most people know The culture of racist identity politics and political violence did not start with Donald Trump, or the right. It was being done by the left before Trump was even elected
Only political extremists are pleased with tRump's failure to condemn Nazis.

Trumplings:

DO NOT READ THIS! Deep cognitive dissonance may result:

“He didn’t attack us,” crowed The Daily Stormer, a white supremacist website, about Mr. Trump’s statement after the two days of racist demonstrations. “Refused to answer a question about White Nationalists supporting him. No condemnation at all. When asked to condemn, he just walked out of the room. Really, really good. God bless him.”

Carry on.

The funny thing is that the very thing the liberals are wetting themselves over is the VERY thing Obama did many times during his presidency. I don't know why anyone is surprised... the left has a very predictable pattern of hypocrisy. Wrong is wrong ONLY when it supports their warped agendas.

David Duke Tweet:
So, after decades of White Americans being targeted for discriminated & anti-White hatred, we come together as a people, and you attack us?http://www.businessinsider.com/david...e-rally-2017-8

David Duke and his followers are delusional and misunderstood Trumps desire to rid the country of illegal immigration with loving only white people. It's not the first time David Duke was delusional and it won't be the last. The fact that so many people listen to the KKK over the president of the United States is a scarier thought. How bad do you want the president out of the white house? Bad enough to listen to delusional extremist leaders? Going as far as to pretend he is the secret leader of the KKK is ludicris? Come on now, conspiracy theories only have their place on late night television.

Well you can rest assured now that David and his buddies are on your side and don't like Trump anymore. He's just not "white" enough for them. Aw, shucks!

Are you saying you can finally see the conspiracy? Maybe Trump is secretly texting back and forth with them. Sending secret I love you texts?


A majority of Americans believe that the government is concealing information about the 9/11 attacks, one new survey suggests.

And that’s not the only conspiracy theory believed by a wide swath of Americans: Around 40 percent believe the government is hiding information about aliens, the John F. Kennedy assassination and global warming. Conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination abound, and scientists say these ideas have become embedded in the very culture surrounding his death, with heaps of TV shows, books and movies on them. [Top 10 Conspiracy Theories Explained]


Is Donald Trump a closet KKK member???? Da da da daaaaaaaah! lol

Trump's handlers apparently hammered into his head that he was in much bigger trouble than usual, by his lack of a denouncement about white supremacists. So today, he read a statement, written for him by others, that was delivered with a deadpan tone, intended to get his critics off his back. He was not convincing. He took no questions from members of the media.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised, to learn he has done some back-channel communication with this scurrilous segment of his supporters, making sure they knew that he didn't really mean it, but that it was necessary to maintain power.

Quite the contrary. Trump will never get past the fallout of his failure to state these things in a timely manner. A whole new level of opposition to him has been fired-up, by many of his own party. And when he did read those words today, he sounded as sincere as a talking parrot.

Yep! Trump is a narcissist whose knee jerk response is, "Where is my bread best buttered?" And, of course, his most faithful have been those who have gotten his message that what normally, in decent society, is not OK, with Trump is. Racism, sexism, violence, outrageous behavior. He's self-serving enough to try to play one way for his faithful and then to deny doing so to those who call him out on it. (Pathological liars do that.) Sometimes he can pull off the ruse, but most often not. He just aint that slick when he attempts the wink: wink communication to his base and the warped. Ya don't have to be that astute to get Trump's game. Doesn't fool us when he attempts to don his sheep's clothing. We know it's still Trump in there and he hasn't changed.

Trump as a true-blue sociopath has no real conscience of his own. It takes the hard squeeze put on him from the outside by those who do have integrity and decent values---which he doesn't know from--- or at least major influence, to do the right thing. Right and wrong, not his frame of reference. Just what benefits him the most and can he have it both ways.

Trump is a lifelong manipulator who games people. And, he's basically a bombastic coward. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so long with the birther idiocy. He would just boldly and abrasively have called Obama a hateful name. His baser base would have cheered. But that would have been it. Think of how much more mileage he got for so much longer and from so many more by playing the "birther" game. Feeding his voracious, insatiable ego all the while.

If Trump weren't Trump and all that negative, dysfunctional energy of his were actually converted and harnessed for good, he could be a force to be reckoned with. Instead he's just a pathetic symbol of dysfunction, core mean-spiritedness, division, manipulation and wretched ego. A sad waste of humanity and power. Like appeals to like.
