White Nationalists march on University of Virginia (3 Viewers)

[OrtonToOlsen]

I did not. I wasn't going to vote for either of them anyway. Neither of them would help this country anyway, and besides, I have my family to take care of. No president will help that.

So odd.

 

[NREC34]

I do agree that it would be bad with Hillary. All the Trump lovers would be unimaginablely annoying for four years. 

She did have the experience to do the job though and Bill would've helped her. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

And that's exactly what you'd expect from Duke.  The guy is vermin.

Ha, yeah, as we well know, probably not a good idea to cite him as evidence of anything.

 

[Sammy3469]

Somehow the WH makes it even worse with this statement:

[Kal El]

So odd.

If you think a political party or figure is actually going to help, I have some bad news for you.

Obama would give them healthcare, a free phone and cheese.

 

[The General]

I was wrong earlier Trump kind of botched that speech. Should have been so easy.

What are all the sides of this that should take blame?

For you people early on who parsed the hell out of Obama's response to BLM can you chime in please?

 

[Dedfin]

Apparently the driver of the grey challenger is in custody now.  At least he or she is off the streets now.

 

[cosjobs]

I quit watching Fox News after they aired this ad.

As a nation, were [redacted] if this product is being advertised to voters. Seriously.

 I wonder if I can cancel my order

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

If you think a political party or figure is actually going to help, I have some bad news for you.

So why are you in the Politics Forum?

 

[Kal El]

Obama would give them healthcare, a free phone and cheese.

They had healthcare that was affordable, they're too young for phones, and I can buy cheese.

^This reminds me of the statement on antisemitism from the WH a few months ago. There's a Duke-type race game player in the WH, maybe it's Bannon, maybe it's Miller, but someone crafts these little couching statements very carefully so as to not offend certain people.

 

[Kal El]

So why are you in the Politics Forum?

Commenting on political topics with my opinion. Did I have to be in a party to do so?

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

You said no political party or figure is going to help.  Why even bother participating or discussing?

 

[mcintyre1]

I'll give some props to Fox News, reporter on the ground said that, "if reports are correct" this was an instance of domestic terrorism by white nationalists. Has more balls than the President, apparently.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Our President is actually playing the lead on this movement. 

 

[Kal El]

You said no political party or figure is going to help.  Why even bother participating or discussing?

Because it is up to the individual. I am responsible for what I do, and I try to make my corner of the world a better place.

He'll be fired in the audit

I'm totally OK with torture before getting his statement. 

 

[TobiasFunke]

I did not. I wasn't going to vote for either of them anyway. Neither of them would help this country anyway, and besides, I have my family to take care of. No president will help that.

Maybe next time you should think about other people's families too.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Here we are 70 years removed from WW2 and some people are talking about appeasing Nazi sympathizers.

 

[Henry Ford]

Sure does seem like this country's chock full of racist, misogynistic, xenophobic scumbags sometimes. 

 

[Henry Ford]

Here we are 60 years removed from WW2 and people are talking about appeasing people who identify with the Nazi movement.

My grandfather once told me the best way to make a deal with a Nazi. 

 

[Mister CIA]

Anyone have dibs on the word Heehawdists?

ETA: Google says yes

 

[packersfan]

Sure does seem like this country's chock full of racist, misogynistic, xenophobic scumbags sometimes. 

On the bright side there's no way in hell one would ever be elected President.

Thank God for that. 

 

[cosjobs]

I'm totally OK with torture before getting his statement. 

no

 

[Kal El]

Maybe next time you should think about other people's families too.

That's their responsibility. I offer my opinion, but I will not order them to do something. 

 

[Mavis]

Sure does seem like this country's chock full of racist, misogynistic, xenophobic scumbags sometimes. 

I'm just so sad for my country. These people call themselves Americans and think they are doing this in the name of freedom, when in actuality they are being the exact people this country fought to separate from. 

 

[Sand]

Ha, yeah, as we well know, probably not a good idea to cite him as evidence of anything.

Just my personal hatred of the guy showing through.  I can't think of a more odious individual.  

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Here we are 70 years removed from WW2 and some people are talking about appeasing Nazi sympathizers.

Eh, hate to tell you people were saying that 70-80 years ago too.

 

[Mister CIA]

My grandfather once told me the best way to make a deal with a Nazi. 

Bring two along so they don't drink all your beer?

 

[packersfan]

no

Sorry. I am. There are a few things in life where I believe such punishment is justified. This would be one of them. 

 

[SacramentoBob]

Can someone tell me the difference between driving a car into a crowd of people in Nice and driving a car into a crowd of people in Charlseton?  Requirement: You have to do it while keeping a straight face.

 

[TobiasFunke]

That's their responsibility. I offer my opinion, but I will not order them to do something. 

So basically you're as unwilling to oppose Nazis as the White House.  Cool.  Thanks for stopping by.  We'll take it from here.

 

[Henry Ford]

England put a tax on tea, they didn't lead a racist campaign of violence.  

They'd already abolished slavery over there 4 years before the Declaration of Independence. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Just my personal hatred of the guy showing through.  I can't think of a more odious individual.  

Absolutely, Louisianans know what this #### is first hand. And we know it can threaten to tear a society apart.

 

[Henry Ford]

Well, it was war time.  His deal was explained to me a few times, as I recall it was "I will kill them, and they will stay dead.  No Nazi ever broke a deal with me.  Very trustworthy."

 

[Mavis]

The Civil War? Separate? I understand the confusion, guess it could have been clearer on my part. 

 

[cosjobs]

Calm down. If you condone it in any form it will come back to haunt you.Punishment is justified. Torture before trial is not okay

 

[SacramentoBob]

Well, it was war time.  His deal was explained to me a few times, as I recall it was "I will kill them, and they will stay dead.  No Nazi ever broke a deal with me.  Very trustworthy."

Sounds like a deal Trump would be proud of.

 

[Henry Ford]

The Civil War? Separate? I understand the confusion, guess it could have been clearer on my part. 

Ah, yes.  My apologies. Well.  They are in Virginia.

Yeesh. 

Congratulations on the stock market though, guys. Totally worth it.

 

[culdeus]

How did the driver get away?  Running or driving?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Here's your transport-to-1933 moment, folks.

Imagine having a conversation with a nice respectable, upper middle class society type in a nice living room over beers or wine, and she turns to you and says, 'But, on the other hand, Duke does make some good points."

 

[packersfan]

Calm down. If you condone it in any form it will come back to haunt you.Punishment is justified. Torture before trial is not okay

Sorry. While I aspire to be a better individual the reality is there are some things I will support or at least not disavow. I'm just being honest. 

 

[Henry Ford]

Calm down. If you condone it in any form it will come back to haunt you.Punishment is justified. Torture before trial is not okay

Gentlemen, I would like to mediate this dispute. I propose torture during trial. 

 

[packersfan]

Gentlemen, I would like to mediate this dispute. I propose torture during trial. 

This is why compromise is a great tactic.

I'll sign off on this.

 

[Kal El]

Wow. Evel Knievel couldn't have made that leap. There is a colossal difference between not ordering people to vote a particular way and standing up to injustice. If a Nazi shows up in my neighborhood and threatens my friends, they will leave in a box. 

 

[SacramentoBob]

Anytime an attorney gets overruled, it's with a taser?  I like it.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Do you not consider Americans, in general, to be your neighbor?
