lol at the people who think the President has handled this situation well at all. At best he has been ambiguous and contradictory.

Frownland said it best earlier that his statements should be ignored, because all of his remarks are empty rhetoric. I haven't been paying attention to him, but has he actually DONE anything in response to this?

A civil rights investigation is under way. That's about it I think.

Not just trying to be contrarian here, but what would be a good way to approach the situation beyond and investigation and ensuing criminal charges?

People are tossing out their predictions that he will resign soon.

Tony Schwartz the co author of The Art of the Deal thinks it is happening soon.

He said: “The circle is closing at blinding speed. Trump is going to resign and declare victory before Mueller and Congress leave him no choice”.

“Trump's presidency is effectively over. Would be amazed if he survives till the end of the year. More likely resigns by fall, if not sooner.”

Mostly people that are pulling down statues or Antifa are the only ones ending up in court. The one exception of course is the guy that was in the car but no other white supremacist has been charged with anything.

Because if you had to choose one word to define the Trump presidency, it would be predictability.

I'm aware of the Antifa and BLM groups and while they were definintely a part of it, I don't think is fair to say everyone opposing the neo-nazis was a member of one or the other.

How many people here oppose fascism? Are you a member of Antifa or BLM? I know I'm not.

^^^^^

BLM has a lot of variety so I hesitate to call them a violent group. Antifa openly defines itself by violence.

Chula Vista 08-17-2017 12:17 PM

Are you saying that only Antifa members were part of the violence? Maybe in a lot of cases it was people whose emotions just boiled over after hours and hours of constant vitriol being tossed back and forth.

Heck, if I was 25 and had been there I would have been throwing punches eventually.

No and that's a really stupid way to interpret what I said, even for you.
