White supremacists and counter protesters clash in Charlottesville

[Whateverist]

Trump's on ABC and CNN right now, speaking about this.

Hatred and violence "on many sides"

A car deliberately runs into a crowd at 40 mph, killing one and maiming many more, and our Commandant & Thief paints the hatred and violence on both sides as equivalent.  Total.  Scum.

Plus he talked about the VA and unemployment numbers and then ran out of the room.

He's a piece of shit with legs.

The entire country is going insane.

I did not think it possible for my opinion of the WLB to sink any lower.

I was wrong.

This is what the right does not get. I don't mean the far gone right, I mean the middle of the road economic right and swing voters. 

This isn't the same as riots after a cop shoots a black man. This is simply the far right holding the entire party hostage. The GOP has sold fear and bigotry for decades, then when they are met with opposition they try to paint the reaction as equal.

It should be about economics. There are poor rural whites too. There are white middle class struggling as well. But what the GOP has done successfully and unfortunately is convinced just enough of the economic right and religious right that their social order is being upset. That party wants us back to the days prior to desegregation.

There is no "equal" going on here. There is simply the GOP pandering to voting base that cannot accept that times have changed.

Second degree murder is the charge, along with "malicious woundings".

I'd give my own life for the world to be a better place for all. Oh, wait, that didn't work last time, either.



The Chump sure managed to turn over a lot of rocks to give the slime living underneath some time in the sun. Here's hoping that that sunshine will wither that slime into dust.

Trump's response was predictable. Anyone hoping for anything more than a false equivalence from him had his own head either in the clouds or up his ass.

Long time, no see.  How's life treating you?

I'm sure this is all Hillary and Obama's fault or something.
