Media: How come Trump seems to be able to get angry and indignant about everyone from Mitch McConnel to CNN to Muslims to Democrats to Mika Brezinski to the Twilight films but can't work up some emotion about Nazis, white supremicists, and a terrorist act on American soil?

Trump: Gets angry about the media pointing out that he's not angry about the Nazis.

Like seriously I'm sure the nation is totally interested in hearing about Trumps beef with Jim Acosta over literally anything else that actually matters. Jesus all gently caress man...the guys sense of timing. I'm stating to see how this guy managed to have so many bankrupties and lawsuits and guess what the next actual big policy issue that matters is about

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
The sad thing is he probably thinks this is a clever way to get the heat off him. It doesn't actually matter whether I condemn Charlottesville or not because the media is going to hate me no matter what I say!

Please, Trump. Please keep talking about it. I can't handle this much winning.

Nice.

But I thought they were planning to do it in a public space somewhere the university couldn't prevent them doing it anyway. In response to the last time that rear end in a top hat invited the other rear end in a top hat, the university revised its rules on who could reserve use of school facilities, requiring an officially sanctioned university organization or a faculty sponsor, which they don't have.

Maybe they are just gearing up for if the gathering touches school grounds at all they can have police remove them or something.

They didn't. A local neo-nazi did. And my understanding was the university denied use of its facilities anyway.

Could be something like this. Like, it's a public university, and so it's public property and they can't be prevented using outdoor spaces normally, but maybe they're able to block it on safety concerns.

When Obama was president every time something like this happened my racist coworkers would blame Obama for setting race relations back 50 years, but now that Trump is in charge they're placing the blame squarely on him. Just kidding, they're saying that the statues are part of history and should stay up and who even knows who attacked who anyways?

Tell them that Heather Heyer was killed by James Fields. That his mother confirmed that he was heading to an alt-right rally that day that he ran down the woman. That he had means on his Facebook about running down protesters, supporting Donald Trump, and Nazi related memes. That he was pictured at the rally holding a flag of the Nazi party. Mention that the event organizers, David Duke Richard Spencer and Jason Something, all were supporters of Donald Trump and said on camera that this rally was to fullfill Donald Trump's policies. So, Heather Heyer was killed by a radicalized white supremacist terrorists who supported Donald Trump and felt emboldened by him to attack an innocent American and kill her and that all of this is hard fact. And that afterwards he did not condemn the white supremacists and blamed the ones who were killed for being there indirectly by saying both sides are bad and only changed his stance after 3 days of being insulted for it.

Universities can also get away with it by bringing up the fact that its a huge security risk for students so no you cant speak.

Incredible, though not surprising, that a Nazi can murder a woman and injure a dozen other people on American soil and the President's respond is entirely centered around his own delicate fee fees.

I just finished "The Battle Cry of Freedom" and am more pumped than ever to see that poo poo get torn down. The Civil War definitely could have gone better but It's kind of a small miracle that it shook out the way it did particularly with the antebellum south being destroyed and unconditional emancipation (and arguably the concept of a single nation instead of a union of nations taking hold). Those could have gone other ways, but we really badly fumbled reconstruction and basically the ~90 years that followed Appomattox.

Those loving monuments did not help and Sherman's attitude while touring SC was basically the galactic brain moment of that era.

Butt first, let's

This is the thing about Trump. Any competent racist President would just make a proper statement and throw Gorka to the wolves and get past this in a week. But Trump is a crazy narcissist so he's going to keep making this about how the media is so unfair for saying he should say or do something meaningful about Nazis.

They can't deny use of the space for political reasons, but they can for safety reasons, which is exactly what they did.
