I hereby award Donald J. Trump...

Graham: Trump's Charlottesville rhetoric 'dividing Americans, not healing them'
..."I, along with many others, do not endorse this moral equivalency," Graham said said. "Many Republicans ... will fight back against the idea that the Party of Lincoln has a welcome mat out for the David Dukes of the world."

Trump is riling up the country, instead of calming it down.
This is intentional.

Remember when people got mad that Michelle Obama said kids should eat a vegetable? - Mike Drucker




The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

"Respect heritage" my ass- after Declaration was signed New Yorkers pulled down statue of King George, melted that sh*t into musket balls. - Jesse McLaren tweet






Meanwhile, Trump Is Fulfilling Another Campaign Promise
Iran could abandon its nuclear agreement with world powers "within hours" if the United States imposes any more new sanctions, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday.




Things are getting tense between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. We didn’t start it. North Korea has been testing these missiles and saying they’re making them specifically to attack the United States. So, obviously, a firm response is necessary — but maybe not “fire and fury the likes of which the world has never seen.” - Stephen Colbert





How's this for a compromise?
Instead of removing Confederate statues, we never clean off all the pigeon sh*t they're covered in. - Erik Bransteen


Republican Shenanigans

Donald Trump has made his bed, but he can't sleep in it because some very fine people needed the white sheets. - John Fugelsang


Russia Hosting American Neo-Nazi Website

Lawyers, Start Your Engines
Two people are filing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against those they believe are responsible for a deadly car attack by the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville...








There's A Special Hell For These People
The leader of a North Carolina based group associated with the Ku Klux Klan says he is glad that a woman died while taking part in a protest in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend.


No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes. -  Mitt Romney tweet

Rock The Voter News

Apparently the "Alt-Left" is anyone who gets pissed off when a bunch of Nazis march in their backyard. - Erik Bransteen


Both Former Bush Presidents Criticize Racism, Not Trump
Former Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush joined the chorus of lawmakers speaking out to condemn the racist violence that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend.
But the statement, coming one day after President Donald Trump was widely criticized for appearing to draw a moral equivalency between white supremacists and those protesting against them, did not directly address the President's response.

Donald Trump started another Twitter war. This time he tweeted at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, telling him to “get back to work on a healthcare bill.” I’m impressed. It is extremely difficult to type the words “get back to work” on a phone while simultaneously teeing off with a 3-wood. - James Corden
