Wow. Trump press conference right now. This will be controversial. He's not playing the mainstream media PC game.

Trump calling out the violent leftists. He is not backing down, basically calling the press liars for ignoring it.

Also taking shots at McCain for blocking Obamacare repeal.

Get out your popcorn, video to be added.

People don't think there is a difference between D Trump and Hillary Clinton? Sure, there are some issues where they are two sides of the same coin. There are many areas where there are no significant differences. This area however, is different.

If Clinton were president, then you can believe the Charlottesville issue would be very, very one-sided. She would issue some White House directives that would really go after the "right" (or more than is being done now). They might be facing some real consequences or even legal issues.

One thing I like about this guy is that he is calling out the traditional media. This is long overdue. At least somebody is shaking up something. At least somebody is speaking up about all this social correctness. Guess it took a US president to do it.

Not sure if anyone has stayed up to date with regard to protest permits (lol) at certain historic venues but the permitting system has become rather elaborate. It's especially difficult to land a permit to protest near historic monuments and parks. So keep an eye on any future venues where protests are taking place. Take note of the ease in landing permits versus the difficulty for some others to receive them. Monitor who's involved in those protests. Monitor police maneuvering. Monitor dialogue between media and elected representatives after the fact.

I think that the repeated permit commentary in the video is likely the most important bit. Additionally the fact that it was acknowledged that there were some people who were not there to cause violence. Yet the stormtroopers (who were proudly displaying their military swat gear and strategic crowd containment maneuvering ability again tee hee hee hee hee) did herd them all together.

There's more to say about it. I don't really feel like it, though.

Here's what a free speech zone looks like these days...

Aug. 15, 2017, 1:27 p.m. reporting from washington

'Alt-left' charged at 'alt-right,' Trump says, again placing blame for Charlottesville violence 'on both sides'



Noah Bierman




Trump said it was “a horrible day” but said several times that counter-protesters were not getting enough scrutiny for their role in the confrontation and emphasized his belief that many of the protesters who joined with white nationalists were innocent.

“What about the 'alt-left' that came charging at, as you say, the 'alt-right'? Do they have any semblance of guilt?” Trump said. “They came charging with clubs in their hands,” he said of the counter-protesters.

Trump effectively reopened the debate — saying "there is blame on both sides" — despite insistence from politicians in both parties that white supremacists and other racists deserved to be singled out.

“You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was violent. Nobody wants to say that, but I’ll say that,” he said.

Trump discussed the removal of Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson statues. He asks the reporters if they want to remove statues of Washington and Jefferson because those two were slave owners.


“George Washington as a slave owner. So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? Are we going to take down his statue? He was a major slave owner,” Trump said.

Trump's kind of right. Blocking traffic is never okay. Taking over public roads and pounding and cars is wrong. I don't think you should gun it and run people over like this kid but I also don't think you should should stop. It is kind of hard for me to feel bad about the girl who is dead. I would never be in the position of blocking traffic.

Way things are going, there could be proposal to rename "White House" to "Homeland House" or something like that without using the w-word.
Hopefully more drastic mesaures will not be demanded, W-House is sort of a historic monument at this point.

Protesters could be charged for bringing down Durham, N.C., Confederate statue

18 mins ago - Woman arrested for bringing down Durham, N.C., Confederate statue ... renamed from Lee Park — was the site of a similar protest in May.
Takilya Thompson used a ladder to scale the podium, climb the statue, and help pull it down.

At least he's comfortable admitting that he's a Nazi. :D

Also, I'm still not sure what the "alt-left" is aside from a made up phrase to make false equivalencies easier. We know "alt-right" is just rebranded white supremacy/neo-Nazism, but I'm not aware of any leftist attempt at rebranding anti-Nazism. They kind of relish in their opposition to Nazism with a name like Antifa.

After all, he stood up against slavery in a time and place where that was an unpopular stance. Or maybe he was admitting to being a person who gets permits. Lord knows he has gotten enough of them. Or maybe he was intimating that he's the kind of person who doesn't use violence as a first resort.

The overwhelming majority of people in prison are leftists. http://www.factcheck.org/2015/12/cruz-on-violent-criminals-and-democrats/

Only 9% of felons registered Republican when they got out of prison. The estimate is 73% vote Democrat.

And it is easy to see in the news. The political violence is almost entirely from leftists. And to the extent there has been violence from someone on the right it is almost always a leftist showing up to where they are wanted getting in someone's face and provoking the violence. You don't see right wingers going to leftist rallies and picking fights. Yes, there is the odd attack like Timothy McVeigh. But for every Timothy McVeigh there are 10 people like Christopher Dorner.

I researched this a few years back.

From 1900 forward, in the United States, IIRC the vast majority of incidents of politically motivated violence have been done at the hands of leftists/anarchists/communists.

That is excluding Islamic terrorism which is much much greater than both combined. (at least in numbers dead, due to 9/11)

The guy has been toying with running for President since the mid 1980's. He picked the perfect time to jump into politics. Not too old, right atmosphere to rile up groups, etc. He's had a core set of beliefs that hasn't, at least publicly, changed much for decades. His skill set was developed over decades, and I want to research some of his 1980-1995 influences he had. From much of the footage out there, his public demeanor seemed changed a lot after the mid 90's.

If he went on a one-sided condemnation, and ignored violence and vandalism of groups like Antifa, the neo-liberal establishment would still hate him, and he would slowly lose support from his base.

I guess perception is skewed. Truth is False. This means That. Free speech with permit means opposition can show up for violence and be exonerated.

If anyone thinks that the alt-right had a right to assemble and speak their hate and the Anti-fa and BLM were wrong for showing up to protest them, you are sadly in the minority.

Fairness is nowhere to be found.

I think the person driving the car into the crowd should be prosecuted and he should have never driven down that road. If he for whatever reason found himself on that road, he should have backed up or turned around and left. No excuse for continuing into that crowded street. He was no better than the people on the left looking for trouble.

Almost everyone thinks Trump is wrong. I think he told it like it is. If you think that too, we are in the minority. No one ever likes to be told like it is. People like to twist everything. People don't like to accept responsibility.

Black people can demand separate housing at school. Black people can demand...... If you are white you are racist. If you point out an inconsistency or flawed reasoning of liberals you are racist.

It does not matter what Trump says because it will be convoluted into something that someone else wants it to mean.

Ron Paul should be grateful that he never became POTUS. Rand should never run for that office again.

Ok, I'm way late to this whole thing. Too busy working. Everyone knows I'm not a Trump fan but that presser was a joy to watch. I really wish I could have been there to see the apoplectic look on the presses faces. I even heard a cut of Micheal Medved saying "for shame Mr. President". I'm loving it.

"Many sides" didn't commit an act of domestic terrorism by trying to mow down protesters with a vehicle.

A self identified leftist/progressive tried to assassinate Rand for fuck's sake.

Whatever you think of Trump, from "our" perspective, you gotta love his trolling of the clown show.

Fucking priceless...

Outta ammo - EVERYONE here likely knows how I feel about Trump, but the left has gone bat shirt insane over this, and the press conference was NOTHING like what they are pretending at.

Interestingly, the organizer of this alt-reich NAZI party was a radical leftist who voted for Obama. Used to be stuff like that would tickle the conspiracy radars of most folks around here.

Maybe a lot of them just take it for granted that agent provocateurs are present at any such goings on. period.

I'm pretty late to this whole thing, too, but I think it's more because I'm having trouble relating to the conversation as its being had. It's all about this group or that group and feelingz and sentimentz. When you see the people of the world as individuals and judge them each by their actions, this whole thing becomes so foreign.

I'm certainly one of the most vociferous critics of Trump in here, but if I were in a car surrounded by a bunch of threatening people with bats pounding on my car, I would have gunned it. Trump did the right thing by focusing on the actions of people on all sides. He deserves credit for that.

Yeah, not a Trump fan, but that was what needed to be brought to light... he seemed pretty clear on the subject, yet MSM continued to twist the narrative.

Not sure if anyone has stayed up to date with regard to protest permits (lol) at certain historic venues but the permitting system has become rather elaborate. It's especially difficult to land a permit to protest near historic monuments and parks. So keep an eye on any future venues where protests are taking place. Take note of the ease in landing permits versus the difficulty for some others to receive them. Monitor who's involved in those protests. Monitor police maneuvering. Monitor dialogue between media and elected representatives after the fact.

I think that the repeated permit commentary in the video is likely the most important bit. Additionally the fact that it was acknowledged that there were some people who were not there to cause violence. Yet the stormtroopers (who were proudly displaying their military swat gear and strategic crowd containment maneuvering ability again tee hee hee hee hee) did herd them all together.

There's more to say about it. I don't really feel like it, though.

Here's what a free speech zone looks like these days...

Just talking to myself here. Again. lolol.

Report: Trump to overturn Obama’s ban on military equipment for police (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/27/trump-expected-lift-ban-military-gear-local-police-forces/606065001/)





This policy change would allow police departments around the country to utilize excess military equipment, such as armored vehicles, “high-caliber weapons,” bayonets and grenade launchers.

That's their strategy, and they do it over and over and over and over again. It's disappointing that so many people are still unaware of this.
