So much for balance.

There would not have been any trouble had the BLM and ANTIFA anti-march protestors (who didn't seek a legal permit to assemble) simply ignored the event and not confronted them.   

There was nothing going on that day that hadn't been going on for years prior, and that won't still be going on from today on.

It takes two to tango.    Trump is right that there is plenty of blame to go  around.  What happened Sunday is no different than what happened at Trump rallies -- agitators show up and try to start a brawl to cast a negative light on the event.

Democrats in Congress are doing what they always do.  Anything done by anyone they don't like is viewed in a vacuum and nothing else is relevant.  But, if a group they like starts something, it's shared blame time.  Only Liberal-aligned people are allowed to have emotional reactions, and it's always someone elses fault.

I notice the HNN news article on what Shitz said has already been disappeared from view on their webpage.

You may respond to him here...

   Here you may contact him to "share your opinion or comment on bills", schedule a meeting with him' or  "request a flag to be flown over the capital".
Might I suggest you request a confederate flag. 

I wrote Schatz immediately after his comments in the form of slightly changing some of Schatz's words so that it applied to Schatz from me, rather than Trump from Schatz. Just got this response via email, and, of course, he doesn't really address anything that actually happened, just his made up version. What a fucking asshole (again). Trump didn't even come close to making any "moral equivalencies", he merely stated, in accord with the evidence, that both sides were responsible for violent acts.



Dear Mr. [Punaperson],

Thank you for contacting me.   I have noted your comments regarding my criticism of President Donald Trump's response to the incident in Charlottesville.

I   understand that President Trump was elected through a free and fair election.   But an integral part of any president's job is moral leadership, to condemn hate and violence and not to make false   moral equivalencies   between racists and those that oppose them.   It is not a Republican or Democrat issue.   It is a matter of right and wrong.   I believe President Trump failed in his response to Charlottesville.

Racism and bigotry have no place in our country.   We must all work together to protect the hard won progress we have made as a nation and remain faithful to the promise of "a more perfect union."

Mahalo again for taking the time to contact me.

Sincerely,

BRIAN SCHATZ
U.S. Senator

When Brian Shitz starts saying things like "Trump is not my president", he also legitimizes statements like "Shitz is not my senator".

When people start down the path of not acknowledging that elected officials are elected, then that's a not going to have a good outcome long run.

It's like when one's sports team loses and the losing team acts spoiled rotten instead of congratulating the winning team and showing good sportsmanship.

No respect.

There used to be a time when the losers of an election would suck it up, congratulate the winner, and tell the public that they would work with the winner to get things done.

Statements like "not my president" are treasonous

Drinking his Kool-Aid will give you mean Shatz
