Summations Only

Gosh, a bunch of ugly personal opinions allowed to contradict a simple straightforward description of what Trump actually said. He called for unity but that doesn't matter to the Leftist crowd, he can say whatever he wants he will be called a liar and a racist and a white supremacist be cause the truth is in the Lerftist's head and not in reality.

What did he say about the Democrats when he attacked them? Possibly that they interfere with the unity he was calling for? Hm?

Nope, he didn't mention unity or any similar concept. .Your sources don't cover Trump’s tweets?

Look at Trump's own words for what Trump said? Heaven forbid. You need to look at what the commentators say about what he said.

Whoops, he did mention unity in one Beto O'Rourke has been criticizing Trump: Trump, of course, called for unity in his reply: On the Dayton shooter, who appears to have been a leftist: The shooter's motive is unknown, although we know he was fascinated by violence. Lots of media are reporting his views and history. Like CNN:

quote:

---

Former high school classmates said that he had a "hit list" of people he wanted to kill or rape. He was in a "pornogrind" band with extremely graphic, violent lyrics. And authorities searching his family home found writings that expressed an interest in killing people, two law enforcement sources told CNN.

​

But the writings did not indicate any racial or political motive, sources said.
In addition, a Twitter account that appears to belong to Betts retweeted extreme left-wing and anti-police posts, as well as tweets supporting Antifa, or anti-fascist, protesters

​

...

​

In the hours before the Dayton shooting, the Twitter account "liked" several tweets about a shooting in El Paso that left 22 dead, including one supporting gun control and others that called the El Paso shooting suspect a "terrorist," and a "white supremacist."

​

The account retweeted messages supporting Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, as well as posts against ICE agents, including one that said, "these people are monsters," and multiple posts condemning police, and supporting Antifa protesters, who often use violent tactics

While slamming critics, Trump says his words 'bring people together'

quote:

---

On the White House south lawn this morning, as the president prepared to visit communities in Texas and Ohio still reeling from the mass murders, Trump stopped to briefly to talk to reporters. The president seemed eager, at least initially, to soften his tone.

​

quote:

---

[Critics] are people that are looking for political gain. I don’t think they’re getting it. And, as much as possible, I’ve tried to stay out of that. I think we have toned it down. I would like to stay out of the political fray. []

​

I think my rhetoric is a very — it brings people together.

---

​

How he managed to say this with a straight face wasn’t altogether clear.

​

But as part of the same brief remarks, Trump proceeded to twice point to Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in relation to the Dayton shooter, criticize the Democratic mayor of Dayton, take another not-so-subtle shot at Beto O’Rourke, and wrap things up by calling Joe Biden a pretty incompetent guy.

The Great Unifier visits Dayton:

quote:

---

Today the president went to Dayton, Ohio, after which -- the Great Unifier! -- he attacked local politicians who'd been with him:

​

quote:

---

In a series of tweets after visiting victims of the mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, President Trump accused Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley of lying in a press conference....

​

Trump on Brown and Whaley: "Just left Dayton, Ohio, where I met with the Victims & families, Law Enforcement, Medical Staff & First Responders. It was a warm & wonderful visit. Tremendous enthusiasm & even Love. Then I saw failed Presidential Candidate (0%) Sherrod Brown & Mayor Whaley totally misrepresenting what took place inside of the hospital. Their news conference after I left for El Paso was a fraud. It bore no resemblance to what took place with those incredible people that I was so lucky to meet and spend time with. They were all amazing!"

---

There's just one problem: Neither Brown nor Whaley said the things the president claimed they said

​

quote:

---

Brown, a frequent critic of Trump, said that the president "was received well by the patients...They were hurting, he was comforting. He did the right things, Melania did the right things." ...

​

Whaley, meanwhile, did not directly attack Trump, but questioned whether he was serious about taking action on gun control: "I'm hoping, for the people of Dayton, that he does, but both the senator and I spoke very directly what we've been saying the whole time about the need for common-sense gun legislation."

No More Mister Nice Blog: THE TRUMPERS ARE LIKE THE COPS PLANTING THEIR OWN DRUGS ON A SUSPECT AND THEN ARRESTING HIM (updated)ABE The press was not allowed in the visit. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

From The Guardian: 'Blood on their hands': the intelligence officer whose warning over white supremacy was ignoredTen years ago, analysts warned against a rise in rightwing racial terrorism. The Congressional Republicans howled in outrage, screaming how this was a cover to target conservative groups. As a result, all focus on rightwing groups were shut down and people even lost their jobs. This has had a chilling effect in the law enforcement community prevent proper study of and adequate resources devote to rightwing violence.The Guardian has published an interview with Daryl Johnson, the former Homeland Security official who led that analysis team.Some excerpts:

Last Tuesday's column by Paul Krugman: Trump, Tax Cuts and TerrorismIn which Krugman asks the question: why is the Republican Party the enabler of racial terrorism? He also mentions how ten years ago Republicans shut down the attempt by Homeland Security analysts to warn about the rise in white nationalist terrorism, and so points out the blood on their hands. But the Republicans' true goal? Conclusion: Edited by Chiroptera, : Added a sentence to make a point more clear.

From The New York Times: The Global Machine Behind the Rise of Far-Right NationalismA few months ago, I read Dark Money by Jane Mayer, and I've just started reading Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean. These books detail American billionaires' creation of a fifth column to subvert American democracy under an ideology of "free market libertarianism" because of their resentment that they have to pay taxes and that health and safety and labor regulations limit what they can do with their businesses.Yesterday, I brought up a column by Paul Krugman pointing out how the free market libertarian bolsheviks are using white nationalism to push their agenda. By coincidence, this morning's New York Times has an article on the racism part.The article talks about how all the white nationalist groups in the US and in Europe are linked, and how these links lead to Russia, and how these links are deliberately hidden.The article focuses on Sweden, but makes it clear that the authors feel that it is similar everywhere, including the US.Among the examples:Witnesses describe how Russian "journalists" were offering Syrian immigrants money to stage a fight to showcase "violence" in immigrant communities.One supplier of racist "news" to white nationalist sites is a hidden portion of the website of a Russian/Ukrainian owned auto parts store; this store also gives money to these white nationalist sites for "advertising ".Edited by Chiroptera, : Typo.Edited by Chiroptera, : More typos.

How pervasive is it theorized to be?

Pervasive enough they have you posting their propaganda pieces here at EvC ... twice.And we're small stuff compared to the rest of the internet. That's quite a reach.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Did I? Remind me what those faux pas were again? Cuz its been my understanding that white nationalists are proud and vocal to be such. If I was a white nationalist or a white nationalist sympathizer, I would just tell you. I'm quite fond of the notion that my grandparents were Nazi killers.I'm trying to have a civil dialogue with Chiro, since what he's saying kind of makes sense. I'm kind of intrigued by what he wrote and was trying to gain insight. I'm not sure why you're throwing molotov cocktails my way.
