"Trump attacks 15,000 Boston counter-protesters as 'anti-police agitators'"

[suffragette]

Donald Trump described anti-Nazi demonstrators who converged on Boston to repudiate white nationalism as “anti-police agitators” on Saturday, in a tweet that seemed destined to revive the still simmering controversy over his remarks equating the far right and anti-fascists in Charlottesville last weekend.

“Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston,” Trump tweeted. “Police are looking tough and smart! Thank you.”

What a distorted lens he views life through.

[CentralMass]

1. He seems to be Un-American.

[suffragette]

4. Yep and always on the side of hate.

[yardwork]

15. That is fundamentally correct. Trump is a fascist and so are his followers.

[NutmegYankee]

2. Yet more proof of his racist views.

[suffragette]

5. Yeah. He's not even bothering with dog whistles these days. He's using a bullhorn.

[NutmegYankee]

8. Sadly his base of loyal authoritarians is deaf.

[sheshe2]

30. Boston just called it as 40K

and only 27 arrests. Looking good.

[suffragette]

45. Very good, indeed.

[gratuitous]

42. A sym-phoney of dog whistles

In the key of Not C.

[madokie]

44. Good one

Spot on to I might add

Peace

[suffragette]

46. Nicely said!

14. Quickly comes out against Boston people, takes 2 days on overt terrorist

[suffragette]

10. He's clearly gone off leash with his comments. He keeps doubling down.

[RKP5637]

12. Many IMO in congress are cowards, there for the money and fame. And others will do nothing because

Trump speaks for them as they remain silent.

[Xipe Totec]

6. Like being mugged by an orange hamster. nt

[suffragette]

9. Ok, now I'm picturing the giant hamster from Nutty Professor.

7. There were a few jerks that wrestled with the police.

Behavior like that is oxygen for a clown like Trump. He focuses exclusively on that. Better to be nonviolent completely at protests, let the right get violent and DON'T retaliate - let Trump expose himself more by trying to call trully nonviolent protesters violent.

[sharedvalues]

19. More violence happened after Sox and Bruins championships

Nonviolence is key. But perspective is also useful. The main message of the counterprotest was peace and tolerance. Unlike the right-wing protests with their messages of hate.

[Blue_true]

24. Look I agree with you. But Trump and the right blow up a single incident

into a riot. Trump doesn't intend to recognize that 99.999% of 20,000 people were peaceful, he focuses on the 0.001% that was not. Hopefully journalists whe were there will powerfully call his ass out on his lying claim.

[sheshe2]

32. Boston just called it as 40K and 27 arrests.

Plus we do not know whose side they were on. I do agree we need to be peaceful.

[sharedvalues]

47. You think journalists will report the truth rather than what people say?

But that will require them to use their brains.

[suffragette]

31. In any town at any time, there will always

Be a few jerks.

Sadly, one of the biggest ones now resides at the White House.

[Blue_true]

43. Yeah, we have a gagaga mucho mega jerk in the White House now.

It trully embarrassing that clueless, evil jerk is our President.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

11. Not sure if he actually attended Goebbels University,

but, if not, he certainly got his GED.

The ReichWing loves the Big Lie technique.

[steve2470]

17. yep you nailed it nt

[suffragette]

33. Well said. Very well said.

[Sophiegirl]

13. His days are numbered.

Now that his Director/Dictator Bannman has taken his toys and gone home....he is toast.

[suffragette]

36. I hope so, though I think Brannon is heading back

To Breitbart to push propaganda here and inUK even more.

[Solly Mack]

16. He opens his mouth and proves he's a white nationalist - again.

[steve2470]

20. +1 nt

[suffragette]

35. Yes, and again and again, and...

[sharedvalues]

18. 30,000 now.

[suffragette]

37. :) With tubas and sheet cakes!

[sarisataka]

21. "facts" must be

Coming in much faster this weekend

[suffragette]

38. Must be the Alex Jones 'facts' and

taint wipe sales hotline.

[procon]

22. "Looking tough"? Yeah, Trump the TV celebrity, knows all about that phony image.

He puts on that cartoonish "tough guy" scowl for the camera because his mirror told him that's what a real leader would look like.

[suffragette]

40. He's a cowardly bully who is all about

Image rather than substance.

[mn9driver]

23. He needs to be removed from office as soon as possible.

His mental illness is getting worse every day.

[Blue_true]

25. The Biston Police Commish and Mayor should call Trump's ass out. nt

[suffragette]

41. Good point

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. He is trying to start a civil war and wants police to kill patriots

[The_Casual_Observer]

27. He wasn't getting any attention today, so he farted

Out a sour one just for good measure. Shitler is nothing but a wiseass.

[L. Coyote]

28. And he was hiding in a corner when he did it, not to their faces.

[Initech]

29. What a piece of shit!

[Vinca]

34. He is incapable of having a day when he isn't a dick.

[OldHippieChick]

39. Out on a limb here, but

he's tried to start a war w/ N. Korea. That fizzled. He tried to start a war in (________) Middle East. That fizzled. He tried to start a war in Venezuela???? We're all still going "huh?" He's got to start a war somewhere to make himself the big man he wants to be, a la Bush baby. If we are attacked, we take our eyes off the ball and give him a second term. Meanwhile, we have been raped and robbed and he is richer than ever, as are his friends. Does he think he can start a civil war and we won't notice that he's the instigator?

Am I totally paranoid?
