Does Trump not understand that the Nazis he supports would like to gas his grandchildren, favourite daughter and son-in-law?

How can someone wilfully ignore that?

Hi , I read a fair bit of these threads when I have time. Not sure if anyone has posted this yet seems relevant right now.

In the middle of all this have you noticed that NK has sort of back-pedalled but Iran may end up denouncing the nuclear deal and go back on the race?

Things could still go wrong, but I think we can get out of the bunkers for at least a few days.

This is a worrying account of a young man's descent into the alt right world.

KJU sounds as if he's enjoying 45's discomfiture, Lweji.

This clip is from Fox News and it's gone viral. I would like to think Trump saw it. He's in big trouble.

My instructions were to meet the “comrades” outside the Walmart.

I wonder if that's why Trump is now complaining about Amazon.

And yes, I'm sure KJU is enjoying it. He got to keep power by reinforcing enmity between NK and the US.

Maduro will too. Sad That threat of military action will rally Venezuelans around him.

2Bees I saw some of the clips from his campaign where he was saying how he believed in superior genes and so on. He seemed to phrase it quite carefully (for Trump) so that it could be interpreted as either class or race.

It was pretty obvious what his code meant.

This fake tweet makes a point.

FantasticButtocks · 16/08/2017 16:24

Just watched that Fox clip Sad Near the end though, the woman says the president needs to speak from his heart - Er, I think he has spoken from his heart, that's actually the problem. This is the real him and this is what he really thinks, and however deep anyone digs into his heart, his soul...that's what's in there. Sad

Watching memorial service for Heather Heyer online. In tears.

Someone should have hogtied Scrotus and forced him to watch it a la Alex in Clockwork Orange. Someone should point out to him that there are only 3 years age difference between Heather and his own daughter, Ivanka. But even that probably wouldn't do any good.

I don't often use the word 'evil' to describe a fellow human being as for me it has specific connotations of a total lack of humanity in one's soul. Today, I can say unequivocally that Trump is indeed evil. I just hope that yesterday's presser was his 'jump the shark' moment. The moment when even the most ambivalent amongst us says "No. Hell no!" in disgust.

Roussette · 16/08/2017 16:32

Yes Across I said a few days ago or thereabouts that I actually think Trump is evil. He has so much hate in his heart.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 16/08/2017 16:36

Another alarming read - I thank the powers that be that the UK doesn't have the imbecilic gun laws that the US does. It's horrifying that these pathetic man-babies in their ridiculous wannabe military dress-up can wander about Charlottesville (and elsewhere) armed with automatic rifles.

BTW, Inigo I stole your earlier post for a tweet. Hope you don't mind.

To paraphrase Michael Moore - yes it fucking does!

We shouldn't lose track of the overall picture though.

Trump is being pursued by the inquiry. He is facing potential impeachment.

So this week alone we've had a) a threatened nuclear war and b) a shocking support for Nazis - all to get us to talk about anything but the fact that there are many valid grounds for impeachment.

Trump's always been a fascist - nothing new there, and anyone who didn't spot this before the election wasn't looking very hard. He has already disgraced the office of President multiple times over.

What matters now is the work going on behind the scenes to remove him.

CornwallLass · 16/08/2017 16:53

Not wishing in any way to trivialise abhorrent events, but there appears to be a rather large pile of dead cats on the table which is taking up a lot of attention . When was the last time anybody asked about Russia? How many of the recent events are intentionally being used as distraction and how many are genuine? Or is it that 45 enjoys causing chaos for the sake of it?

sheeela · 16/08/2017 16:59

My point exactly, CornwallLass.

We need to talk about Russia.

When Trump says Nazis are good guys, we need to say 'Tell us about Russia'.

And keep doing that, every time he tries to change the subject, to nuking Koreans, or nice Nazis, or whatever.

squoosh · 16/08/2017 17:00

When was the last time anybody asked about Russia? How many of the recent events are intentionally being used as distraction and how many are genuine?

I'm sure Mueller hasn't been distracted and that's the main thing really, and I doubt the GOP are happy with yesterday's press conference even if it did shift attention from the Russia probe.

InigoTaran · 16/08/2017 17:04

AcrossthePond55 Tweet away! Smile

cozietoesie · 16/08/2017 17:11

As has been mainly said above, I doubt that Mr Mueller is seriously distracted. Smile

PerkingFaintly · 16/08/2017 17:13

Quite right, sheeela and CornwallLass.

And white supremacy is very much a Putin theme too. It's possible the main aim of Russian in interference in the US (and elsewhere) is disruption and paralysis, but Putin really won't be upset at displays of white nationalist fascism in the US.
