It's easy and even pleasurable to lay blame on President Trump for white nationalist, but remember; President Obama spent more than a decade in a nationalist church and called it's racist leader his father / mentor.

America is a fair nation, and by our founding documents, we are equal under the law, regardless of our station or abilities.

Do something nice for someone you don't know this week.

I "offensive speech" are not protected by 1a.

Offensive speech is specifically protected. Supreme Court rulings prove it.

You should consider the definition of offensive. It can change based on your location, the people in the room.

I believe red-shirts are a reference to communist.

I was thinking of it as a permutation of "fighting words", which has its own rulings to back up that it is not protected. Not stuff like "yo momma's ugly", offensive in the sense of actually causing harm.

Turkey Closes Border With Syria After Completing 435 Mile Border Wall
Liberals and controlled media all over the world who so vehemently opposed Donald Trump’s plan to build a border wall with Mexico have been totally silent about Turkey’s completion of a 435 mile-long reinforced concrete border wall with Syria—a construction which is 9 feet high, 6 feet wide, 11 inches thick, and topped with barbed wire and 120 observation towers manned by armed soldiers.

1) They aren't allies
2) Their country, their business what they build and where.

I have no problem with their wall. In fact I think it's a great idea, just as I think it's a great idea for Trump to build one.

It's the best way to keep illegal freeloaders and terrorists from coming in.

Media still silent about Gov and Mayor holding police back police in Charoletteville, VA.

You can almost smell the collusion.

They actually just mentioned that live on CNN right now. Gov said militia had better guns. I myself think in this situation and past ones, the police let too much stuff go.

Bullshit, planed response.

This isn't racist debauchery at all.

Another far right whacko

I don't know a republican, conservative or not, who wouldn't vote for Trump again tomorrow against any of the likely marxist, communist running for the DNC.

Marxist, communist? He already had about 3 million or so more voting for the other party, Dems. I have to ask. Is he picking up anybody that didn't vote for him? Or more likely losing some that did? The losing makes sense. He's firing up all kinds of other sides more than his own based on his (lack) of performance so far, hence the record low approval rating. We'll see if he makes it thru the first one and if he runs again. The Dems tho need to find some candidates and figure out their identity. I think Sanders moved them more left than a lot of Dems liked. I said before, we need more strong parties. Dem, Repub, then maybe a Socialist/Sanders type, then maybe a more far right type. I have no idea what direction the Dems want to go in. Do they want to go more left, ala Sanders? Or stay more traditional. Same with Republicans.

 

[johname]

They will run a third party Reb-ish independent to seal Trump's Fate.

Plus tump not going to live like this for 8 years, He won't run again.

And before the election, I told people in real life that who ever wins this election (Hilary or Trump) will be a certain one termer. They both have too sizeable amounts of people that hate them and will never change their minds.

Trump might pull a Bush and try to get USA 'likes' through the military after being politically neutered. I wouldn't want to be a leader of a rogue country shooting off missiles lol

I'd pick Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris. Remember; it not about ability, it about fairness.

Remember how much shit people talked about Trump before he won?

Antifa and black lives matter are the GOP's best friends.

Some pictures say it all. Both sides hate one another. What the MSM is doing is stoking the fire by pretending that the violence is all one sided. That will only exacerbate things. Every second word I hear from CNN is either "White Supremacist" "White Nationalist" "Nazis" "KKK" and Trying to force Trump into blaming just one side and not the other.

Liberal Media is really going berserk over this. They've even forgotten the Russian BS... for now.

Wonder what the old white guy stuck between the 2 black guys is thinking?

They are trying to paint all republicans as alt-right while white washing the left.

The hatred is gonna get worse thanks to the MSM stoking the fire against Conservatives. I personally see it this way: Divide the country in 2: Red and Blue. The Libs can govern themselves the way they want, and the Conservatives the same on their side of the border. No more conflicts.
