Trump

[F-ZeroOne]

From the same article, J.K. Rowling sums it up well:

"Hell of a day for the President to forget how to tweet."

[Harlequin]

Its not like I'm Trumps greatest fan, but if theres one thing about his response thats irritated me more than anything else, it was his "many sides" line.

It seems that he is now backtracking: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40943425.

F.F.S. You. Do. Not. Need. More. Time. To. Condemn. Nazis.

They're f**king Nazis!

So Trump tweeted a cartoon of himself as a train running over CNN, then rapidly deleted it.

What a jerk. Almost as much of a jerk as anyone who gave money to the gofundme campaigns for the man charged with killing the woman with his car in Charlotteville.

Wasn't it established a while back that the President isn't allowed to delete his tweets?

Baked Alaska was maced at the neo-fascist rally

I temporarily forgot that the self-defence pepper spray is called "Mace" and thought "bloody hell, they brought Medieval weaponry to the rally!".

Not really.

Think about it. In his mind, those attacking and hating on the white folks are also racists too. Why, look at those black people and the black-loving people going after "the white race" for simply expressing their inherent superiority.

A politician's answer. Read what it actually says, don't add semantics that are not there because the politician's answer depends on you hearing what you want to hear, without them actually technically saying it.

I mean, the obvious explanation of why he hasn't condemned the neo-Nazis is that, well, he agrees with them. I don't mean that he's a card-carrying Ku Klux Klan member or anything, but just that he sympathises with the whole "white race under attack" thing and, after all, spent the campaign promising to build a separation wall to keep the Mexican "rapists" away from the good clean white folk.

[F-ZeroOne]

Oh, - as he has made very clear today - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40943425 - I know where his sympathies, and those of the party that supported him as President (but didn't want him), lie; by "Finally" I meant he had finally responded in the way he should have done in the first place. I know even that response was as inadequate as he could possibly make it, but its moot anyway because his statements today are pretty much a retraction.

Personal account (at realDonaldTrump), not the POTUS account

Former Presidents Bush (both of them) wade in, but its kind of a shame all these horrified Republicans didn't speak up a little sooner, isn't it? (like, y'know, during the election campaign):

Trump is also disbanding those business councils everyone was resigning from:

[Harlequin]

For every CEO that drops out of the Manufacturing Council, I have many to take their place. Grandstanders should not have gone on. JOBS!

Business councils disband over Trump remarks
…
Mr Trump said: "Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both."

Before Mr Trump's announcement, the Strategy and Policy Forum announced it was a joint decision to disband the council.
…

[F-ZeroOne]

Good grief, is the man so convinced he is right in every possible situation he is simply unable to stop himself?

" 'Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson - who's next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish!' Mr Trump continued in a series of tweets on Thursday."

" 'The beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!' "

" 'You can't change history, but you can learn from it,' ".

Beautiful statues as DT describe them, i have never seen them so i have no opinion about their artistic quality, can always be placed in a Museum. They can actually do an entire Museum about the Confederation and the Civil War, and since Museums exhist for knowledge in the process they can alway explain about the slavery system too.

In Angola, a former Portuguese Colonial Province and since the 1970s an independent country there was a few statues left by Portugal. They were collected and placed in an old Portuguese Fortress transformed in a Museum.

Here in the 18th century there was a civil war opposing to Princes, one in favour of Absolutism and the other in favour of a Liberal system. BTW the Liberal were supported by the British Monarchy and the Absolutists by the Austrian. The Liberals won. Funny enough we don't have statues in public places of the leaders of the side who lost but we have a few of the side that won. In Museums though, there is paintings, sculptures and other objects of the loosing side.

I know the examples come from very small countries not that important in the context of the world but maybe they could think about those options in the US.

What they need is more resources to support the Veterans.
