The Alt-President Chooses His 'Side'
At an insane press conference, Trump blames 'both' sides for the Charlottesville violence.

When Donald Trump asserts that "there's blame on both sides and I have no doubt about it," he has chosen sides and you should have no doubt about it.

The alt-president of the United States completed his polarizing pirouette on Charlottesville on Tuesday, returning foursquare to the morally bankrupt both-sidesism that he bleated out on Saturday before giving a too-little, too-late walk-back Monday.

Trump has now had three chances to react to the weekend’s tragic events. He’s had three opportunities to not only do his job as president of the United States but speak out for his party and himself.

Trump could have expressed moral outrage at Ku Klux Klan members, neo-Nazis, other white supremacists and their fellow travelers violently rallying in Virginia. But this president was less interested in finding words to speak for the country than in lending the bully pulpit to the forces of racism, division and injustice.

"Wait a minute; I'm not finished – I'm not finished fake news," the petulant president chirped at a reporter Tuesday.

Real news: This man is beneath and too small for the office he holds. And the sooner he is finished, the better for the country.

2. If the republican party wasnt the personal play toy of the Koch bros

and/or Vladimir Putin, Trump's impeachment would start today.

But...

They will ride their white power NAZI president to the bitter end, no doubt.

4. Trump brought war to the streets of America yesterday

People are going to die over this. Trump just gave nazis and the KKK a green light to violently attack anyone who opposes them.

Our alt-president is a terrorist supporter and he has their back.

5. Mueller keep on investigating.

Unfortunately people will die over this. But will the Police continue to stand down while these hate groups continue their assault on innocent people.

Trump is assembling his own militia to do his bidding. He needs to go, really.

6. Trump is a clear and present danger to the American government and way of life

Anyone who doesn't get out of his KKK government now will go down in history as the worst kind of hateful traitor to this country IMO

7. if they have conscience they will leave

because they will be taken down. He has shown his "true colours" yesterday. I hate hearing those comments he made he feels he is right and his total disregard for news reporters and journalists is sickening calling it FaKE news I would yell out the only thing fake is him. He will pay dearly for what he is doing to this country and it's people.

I believe in Karma.
