...they know how to act the part as if they care ...they don't, republicans lie! And just as many of us questioned trumpf's genuineness yesterday, today we just heard a LIAR!

And just as Romney, Pence and all other republikkklans voiced their outrage, they'll continue to support policies, and yes racist and bigoted policies against lgbt, nonwhite, nonchristian, immigrants and refugees ...watch what they do not what they say..that's the hypocracy, that's the lie.

He went far enough. He went far enough to make people have to stop and think a second and that is exactly what we need right now, people to stop and think for a second.

No I agree with Mitt on this and disagree with you on this.

But I'm convinced he worked with Russia to steal the election, so I'm hoping there's something there...illegal money deals or something...between him & Russia, which would be grounds.

a believer in eugenics, a propagandist, and a criminal. The nazis were a criminal organization disguised as a political party. Everything trump does is right out of "mien Kemp," and the history of brown shirts and SA tactics and strategy in Germany in the 1920s and 30s.

The whole thing in Charlottesville was planned well in advance, trump was previously scheduled to be there ostensibly for a bill signing, and how convenient that the obersturmbahnfurher miller and reich chancellor bannon were able to mobilize their bacilli to show up and give trump an excuse give them support. This is a standard nazi tactic, as is the "oh, it's their fault too," line.

It's always somebody else's fault.


If we don't stop these repulsive assholes right at the beginning, we never will. And that begins with calling them by name, calling them what they are, and standing up to them honestly. They can't withstand honesty, because they don't understand it.

There are politicians who one may disagree with ideologically, but few are as morally corrupt as the abomination currently soiling the WH with his presence.

Trump has no moral compass, he's a dishonorable man.

Mr. President – we must call evil by its name,” Gardner said in one tweet after the violence that erupted Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. “These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism.”


In another tweet, Gardner stated: “Praying for those hurt & killed today in Charlottesville. This is nothing short of domestic terrorism & should be named as such.”

While denouncing Nazism with lightning speed is admirable (assuming they are genuine), some of them doth protest too much, methinks... Especially folks like Hatch and Huckabee, who are probably wearing hoods in their homes right now...
