notice how he blasted the black CEO from stepping down but hasn't said word one about the white CEOs doing the same thing. 

 

You know how he doesn't like us darkies gettin' uppity.

An interesting article on Democrats' efforts to reconnect with working class voters.

I'm resigning from the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative because it's the right thing for me to do.

This announcement came just 16 minutes after Trump called the CEOs who quit his Council "grandstanders". https://t.co/QDrEyLaLSH

Trump says he has many CEOs to replace the ones who left his Council.

3 have left since yesterday. No replacements have been named yet. https://t.co/470m8m8OiK

For every CEO that drops out of the Manufacturing Council, I have many to take their place. Grandstanders should not have gone on. JOBS!

As always, a grain of salt:

Wouldn't change a damn thing anyway.

Yeah, that's why I used the word "dubious" because on the one hand, Trump's arm is clearly being twisted- as it was while he was stumbling through the message he read off the teleprompter yesterday but he's obviously caught between who is really is (a neofascist, rascist) and the part of him that wants to be seen as a statesman capable of actual governing (which was never a realistic possibility, tbh).  

As a result, there is an internal divide between the Nazi/white supremacists in his administration (who more closely align with his own beliefs) and the garden variety conservatives (who are trying to make him somewhat presidential, at least outwardly).

 

 

well, that cuts out the troll we all know, love and LOAO at.

POLITICO: Trump's Saturday prepared remarks were similar to the ones he delivered Monday, he chose not to read them https://t.co/nyHSYPsc1c

From the co-creator of Twin Peaks:

 

 

1) The weekend clarified some hard truths, ones many won't want to hear. Call them what you will, we've always had "Nazis" in this country.

— Mark Frost (@mfrost11) August 15, 2017

2) "Nazis" hide under rocks, kept there by shame & social norms. But this time is different: one of their own kicked over the rocks.

— Mark Frost (@mfrost11) August 15, 2017

3) Look at his history. Look at his public statements. His belief in his "genetic superiority", and the company he keeps.
Ipso facto.

— Mark Frost (@mfrost11) August 15, 2017

4) The lines are drawn, crystal clear. Ask yourself: Which side are you on? We've beat this before, we'll do it again. Let's roll. /end

They've always been more pseudo-intellectual than openly bigoted, but still, didn't think I'd see them say that.

so now they are going after the Lincoln Memorial, is it because he freed the slaves or was a Republican?

 

 

 

This morning I read an article where at least one white supremacist claimed he planned to run for Senate.  Trump has definitely opened a way to encourage racists in America to try to run for elected office. Sad.

Have you looked at the southern senators? Sessions, Corbyn. Graham? Let's not pretend we don't know who these people are.
