Normally I enjoy the discourse of watching you cuss out anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion exactly.

Makes for fine entertainment.

But if you are obtuse enough to believe what happened yesterday wasn't terrorism.

You need to take a long look in the mirror.

You really think trump's base is made up mostly of nazis? Really?

Do you not realize how strong that statement is? You really think 40%+ of people in this country are white nationalists and nazis

How out of touch are you?

There were white nationliasts/nazis in america long before trump.

You are right however I don't find it entertaining as the Dems and GOPe politicize the situation.

Doesn't matter what I think.

We already know Donald is very very out of touch with reality, so it matters what he thinks.

Why else does he not speak out against them when given the chance.

The Donald had an opportunity to call domestic terrorism just that.


Just curious, do you also apply this label to the violent Antifa protestors?

“Certainly I think we can confidently call it a form of terrorism,” the adviser, Lt. Gen H.R. McMaster, said on NBC's "Meet The Press."

“What terrorism is, is the use of violence to incite terror and fear, and of course it was terrorism.”


You should be really happy now. That's coming from Trump's right hand man on National Security.

I agree he can't satisfy the left

They're unhinged about Trump and will always find some basis for radical action (impeachment, etc.)

But he can do a lot better than he is doing

During the ferguson riots on here and during that whole 6 months of rioting across the country, you said that Obama's refusal to specifically reference BLM was the politically bravest thing you had ever seen from a president.

You said that.

Can't have it just one way, Rob. You want Trump to directly call them out, but you don't say anything during Antifa/BLM protests

Early in this thread the assertion in my OP title is proven correct.

his comments yesterday were disgraceful. I am a registered independent, and his core allegiance with the Alt-Right and Russia are two deplorable affiliations that makes him unfit to lead our nation.

The question is does Trump believe he is the President of half the country or the whole country? Because he sure doesn't come off as caring much about what's best for everyone.

I don't know how it profits him or the country to do what he's doing

I really don't get it

I understand not coming out and rebuking David Duke every time he tries to use Trump to get his name in the news. But the entire country is watching this, and now would be a good time for some leadership.

I think the main reason he can't satisfy anyone in DC is he can't be bought. Our political machine (right or left) has always been follow the money trail and he is wealthy enough not to be bought.

As for this thing in Virginia, how in the hell is it DJT's fault it happened and why is it his problem. This should be handled on the state level at best.

Just MHO.....

This is absolutely irrelevant. You don't do or say the right things because it will satisfy everyone, you do it because it's the right thing.

Condemning white supremacists is something you do because you're a decent person

What is this 'yall' shite? Just because I disagree with you and with Trump doesn't mean I agree with either of those groups in VA yesterday.

Here is the thing, if some Muslim did what we saw yesterday then it would be terrorism. We had a mosque bombing in Minnesota that hasn't been labeled terrorism or even mentioned by Trump. If this happened at Rev Grahams church it would be declared terrorism within 15 minutes.

It's just disappointing that Trump doesn't fight for everyone equally or in some cases at all.
