Lol, this dude is taking a massive L this week.

The woman who died was a Bernie supporter & had Bernie photos as her FB cover photo. Doesn't make her life anymore precious just because she is on the right side.

But she got politically engaged & resisted & paid with her life.

To die over exercising your political rights of free speech is so sad.  The government needs to crack down on these radical right wing militas.  Round them up now.  They disgust me.

We can't...Trump and the GOP eliminated all funding for stopping homegrown right wing terrorist groups

I'm sure it was all just a coincidence tho

There are plenty of available tools for law enforcement to use.

Gitmo is still open.

The general sentiment is pretty good but that's still a stupid writing full of bad examples and inaccuracies. This part made me cringe:

"There is no travel ban on them because of their religion."

There isn't for anybody. It could've been accurate and just as relevant changing "religion" to "national origin" so why not do that?

That and the burning churches/oppression of white Christians part. He forgot about the fervent anti-Catholicism that lasted for centuries, and guess who helped pioneer it? The KKK.

So, who wants to bet Charlottesville becomes a watershed historical moment that helps define the Trump era? Seems a good bet.

I think it will be a turning point.

Honestly, it reminds me a bit of Birmingham in 63. Granted, it is not to that scale, but the imagery an videos from yesterday are awful.

Open and out there racism is just something all Americans are appalled by.

Glad this Nazi was identified, and lost his job.
Hope many others just like him, find the same fate.

It speaks volumes that dead0man hasn't commented in this thread once lol.

Unbelievably bad take:

His first major domestic test and he failed miserably.

This will probably hurt his numbers in a manner disproportionate to its significance, as it 1. As you said, is his first domestic test 2. It reinforces and makes more credible a pre-existing reputation of his and 3. It gives a convenient point for his soft support to jump ship

Maybe I'm cynical but I don't think he's going to lose any support from this. He'll keep hovering in the high 30's unless the Russia stuff escalates into an impeachment level event or there's some kind of foreign policy disaster like nuking NK for no justifiable reason.

How ironic a Nazi got started in Weimer (Weimar)'s classroom.

[Crumpets]

A short, rather strange interview with a woman who identified herself as the mother of the attacker. Apparently, she hadn't heard of the attack until the interviewers told her about it:

Looks like the US-version of Themar. Just without the right-rock tunes ...

Hmm, not Themar after all ...

It seems contrary to the German police, the Virginia police had no clue or a coherent plan how to shield the two groups from each other.

The US police needs a clear event plan for future scenarios !

What happened yesterday sucks and hurts.

Probably because many of us think Trump's ban has nothing to do with the nations in question and everything to do with religion. I.e he couldn't ban Muslims, so he did the closest thing to that that he could get away with.

I suppose this was predictable.  It's also disgusting.  Reported by Will Sommer of The Hill:

"I didn't know it was a white supremacist rally, I thought it was a Trump rally"

Well lady, you see the thing about that is...

Tiki torches are so scary amirite??

Do they even realize that tiki torches are a Polynesian thing? Although I wouldn't expect anything more from a group with an average IQ of 30
