Idiots on the march in Virginia

It was the vast majority of the citizens of Charlottesville were peaceful in the midst of the unnecessary onslaught by the armed neo-Nazis. The events on Saturday in Charlottesville were not about a statue. The residents of Charlottesville are perfectly capable of determining whether a statue in their city should stay or go without any help from the rest of us.

On Saturday, Charlottesville was invaded by an army of thugs intent on making trouble. And they did, including killing a woman and injuring a number of other people. What happened in Charlottesville was a blatant display of bigotry on the part of the the alt-right, KKK, and neo-Nazis. They marched under Nazi flags, gave Nazi salutes, dressed in KKK regalia, and chanted racist and antisemitic slogans. They also arrived armed and equipped for confrontation. Your efforts to draw an equivalency between them and those who oppose him is both laughable and disgusting, as is your President.

You remind me of an Iranian who only has to be given an American flag to burn and that is the depth of his understanding of the world.

Perhaps Finn should simply email you his resume instead of responding directly.

You nailed it. I have no understanding of the world around us. Not a clue.

Well, I think you could spend your time convincing minorities that the only way they can flourish is with the help of some white dude or the government.

You can bet they place no hope whatsoever in the current white dude in the White House.

Might also be helpful to convince them that there is no point in getting an education since the alt right controls everything.

Actually, that's what the GOP has been doing for years - discrediting higher education in the hopes of keeping their base ignorant.

More dumbfuckery from this POOTUS.

"President Trump angrily defended himself on Tuesday against criticism that he did not specifically condemn Nazi and white supremacist groups following the weekend’s deadly racial unrest in Virginia, and at one point questioned whether the movement to pull down statues of Confederate leaders would escalate to the desecration of George Washington.
In a long, combative exchange with reporters at Trump Tower in Manhattan, the president repeatedly rejected a torrent of bipartisan criticism for waiting two days before naming the right-wing groups and placing blame on “many sides” for the violence on Saturday that ended with the death of a young woman after a car crashed into a crowd."
