You asked for two and I gave you four.
You're revising history. I don't recall any threads on this board initiated (by anyone) to take issue with Priebus' appointment nor with Bannon's lead on immigration (for the record, he didn't lead on immigration. Trump blustered his anti-immigrant ignorance long before Bannon was on the scene). For that matter, I don't recall any specific criticism from you on any of the four issues above. Not one. Why don't you show the exact posts where did what you say you did?

You've reflexively defended Trump for his equivocation on NeoNazis and the KKK, something not a single Republican politician, thought leader, or business leader has done. Instead, you try to conjure up things you've disagreed with Trump in the past out of thin air.

I plead guilty to goading you into defending Trump's indefensible words and deeds. It's both highly illuminating and entertaining to see how far you are willing to debase yourself in the defense of such an amoral, malignant narcissist.

Post 183 puts the lie to this.

Hiring of Flynn against the advice of the outgoing administration?
Firing Comey?
Only thing I can see what Trump did right was selecting Pence.

Watching Jerry Falwell Jr. pathetically deflecting about his support for Trump. Slimeball.

While Liberty University graduates, including a Class President, are sending their diplomas back to Liberty and are embarrassed to put Liberty U on their resumes.

This is an example of how the fright wing brainwashes their flock by using names that do not represent their mission.
Freedom Caucus, Liberty University!!!
Unfortunately it works with the their followers. Sad.

This is the country that white supremacy produced, so let's have more.
Insanity.

I spend a fair amount of time in West Virginia hiking, camping and sightseeing and it's pretty ironic frequently seeing the Confederate flag flying in a state that was created by breaking off from Virginia in 1863 in order to join the fight against the Confederacy. If this alone isn't evidence enough that the Confederate flag represents racism instead of "heritage," I don't know what is. Dumb asses.
