The man who filmed car ploughing into protesters in Charlottesville has become victim of 'fake news' and targeted by far right groups. So scary how facts get twisted and spread

Interesting Q&A with author of anti fascist handbook, just published ( can't believe that this is needed in 2017 America!)
How times change...

It is still legal to protest in the USA?

A worrying read,

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 24/08/2017 13:07

Very worrying

badbadhusky · 24/08/2017 13:19

I agree - that protestor's account is very worrying. The requested release to access medical records is just urghhh, so intrusive.

LukeCagesWife · 24/08/2017 13:50

Ummm.... trump has just retweeted this.

He is the ultimate fucking troll

Whoops, x post

MicrowaveSpy · 24/08/2017 14:05

His tweets are at least thorough. Bitching about his own party, swipe at Obama, the MSM and blaming the Dems.

I guess that's his work done for the day Hmm

lionheart · 24/08/2017 14:07

He is seriously deranged.

The treatment of the protesters is certianly worrying, from those (now abandoned) attempts to get information from the anti-Trump web site, through to the tear gas used the other night.

Yes microwave he has got a lot of his insecure, narcassistic, petty little chest today.

And we thought Dubya had daddy issues/lack of a brain cell.

I don't find it funny, I am outraged by this spitefulness.

Twitter comments are great though - Sun returns after an eclipse nature.

lettuceWrap · 24/08/2017 14:17

He's on a real twitter frenzy today.

orlantina · 24/08/2017 14:18

What was he saying about a divided nation?

lionheart · 24/08/2017 14:32

Maybe the cringe-making embarrassment of the man will drag him down.

I am raising an alarm.

We are running out of time America.

Full-blown fascism and a potential civil war are at our doorstep.

Look, I know we've been ringing an alarm for a while.

But things are getting serious. Very serious.

Let me outline why.

Meaningless in the grand scheme of things but where would we be without a daily dose of rage:

That eclipse meme and retweet only shows that Obama has been anything but eclipsed.

I'd also point out that after the eclipse the sun is back as strong as ever, while the moon is only noticed in the dark.

He's compared himself to the Moon and Obama to the Sun. Grin

Lweji · 24/08/2017 15:00

More than that, an obstructionist moon.

LukeCagesWife · 24/08/2017 15:02

Lweji lots of twitter replies in that nature. He didn't think that through properly did he Grin

Am busy so lurking, reading the serious, detailed and scary stuff on my commute.

Have time for the childish shit during the day :o)

cozietoesie · 24/08/2017 15:06

I find myself almost feeling a twinge of nostalgia for Dubya.

cozietoesie · 24/08/2017 15:08

Well that's not the market I expected to come back to after going for messages.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 24/08/2017 15:15

He's attacking McConnell which means that in the next few days/weeks someone will leak something and we'll learn that McConnell did something yesterday/today to worry trump. I might be too optimistic but hopefully they've had enough of him
and it's another blow that'll chip
