White supremacy is 'most lethal threat' to the US, DHS draft assessment says

[MomentsofSanity]

So you think you can tell a white supremacist when you see one? Or are you assuming all white supremacists wear swastikas?

Nevertheless, Trump specifically called them out.

If you go to a rally organized by white supremacists and nazis.... What are you then?

And that was not a condemnation. That was a they aren't so bad. You can not show a single instance where he just condemns them completely. Fuck the guy claimed he had no idea who David Duke was when asked about his endorsement and acted like he didn't know what the Klan was whenhe was on tape for years talking about the guy over time.

Here's the problem. He says he condemns them, then turns around and amplifies their voices and messages. He retweets them, he invites them to be a part of his team, his events. hell two weeks ago he promoted a video of a guy yelling White Power over and over for christ sake.

Have you considered it wasnt just the left who were protesting the premise of the rally? And it wasnt organized by all those groups. It was organized by Jason Kessler who happens to be a white supremacist. The rally was called Unite the Right.

Also, Trump signed a resolution condemning white supremacy.

"No matter the color of our skin or our ethnic heritage, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God," Trump said.

Evidence was asked for, and I presented it. And the condemnation was off prompter.

edit: Also, Biden continues to push this lie in his campaign ads:

Trump Has Condemned White Supremacists - FactCheck.org

Former Vice President Joe Biden wrongly claimed President Donald Trump has "yet once to condemn white supremacy, the neo-Nazis." Trump has specifically condemned white supremacists and neo-Nazis on a few occasions.

The question was an un equivocated denouncement. I used the mask example.

I'll ask you is Trump supporting or downplaying mask wearing? The answer is both. He wore it once so his people can say he supports it. Just this week he yelled at a reporter for wearing a mask, mocked Biden for wearing a mask and holds maskless rallies

He signed a resolution lol

edit: so he said it TWICE in two press briefings, and signed a resolution. WTF else can he do?

Trump also read a statement taking back his "both sides" and then within a few days off prompter said he shouldn't have read that statement. Details matter dude.

Whatever you say. I know this doesnt fit into your echo chamber but thats your problem not mine.

edit: BTW can you provide a link where he did that? Couldnt find it on Google.

If you tell your SO "I love you" and then 5 minutes later say "I hate you", she gets upset and you respond, "what do you want me to do, I said I love you"

Get it yet?

Not tell DHS to scrub right wing groups from their list of threats?

You apparently don't.

Here's another example of the contradictions. One of Trump's key advisors, Stephen Miller, is rather fond of white supremacists. When news of that got out, the Trump administration explicitly refused to fire him. In any other US administration from the past few decades, Miller would have been fired on the spot... but in Trump's administration, he's celebrated.

It's not an "echo chamber" thing, it's logic. Saying a nice thing now and then doesn't matter if most of what you say and do actively undermines that thing. If I say "I care deeply about the environment" but deny human-made climate change, dump my trash in the river and roll coal on my pickup, my words don't change that I'm anti-environment.

Stephen Miller is garbage

And you can't fire someone for their political beliefs. That's just wrong.

I'll find it. Meanwhile here is a summary and commentary on Trump's doing what you say he isn't, equivocating.

You can if their political beliefs are "racism." And besides, if you're against racism and want advisors to help you fulfill your agenda, you can fire that person for not being useful or hurting your agenda.

Wait a minute...not only does your comment not make one lick of fucking sense given the context, that is a senior political advisor to the president can’t be fired for politics (LO-fucking-L!), I always pictured you as a part of the “right-to-work” contingent...you know, a fire anyone for literally no reason at all type.

Glad to know you believe workers have some rights...how lefty of you! 👍

James Comey was fired for failing to take a loyalty oath

 

[ch33zw1z]

Sure thing. This video has 2 press briefings where he did. He also said there are bad people on both sides. The way this story is portrayed is the white supremacists were the only conservatives in the group. Which is ridiculous.

Yea, we've been over this. It was specifically a "unite the right" rally, organized by white supremacists.

Stephen miller has the president's ear, think on that.

So therefore they have the same opinion? Thats quite the claim.

 

[ch33zw1z]

No, it's quite the claim the say he doesn't. Miller has been there for the long haul, influencing the president. #dealwithit

 

[blackangst1]

No, Comey was fired because he didnt handle the investigation of buttery emails the way Trump wanted.
