free and open dialog, fair elections that don't depend on making it difficult or impossible for some individuals or groups to vote, or gerrymandered districts that mean that you can "win a district with 40% of the vote etc etc. I don't want to see anyone interfere in our elections or rig the vote in their favor, be it the Soviet Union, Russians, Republicans, Democrats or anyone else. I don't think you want the same thing.

Did you see the video of the guys marching around Charlottesville doing the Nazi salute screaming "Heil Hitler?"
Or do you think these neo-Nazi guys all just have a big man crush on Trump because of all the awesomeness - and how can Trump be blamed for being so gosh darn wonderful?
