(4,618 posts)...bring the families of victims of white right wing extremists to the White House so they can tell their stories, too.

(8,203 posts)Certainly, any argument in which the suffering of toddlers and babies is tolerated (let alone sought as a deterrent) is going to lose and lose badly.
Shut him off....you or I or any of us need to be subjected to evil....

Sorry! My sympathy has limits.

(37,161 posts)Some horrible crime is committed against a white victim -- implicitly but not necessarily by a black person--and they wave it around like the proverbial bloody shirt all-caps-ing "Where's Al Sharpton?! Where's Jesse Jackson?! Why aren't they marching? Why aren't they all over the media decrying this?".
Naturally, simply reading the new reports indicates that the police acted promptly and professionally, did what they're supposed to do and acted the way they're supposed to act. Just like with the anthem-kneels, they can't or won't wrap their heads around what the issue actually is.
So Trump doing a variation of the same thing will be worn as comfortably as an old, favorite tee-shirt.

(6,930 posts)I have found the best op authors on this board make it clear what point they are making and make it clear what it is they are posting about. The best op authors understand that some duers may be at work, or in a hospital waiting room, out gardening, driving somewhere, at the store...any number of places.
You have made it clear where you stand.

I have no opinion of you whatsoever...no like or dislike. You are an anonymous poster - one who apparently thinks a great deal of him/herself.

I turned it off. Those people evidently think it justifies what Trump is doing to brown children.

(764 posts)The cable news stations probably have a deal where they run these feeds they get from the whitehouse. Wonder if CNN has their own camera crew or do they just run a feed passed down from the whitehouse 5 min after it actually happened....

The piece of shit tweets that it is all phony and fake and nothing but a Democrat election ploy.
David Axelrod was on as a commenter and he was crying too.
This is powerful stuff. As said on 'Morning Joe' this morning, donald has blown it. He's jumped the shark.

(764 posts)fascinating propaganda I wonder whats going on in the faithfull Trump supporters heads right now. Are they still saying 'yeah but he got us a good tax rate and is keeping the aliens from living off welfare so he is a little rough around the edges', but look in their eyes when they say that see if they have a little bit of inner conflict going on. ouch

(5,914 posts)Godwin said that arguments over the Internet will go back and forth and eventually devolve to the point where someone, with no other recourse, will start comparing the person they are arguing with to Hitler.
He was never talking about discussion of actual Nazi behavior. Where white supremacists get together and hold rallies with tiki torches. Godwin himself has said that it was okay to call these people Nazis. They ARE Nazis.

(5,477 posts)for the foreseeable future. They are trying to control the narrative, and using well-tune propaganda techniques to do it.
His followers/believers will lap it up and re-spew it, ad-infinitum, no matter how often they are presented with actual facts (which will immediately be called 'fake news', if it doesn't fit their warped views).
NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)That is not a joke. It's not Fake News. He did that. He autographed photographs of dead children like a celebrity on tour.
