This is a pretty shallow and disingenuous take on the subject matter.

What's shallow and disingenuous was the hysteria over the weekend when he condemned the violence on all sides and liberals somehow twisted that into mean not the nazis/racists.

The people from the Daily Stormer took it as Trump not condemning them for the weekend, either. That's what happens when you make lukewarm and milquetoast statements about something.

The ONE guy that drove his car into a group of people was a piece of shit. No deflection. The DOZENS of people slinging their poo around like a wild monkey are also pieces of shit.

You want a man who has denounced, disavowed, and condemned white supremacists DOZENS of times before he was even president to do it again, for what? ONE GUY being an evil asshole. Meanwhile, liberals have all these violent assholes representing them and they refuse to denounce what they are doing. Who's the one deflecting?

I hadn't realised that all Liberals had the same moral authority and responsibility that the President of the United States does. You know damn well that this weekend's problems were started far before the "One guy being an evil asshole" bit. The President of Moral Authority took to Twitter after each other major tragic loss of life on American soil to be unequivocal about its condemnation and impact much sooner than he did this one, so what's so different about this one? He denounced and disavowed it before, right? Why does he need to keep doing it then?

I said serious situations. I know that Trump is quick to fire off a tweet when he hears something he doesn't like from Hillary or Obama, for example. But the types of situations where he does impulse tweet aren't comparable to this.

How quickly did he tweet out after the Orlando nightclub shooting? Seems like a pretty serious situation to me. Did he take time to formulate and process his words properly?

When are liberals going to give an unequivocal condemnation for Antifa and BLM for doing the following:
Pepper spraying people unprovoked
Throwing water bottles and water balloons filled with shit, piss, and paint inside them.
Going after people with aerosol flamethrowers
Throwing smoke bombs into a crowd
?

Yay, more deflections. One wrong doesn't mitigate or absolve the other wrong. Honestly, address the issue instead of always going "Yeah, but...".

You know what this comes down to? Personal responsibility for one's actions.

It's time people stop using scapegoats to explain their actions. These radicalized people made a personal choice and you can't blame another figure-head which does not agree with their use of violence.

You make your bed in this country and then you gotta sleep in that bed.

All true, but this isn't even part of the current conversation. People are upset because Trump took so long to issue an unequivocal takedown of what happened on Saturday. They were already upset at the people who were already at the rally doing these things.

This whole thing is ridiculous. The only thing that we should be focusing on are the radicals in this country that use violence.

Instead it turns into a Trump issue.

The people that use violence can be handled at a local level with the courts and justice. You can't arrest and prosecute an idea, though. The idea is the problem, and Trump is part of it.

Wow, he took such a brave stand. No other president would dare call racism evil.

So first you bitch about him not saying anything, and when he does say something, you still complain.

It's the same thing about Trump's tweets. If he doesn't tweet he's a bad person, if he does tweet he's a bad person. It's a funny site to see.

If he didn't tweet with such regularity and establish a pattern of behaviour, we wouldn't notice when he does something so completely out of character to the rest of his tweets.

I addressed hockeybub's point in post #58, Alucard. More of a "yeah, I can understand why you're confused as to why he didn't post about it like he normally does"

I don't think his silence is an admission of some sort of guilt - which is where you're trying to get towards with this conversation.

You're right that it's not Trump's fault that these people exist. Racism has been alive and well in the US since its formation. However, people look to social cues to decide what is appropriate and inappropriate to do in public. What they see in Trump is a person who honours the values that they themselves honour, which enables them to be more brash and outspoken about their horrific views of identity and world politics. Trump isn't the cause of the illness, but he's a very significant symptom of it.

"Why won't Trump denounce these white supremacists!!"

"Okay, he denounced them, but why did it take so long!!"

The problem here is the perception of the President's priorities. He wastes no time firing back a snarky retort about what he feels is a personal slight, yet it takes two days to rally up enough courage to muster a response against Neo-Nazis? He shouldn't be getting a participation ribbon for this.

Patriotism is loyalty to one's country, not its president. Trump represents a larger threat to this country than Kim Jong Il does.

So a guy who has threatened to launch nuclear missiles at a United States territory is a lesser threat than Trump because you disagree with his policies?

hate Trump all you want, but he is doing what he believes (and could be right) what is right for the country.

The game is greater than the sum of its parts. It's not as good or groundbreaking as P3 or P4 were, but everything is honed to a fine point and polished to the nth degree. If they do make a re-mastered version of this, they could seriously make do with fleshing out some parts of the game that really drag.

You guys don't even know the whole story, there's two sides to this. Maybe this Merck guy is a real dick and was out the door anyway but wanted to make Trump look bad even though he probably doesn't give two shits what happened at UVA. You think CEOs give a shit about the public? They are masters of deception. And we all know Trump is a child anyway, so obviously he's gonna overreact to someone being a dick to him. But keep letting your hard on for Trump cloud your judgement

If Trump's side of the story is "he is a child who cannot help himself," that's bad. It is bad that our president is a child who cannot help himself.

Maybe, but if he's like that then we're just beating a dead horse insulting him for his childish tweets. He became president somehow and we have to live with that, and if he's childish then bashing him constantly isn't helping, he's gonna get more childish. The way to deal with people in power like that is to subtly plant ideas in their head and make it seem like it was their idea, so being nicer to someone like that is a more effective strategy. liberals need a new strategy instead of their "gotcha" attacks

Why aren't you on his administrative council with ideas like this, then?

To be fair, the article is expressly about how the candidates for awards given out aren't more diverse, and how Universities could lose funding as a result. It's not about hiring people based on diversity targets. That said, I want the best person to win the awards, not the most diverse. If the best person is a visible minority, then good.

So what's the point of this topic? The Stormer isn't being closed down for inciting violence.

Then why else is GoDaddy closing them? From what I read, they claim that violence is incited where the Daily Stormer clearly specified on their site that they're against violence.

I fucking hated the cognitive dissonance of blood magic in the Dragon Age games. Blood Magic is seen as abhorrent and vile, as you can do a lot of malicious things with it, up to and including controlling someone's mind. However, in Dragon Age Origins you're literally allowed to spec in Blood Magic, and you can take a reward in a side quest that gives you blood magic abilities, and NO ONE TREATS YOU ANY DIFFERENTLY. Fuck, any derision attributed to your race and the fact that you're a Grey Warden gets tossed out by the time you've left the prologue. That always bugged me.
