Not that he called the Nazi terrorists by that correct name. Why start now, when their support is what he relies on? Naah, bring on the "Rootless Cosmopolitan" dogwhistles in stead.
Nah, what he did was to blame the victims just as much as the Nazi terrorists.

It's looking as if his (twice-repeated "from all sources") Weasel-phrase has galvanized ..lots.
A couple more CEOs on his 'advisory committee' have resigned (him Hates anything resembling a rebuff..) Many non-trivial folks--too numerous to create a bio for each--have focussed on his utter failure even to respond to the death of the woman (Etc.) until, apparently hugely prodded ... for (both) way-too-late comments. Each commentator gave own essay on the Presidential expectation of stepping-up to Moral (suasion) precisely in such hideous circumstances; tl;dr: this was a palpable FAIL. While the parallels with Brown Shirts run-amok are inescapable, thus far I haven't seen that (obvious) comparo uttered. Yet. Still, each one addressed: ~~ just How revelatory of Drumpf's utter Incapability of doing the Prez-gig at all ..has been this shitty performance. (None of these gave any credence to his later 'corrective' rhetoric either, so obviously someone-Else's words-via-prompter.) IMO the near-identical focus of so many: offers rational hope that: The Orange-utan just may have revealed finally enough of the emptiness of his psyche and absence of any sign of "integrity". Have these awakened a passel of (cowardly? or just catatonic) fence-sitters? Damned if I know W.T.F. it TAKES to nail this mo-fo (YeahIKnow: CATASTROPHE-first, then: Duh.) Then ... |

And with his and his family's history, this surprises whom?
Drumpf's daddy was a Klansman, I thought everyone knew that. I know the consensus is, "Well, it's not absolute proof" but GMAFB. Couple that with the violation of the Fair Housing Act by Trump Management in the 1970's just as Donnie was taking over and someone's surprised he didn't condemn the Klan? I mean for shit's sake, I know there was a settlement in the 1970s and all that (typical of the monied class in our cough, cough, gag, wheez, judicial system), but how much more blatant can you be than the below? NEW YORK — When a black woman asked to rent an apartment in a Brooklyn complex managed by Donald Trump’s real estate company, she said she was told that nothing was available. A short time later, a white woman who made the same request was invited to choose between two available apartments. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/inside-the-governments-racial-bias-case-against-donald-trumps-company-and-how-he-fought-it/2016/01/23/fb90163e-bfbe-11e5-bcda-62a36b394160_story.html I wouldn't be surprised at all if there isn't some old photograph of little Donnie in a cape and a hood hidden somewhere. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again. |

And you didn't even mention the full page ad in 4 newpapers he paid for.
In 1989 Donald Trump took out a full page ad in four New York City newspapers calling for the execution of the alleged rapists in the infamous Central Park Jogger case. Never mind that the five alleged assailants were all minors, or that rape wasn't a capital crime. There was a moral panic to be stoked.o o o If Trump had his way, all of the Central Park Five would have been dead by 2002. That's the year Matias Reyes, already in prison for rape and murder, confessed to the crime, and insisted he acted alone. DNA tests had already confirmed that only one person raped victim Trisha Meili. Further testing showed Reyes was that person. Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morganthou later vacated the convictions of the other five suspects, all of whom had already served their sentences for the attack. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |
