This Trump called nazis find people thing is a lie. A lie you are now participating in, because you've already been shown once that its false. You don't have plausible deniablity now.


No, he has called Nazis fine people. At the Unite the Right rally, there were no non-white supremacists on the side of the right-wing violence. There were only fascists and fascist collaborators (also known as fascists). Meanwhile, the 'other side' was made up of anti-fascist protestors, and I happen to believe (and you might disagree) that anti-fascism is morally superior to fascism, and that even violent anti-fascists should be held in higher regard than violent fascists.

Besides, can you explain why so many white nationalists and fascists support Trump?


This is again, a bald faced lie. Though I find it funny how conveniently you can know for a certain fact that there were no non-nazis at Charlottesville, but then in these BLM riots have killed more people than charlottesville did but we're supposed to see the shades of gray.

Nah. Stop with the propaganda and recognize you're just flat out wrong. The world isn't divided into people you agree with and literally Nazis.

I find myself thinking of Vergniaud as I think about the Republican Party and its development over the last three decades on the eve of the election that could cement their consolidation of an authoritarian regime dominated by a white bourgeois ultra-Christian minority of the American people. "And so, citizens, it must be feared that the Revolution, like Saturn, successively devouring its children, will engender finally only despotism, with the calamities that accompany it." Gingrich, Cantor, Bush, Boehner, McCain, Romney, Ryan, Palin, McConnell, Trump... anyways. Not sure where this thought was going since I'm a little tipsy, but I find myself extremely distressed about the state of the republic or whatever.

Steve Cortes? Really? I am surprised a member of trumps election committee and adviser on hispanics is defending trump. I remember Cortes. He was such a trump fanboi; he was all but calling CNN fake news. They booted his ass when his trump support became a joke.

He is what he is; a talking head.

For this, he was fired from CNN.

Cue the smears and assassinations of Cortes' character.


Oh he wasn’t fired for Charlottesville, he was fired for being and over the top fanboi trump talking head. He didn’t offer data; he did talking points and quickly retreated to whataboutism and character attacks. Hmmm I wonder if he hangs out here. Anyway, he got to be so annoying you wished they would turn off his mic. Kayleigh McEnany was the same and look where she ended up.

CNN was right to get rid of him. Santorum of all people; defended trump and at least offered arguments. He is actually far more interesting then Cortes. I should also mention; I really don’t care for Santorum.....

Actually, you did NOT literally quote his speech, so that is a little lie. But only a little because Trump indeed said the Neonazis present at said event should be condemned a few sentences later - and condensing the quotes into one does not really change the meaning.

However; the point is that Trump knows perfectly well (almost) everyone present on the event was a neonazi or supremacist. Saying "there were fine people there" is implying it was an innocent event where a few stray nazis just happened to walk past instead of an event organised by nazis for nazis to do nazistuff.

Yeah I bet a bunch of non racists showed up and saw a giant mob of nazis and the KKK and said "yeah we'll march with these guys." And as they were marching and yelling "BLOOD AND SOIL" the non racists were like "Now wait a minute guys, let's not be so confrontational."

There were no non racists at that rally, okay? No one who is truly non racist is gonna March side by side with the fucking KKK.

Aclion, why this thing in particular are you so determined to defend Trump on? You could have said "yeah, it's unfortunate how he said that" or some similar non-apology, and changed the subject to something else he has said or done. Maybe Trump wasn't completely in the wrong on the Charlottesville riot and murder, but trying to make him completely in the right is beyond human ability.

I thought the first press conference where he announced CDC guidelines for people to now wear masks was pretty good. Americans will likely say it came too late, but here in Australia the guidelines were still "don't wear masks, they take away from medics who need them" and it didn't seem to occur to anyone that a cloth mask is better than no mask at all.

Whenever your quoting trump you have to paraphrase out the waffle, it's simply a consequence of the way he speaks. But no I didn't twist his words or take them out of context. The meaning remains unchanged "their were fine people on both side, and I'm not taking about those nazis" and its in context. The context is extremely important here because its important to note that this is the same speech the very fine people lie is coming from.
