Trump would have had quite the conundrum with the Eastern Front in World War II.

Who does he love more? Russians or Nazis?

Clearly we need to ban all gray cars. I bet there are thousands of deaths at the hands of bad hombre gray cars. Obviously I just mean gray cars not made in America who want to take a valuable owned position from American Gray cars.

It's likely the gray car that killed today was not to blame as it might likely have been made in America. But we need to keep the Grays out.

What I am going to start doing - not that it will catch on nationally or anything, but anyone is welcome to follow - when you run into a Trumpist IRL, ask...

"Did you hear about the terror attack in Charlottesville?"

"That wasn't a terror attack."

"Huh? Why not?"

The one legit answer is "Because they weren't Muslims", so let them say it out loud. If they dodge, force it. Force them to show their darkness overtly. Force the surrogates to show it on TV. Make your family members stare in the mirror at their own bigotry during Thanksgiving dinner.

And most importantly, get the Democrats to fit this style of messaging into every assholic discussion they have with Rs about their worldviews.

He used a Russian technique he loves by sending in the Nazis he loves to distract from nuclear war (which he says he hates).

Did we dodge the bullet or what? It could just as easily been a brown, black or Jew car.

Well, that's unfortunate. She should just be called an idiot. Dude who punched her should be likewise punched, but I'm old fashioned/sexist so unless she's like Ronda Rousey or something there's no punching.

Don't forget about Erdogan. He's good to have protestors beat up in front of the white house.

She got the dude arrested and bragged about it.

Is there anyone more punchable than Paris Dennard?

I'd much prefer if someone just punched him. Maybe twice.

No argument but the reason. It is not terrorism if it comes from the same ideology as the one of the government.

I just realized we're going to forget all of this by the end of next week like every week.

My response to this can double as my response to, "Why on earth would anybody post in Pv7?" I doubt I'll run into any trumpers but I'll try it online.

It doesn't take any real effort and only makes sense to apply to everything they're doing in Trump's government. Refer to things as what they truthfully are, and it stunts gaslighting.

For evidence of the effect, see Muslim Ban.

This doesn't hold against scrutiny. Definitely not in other governments, and not even in the horrible US government. Not when they're still tiptoeing around many legal applications of their almost unrestrained rhetoric, for fear of opposition from non-racists among the Trump base.

Add Scaramucci to the list of crazy people being more presidential than the POTUS

Something similar played out in real time yesterday at the poker table as everything was happening in Charlottesville. The news of a car driving into people broke, and a Trumper who had basically announced (unprompted) that the Russia investigation was, "the most bull**** thing I've ever seen in politics,"
told everyone about the car and started complaining about Black Lives Matter and how violent they are. He said they were chanting White Lives Matter in Charlottesville and it was great. He talked about how horrible it was that BLM was so violent and it was scary. He mentioned not being racist, OBVIOUSLY.

I knew there was like a 99% chance the person who drove the car into the crowd was a white supremacist targeting protestors, but I kept my mouth shut for the time being. When the news came out that they caught him and it was a white guy, I announced it to him. Wouldn't you know? He got real ****ing quiet.

He did mumble something about it being good that they caught him.
