That video of him weeping was instructive to watch.

Nazis are all cowards, when you take away the guns, armour and group of louts to hang out with. You only become a Nazi because you're fundamentally inadequate.

He's been banned from Facebook and Instagram

Bet he's seething that he's been banned by a woman named Ruchika Budhraja

cozietoesie I think today was a memorial service, not the funeral, due to fears it would be targeted?

I like this comment from underneath that article:

so many really are the same. they are so full of drama. so easy to cry, tear up. so emotional. just evidence of real trauma in their lives, real self loathing, crisis, long term suffering that has nothing to do with other races. Then they get introduced to hate, and the hate makes them feel better in some very sick way. Then people come out and tell them hate sucks, and they feel we are trying to take away the one thing in their life that has given them meaning, made them felt good.

fuck them.

It's come to a pretty pass when even golf weekly and decanter magazine are openly opposed to to potus.

He is doing such damage to the office of President. Different factions have opposed various presidents - GWB probably brought it to a new level but i dont recall any president being so scorned. No matter who is next there is going to be no respect or admiration, that combined with the culture wars means unstable times ahead for the US.
Bigly sad!

But now is the perfect time to hold another rally!

About the possible subpoena, I wondered why Scrotus was in NY....any valid reason? Or some emergency shredding/ computer wiping/getting stories straight with staff at the tower?

You just may have something there, Peri.

Trump, who for once boasted he had checked his facts, was WRONG. The Charlottesville counter-protesters HAD PERMITS.

Slam dunk!

Although he doesn't really care about sccuracy...

Accuracy ^

A widely-shared image (ond originating from a Trump supporter) supposedly showing an antifa protester hitting a police officer has turned out to be doctored. It's actually from a 2009 protest in Athens, Greece.

Tech companies are waking up

Apple is disabling payment support from websites selling white nationalists’ apparel and paraphernalia

And

Another important tech company has cut ties with neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer.
Internet firm Cloudflare said Wednesday it has terminated the Daily Stormer's account, which means it won't protect the site from cyberattacks that could cause it to go down.
The Daily Stormer site has already been dumped by the web-hosting services of GoDaddy (GDDY) and Google (GOOG) this week after it published a derogatory story about Heather Heyer, who was killed while protesting against a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday.
Cutting off the Daily Stormer is a big deal for Cloudflare, which had long resisted calls to do so. The company had insisted it remained neutral about the content on the sites that used its services.
But Cloudfare CEO Matthew Prince said in a blog post that claims by The Daily Stormer that the tech company secretly supported the neo-Nazi site were the last straw.

Interview with Bannon

On a completely shallow note, does anyone think he looks like he needs a good wash?

So Trump isn't listening to anyone.

He is desperate for The Lurrrrve isn't he. Can't give up a rally

Meanwhile in Australia www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/aug/17/pauline-hanson-wears-burqa-in-australian-senate-while-calling-for-ban

From Bannon's interview:

"Bannon dismissed the far right as “irrelevant”, Kuttner wrote, quoting the Trump aide as saying: “Ethno-nationalism – it’s losers. It’s a fringe element. I think the media plays it up too much, and we gotta help crush it, you know, uh, help crush it more … These guys are a collection of clowns.”:

"Regarding the Democrats, Bannon said: “The longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”"

He's not against them and they serve a purpose. I wonder if he's manipulating them to keep the focus on racism.

He tweeted he was disbanding the Manufacting Council AFTER they had phoned him to say they were disbanding it.

That just smacks of the teenager line "you can't dump me cos I'm dumping you first". What a child he is.

I don't think its fair to call him a child. Most kids have a really good sense of right and wrong. Mine are properly indignant about lots of the issues Trump stands for.
