Trump calls a lackey over to utter the names of two Dem senators. Then says "See...? I can do it". Truly perplexing.


And now he's talking about how great everything is and how things are getting better and better everyday. Judging the tone just right

If there was anything that could prove Trump is a psychotic maniac this speech would be it. Turning away from Americans getting outright murdered to speak about something entirely different without a hint of emotion.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

That was a dog whistle because this whole thing was done over a statue that was going to be torn down of a confederate soldier.

He said "we must cherish our history" in the context of protests/counterprotests over removing a Confederate statue, he very much made his statement there.

He has declared a side. And of course, he chose white supremacy.


Anyone who denies this is likely the audience he has been dogwhistling at in the first place.

He doesn't care about that poo poo, just getting to grand stand in front of a camera so once that's over he just wants to walk away. It's literally right in front of America every day, but sure whatever totally well adjusted focused human being in charge of the country that cares and wants to make things better.

You think reality is a circle of salt around my brain keeping witches out?
I have a sinking feeling that our calls for Trump to specifically denounce white supremacy are going to be turned around on us. Like, "Hey, you mocked us when we wanted Obama to say 'Islamic Terrorism', why the sudden turn around? Maybe liberals are the REAL hypocrites."

Which is stupid, since the details and connotations of those two phrases are completely different. But that'll be what Rush will have to say on Monday and that'll convince at least a third of the country to keep doing what they're doing and everything is fine.

Yep. That's the point. If you read the history of Weimar Germany in the 20s and early 30s it's remarkably the same as in the USA in the 2000s and 2010s. Even down to the CSA Lost Cause being the analog of the German Empire Stab In the Back myth.

I mean gently caress, the Nazis literally had "States Rights" in their party platform.

Hitler frequently quoted and cited Nathan Bedford Forrest.
