"Trump remained defiant on Thursday, castigating his critics in early-morning tweets, claiming he was misrepresented by the media."Trump isolated as US military, business and political leaders condemn racism.
US President Donald Trump found himself more isolated than at any point in his presidency on Thursday, cast aside by business allies, condemned by prominent Republicans and the subject of a rare, if coded rebuke from two living predecessors.
The backlash over his failure unequivocally to condemn racism and white supremacy, in the aftermath of violent far-right protests in Charlottesville at the weekend, culminated in the rancorous dissolution of two business advisory panels and an avalanche of condemnation from across the political spectrum.
But members of Trump's administration, some of whom privately expressed exasperation over his self-inflicted crisis, remained loyal in public.
Vice President Mike Pence, who unexpectedly cut short a visit to South America to return for meetings at the Camp David presidential retreat, said he stood by Trump and his comments.
Republicans were divided in their response.
Some condemned Trump by name, but others confined themselves to more general disavowals of racism and white supremacy.
Trump remained defiant on Thursday, castigating his critics in early-morning tweets, claiming he was misrepresented by the media.
The crisis was ignited by Trump's equivocal response to the violence at a "Unite the Right" gathering in Charlottesville on Saturday.
A woman was killed and more than 30 people injured after a car, driven by a "Unite the Right" supporter, rammed into a crowd of counter-protesters.
Trump first blamed "many sides" for the trouble, before issuing a fuller condemnation of the violence and white supremacy on Monday.
But on Tuesday, at an impromptu Q&A at Trump Tower in New York, reverted to his initial equivocation, saying there was "blame on both sides."
His response has been widely condemned by political leaders across the country as well as internationally.
Hey psycho, he accurately said there were good people on both sides, other than the racists and ANTIFA. That's factually true.Misty » 17 Aug 2017 5:01 pm » wrote:Let's see how Clem blames the Liberal MSM for this:

Misrepresented by the media?
Does he not know that we can hear what comes out of his mouth for ourselves?

Are you to blame for ugly comments on this website? Great. You're a racist.![]()
But psychopath that you are, you'll deny what's obvious common sense.
So why do you suppose that he is being rebuked by business leaders, military leaders, members of his own party, and two former presidents?Termin8tor » 17 Aug 2017 5:04 pm » wrote:Hey psycho, he accurately said there were good people on both sides, other than the racists and ANTIFA.

You lied about both and so did the corrupt liberal MSM.

Oh, so you're condemning Breitbart for allowing open free speech.Misty » 17 Aug 2017 5:17 pm » wrote: Again, we are not talking about political forums.
We are talking about a site that calls itself a NEWS site.
So stop dishonestly trying to conflate the two.
Name one legitimate NEWS site that would allow a long string of those kinds of filthy racist comments to stand.
And I don't mean one of your wingnut sites, I mean a legitimate NEWS outlet.
I won't hold my breath.
Why do I suppose a psychopath like you will lie and smear and refuse to accept the proven facts?Misty » 17 Aug 2017 5:14 pm » wrote: So why do you suppose...

See, if you're a "news" website, you can't allow free speech. You must censor what you don't like.
So by her idiotic reasoning, Breitbart cannot get credit for the reasonable, non-racist articles they write.
But they can be blamed for what's in the comments section.![]()
Liberals rig the game in more ways than I want to count.
Please note that Misty like many on the leftwing moonbat side loves to play the Hitler/NAZI card against others. She is so disgusting to use that label associated with the holocaust, medical experiments, torture, etc. etc. She sinks to that level of depravity in her name calling. Lower than whale dung!!! You should hang your demented head in shame for using that label!!!Misty » 16 Aug 2017 11:44 am » wrote: Nazi appeaser.

And people put out written statements or write things on Social Media that come straight from them without being filtered through the media.
This is the very reason why Sir Tweets-A-Lot uses Twitter, so he can bypass the media and talk straight to his brainwashed zombie followers like you.
Somebody needs to take that giant red crayon of yours and shove it up your *** without lube you crazy son of a bitch.
You're too crazy to be running around loose.
You should be locked up in a padded room in a **** straight jacket.
Stay the **** out of my thread with your lunacy!


It looks like 45's lawyer knows as much about history as he does.Trump’s Lawyer Peddles Pro-Confederacy Talking Points Email, May Literally Be Your Racist Uncle
You know how your kinda, sorta racist uncle sometimes forwards you things?
Donald Trump’s lawyer—shockingly—is just like that.
On Wednesday, the New York Times got hold of an email forwarded by President Trump’s personal lawyer John Dowd that, in part, consists of a patently absurd ahistorical comparison between Robert E. Lee and George Washington—not to mention Napoleon and Shaka Zulu.
I know that all sounds a bit circuitous, but just give it a second.
The email Dowd deemed worthy enough to forward carried the subject line “The Information that Validates President Trump on Charlottesville” and presented itself as talking points for Trump’s response to Charlottesville, during which, in an effort to never admit he’s wrong, Trump has painted him into a corner where the only escape hatch is arguing the leader of the Confederate Army is the real hero here.
“You cannot be against General Lee and be for General Washington,” the email reads, “there literally is no difference between the two men.”
The talking points read like a dystopian SAT question.
“You’re sticking your nose in my personal email?” Mr. Dowd told the Times in response to questions about the email.
“People send me things. I forward them.”
Just like your racist uncle.
One difference here is that this is the president of the United States’ lawyer.
A second point of interest is that Dowd didn’t just send the crackpot equivalency to his family (although he also sent it to them), according to the Times, he also relayed it to the Wall Street Journal editorial page and journalists at Fox News and the Washington Times.
What about the author of the email made the president of the United States’ lawyer think it was worth flagging the Wall Street Journal editorial page?
“The email’s author, Jerome Almon, runs several websites alleging government conspiracies and arguing that the F.B.I. has been infiltrated by Islamic terrorists,” according to the Times.
“He once unsuccessfully sued the State Department for $900 million over claims of discrimination.” Seems legit. Sign him up. Perhaps he has some ideas on health care reform.
You may be wondering how someone like Almon, who is black incidentally, came to be in touch with the president’s lawyer.
The answer is the most Trumpy thing ever.
“Mr. Almon said he sent the email to follow up on a phone call he had last week with Mr. Dowd,” according to the Times.
“He said he had called to offer damaging information about James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, and to provide other information about the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation into the Trump campaign.”
A veritable legal dream team Trump's got going here.

NO RACIST OR NAZI APPEASERS ALLOWED!

So 45 knows that the story is not true, but he Tweeted about it today, and Corey Lewandowski obviously has no idea what an 'analogy' is.Donald Trump has told a false war story of an American general using bullets dipped in pig's blood while executing Muslims a century ago several times on the campaign trail — and knew it was false the whole time.
Corey Lewandowski, Trump's former campaign manager who was let go on Monday, told The Washington Post Trump was aware the story wasn't true.
"It's not about that," Lewandowski told the Post during an interview before he was fired.
"Look, it's an analogy."
