What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

Lol, a tweet further down that chain notes that Trump removed the word integrity from his family crest!

The one he ripped off the previous owner of his golf course?

Again can't figure out how to get the video out of the Tweet, but June 23, 2015 Trump says Confederate flag should be taken down and put in a museum.

What an absolute cunt

Trump erected a FAKE MONUMENT ON HIS GOLF COURSE to memorialize A FAKE CIVIL WAR BATTLE feat. HIS FAMILY CREST https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/25/us/politics/in-renovation-of-golf-club-donald-trump-also-dressed-up-history.html?_r=0

Ok, maybe violence can be justified.

How the fuck can Russians of all people be Nazi apologists?

They hate Jews too.

Why I am not surprised you seem to have a spreadsheet for this bullshit?

Look, I did not invent it, it exists:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_Soviet_Union
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_Russia

What am I supposed to do, deny it exists?  Pretends communists and their successors where all nice guys seeking to get along peacefully with their neighbours?  Sorry, I don't buy russian/communist propaganda.

Dems preparing to run against Pence in 2020

I'm sure they're doing their due diligence as this is a possibility.  However I'm sure that the reason they're publicizing it is to troll Trump.

You could stop being a piece of garbage, but I would never expect someone to change from who they really are.

Subject: Personal note from James Murdoch re: ADL

Friends,

I'm writing to you in a personal capacity, as a concerned citizen and a father. It has not been my habit to widely offer running commentary on current affairs, nor to presume to weigh in on the events of a given day save those that might be of particular or specific concern to 21CF and my colleagues. But what we watched this last week in Charlottesville and the reaction to it by the President of the United States concern all of us as Americans and free people.

These events remind us all why vigilance against hate and bigotry is an eternal obligation — a necessary discipline for the preservation of our way of life and our ideals. The presence of hate in our society was appallingly laid bare as we watched swastikas brandished on the streets of Charlottesville and acts of brutal terrorism and violence perpetrated by a racist mob. I can't even believe I have to write this: standing up to Nazis is essential; there are no good Nazis. Or Klansmen, or terrorists. Democrats, Republicans, and others must all agree on this, and it compromises nothing for them to do so.

Diverse storytellers, and stories, can make a difference, and that diversity, around the world, is a crucial strength and an animating force in my business. Often times not everyone agrees with the stories and positions that emerge from this, and that can be difficult. Certainly no company can be perfect. But I'm proud of the powerful art that can emerge, and I'm grateful to all of my colleagues who make this happen. From the potent and compelling narrative of "12 Years a Slave", to the streets of Pakistan and the bravery of an extraordinary young woman that we saw in "He Named Me Malala", to name just a few, we've never been afraid to help storytellers and artists say important things – hard things, too.

To further demonstrate our commitment, Kathryn and I are donating 1 million dollars to the Anti-Defamation League, and I encourage you to give what you think is right as well. We hardly ever talk about our charitable giving, but in this case I wanted to tell you and encourage you to be generous too. Many of you are supporters of the Anti-Defamation League already – now is a great time to give more. The ADL is an extraordinary force for vigilance and strength in the face of bigotry – you can learn more here: https://www.adl.org. My very best to you and with all my gratitude,

JRM

I was curious so I finally read the wiki page of the Ku Klux Klan. 

So these are the dudes that Trump tried to defend.  That's crazy even by Trump standards

As a positive view on all this, seeing the national uproar over the nazis, and  the local government and civil actions against these statues, especially how for the latter people take responsibility and give themselves up, seem to show me that these actions are not signs of the far-right being stronger than usual, but rather, going on a desperate offensive sensing the times getting past them.

If society manages to avoid being provoked into creating an environment that prefers these scumbags (e.g. Street violence on political grounds, hysteria and witch hunts), and just continue on the positive road we have been on the past couple of decades, the far-right, in the developed world at least, will lose.

Come on now. He didn't defend the KKK. He defended Nazis with actual swastikas on their flags.

Is it that hard politically to say that Nazis are bad?  I really don't get this.

No it is not. He just either agrees with them, or believes that he will need their support to stay in power. Probably both.
