Trump Press Conference Q&A on Charlottesville

[liveandletlive]

Either Donald Trump is the dumbest President we've ever had (at the very least the dumbest WHITE MAN in America)

or he is banking on the Alt Right/Nazis to win him 2020, which is very naive and fails in the face of logic.

"Many sides" didn't commit an act of domestic terrorism by trying to mow down protesters with a vehicle.

No one stupid individual did

 

[Raginfridus]

I researched this a few years back.

From 1900 forward, in the United States, IIRC the vast majority of incidents of politically motivated violence have been done at the hands of leftists/anarchists/communists.

Makes complete sense ideologically, because anarchists and Marxists tended to agitate revolution. What I'd dispute is how much violence is motivated by Islamic terror, when Islamic terror is arguably a tool of the US.

 

[Schifference]

I guess perception is skewed. Truth is False. This means That. Free speech with permit means opposition can show up for violence and be exonerated.

If anyone thinks that the alt-right had a right to assemble and speak their hate and the Anti-fa and BLM were wrong for showing up to protest them, you are sadly in the minority.

Fairness is nowhere to be found.

I think the person driving the car into the crowd should be prosecuted and he should have never driven down that road. If he for whatever reason found himself on that road, he should have backed up or turned around and left. No excuse for continuing into that crowded street. He was no better than the people on the left looking for trouble.

Almost everyone thinks Trump is wrong. I think he told it like it is. If you think that too, we are in the minority. No one ever likes to be told like it is. People like to twist everything. People don't like to accept responsibility.

Black people can demand separate housing at school. Black people can demand...... If you are white you are racist. If you point out an inconsistency or flawed reasoning of liberals you are racist.

It does not matter what Trump says because it will be convoluted into something that someone else wants it to mean.

Ron Paul should be grateful that he never became POTUS. Rand should never run for that office again.

Sweet. Trump calls out the left... & McCain too... something you won't see MSM do.

 

[acptulsa]

You act like it's possible to call out the left without calling out McCain.

We're talking about the cosponsor of McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Feingold, and a whole host of other stuff, as well as the Savior of Obamacare...

The only reason the media says he's right is because they think leftists are always right.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Makes complete sense ideologically, because anarchists and Marxists tended to agitate revolution. What I'd dispute is how much violence is motivated by Islamic terror, when Islamic terror is arguably a tool of the US.

All I can go by is what label it was assigned at the time of the incident.

Re-phrase it to say: That is excluding Islamic terrorism state sponsored government terrorism which is much much greater than both combined.

But yeah, there was a great deal of leftist terrorism in the 50s 60s and 70s, much of it sponsored by the USSR, that has been forgotten.

... and yes, agreed... point taken.

That's true. I don't have any concrete examples in mind, but I'm sure Russia to this day sponsor terrorist orgs, ethnic cleansing, and embed their spooks wherever they want. Just like us. Besides the US and Russia, Israel, China, Japan, India, and Saudi Arabia no doubt have deniable ops of similar scale. All the more reason to actually put America First, and let these fools fill our global footprint with their dead.

lets not forget that we're talking about the GOP 2008 presidential nominee as well.

Every talking head has weighed in on Trump's remarks. How come no word from Judge Napolitano?

Maybe he has enough integrity to not participate that way.

 

[William Tell]

Trump discussed the removal of Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson statues. He asks the reporters if they want to remove statues of Washington and Jefferson because those two were slave owners.

“George Washington as a slave owner. So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? Are we going to take down his statue? He was a major slave owner,” Trump said.

Trump makes a good point here.

 

[Schifference]

He was on with Shepard Smith yesterday discussing DOJ wanting information from a group that organizes rally's against Trump.

Yeah, what I mean is, maybe the media is trying to make Trump look bad and the Judge won't go in that direction, so they won't air his opinion on Trump's remarks.

Edit:
And I hope they do investigate those groups and who is funding them.

I am guessing that the network has not asked him because they don't want his answer.

 

[William Tell]

While I don't disagree with Amash, are very fine people allied with Antifa? What is wrong with calling out violent Communists? Almost certainly the leftists were the ones who provoked the reaction. They are violent people pounding on cars, blocking traffic and screaming. Trump saying both sides are bad seems like a very good point.

Sorry, but I disagree with Amash. Our buddy Southron was there and he doesn't hate anybody. He just loves liberty and his local history. Justin is a good guy but he can seem like an annoying liberal sometimes.
