Just watching the full presser now. It's amazing how strongly he comes out against the "alt-left" and how belligerent he gets towards the reporters over things versus that tepid condemnation he was forced to do yesterday that he could barely bring any energy too at all.

For gods sake, take the time to train and learn every safety precaution before keeping one in your home. The last thing the country needs is even more gun owners that don't know how and when to use them.

Look on the bright side.



I recommend buying guns but do not do so unless take it seriously and train how to properly and safely operate them. Having one otherwise is just more danger to yourself and people around you.

I don't see how anyone can have a moral problem with shaming and naming Nazis. I guess my problem is that I worry that a bunch of people are going to be misidentified and unjustly persecuted, like that poor guy that got accused incorrectly by Redditors as the Boston Marathon Bomber.

Before you go attributing names to faces, you should be pretty sure.

You just cited the problem in your own post.

Also, let's just ban all statues. Except for The Thinker, The Michael Jordan One and the Rocky one in Philly.

Nazism is the only proven ideology with a repeatable gameplan for dissolving democratic institutions and reorganizing society around racist violence. It makes sense that right wing radicals gravitate towards what works.

Buy a shotgun since it's more club-like but keep it unloaded

Trump might get a few more bargaining cycles out of people, but he is alienating people faster than he can normalize his behavior.

That statue is the worst, super ugly and Stallone got angry when the Philadelphia Art Museum wouldn't put it at the top of the steps.

If it was at the top of the steps little kids wouldn't be able to jump up and down there for photographs!

Let's keep the one of Thorfin Karlstefni instead.

That presser was honestly kind of unbelievable. He hosed up when he didn't immediately denounce white supremacists after Charlottesville. Only after intense public and internal White House pressure did he actually make a speech specifically calling them out. Then today, he completely undid that speech and then some, by further blaming the "alt-left" and even going so far as to defend white supremacists. David Duke even sent out his appreciation.

Good god.
