Hours After Trump Finally Denounced White Supremacists... A Racist Tweet

Jon Queally, staff writer

Late Monday night, just hours after (finally) delivering his "too little, too late" condemnation of "racism...white supremacists...and hate groups"—which critics noted appeared dispassionate and forced—President Donald Trump re-tweeted a message from Jack Posobieca, a well-known rightwing racist and conspiracy theorist, who raised objections to the media's focus on the rampage in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday by an alleged neo-Nazi member who killed on

Note to the Prez (and his Owners)

Distraction Fail.

and

Until you’ve made it UNEQIVOCALLY Clear that you can’t be a a Proud American AND a Nazi, you’ve said NOTHING.

As a popular meme is currently reminding us, “We actually had a War about that.”

Does anyone else think this is a wink and a nod to the extreme right? He is telling them ‘THEY made me denounce you but I am really all in with your hateful and bigoted thoughts and actions’

#4

At this moment in time, we are all witness to how thoroughly entrenched in the Republican Party the White Supremacist ideology is.

#5

We are so very fortunate to have Michael Moore and others who are dedicated to the Truth and to the Common Good! You are a treasure, Michael. Keep up the outstanding work that you do!

I think Trump’s re-action to Charlottesville was planned. He wanted to bring down a firestorm as a distraction to his imminent invasion of Venezuela.

One has to be careful to separate the truth and the legitimate complaints made by the ultra-right wingers from the messages filled with pure hate mongering. The democratic party has a lot of trash and the white supremacist seems to have pointed out some of the DNC’s very questionable practices. I do not think the accusation of running a prostitution ring in Washington DC is far fetched among their other similar dubious activities. That is not to say the GOP is not equally criminal also, albeit on a different track and much worse once they are in power.

And for CD readers, you may well know that there are large, vocal, and successful efforts here in Chicago addressing poverty & gun violence, btw.

"White Supremacists aren’t likely to be our defenders of women and CHILDREN, imo.

Especially when we understand that our sexual abusers of children are MALE and that they
are heterosexual males. Homosexual males are 100X less likely to sexually abuse a child.

As Bobby Baker related of his times in Congress with LBJ, they used prostitution to entrap
other members of Congress in order to blackmail them. They set up Ladies of the Night
and/or Day in Hotel rooms and taped or photographed them.

And as Detective Rothstein has related to Jim Fetzer on YouTube … there have been at
least three investigations into prostitution/pedophile trafficking and rings which were stopped
when the names of higher up’s became known. One of those investigations actually went
all the way to Hearings in Albany before it was stopped.
Rothstein also makes clear that this prostitution/pedophilia was also an issue in Watergate.

LBJ was of course also involved in murders as reported by Billie Sol Estes to Congress.
And we know that post-JFK assassination only those involved in supporting the coup made
it to the White House … and the cover up continues on.

I think it was a child prostitution ring, right? That’s quite different than adults engaging in the world’s second oldest business arrangement.
Even Dean Baker acknowledged Trump’s statements about our terrible trade agreements were accurate.
The biggest problem with Trump is he has absolutely no credibility. On any matter of policy significance, or anything else, including the concerns of the alt-right. He is worthless, they’re worthless and Republicans aligned with them are also worthless, too. And, extremely dangerous to a country becoming more non-white every year. Also,
I don’t think you’ll get many arguments about the failures of certain Democratic Party members around these parts.

I retweeted Bishop Talbert Swan’s tweet. Now my followers can do the same. Our so called president REALLY is a POS.

I’d give your post 10 likes if I could. I keep saying the only people who appear to be distracted about anything are the people who continually want to talk about distractions.

Its been clear from the very beginning of trump’s campaign where the ginger chimps loyalties lie. Its been clear his entire life who and what he is as a human being (please excuse the term in his case) and what he represents which is the very worst of humanity and society!

Now after months of his malignant, destructive rule, those realities have become even more stark, obvious and dangerous. We are in the grip (so far) of the most ignorant, bigoted, shallow, extremist, arrogant mental case, and stupid person ever to inhabit the WH!

Our future as a republic and society ostensibly Of, By and For the people, with equality, liberty and justice for all - even as weak, corrupted, and largely non-existent, those deceits/fantasy’s have been and are - even that shadow is now disintegrating, becoming a sick joke under this idiots blind ego-mad rule

Unless this truly evil, morally bankrupt, repugnant person is removed from office and his R’Con, fascist, lap-dog sycophants with him - (include the complicit pathetic DNC DINO craven corporate-whore sellouts as well) - our future, and perhaps the rest of the world, is threatened in so many ways by this fool as never before…

Yes it’s well established truth that the US authorities planned and executed JFK and others. I would add to that the demolition and murdering of some 3 to 4 thousand Americans in WTC twin towers destruction and the phony war on terror that have ensued.

I agree and think prostitution should be legalized everywhere as a legitimate business but child prostitution is heinous and satanic. I have children and the thought shivers me timbers angers me to the core.

#21

thats quite a path to a petition to censure Trump

#22

Maybe the Alt-Righters like Flynn, who helped spread this disgusting smear, will do real time in Federal prison if Mueller indicts and a jury convicts.
Less than 225 days in and Trump’s managed chaos knows no end. And, he likes that part of governing most of all.
