    That last statement shows INCREDIBLY poor taste, Shuny.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Trump's got me beat with supporting 'White Power' with overwhelmingly incredible poor taste.

        He's not a member of this board, Shuny - you are. You are becoming just like the object of your hate.

          Of course the only reason the government felt compelled to create the fiscal recovery package is because of how it tried to "take care of everybody" with its draconian response to the China flu resulting in people losing their livelihoods. I hope the irony isn't lost on you.

              I do know that the way I've seen the vast majority of people using masks isn't doing them or any one else a bit of good.

                    Yes, he is almost always irresponsible and negligent in his abuse of the power of the presidency. When you hold high office, you are responsible to make sure that the thing you support, explicitly and implicitly, represent this nation and your vision for the nation.

                      I think its called black and white thinking. If it isnt good, it's bad. If it isn't done perfectly, it's not worth doing at all.

                      But mostly it's just an excuse to support Trump even though the cost of that sort of thinking across the nation may well be multiple 10's of thousands of lives

                        Not with his racist base it isn't, and his racist base are the people he seems most intent on pleasing. I'm not sure, but when told about the "white power" quote in the video, did he denounce it?

                          To not denounce his deference to racism serves two purposes:

                          1) since they are not explicit, he can feed the 'fake news' mantra. His minions will dutifully declare the observation and rightful characterization of his action a biased interpretation of what he did.

                          2) the neo nazi's and white supremacists will be able to continue to believe that even if he is not technically 'one of them', he's so close they can give him their full support.

                            No he did not denounce nor apologize.

                              I didn't know, though I suspected that he did not denounce it. Turns out, from a google search, my suspicians were correct, he never did denounced it, and that speaks volumes.

Imagine if Trump had worked with white supremacists (not the fake "white supremacist" that's thrown around today by you clowns, but LITERAL 70s southern white supremacists) to vehemently oppose black segregation. It would be an open and shut case that Trump was a bonafide racist, even if Trump profusely apologized or made excuses for it. It would be a no-brainer. That type hypocrisy astounds the heck out of me.
                                As far as I know the "gotcha" statements and actions of Trump have not been found "bogus." In fact Trump has a well documented history of racism.
