White Supremacists Cheer Trump's Response to Charlottesville Violence

But one group of people were thrilled with Trump’s comments: the white supremicists themselves.

The popular white supremacist site Daily Stormer called Trump’s remarks “really good,” noting that he “didn’t attack us.” They were also pleased he ignored a question about white supremacists after making his statement.

Trump comments were good. He didn’t attack us. He just said the nation should come together. Nothing specific against us.

He said that we need to study why people are so angry, and implied that there was hate… on both sides!

So he implied the antifa are haters.

There was virtually no counter-signaling of us at all.

He said he loves us all.

Also refused to answer a question about White Nationalists supporting him.

No condemnation at all.

When asked to condemn, he just walked out of the room.

Really, really good.


God bless him.

Dem AZ Rep. Sinema 'seriously considering' Senate challenge

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema said Friday she is "seriously considering" a run for the Arizona Senate seat held by Republican Jeff Flake.

The three-term congresswoman says she's heard from many in her state encouraging her to run. Flake narrowly won his first term in 2012 and is among the very few GOP incumbents who might be vulnerable in next year's midterm elections in a Senate map that favors Republicans.

"I've heard from many Arizonans encouraging me to run for the United States Senate. It is something I am seriously considering," Sinema said. "When I make any decisions, Arizonans will be the first to know."

Just a little history lesson for the "Clintons are War Mongers" crowd.

Bill Clinton had a framework for peace in the Korean Penninsula in October, 2000 before Bush/Cheney scrapped it. Please don't ever say there is no difference between a Democrat and a Republican.

For an assessment of NK's nuclear capabilities, listen to The Arms Control Wonk podcast

They straightforward with no political axes. And this where they stand:

1. NK has been underestimated too long.
2. They wished Obama had been more alarmed.
3. They worried aloud in April that Trump would say something stupid enough to provoke a conflict.

How it would go down on the Korean Penninsula

Please pardon the brevity and grammar. I'm on vacation with no computer in sight but I feel this needs to be said.

Whatever North Korea's current state of technology, they will not launch a preemptive nuclear strike that results in their destruction. But if whips his tiny dick out and orders air strikes, Kim will respond with conventional artillery and missile attacks on Seoul which may or not be followed by a ground assault across the DMZ. In any case, US/ROK forces would suffer severe casualties, thousands of civilians will be killed and the 11th largest economy in the world will be wiped off the face of the earth. And how would the conflict END? It would end very ugly with a massive US invasion or that nuclear strike Trump's been looking for. So if the deplorables want to ask why Obama held out hope for diplomacy, there you go.
