No doubt although I think in most slandering there is probably a mixture of lies and some truth!

Allow me to reiterate; you're an idiot.
Perhaps you could learn to read before you comment.
I never said Trump was right wing, I never believed Trump was right wing, and I have never been a supporter of Trump.
Nor have I ever posted a racist thing.
You brain dead muckraking morons simply don't have the imagination to come up with a new smear............the knee-jerk baseless calls of "racist" are now "Nazi", which of course is the same damn insult.
What you really mean is "shut up".
Sorry. Ain't gonna happen.
What??
First of all, ISLAM IS NOT A RACE.
Secondly, I was not defending Trump's history, God forbid. The man is an idiot. I was defending his statements on Charlottesville.
There are lots and lots of reasons to dump on Trump.
Inventing fake reasons is counter-productive.
HILLARY CLINTON’S LINK TO FORMER KKK LEADER ROBERT BYRD SURFACES AGAIN AFTER CHARLOTTESVILLE
Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s ties to late Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who admitted to creating a Ku Klux Klan chapter before entering public service, resurfaced Friday as Republican President Donald Trump deals with the fallout from his comments and stances on the Charlottesville, Virginia, protest.
Indeed, Byrd admitted that he started a Klan chapter in the 1940s,
Hillary Clinton
With some of these folks round here, the topic is NOT just conversational
it IS sedition. ( I could make a blue byrd joke here...lol)
Not to mention also being philosophically completely full of crap...
Any statues of this byrd clown lying around....yet?

These useless talking points are almost as old as you.
People don't even pay attention to terrorist attacks anymore.

Brampton man accused of hate-motivated assault

Brace yourself because this one is going to upset you.
It’s ugly and it happened, not in Charlottesville or Seattle, but in our community.
The sick and vile nature of racism, and the racists who participate in it, knows no borders. It turns out violent hate crimes are not just an issue south of the border but right here in the Greater Toronto Area, too.
As statues of Confederate generals were being torn down in the U.S. and people were debating what President Donald Trump should or shouldn’t have said, we had a frightening alleged race-based attack in Brampton Sunday afternoon.
“Male arrested for hate-motivated criminal offence” was the headline in the Peel Regional Police news release.
And the story, which didn’t seem to get much news coverage, doesn’t get any better.
A black man was standing on his own driveway in the Centre St.-Williams Parkway area of Brampton when police say a passing motorist stopped his car and confronted him.
Unprovoked, the motorist spewed racial slurs at the man and attacked the victim, according to investigators.
Sgt. Josh Colley added the beating was so bad “the man received some very serious injuries including terrible facial damage.”
But in addition, it was what the man yelled during the attack that shocked and horrified neighbours.
“‘F’ bombs were flying everywhere,” said one person close to the case. “It was so disturbing.”
Officers from Peel’s 22 division arrived at the scene quickly, as did paramedics who were trying to help this poor victim in a pool of blood.
Colley said officers made an arrest and have charged Matthew Wight, 28, with assault causing bodily harm and breach of recognizance.
Wight made a court appearance Monday. Since he was before the courts already on criminal charges, Wight is being held in custody until a future date.
The victim is said to still be suffering and in a lot of pain. But that pain goes behind the physical damage. This attack allegedly happened because he was black.
In peaceful, multicultural Brampton of all places.
If the allegations prove true, it’s pathetic.
And while nothing has been proven in court, police are moving forward with their belief that this was a criminal act motivated by racial intolerance.
“If convicted of a criminal offence and it is proven to be motivated by hate or bias, higher penalties may be imposed by the judge during sentencing,” say police.
Officers were as shaken by this incident as was the victim, his family and his neighbours.
“It’s just not acceptable,” said Colley.
Not acceptable there, here or anywhere.
I told you that you would be upset.

Pollsters have been predicting Trump's imminent demise since he announced his candidacy. Yet he's managed to overturn these doomsayers and has gone from strength to strength and prevailed.
They don't realize that America and the West are in a paradigm shift, and that all of the conventional milestones and landmarks have changed. Their predictive algorithms are no longer valid.
You can reduce Trump's prospects to one element. He always wins in the end. For all of his flaws he is gifted with an instinctive understanding social and economic dynamics. He senses the bankruptcy of the current order. And he's positioned himself to profit from its dissolution.
