Trump and His Supporters Are Beyond Redemption


Trump finally made a statement condemning the alt-right Nazis who marched in Charlottesville this past weekend.

Pardon me if I thumb my nose at his insincere too little too late reaction.

Trump had quick enough fingers on his twitter feed when he wrongly accused the mayor of London of telling Londoners not to worry after a recdent terrorist attack.

Why did it take two days for Trump to go after the Nazi filth that marched in Virginia, that caused the death of a young woman and injuries to others? Republican Senators Hatch, Cruz, Grassley, and Rubio didn't hesitate to speak out against the Nazis in Virginia. Why did Trump take two days to do it?

Is Trump afraid of losing the support of his Nazi swine base? The same sort of swine that our grandfathers and grandmothers fought against and died 70 years ago -- the same sort of swine who plunged the world into a devastating war and who murdered 6 million Jews just for being who they are.

Trump can take his fake statement and place it in a very dark place between his very large overfed buttocks.

His fake condemnation is meaningless now because we can see that he was forced into it. A normal president would have spoken out and distanced himself from the pig-alt-right Nazis immediately.

That Trump didn't do it is more evidence of his cowardice and fear of losing the pig-alt-right Nazi support that is his base.

Let this sink in:  The current POTUS was afraid of alienating alt-right pig Nazis, and it took him two days to do what any normal American president or any normal American would have done immediately upon seeing Nazis march in an American city. 

It took Trump two days.





Here's PM Carpenter:

He is beyond redemption. And his own party is seeking the same status.
"I can’t tell you how sick & tired I am of the 'privately wincing' Republicans," tweeted the speechwriting Peter Wehner of three, preceding Republican administrations. "It’s a self-incriminating silence." And then there is this tweet from Norman Ornstein of the conservative American Enterprise Institute:

Much has been made of those Republican pols (senators all) — Orin Hatch, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Chuck Grassley and Cory Gardner — who have taken their wincing public. But that they can be named with such economy is a statement of the rankest partisan cowardice. Sen. Hatch lost a brother to the fight against Nazi hatred and bigotry, and now his party — his once somewhat grand party — is mostly just wincing silently at the gross betrayals of Americanism by the rightly besieged Donald Trump.
Which leads to a self-correction. The Republican Party isn't seeking Trump's beyond-redemption status. It has it locked down good and tight. When Republican pols become so frightened of a vile, numerically insignificant base which nonetheless cannot be repudiated without imperiling their incumbency, then their party has crossed not so much the Rubicon as the river Styx.

Anti-Trump is Anti-Nazi said...

Trump's late condemnation rings hollow. His first reaction was puny and did not go after the Nazis when he had the chance to on Saturday. He was backed into a corner, and he had to do it. He didn't want to becaus in his initial reaction he didn't. Someone wrote that entire speech for him it wasn't his idea if it was he would have expressed those thoughts immediately when the Nazis marched. He didn't. He's a fking phony liar. Always was always will be.

Be patient. Trump is so out of shape, as well as touch, it takes him a long time to stick his finger in his mouth, extract, and check which way the wind is blowing.

I love to watch Trump bury himself deeper and deeper. 😁

Just had time to watch Trump's two day late in coming response to the neo NAZI whire supremacists. Impression? Rehearsed, void of any emotional connection to his words, disingenuous, attempt to again BS folks, etc. In short, DJT as his usual normal self.

I understand his inability to criticize Russia. Has he been laundering money from the white extremists in the US, too?

On the brighter side, it appears that the Nazi rally scheduled for Boston, Saturday is off.

Nazi speakers are cancelling and there are questions about their permit.
