    The irony of his having for so long indulged in his hysterical tantrumps over Dubya, Obama and others not always citing "radical Islamic" terrorism, and now flaunting his impotence to practice what he preaches in blunt specificity regarding the Trump worshippers on the extreme right is glaring.

    Of course, it is entirely consistent with his groveling before Putin while patriotic Americans confront the reality that his is a hostile nation antagonistic to US interests.

    To her credit, Ivanka has the testicular fortitude her father conspicuously lacks:

    Exactly! Though to be fair, The "Progressives", the Nazi's and the BLM are all racist, seek racial favoritism, which of course leads to resentment and violence. In many ways they all seek to traffic is racial resentment and violence.

    I think Trump would have received a more favorable response if he injected the slightest amount of passion in his speech, but it was delivered with the tone one normally reserves for ordering pizza.

    Fake News, he gets passionate about. His vote numbers, He get's passionate about. People rioting in the streets - not so much.

    In a time of high passion, that is leading to deaths, more passion is like throwing gasoline, a calming reminder that we ALL must obey the law and the rights of others, is exactly what is called for, when you are the President. There was no death-count resulting from the Fake News Controversy, so added passion only reinforced the point, it did no harm.

    Don't let his calm demeanor fool you. If the Gov requests it, he will send National Troops to the area and the rioters will NOT want to play with them!

    I wouldn't destroy anyone ....and I never said I would.

    But we destroyed the Nazis and White Supremists in WWII for a reason..... a reason you will never understand...


    The world didn't stop them when there were warnings signs, when Nazis were getting a foothold ...and look what happened.....


    You want this all over again?????

    See, let me see if I can make you understand....Nazis/White Supremists = Bad People

    But I doubt YOU see them as bad....

    Poor boy: calling out KKK without calling out antifa is perpetuating division. Altogether, they are the same thing.

    Neither you nor I would have been aware of this protest. It would have gone completely unnoticed had the Dems not called out their flying monkeys to go and resist - with provocation.

    It's good that Trump FanBoys finally see the reasons why Obama didn't endlessly repeat "Muslim Terrorist," in his speeches. It just gave them legitimacy.

    Most Americans, and especially most folks in Charlottesville, Virginia want it removed.

    Remember, Erwin Rommel fought for Germany; Robert Lee fought against the United States.

    The squalid behavior of the unAmerican neo-nazi and white supremacists in Charlottesville is accelerating progress in toppling the offensive icons elsewhere:

    Well to be honest - the Neo-nazi only carry out these protests to troll for violent reactions. It's a chicken or the egg type thing.

    It doesn't matter if the protestors were the only people in the world who wanted the statues to remain. They had a legal permit to protest.

    The height of imbecility is ignoring the difference between two polar opposite street mobs beating each other with clubs and stones (in which case both parties are properly condemned)
    and the failure to forthrightly and wholeheartedly castigate and define terrorism when it strikes in this nation (in which case the president
    couldn't even bring himself to mention the elephant in the room...Islam).

    What sort of weird psychotic disconnect fails to see that difference?

    What "groveling" would that be? http://www.npr.org/2017/08/02/541197484/trump-signs-russia-sanctions-bill
    Oh, right....you can't say.

    Ivanka Trump is not president of ALL the nation and therefore needn't worry about giving the appearance that she is taking sides when antifa thugs battle racist hoodlums. I'm not surprised you don't know the difference between testicular fortitude and reasoned good sense.

    Nuance is not your forte.

    As the troglodytes on both sides were organized and transferred in from distant states, it might also be interesting to find out if they both had the same organizer.

    Would that make you folks like him more? Would that have given him an hour's respite from your scorn and venom? No point doing anything that the left asks for...

    What we are witnessing is exploding heads on the left.
    People who are so dug in and entrenched in their opposition to Trump that their minds have shut down completely, their eyes are squeezed shut, and when someting positive makes it into their brain through their ear canal, their heads just explode.

    God forbid: Trump did something really right. Admirable even.

    Were the soldiers that were killed in Europe fighting Fascism also flying monkeys?

    Welcome to the driver's seat. Much different for those hanging out in the back seat for the last eight years, isn't it?

    And the Democrats are too cowardly to call out their base of AntiFa fascists (shades of Alinsky) who are destroying public property, curtailing free speech, and threatening physical harm to anyone who dares oppose them.

    Trump is doing the right thing by condemning everyone.

    It's been BLM for the last 5 years. When's anyone gonna call them out? I know you never will, but I'm wondering if any liberal ever will

    I have been saying for years, and many can testify to this. The left and the right are one in the same, and show solidarity with each other in their voting patterns. We see the likes of Maxine Waters calling Dershwitz a racist (of all things!) and McCain (once he was safely re-elected) criticizing Trump at every turn. We are living in a time when those of us who are no longer on the same page as our "official party" have taken matters into our own hands and elected a centrist who will drain that swamp. Why Trump? Because he was strong enough to survive the onslaught.

    In this, Trump was completely correct. His words resonated in the hearts of Americans from both parties who are weary of being manipulated for the purposes of empowering a class of people who don't give a **** about the people who work, produce, obey laws and care about their families and communities.
