White supremacists: "Trump is setting us free." Well isn't that special.

Courtesy of Think Progress:  

Online neo-Nazi and white supremacist forums have been unmistakably jubilant lately, as web chatter moved from celebrating President Donald Trump’s electoral victory to celebrating individual cabinet appointments and policy proposals. 

On Thursday, internet racists celebrated another perceived victory: Reports that President Trump will soon remove white nationalist groups from a federal effort to study and neutralize extremist radicalization, and rebrand the program to focus solely on groups associating themselves with Islam.

News of Trump’s plan to reverse that symbolic recognition of right-wing threats prompted a wave of celebration in white nationalist circles. 

“Donald Trump wants to remove us from undue federal scrutiny by removing ‘white supremacists’ from the definition of ‘extremism,’” the founder and editor of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer (which takes its name from a Nazi propaganda publication) wrote in a post on the site. “Yes, this is real life. Our memes are all real life. Donald Trump is setting us free.”

Interesting that the two groups most pleased with the election of Donald Trump are the Russians and the White Supremacists, don't you think?

    75% of American voters did not vote for DJT. 25% voted for fake news and liars. It is good to know who the 25% are. We the 75% people of America will not allow the 25% to trash the world.

    TIME:
    Mike Pence Was Asked If America is Morally Superior to Russia. He Wouldn't Give a Yes or No Answer

    Vice President Mike Pence wouldn't say America is morally superior to Russia during an interview with Face the Nation.
    When repeatedly asked by moderator John Dickerson about America's moral superiority to Russia, Pence talked about American ideals instead.

    "I believe that the ideals that America has stood for throughout our history represent the highest ideals of humankind," he said.

    "Shouldn't we able able to just say 'yes' to that question though?" Dickerson asked.

    "I think it's without question," Pence responded.
    "That America is morally superior to Russia," Dickerson said.

    "That American ideas are superior to countries all across the world," Pence said.

    As @jdickerson points out to Pence here - shouldn't this be just a yes answer on whether U.S. is morally superior to Russia?

    Dickerson's question followed a comment by President Donald Trump's from an interview with Bill O'Reilly, in which he said he respects Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    After O'Reilly noted that Putin is "a killer," Trump said:

    "There are a lot of killers. We've got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country's so innocent?"....

    Pence made the rounds of all the programs on Sunday, “interesting” that he had the same memorized answer for all the programs, he proved he could memorize and lie at the same time, so talented.

    Blah blah, the American people want to feel safe, blah blah. Someone should have asked him wouldn’t Americans feel saver if the mentally ill didn’t have access to guns.

    I wonder if the some group will take this ruling to court. Like many of trump’s E.O. and memos, it maybe illegal since white supremacists are terrorists.

    We have liberal friends who are feeling guilt ridden by not having cared more about the poor Trump coal miners and the other poor Southern white people who fared so badly while President Obama was in office. At a dinner party this past weekend, I reminded our friends that the coal mines they were talking about have been closed for decades now (replaced by natural gas) and that, other than making life easier for the LGBT community, President Obama did nothing to make their lives more difficult. Health care reform helped everyone. Job creation programs helped all Americans, especially those who were willing to get specialized education or training. His program for employing veterans first was just ended by the Trump administration. Every natural disaster was met with prompt federal help in those years. There would have been much more had the GOP not obstructed for eight years straight. Frankly a lot of the whining from these "disenfranchised" Southern whites masked their blatant racism.

    i also said that I felt no guilt for them. If these "poor" people unglued themselves from Fox News, they would have known that their lives were much better during the Obama administration. Interestingly, one of the factoids circulating during the campaign was that the average annual income of Trump supporters was $75,000, far above the poverty level in this country. The overweight guys in the photo above displaying their girth and Confederate flags must be some of the people the rest of us should feel sad about. Nope, not me.

    Unfortunately, I am surrounded by garbage like that! They have no concept of the Constitution and are constantly fighting the Civil War - over and over and over and....

    Of course, now that they are "free" THEY should "go home to where they came from". That IS their favorite saying, right? Wouldn't that be a nice thing?

    I'm waiting for one or more of them to come "visiting" here. It's why I have cameras in strategic locations - WITH date time generators on the recording side. I was in security systems for 40+ years. They can't be spotted.

    Send them ANYWHERE but here! PLEASE!!!
