Trump’s family is not one of his biggest assets. Conservatives don’t like them because they’re not conservative. Liberals hate them because their name is Trump.
of course it does...and the mayor of Charlottesville VA is silent on that.

Well thats 63 million Americans with a couple trillion bullets vs a couple maybe ten thousand people who dont know which bathroom to use
Bring it ON
Yes indeed - the media gloss over the fact (no surprise, of course) that the “counter protestors” were not the good guys - both sides were evil in this debacle.
Now the question is: Who brought them together in the same place?
“anti-fascist” fascist...is that something like being a non-homosexual homosexual?
“Can’t keep up with who’s allowed to have violent protests and who isn’t.”
The Sneeches have stars on thars.
You ready to take the cops and the Army on too?
‘Cause that’s who’ll be on antifa/BLM’s side.
Yes but they are white people who are anti- white
The leadership is paid but the recruits have to buy their own balaclavas , bats, gas masks and urine bags
...LOL!....silly Soros/hollywood/academia brain-fornicated parasites.
Between the crooked politicians, their cronies on Wall St. and the Federal Reserve, and mix in these cretins....
America is in need of a SERIOUS house cleaning.
I would bet a dollar to a donut, that 90% of the “Antifa’s” couldn’t tell you what fascism is?
If they want right wing support, they shouldn’t care.
All they care about are kickbacks from major lobbyists that are sympathetic to Antifa.
What makes both sides evil?
Was it evil for one side to peacefully protest the removal of historic Confederate statues? Was it evil to waive confederate flags, wear provocative garb, and carry signs with provocative slogans?
Was it evil for the other side to show up and organize a peaceful counter protest? Was it evil for them to waive their flags, wear their provocative garb and carry their signs with their provocative slogans?
No.
No matter how strongly you disagree with what either group stands for, their right to stand for it and speak out for it is inseparable from your own right to disagree.
When it became wrong was when the violence was initiated. To know who is guilty of wrongdoing you’d have to know who who initiated the violence. Even those who resorted to physical means in self defense are innocent - it’s the initiators of violence that are evil.
I was not there. From the news reports I’ve seen, I simply can’t tell who started what.
But I will say this: I do not trust the news reports one single iota. Too many times, I have seen them twist facts, using selective video, edited comments, altered context - and from my experience, the dishonesty ALWAYS favors the politically correct narrative - that nonwhites are the victims of racist oppression and violence, and never the perpetrators.
Like I said, I wasn’t there. But I’m not going to buy the MSM narrative - not ever. Not when there’s race involved. The MSM are proven liars. They will lie every time.
If I was forced to pick a side, I’d have to assume the exact opposite of whatever the MSM reported was the truth.
Rioters should be shot by the ordinary citizens whose lives, person or property they threaten.
If that means a bunch of college age, middle class, white Antifa twits die while rioting, well, good riddance.
My perception is that they are middle class (or even upper), cultural Marxist, college (”Conformatorium”) educated twits ... so, yeah, mostly white.
Some conservatives (some would label “cuckservatives”) would like to pretend that if they keep their boxing gloves on and fight by Marquis of Queensbury rules that our enemy will put away the knife...
Seems to me Antifa IS bringing it. They vociferously claim to be. Read the AAR from Altura. Seems to me these young folks at Alt-right have had enough and are standing up. Seems to me it IS on. Seems to me maybe it is time we supported them.
The antifa crowd is generally speaking an upper-middle-class college-associated crowd that includes quite a few whites but the main emphasis of the group is to advance Marxist-leninist viewpoints through the tactic of labelling all opposition fascist (pretty much standard KGB playbook stuff adapted to the post-Soviet world).
The “anarchist” element that is attracted (usually students and unemployed workers) will be given the bad news that a very large and powerful state is the actual goal, but why break this to them before they do some useful work for the cause?
Antifa needs to be fully investigated so that a larger segment of the American people can become familiar with this enemy within. They have less of a foul reputation than they deserve, and are more or less tolerated if not encouraged by the media and some mainstream politicians.
Following the money would be a very interesting exercise.
