Trump lost it
I did not see Trump's presser today, but I've read the transcript and followed the various reactions. It seems obvious that the president lost his shit. And when I say he lost it, I mean...he LOST it. If Josh Gates, Heinrich Schliemann, Vasco da Gama and Indiana Jones mounted a year-long expedition in search of Trump's Lost Shit, they'd come out of it shit-free.Is there any justification for this "both sides" rhetoric? Or for applying the "Alt Left" label to the counter-protestors? Some of them were members of Black Lives Matter. The term "Alt Left" usually refers to the BernieBros, and most black people did not support Bernie.
Mind you, I don't have any use for Antifa, which may in fact be a ratfucking operation, although I have not read enough about that group to formulate any hard conclusions. From what I have read, it would appear that most of those kids are self-proclaimed anarchists -- which means that, over the course of the next ten years, they'll no doubt make the traditional anarchism-to-libertarianism-to-GOP transition. How many times have we seen young people go down that well-worn path? Since most of 'em hate the awful, awful DNC more than they hate (say) Paul Ryan, they can't expect any applause from the likes of me.
My understanding is that most of the counter-protestors were locals, not Antifa imports. The NYT reports that none of the anti-Nazis lost their temper until after James Fields plowed his vehicle into a group of innocents. I consider that loss of temper to be justifiable, or at least inevitable: Human beings have their breaking points, and violence committed in self-defense does not have the same "semblance of guilt" as violence committed by an aggressor.
Of course, both Trump and the Alt Rightists (especially David Duke) are using that loss-of-temper as an excuse to pretend that both sides were equally at fault. Good Christ, what does Trump expect? Does he really think that decent citizens should meekly accept vehicular manslaughter committed by an acolyte of Adolf? As one wag noted: By Trumpian logic, the Nazis and the Allies were equally at fault for the violence committed on D-Day.
The Wikipedia entry on the Charlottesville incident offers no evidence for Trump's "both sides" rhetoric. Neither does it offer evidence for Trump's contention that there were non-extremists marching alongside Richard Spencer's tiki-torch Sturmabteilung.
Tomorrow, perhaps, I'll offer my thoughts concerning the knotty problem of public monuments to the so-called "heroes" of the Confederacy. There is an important example here in Bawlmer.
Kelly. You may have seen the instantly-famous photo of General Kelly looking embarrassed during Trump's Loss-of-Shit monologue. A number of progressives are now saying that Kelly should quit.
No. No.
North Korea still threatens; war jitters still beset us. In such times, we can't have a White House totally bereft of grown-up supervision. If Trump keeps imitating Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny, then Kelly may have to stage his own version of Seven Days in May.
A scenario which liberals once considered nightmarish is starting to look attractive. Or at least less dangerous than the alternative.
