It's official. There has never been a POTUS as --vile-- unpopular as Trump. Sad! Trump cont.

Inigo that's brilliant

What, I wonder, does it take for an invitation for a State Visit to be rescinded?

Because, if that fucker comes here, for the first time in my life, I will help man the barricades.

I think this is a good take on it bigly

Here is an amazing quote by Beverly Tatum:

“I sometimes visualize the ongoing cycle of racism as a moving walkway at the airport. Active racist behavior is equivalent to walking fast on the conveyor belt. The person engaged in active racist behavior has identified with the ideology of our White supremacist system and is moving with it. Passive racist behavior is equivalent to standing still on the walkway. No overt effort is being made, but the conveyor belt moves the bystanders along to the same destination as those who are actively walking. But unless they are walking actively in the opposite direction at a speed faster than the conveyor belt – unless they are actively anti-racist – they will find themselves carried along with the others.”

Not looking likely to happen any time soon bore (the rescinding I mean)

Downing Street says Donald Trump's statements are 'a matter for him' after he fails to directly condemn white supremacists

I spent some time in the online Pepe hell hole yesterday.

ALL Donald's comments can be directly linked to the Pepe chatter. ALL OF IT.
From his both sides BS, to his shall we tear George Washington down, to is it really terrorism, to but they're not REALLY Nazis, are they...
This press conference was basically like if he had the Twitter timeline of a Redpilled Anime Nazi just loaded up in his teleprompter.
There is no mincing words.

Donald Trump is not a white supremacist, Nazi apologist.

Donald Trump IS a white supremacist Nazi.

OK, I've found that documentary Scotland and the Klan by Scottish historian Neil Oliver on YouTube.

It's nearly an hour so if you don't have time, maybe watch this bit at 48:30.

"Hill has also talked to his people, not merely about how the South is an Anglo-Celtic wonderland and all this kind of things and we need to protect our culture, but about the need to buy AK-47s and tools to derail trains."

That was Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Centre, talking about Michael Hill of the League of the South. You can see Oliver's interview with Michael Hill immediately before that, from 43:50.

Pain, on the same lines a US friend of mine posted this on Facebook:

I agree squoosh I meant step down, resign, have nothing to do with their party while he is president.

Writing a virtuous tweet then upholding the administration is just as bad as fully backing him with words and deeds.

To be fair Trump is just being himself, it's not a secret is it. He hasn't suddenly pulled a mask off and changed track. He is a vicious man behaving the way he always has.

This article shows how his words has emboldened the far right

www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/neo-nazis-donald-trump-charlottesville-press-conference-comments-both-sides-helpful-anti-fascist-a7895761.html

Allport's Ladder of Predjudice is also useful in looking at the importance of words and how important they are.

So the Orange one has now said publicly that those poor little neo Nazis are not getting good press....hopefully the backlash will bring about his downfall soon. As I optimisticly posted yesterday - he could be brought down by the very people he represents....fingers crossed.

Thanks for that Perking -- I was thinking about those links only the other day.

That independent article is chilling.

It beggars belief that the US has gone from having an African American in the WH to this.

For a bit of light relief, late night hosts respond to Trump's press conference

People get Ready.

next Nazi rallies

David Duke endorses Nigel Farage

Interesting story behind the photo of a black officer protecting the right wing rally:

So Trump considers himself as part of the far right groups?

Another very appropriate Facebook post

maxthemartian that transcript has been found to be inaccurate - the audio doesn't support that he said "us"

Good glossary of language used by the far right:

Ah, we've moved on to the next stage - swiftly sweeping past the latest controversy without anything actually changing or being done about.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Amazon is doing great damage to tax paying retailers. Towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt - many jobs being lost!

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Congratulation to Roy Moore and Luther Strange for being the final two and heading into a September runoff in Alabama. Exciting race!

I wonder what exciting new atrocity he'll lob at us this week to distract
us from the rest of the shit show? I'd have said nuclear war but we've already had that one.

Just read your links to what happened in Charlottesville and it just heartbreaking
