After President Trump defended white nationalists who rioted in Charlottesville, Americans marveled at the lack of accountability. The White House staff was unable to muzzle an out-of-control president. Republican legislators refused to distance themselves, much less criticize him. The media seemed to be spinning uselessly, and showed no signs of a willingness to follow up. As for us, what are we supposed to do, attend another useless rally?

Obama wouldn’t speak out against the neo-Nazis in post-US-coup Kiev.
Trump won’t speak out against domestic Nazis(“Homeland” is such a Nazi construct. How about tearing that down with the statues?).
Dumb and Dumber, or Right and Righter?
«… How about tearing that [i e, the notion of ‘Homeland’] down with the statues?…
Speaking of tearing down statues, Doug Tsuruoka’s recent Asia Times is worth a read….

The media does cover the counter-protests. The upside is that the left is demonstrating – the downside is that they are demonstrating against people just looking for an excuse to commit violence.

I recall him calling out everyone involved over and over again, I was there, that is what he did.
This comic seems to be written by someone who heard all of this information via rumors.
I see. So Mr Trump was either referencing Mercutio or Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Since you were there, «Tevo77777» perhaps you can tell us which it was ?…
